Ignition advance value for Caravan by
Maus
Hi,
I drive a 2005 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.8L
I am concerned about the engine detonation (pinging), that was very
heavy in summer, especially with A/C on, and sometimes it can be heard

Key transmitter? by
Josh S
One of my 2004-300M key transmitters doesn't seem to be working.
The batteries are OK, but I can't get it to function on the car.
Is there a way to determine if it's transmitting, before I chuck it for
another.

Oil Filter Stuck. Options Please? by
JR[_3_]
This is a first for me. I can't bunge the oil filter(PH16) on my 97
Avenger. I've tried different types of wrenches, but I'm afraid I'll
crush or tear the filter. There isn't much room to work. Should I
leave it alone and change the oil more often (the car has140000k and
is driven about 100 miles a...

Here is an example of why it is over for Detroit by
billccm[_2_]
I was talking with a co-worker today about his car in the shop. He has
a 1996 Dodge Caravan with 275K miles. YES, I mean two hundred and
seventy five thousand miles.
He took the van into the shop for leaking valve covers and pan gasket.
Here is a transcript of our conversation:
ME: You know, that...

Mercedes does have electrical problems by
who
I'm sure most have noticed the very low rating given to Mercedes
recently, because of electrical problems. Like most people I took that
rating lightly, until a few days ago.
As I was entering the street from a small mall in the center of our
city, I noticed flames behind me streaking about 20...

Parking Brake light problem by
Daniel[_3_]
Does anyone have a simple fix for the parking brake light coming on and off (and the brake is not engaged) - but mostly on. Is there a simple mechanical sensor switch that I can replace, or is this a major fix? Have a 1999 Dodge Caravan with the 3.0 V6 - with 112,000 miles on it.
Thanks,

I wouldn't blame the Detroit Three executives. They were as well
prepared as Paulson was. Why would they expect more detailed answers and
plans were needed?

Bailout for the Big Three?? How will it help?? by
Pete E. Kruzer
How is giving (or lending as they say) $27 Billion to the car

92 Dodge Dynasty Wiper Problem by
Janelle717
My son's grandparents gave him a 92 Dodge Dynasty. They thought it just
needed a new windshield wiper motor so I bought one at Auto Zone today
but that didn't fix the problem. When you turn the wipers on, there is
