1)   I have driven Goodyear tires for years, and always had good luck with them. I bought a Dodge mini van in 97 and put 100K miles on it. It came with Michelin r235/65-16 tires on it. I liked them a lot, and when I did have to replace them, after 65K miles, I bought the same things again. They rode nice, and the tread wear was great, considering that front wheel drive car and vans can be hard on tires. Price wise both are comparable. I would buy the Michelins though, if I had to choose. - michael k

2)   I believe the factory tires were were Goodyear tires (the mid-level invictus?). The better and tires are the Goodyear Assurance. They cost a bit more but will give the smooth ride you want and last 40-50,000 miles. The best, in my opinion, for this car are the Michelins, but expect to pay top dollar. - C-Tech

3)   I recently put the spare on the ground so I only had to buy 3 new tires on my intrepid. It's eagle ga, and are okay but a little noisy. Change your eng oil too, you have to change the oil alot with a 2.7. - done wrenching

4)   Either! - Jackolantern

5)   The Goodyear Wranglers they put on the Jeeps are cheap pieces of crap. Michelins are over rated and over priced imho. I run Fuzion HRi on my Pontiac, nice tire at a good price. - doane_nut

6)   If you are looking for a softer tire, then you are probably looking for a michelin. Michelin tires are manufactured using a softer rubber than most, including goodyear. I'm not saying that goodyear tires are bad, but the michelins are usually better. they will handle a little better, and if you drive in snow or ice, they will have a better grip on ice since they are softer. - josh g

7)   Factory tires were Goodyear. The Imperial I drive now had Michelin replacements on it. After driving on them for 10 years, with a wonderfully quiet and smooth ride, I replaced them earlier this year with another set. I replaced them because of the age factor. - badbill1941

Question 3
I have no heat in minivan.?...  I have a 2001 Town and Country. The fan runs but no heat comes out. Do I have a problem with my heater core, or is it something else?

Answers
1)   Sounds like it's your heater core. Before you go about replacing that, check the fuse for the heater core. You should be able to find a fuse box diagram either online or in a service manual. It could be faulty wiring too, but it's unlikely. Your service manual should contain instructions on how to test whether or not your heater core functions.

Check the fuse, if it isn't blown, just take it in. - Dr. Bobo

2)   Replace your thermostat - linden

3)   let engine run to normal operating temperature,touch heater hoses going thru firewall to see if hot,if so that rules out thermostat,there is no fuse for the heater core,check the floorboard for water leak if none ,core is ok,the bottom radiator hose has a spring inside,when cool enough squeeze with a rag in hand,if spongy feeling the spring has rusted and collapsed,forming a vacuum not allowing water to circulate,could cause heater core to burst,replace,refill radiator/reservoir with proper mix antifreeze/water - ramcharger

4)   I'm going to go in a different direction than everyone else here. I'd be looking at the blend door control this is a door that slides from one side to another, it controls how much air goes thru the heater core and how much is bypassed. if it is stuck or the control for it is broken you may not be getting air directed thru the heater core, thus no warm air enters the passenger compartment. You already stated the bowler runs, so ignore the Fuse suggestion. check you heater hoses to e sure they BOTH are getting warm, if they are... I'd be looking into the blend door for sure. - jnc623

Question 4
225 engine to 318 engine?...  I need to know if a 3 speed automatic transmission off of a 225 slant six will bolt up to a 318 engine the manuel said it would but im not sure. Im pretty sure that it will bolt up to a 318 but not a 340 or 360.

Answers
1)   It will not bolt up and that manual must have been written by a idiot. but any trans from a 318, 360 or 340 will interchange since they all have the same bolt pattern, the 225 does not - rick b

2)   Sorry pal, it's not going to work. Not to mention the linkage, and a different drive-shaft. - badbill1941

3)   Yes it will bolt up. And you're right. It won't bolt to a 340 or a 360. They're both balanced internally. As a 318 is balanced externally. Combining the opposing will result in a vibration, and cause damage to your transmission. - bigbaddwulff82

4)   NO BOLT UP. If you find a 904 trans from a small block, you can throw that in with the 318 and it will even match the driveshft lengthwise. as long as the 6 cylinder had a 904. - done wrenching

Question 5
Chrysler 300c fault ?...  Got a 2008 Chrysler 300c diesel. Intermittently, the engine management light comes on. Car cuts out where ever you are. Half an hour later, when a Chrysler technician comes out, it starts up & appears to be ok. Chrysler has had the car on their analyses & can't find the problem. Can anyone help?

Answers
1)   Most likely heat related as it starts when whatever it overheating cools down again. The coil pack would be my first suspect. early failure of coil packs are possible and this is exactly the symptoms they have. Unfortunately the dealer will be reluctant to do one on warranty without proof - good luck with that. - Timbo is here

2)   I'd check grounds and other connections to the ECM. the ECM itself could have a problem, as far as the suggestion you check the coil packs.... A diesel does NOT have ignition coils. - jnc623

3)   you lucky sob, what country do you live in that you can buy a diesel powered Chrysler 300? - DodgeDude
