Answers
1)   If you only have 1 key, you're going to have to go to the dealer or a locksmith for the second key to be programmed. That may run from $25 to over $100, so pick the dealer wisely by calling around. The reason is, the programming requirement is to have 2 keys working before adding a 3rd or more (up to 8).

Best place to get a transponder key is off Ebay. Shouldn't be more than $15/20 ea. - yakdude89

2)   call a local locksmith or dealer ship and yes get another key made just smart no matter what it cost - kelly_f_1999

3)   A duplicate key averages $55 - $65 in this area. Don't bother with ebay keys. Dealers can't program them by company policy and locksmith won't due to liability. Many ebay keys chips are used and therefore locked to the original vehicle they were programmed to. When it won't program, the consumer screams the locksmith/dealer did something wrong and messed up their key. Buy local so you have recourse and support. - Hillbilly Locksmith

4)   Call around to the local dealers (Chrysler or Dodge) and get a price for the key and programming. Some Hi-Tech locksmiths have the euipment to make and program those keys now, so check with them too. The price will probably range from $100 to 200. Good luck. - C-Tech

5)   If its a black headed key it is NOT a transponder key(a key with a chip in it) you can have those made anywhere. If it is a gray headed key then it does a have chip in it and you will have to have ther dealer do it because it has to be programmed to the car, or have a lock smith come out and cut and program the key. I work in the parts dept of a chrysler dealership and we charge $25.00 for the key and $30.00 for programming. - shortmama7j

Why does my 2001 Chrysler T&C 3.8L whine when I accelerate?...  

Answers
1)   You are probably hearing the turbo charger - Zedakiah

2)   With the information given I would say it's a power steering pump If the pitch of the noise raises to match the rpms.it's a pretty common issue with these engines. - John

3)   You probably have a bad pulley bearing on 1 of the items the serp. belt drives. It could be the tensioner, idler, or even the alternator or power steering pump. If you can get a mechanic's stethoscope and listen to each item you will find the offending item before it breaks. Good luck. - C-Tech

Question 5
1992 plymouth laser $400 or 1995 plymouth neon $500?...  Just like the title says. The neon needs new alternator, whereas the laser reports no problems. I prefer the look of the laser, but I want to know which is an all around better car? Both look to be in pretty good condition( minus the alternator on the neon, but is that a big deal, or could I drive it home before I replace that?), and either way I'd test drive it and look under the hood( I know roughly how it should look). and under the car(for rust and stuff). And also, what are some good aftermarket interior upgrades? I'm thinking of a new radio first, as these are both old cars, the ones that come with them probably aren't very good..... I don't love plymouth or anything, just I like these two cars. And I know neither are made by plymouth, the laser's a mitsubishi eclipse, and the neon is a dodge neon.

Answers
1)   I would not go for the Neon they where cheap built cars with Aluminum Engine heads and Cast Iron Blocks. Aluminum expands twice as fast as cast iron causing numerous head gasket problems especially on cars over 80K miles. - Ryan M

2)   Well either or will work, but I don't think for the price for both cars they are not flawless in total and mods to either car will be the same, but in the long run the laser will turn out to be more expensive in parts, but more parts will fail on the neon, and a note the laser has a aluminum head also. Its up to you, what you like and what you can fix yourself and what you can afford - rick b
