3)   The first answer is hilarious! I needed that laugh. I care to the extent that people may lose their livelihood as a result. If the company becomes healthy, they can always bring these vehicles back. Chevy stopped making the Camaro for a few, now its back on the block. It is just a sign of the times.

6)   The Dodge Grand Caravan and the Dodge Caliber will be missed. But the Caravan was overpriced and the Caliber never reached it's potential. The PT Cruiser should have had a remake long ago; then it would perhaps be missed. - Charles

1)   Hello,

I currently have two boys(15 and 16). I take them to the barber on a two to three month cycles (One has shorter hair and one has longer hair) . Over the winter, I let them wear their hair out as long as it doesn't look too barbaric. - Lauria

2)   Funny, I come across this question, because I just took my sons to get a hair cut today. It has been three months since their last haircut, although wife disagrees and says two months, I gave them a bit of leway. They seem to have no problem with this sequence. - Diana

1)   Not really. - done wrenching

2)   If you squint your eyes enough and look at an out of focus pic anything will look alike. - emiller1998

3)   UUHHH,no not really.... - Johnny Rotten

4)   Not for one second
do you think that GMC ripped off the 1 ton ford design
do you think that dodge challenger ripped off the camaro or the other way around
or did chrysler rip off MBZ to get the commander oh what MBZ did give that idea to chrysler
Most cars and trucks do look kind of alike because of market demand, but to go out and directly rip someone off, no - rick b

5)   Try looking at the classic Chrysler 300's from the 50 and 60's and THEN look at a new 300. See if your opinion changes. - C-Tech

6)   Wait a few more years and all cars will look a like. Why do you think Chrysler came out with the PT Cruiser? To sell to people who want a car that looks different from the mainstream. - Jackolantern

Answers
1)   take the title to the nearest dealer. the can cut a key from the vin number - Randy F

2)   You should be able to get one from a Chrysler dealership.

You will need your vehicle registration and a picture ID.

The dealer should be able to look up the VIN and cut a new key.

Before heading out to the dealer call ahead first. Ask for the parts department. Ask them this same question. This way you will know for sure before you leave the house. - Mad Jack

Question 3
oil change on a maserati?...  

Answers
1)   Yes Maseratis need their oil changed too. - glhs736

2)   Look in your owners manual for recommended intervals. - badbill1941

3)   What I recommend if you want to drive and keep the awhile change the oil twice as often as the factory recommendations suggest.Also if the vehicle hasn't had regular oil changes or it has 50,000 or over miles on it flush the engine asap too.I'd also perform a full tune up on it , check all belts , fluids ,hoses, rad,etc and change the transmission fluid and engine's coolant on it too if it's not been done or has such mileage as I mentioned on it etc.



Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way if I were you I'd use the best possible quality of oil within the factory recommended specs you can buy for that engine. - helpful bob

4)   yupyup u need that. most important part of maintaining a vehicle is changing the oil - Brian

Question 4
I have a 2008 chrysler 300 with a rattle in the front drivers side wheel well.?...  Seems to be on and off and increases when I hit the brakes and while turning right anyone have any ideas?

Answers
1)   Wheelbearing. - JR

2)   Probably your outer tie rod. I have seen many, many very loose/worn outer tie rods. Wheel bearing, rarely. You have a 2008, so if you have less than 36,000 miles, it's warrantied. No matter what, get it inspected by someone knowledgeable . - anon9

3)   All of these are possible but I think based on the year of your 300, you probably have a loose underbody panel. I'd have it checked out soon. - C-Tech

4)   common problem. if it's a flap sound, then loose underbody shield (plastic). most likely the outer tie rod. 2nd most likely is what they call the lateral link. possible bearing. - mr huh

Question 5
My car has bad gas mileage and wont shift smoothly?...  Ok i drive a 2006 chrysler sebring sedan, and its very well taken care of. It has about 85,000 miles on it, and lately i noticed the gas mileage has been so terrible, and it also has a big jerk when shifting gears, especially from 1st to second gear. I did just flush out transmission fluid and get a new air filter, but it didnt seem to help. What could be the problem? thanks

Answers
1)   maybe a bad torque converter?

or not enough transmission fluid...make sure it's up to the fill line - chickenjoe

2)   Well besides Dodge using a special chemical in their transmission fluids that can cause such jerking or bucking or gear shifting hesitations etc the transmission has a control module or transmission control system that could cause such issues or even the transmission module=TCM could have lost it's memory or have a bad ground or wire connection or the factory may have a program or flash update that is designed to fix this problem or the TCM needs to be reprogrammed or replaced via factory or dealership.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way I'd be checking to see if any codes exist just in case and be sure you check all the belts , fluid levels and add some gas treatment like STP or Lucas just in case dirt or moister etc in the fuel system is causing this problem or contributing to the problem. - helpful bob

3)   Hard to say really, it could be a number of things, but cause and effect comes to mind first. You flushed transmission fluid and now have a shifting problem. Are they related? Unknown, did you do it or have it done? Was the torque converter flushed also?

The thing to do is to go and talk to your mechanic. I'd start with a good scan to see what, if any, error codes are stored. Do you have a check engine light on?

But let your mechanic look and see what he finds, then go from there. Good luck on getting the problems resolved. - oklatom

4)   I would go to the dealer and have it checked, Also I completely disagree with Bob, mopar atf 1 2 and 3 are formulated specifically to make the transmission shift smoothly, and using any other off the shelf ATF can cause problems with the trans, and did you flush out the cooler? Now this is not to say that all this is the direct problem to your mileage, you still may have other problems with your mileage - rick b

Question 2
will there ever be a car without tires?Tired of flats.?...  I know it was a theory in the sixties that man would become so advanced that future humans would have large heads and have cars like the jetsons so far it seems bleak.

Answers
1)   They do make high end no flat tires you know. But they are like $800-1K each. - jason

2)   I have been wondering where the heck my flying car is. Where's my jetpack? We were promised these years ago. - Mad Jack

3)   do a search on the TWEEL....and see what u come up with.....its already been invented but the high cost and replacement cost have kept it out of production......
but they are trying to make it fees able for future cars....

http://www.myhonestmechanic.com/artman/uploads/tweel1.jpg - Karle

4)   They already had tires that can't go flat.

Back in the 1910's and 20's, the tires were solid rubber. - Vipassana

5)   technology is now focused on energy saving. they wana make hybrid and electric. no time to make fancy tires. - tj

6)   Watch what you buy they say right on the side tread wear, plies ect.
You have a softer riding tire softer compound lower tread wear ect. Your gonna be more prone to getting punctures then with a tire with a higher tread wear. They might ride rougher but that's the trade off.

I had a 96 ranger had goodyear RTS tires from the factory I was constantly getting punctures in them. When I switched to BFG ATs I never had but one puncture in them on 2 sets. Was driving the same places.
When you really notice the difference in tires is when you start fixing your own flats. You can buy plugs and plug them right on the car. get a little dish soap and water old windex bottle and watch for bubbles. pull your nail out then plug it. I was suprised at how easy the goodyear tires were to plug they were like paper. if it's that easy to get a plug in imagine how easy it would be for a screw or nail to puncture it.

Im not saying your still not gonna get a nail in a harder tire but you will not get no where near as many. - matt p

Question 3
I Want to know How bad is the Chrysler Pt Cruiser?...  I think that chrysler is a really bad brand but i wanna know what you think

Answers
1)   No sub-frame, poor suspension, poor handling, and rough ride. Low on power and don't cornor good, and the list goes on, also hard to work on. - wampaskitty2001

2)   it depends on how much you paid for it , 500 $ killer 15,000$ not so good ! - alex

3)   I rented one once for a cross country trip and only got 24 mpg, not so good for a small 4 cylinder vehicle... - SVOMAN

4)   im offended that you think chrysler is a bad brand. i know somebody who owns a chrysler pt cruiser. i have driven it and i like it.

it woudlnt be my first choice for a car but its not bad. it seems to go fairly easy even if it lacks power, cornering isnt so bad (it actually corners better then my 2003 nissan altima), but for a 4 cylinder the fuel economy sucks (only 24 mpg highway, thats pathetic)

a pt cruiser is basically a modern chrysler k car, its just basic transportation. and to be honest, id rather have a 1988 chrysler k car then a 2007 pt cruiser - David A

5)   Cons:
No sub-frame, poor suspension, poor reliability, rough ride, low on power and doesn't handle well, hard to work on.

Pros:

Question 4
Recently My 2001 chrysler concorde has benn running warmer. Any suggestions?...  It usually resides at the midway mark on the temp gadge. It has been creeping up a bit, but then I crank the heat and it goes back down. I taking it in for a flush in the AM. It has about 108k on it.

Answers
1)   Things that can affect motor temp: low coolant (or improper mix), low oil (engine and/or differential/transmission) blocked radiator(s) (water/transmission/etc.) Water pump failing. Fan(s) failing/slipping. And ambient air temp. I'm thinking 108k is too long between flush and refill maintenance - should be done at least every other year. Also the proper ratio of water to antifreeze/coolant must be used as water alone is not as effective. Besides, the antifreeze/coolant contains stuff to lubricate the water pump - use the kind recommended by the car's maker.

.bh. - zepper0

2)   on the cheap side could be a thermostat worst case head gasket could be bad. - bartman

3)   replace the thermostat - jr

4)   and don't forget the thermostat ! - Delmer S

5)   I'd not rush to change or flush the coolant system I'd first check the quality and mixture , plus the coolant level buy yourself a anti-freeze tester from walmart etc try testing the coolant when the engine is cool.Once you know the level mixture and quality of the coolant is okay I'd see when you have the thermostat hose squeezed after the engine is cold started if pressure builds up but to me it sounds like the thermostat is working or is sticking or the coolant quality or level or mixture is wrong.


Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way don't mix the coolant with just water use distilled water and don't mix it more then 50/50 or for more then about -40C.If you do change the coolant be sure you change the thermostat too. - helpful bob

4)   After retiring from Chrysler with 23 years, I can tell you that the Honda is a better car with all the things wrong with it at this time.

My 1973 Plymouth Scamp will not start.?...  I just bought a 1973 Plymouth Scamp basically fully restored, but for some reason now it won't start. It will try to turn over, but it just wont completely start. I replaced the ignition coil and the ignition module. It has an MSD ignition system so I'm not going to buy a box unless I absolutely have to. When we checked for a spark it didn't have one. I don't know what to do anymore. I need help.

Answers
1)   the car is 36 years old for crying out loud...what do ya expect??? - CuRiouS oNe

2)   Check the ballast resister.....should have 12 volts on one end @ around 9 volts on the other.. - cigar man

3)   Contact MSD and they will tell you how to check for no spark or power in their system. Or it may be on their website - rick b

2000 Plymouth Neon stuck in park?...  I moved my neon back without turning the car all the way on and when I tried to start it i noticed the steering wheel was not locked and the key would not turn. I tried rocking the car and turning the wheel at the samee time and moving the shifter and still nothing. what should i try?
It is automatic and I did the bump and roll and jerk and jiggle and still nothing.

Answers
1)   automatic? roll and bump into park - JimT

2)   make sure the foot brake is all the way in. Move the steering wheel while moving the key in the ignition.(jiggle it) some times the steering column gets stuck. - david3f

3)   Take it to the dealer, body control module thinks someone tried to steal it. - Mark

4)   If I understand you correctly, the key will not turn in the ignition, is that correct? If so then a tumbler in the lock may be sticking. If put the key in the lock, tap the head of the key toward the lock (NOT too hard, light to medium taps), and try to turn the key (pliers or vise grips holding the key helps), you'll shake the stuck tumbler loose. Good luck. - C-Tech

Is a crysler crossfire ok?

Question 1
Is a crysler crossfire ok?...  My son is very into cars and just got his license. Hes been looking for a car has found one he really likes....an 05 Crysler Crossfire. I had too think about this as this car is a sports car and hes only 16. I know the insurance would probly be a bit higher....but he is very mature and takes good care of things. What do u think...crossfire or not?

Answers
1)   for a Crysler sure one of the last cars most would want to own you know that they been trying to go bankrupt for 40 yrs now has not made a great car in the 40 yrs ive been driving but better than a yugo - kelly_f_1999

2)   Great car, shares its frame,drivetrain, and some interior bits with Mercedes SL. - djaca70

3)   Why not if he's as good a kid as you say, and you can afford the insurance. But the car never sold well. But that does not mean it is a bad car. It's now out of production. People for whatever reason just never paid attention to it.Look online of information.

I can tell you a full set of tires are $1,500.00 per set! If not more by now, that price was over a year ago.

Definitely NOT a good winter car. No traction on snow or ice. The tires are way to wide for that. - escort500xlr

4)   i have one. v6 3.2. come on, be serious, not for a 16 year old., you must have more money than sense. the car is far to powerful for someone with no driving experience. start him off in a 106 or 206 or whatever but not a crossfire. - movana

5)   Here's the thing about a Crossfire. The Crossfire was the first attempt of Chrysler and Mercedes engineers to work together. Mercedes gave Chrysler their old technology to apply Chrysler's new design. It wasn't too successful because the competition already caught up to Mercedes old tech and Chrysler had to cripple its design to fit what they were given. Now with that said, the Crossfire was a fairly reliable, if cramped coupe. It is expensive to repair if something does break (same as Mercedes, BMW, or Audi). The performance is on par with a Mazda Miata or Honda S2000. Tires are expensive (if you do buy it, check the tires - rear tires wear out first). Make sure your get 2 keys (expensive keys). Good luck. - C-Tech

4)   After retiring from Chrysler with 23 years, I can tell you that the Honda is a better car with all the things wrong with it at this time. I would definitely fix the Honda and drive it as opposed to the Sebring which wasn't that good a car from the start. Sebring coup is a Mitsubishi built car under the Chrysler/Mitsubishi partnership.

Question 2
Are PT Cruisers reliable and good cars to drive?...  I'm looking for my first car. I'm a college student and I love the looks of a PT Cruiser. I am test driving three tomorrow. I just wanted to hear some opinions about this car. Does anyone own one or like them? I am looking to buy a used car and looking at a lot of 2001 models. Any advice on this car would be great! Thanks=)

Answers
1)   l own a 2004 pt cruiser .
it is a nice car ,smooth ride buttttttttttttt.
if you are the type of person like my wife who likes to go over the parking concrete stops like the ones on the parking spaces in time you will loose your bumper she did and if you want a low rider there it is why they made the front end so low l will never know.
other problems automatic shifter cable had to replace it twice .
am having over heating problems right know.
you need to be extra carefull when you are changing lanes to your right you cant see to well because of the obstruction of the body.
other then that its been a good car good gas mileage would l buy another one no way - joe

2)   A PT cruiser is just a dodge neon mini van....Sure they are good cars... - Johnny Rotten

3)   It's a good cars when properly maintained. For a used one, see if the owner has maintenence records. The timing belt and water pump needs to be changed every 70,000 miles or so. If it has fog lights, sometimes the switch malfunctions and they stay on draining the battery. Make sure all the switches work. Test drive it before you buy it. There are some good ones and bad ones out there like any used car. Good luck. - C-Tech

4)   It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota... First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car - for example here - carquotes.sinfree.net - Antony

3)   Try slightly moving the ignition switch key a little and see if that cures it while in operation,(be very careful of traffic). if everything comes back on the ignition switch under the dash is bad. fairly easy to replace. - Mitchell T

4)   There is a fuse in that system but I highly doubt its a fuse problem the dash cluster could have a bad circuit connection or a faulty ground both are quite common or the body control module=BCM could have a bad wire or bad ground going to it or to the cluster assembly.

Sometimes switches or circuits that supply power either to the cluster or the comps can cause such issues like a bad ignition or power junction even.Again keep in mind that these clusters or BCM's etc can be bought cheap if you go to a do it yourself auto wreckers.


Hope that helps and best of luck. - helpful bob

Question 5
can you damage the valves on a 2001 pt cruiser if your timing belt breaks?...  

Answers
1)   Sure ! -The Valves, & a whole lot of OTHER Things- if you don't hurry up & get that Belt replaced !!! :o - Joseph the Second

2)   well you should just get rid of it anyways cause sorry but those cars are total pieces of Sh*it but no since you just need to replace it although if you think they are do a compression test to see if the psi is low and the valves may need to be fixed because they arent fitting into place anymore - None

3)   The 2.4L is a semi interference engine, you do not have to worry about the pistons hitting and bending valves. However, the engine has valve interference, meaning if one cam shaft is stationary and the other is still spinning, there will be valves that touch.

I own a 2001 PT Cruiser and the timing belt jumped on me on the way back home after buying it (I bought it knowing the belt needed to be done, and was going to be doing that even before it was registered), and lucky for me, the valves were not damaged at all, but on a clients 2002 PT Cruiser, the belt jumped and the valves touched and did a bunch of damage. If you're thinking you need a belt, chances are you do (by age alone you will need it done, unless its already been done once, if it has, then you're going off mileage). Its really a 50/50 chance you'll do damage if the belt breaks or jumps. - gregthomasparke

4)   The 2001 PT Cruiser has what is called an "interference engine", which means that the parts within the engine are so closely fitted, that should your timing belt break, there is a good chance you will damage internal parts. That includes your valves.

Changing the timing belt may cost you about $600.00. If it breaks on you and causes internal damage, you are looking at more than twice that figure. - Joe

Question 3
water leaking under dash on passenger side of my 96 chrysler T&C?...  It just started leaking right below the glove compartment where the heat comes out? Not a huge leak just drips. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answers
1)   pop the hood and check the coolant hose connections to your heater core located behind the glove compartment. corrosion causes them to swell and get brittle around the clamps and cause leaks. - sack-o-tools

2)   It is most likely the heater core itself that is leaking. Before dropping a bunch of cash on the repair, check under the hood as previously stated in another answer. Depending on where you live you may be able to do a bypass to be able to use the van until it gets repaired. Just remember, a bypassed heater core means no heat in the vehicle. I have bypassed the heater core in my 81 El Camino, but I don't drive it in the winter so no heat is no big deal for me.

Changing the heater core can be a time consuming job that is best left to someone that has the skills and tools to do it without damaging the dash as the heater core is located behind the dash on the passenger side of the firewall. - JimW

3)   put a white towel down where the leak is and if its green fluid you have a heater core problem, if its clear you have a heater core / ac drain problem and was your windshield replaced not to long ago? if so you may have a seal problem - rick b

4)   If it is clear water the a/c drain is plugged. Under the hood, on the firewall left side looking toward the back, there is a little rubber tube and it could be stopped up. If it is greenish it is antifreeze and the heater core is bad. - Mitchell T

1999 Chrysler Sebring Convertible serious oil leak left side of engine below the timing belt cover. Help?...  Can anyone point me in the right direction? Cannot keep oil in the car. Help.

Answers
1)   WOW your chrysler made it 10 years, WOW, my engine blew in my 04 with 57K on it, there is only one thing i would do with that car, junk it and get another one, - Czech Me Out

2)   Check the gasket on the oil pan which is just below the timing belt. - dude I

3)   Yo! What's hip-pappinin my friend. More than likely you have a bad crank or bad cam seal. It's spewing out one of the two! Get them bad boys buttoned back up and be rollin oil spew free for a good amount of time! Keep it real bro, keep on keepin on! - spooled20g

4)   Either crank or cam seal(most likely the crank), it's best to get them replaced at the same time along with belts. Should be less than $1,000. Like was said already, it's amazing it lasted that long. How many miles again? - Mark

Question 5
Are PT Cruisers reliable and good cars to drive?...  I'm looking for my first car. I'm a college student and I love the looks of a PT Cruiser. I am test driving three tomorrow. I just wanted to hear some opinions about this car. Does anyone own one or like them? I am looking to buy a used car and looking at a lot of 2001 models. Any advice on this car would be great! Thanks=)

Answers
1)   l own a 2004 pt cruiser .
it is a nice car ,smooth ride buttttttttttttt.
if you are the type of person like my wife who likes to go over the parking concrete stops like the ones on the parking spaces in time you will loose your bumper she did and if you want a low rider there it is why they made the front end so low l will never know.
other problems automatic shifter cable had to replace it twice .
am having over heating problems right know.
you need to be extra carefull when you are changing lanes to your right you cant see to well because of the obstruction of the body.
other then that its been a good car good gas mileage would l buy another one no way - joe

2)   A PT cruiser is just a dodge neon mini van....Sure they are good cars... - Johnny Rotten

3)   It's a good cars when properly maintained. For a used one, see if the owner has maintenence records. The timing belt and water pump needs to be changed every 70,000 miles or so. If it has fog lights, sometimes the switch malfunctions and they stay on draining the battery. Make sure all the switches work. Test drive it before you buy it. There are some good ones and bad ones out there like any used car. Good luck. - C-Tech

4)   It should be 4-door, 4-cyls, not sporty. I would prefer Honda or Toyota... First time drivers usually have much more expensive car insurance, and it depends from car. You should compare insurance rates while choosing the car - for example here - carquotes.sinfree.net - Antony

water leaking under dash on passenger side of my 96 chrysler T&C?

Question 1
water leaking under dash on passenger side of my 96 chrysler T&C?...  It just started leaking right below the glove compartment where the heat comes out? Not a huge leak just drips. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answers
1)   pop the hood and check the coolant hose connections to your heater core located behind the glove compartment. corrosion causes them to swell and get brittle around the clamps and cause leaks. - sack-o-tools

2)   It is most likely the heater core itself that is leaking. Before dropping a bunch of cash on the repair, check under the hood as previously stated in another answer. Depending on where you live you may be able to do a bypass to be able to use the van until it gets repaired. Just remember, a bypassed heater core means no heat in the vehicle. I have bypassed the heater core in my 81 El Camino, but I don't drive it in the winter so no heat is no big deal for me.

Changing the heater core can be a time consuming job that is best left to someone that has the skills and tools to do it without damaging the dash as the heater core is located behind the dash on the passenger side of the firewall. - JimW

3)   put a white towel down where the leak is and if its green fluid you have a heater core problem, if its clear you have a heater core / ac drain problem and was your windshield replaced not to long ago? if so you may have a seal problem - rick b

4)   If it is clear water the a/c drain is plugged. Under the hood, on the firewall left side looking toward the back, there is a little rubber tube and it could be stopped up. If it is greenish it is antifreeze and the heater core is bad. - Mitchell T

Question 2
1965 plymouth valiant slant v6?...  this car was sitting for long time and the engine its stuck. the water pump doesn't turn and the pistons are all stuck. i want to know how much would it be for a shop to get it working or is there any way i can get it working. i live in canada vancouver b.c.

Answers
1)   prolly like 300 to get it fixed.. but once its fixed keep that car slant six's are the best and strongest engine ever! - lexicarssupra

2)   It's not a V6, it's a straight 6 that's not vertical, hence the term "slant 6"

You will need a complete rebuild if the engine is seized. Unless this Valiant is a convertible, it's probably not worth it.

. - PMack

3)   A 65 Valiant is getting to be a rare car. Especially if it's a 2 door hard top. 4 doors are plentiful. So are the slant 6es. You can buy a running good slant 6 for about 50 to 100 bucks. There everywhere. The reason for it is because they don't break. There one of the toughest engines ever made. I'm sure you can find one in a junk yard there. As many as there are that still run perfect and don't burn oil you should be able to find them everywhere. Two things to look for when buying a slant 6. oil leaks. Slant 6es are prone to leak oil at the oil filter adapter and at the spark plug cups. The seals get old and leak. There made from paper. They will also leak at the crank. I personally have seen slant 6es with over 3 hundred thousand miles need nothing but a reseal.

There is one thing you can try if you want to. You can pour about 2 to five gallons of brake fluid or trans fluid down the carb. It will dissolve any rust that has formed in the cylinders and unstick the rings. You can try it. Let it soak until you see brake fluid/trans fluid coming out of the oil pan plug hole. I've seen it work. As long as the rust is very thin on the cylinder walls. - Lex Luthor

4)   If it has been sitting for a "long time" (especially outside) you will face a number of problems in addition to the engine being stuck - including electrical and fuel

for instance the fuel tank will need to be removed and cleaned out and the fuel pump may need to be replaced - for a shop just to do that would be $300 (assuming the fuel tank is not all rusted out)

I would say, if the engine can get broken loose without a rebuild - $1500 for a shop to do - roadrunner426440

Question 4
would a 2002 Chrysler 300M have good gas mileage?...  

Answers
1)   i didn't realize they made those that long ago..

and... no... it wouldn't.. unless it was a v6. and even then, not great.

02 was before the gas prices started skyrocketing. remember? and al gore hadn't done his "we're all going to die" movie.

there were also NO hybrid cars out there, etc etc.. for that matter, 95% of the world was still on dial up internet in 2002... and computers were 1/8 as powerful as they are today.

funny how things change in just a few years.... - Mitch

2)   Both trims of the 2002 Chrysler 300M (Base and Special) have a 16/24 MPG rating. That means it gets 16 city, and 24 highway. So in other words no, that is not good mileage at all. However, it has 250hp and 255 ft-lbs of torque. The 300M isn't going to be a rocket because it weighs over 3600lbs.

If you're looking to get better performance and mileage than that, go with a higher trim Japanese import sedan. It will be better all around and much more reliable. You may have to sacrifice some space, but if you've ever sat in the back of a 300M/Intrepid you would know that headroom is a more important issue then leg room - booyahbd

3)   It should get from 19 to 29 mpg - done wrenching

What fluid should I use in my Mopar 904 tranny?

Question 1
What fluid should I use in my Mopar 904 tranny?...  I just had a 72 904 rebuilt. The shop is closed now, so I can't ask them! D*mn it! I went to auto store and they said ATF Dex/Merc.

I just want to be sure. I sometimes wonder if it even matters???

Answers
1)   I recommend Mopar ATF 3 or ATF 4. ATF 3 is what was recommended by Chrysler. ATF 4 is the latest synthetic version and is very good. - C-Tech

2)   ATF + 3, don't use synthetic. - Michael

3)   C-Tech is right and Mopar has a couple of good information web sites also - carlar58

4)   Dexron is what the factory used and will work just fine.Personally I run type F in the ones I've built for drag racing.Also on the transmission dipstick it will tell you the proper fluid to use. - Amy m

5)   If the transmission was built to 1972 specs I would use Dexron/Mercron as that was an acceptable ATF to use that year. Chrysler started using ATF+3 (a synthetic fluid) in 1990 and now uses ATF+4.

Not sure what, if any damage, would occur if ATF+4 would be used in a '72 spec built 904.

And it does matter in later Chrysler transmissions, Dexron/Mercron will ruin a post '90 transmission. - Don't know everything !

6)   Dexron would be the standard fluid, type F for Fords if you want a harder shift. We used these fluids in drag cars back in the 60s and 70s. - Samboski

Question 2
I have a 2005 Chrysler PT Cruiser GT 2.4 HO Turbo. Oil light issues.?...  When I start the car in the morning the oil light will be on and stay on, but if I shut the car off and turn it right back on it stays off. This only happens during the cold weather. And usually only on the first start of the day or if the car has been sitting for several hours. What would cause this?

Answers
1)   those are UGGLLLLLLYYYYYY. - hey what's going on?

2)   Either you have a bad oil pressure sending unit, or an oil pick-up in the oil pan which is clogged. I would try replacing the sending unit first. - C-Tech

3)   Check your oil level, but I wonder two things:
What weight oil are you using? In general, the thickest oil you should use is 5W30. Your owners manual may even recommend a lighter oil than that. 10W30 is too thick for modern engines in cold weather.

What brand of oil filter are you using? The famous orange ones are known for drainback issues, where the oil drains back back down past the filter's check valve down into the oil pan. The oil then must be pumped back up when you start the car. The drain back could take over night, or several hours. You would notice it more in the morning because the oil is colder and thicker. You probably hear a slight clattering until the light goes off. Try Purolator, or Mobil 1 filters (if you use synthetic oil).
The only other reason I can think of is if your throttle body is very dirty or you need some other "tune up" part/sensor, etc. and the car is not idling well (to slowly). You don't mention any running problems though.

A side note: With a turbo, you should be using synthetic oil. It doesn't build up in the oil lines (like cholesterol), and end up starving the turbo for oil (which kills the turbo unit). Also, let your engine idle for a minute before you shut it off to let the turbo shed heat. This is more important after driving hard, or at higher speeds. Consult your manual for the weight of oil. Being a turbo, they MIGHT recommend slightly thicker. - GTCturboII

4)   Sounds like you may need a new oil pressure gauge. The only way to know is to have the sensor checked. - Kimberly

Question 5
I own a 1974 RoadRunner/GTX, is this a rare cars? It is a u code car with 2 data plates because it is loaded w?...  RM21U4G is VIN, I was informed that only 356 were built, would like to know how rare this car is, and out of the 356 what # build was it?

Answers
1)   Search the web for forums devoted to the '71-74 Roadrunner/GTX. Any muscle car that hasnt rotted away or beaten to death and is still solid is rare IMHO and I've had muscle cars since I was 15 so Ive had a "few"." - pontiacpowered71

2)   It really is not a gtx.This was just a sticker option for the last year of the roadrunner...To try to sell extra cars...If it were a true GTX the vin would be RS.....Mopar Action did a write up on this car... - Johnny Rotten

3)   It is indeed a rare car. Starting in '72, the GTX was a cosmetic option on the RoadRunner and the Roadrunner was based on the Belvedere body, hence the second letter M in the VIN and was the last year of the B-body Roadrunner. See http://www.allpar.com/model/index.html for a little more info.

I can't tell you with any accuracy if 356 was the number built in '74 and can't tell you what number it was as the numbers were in sequence for the Belvedere line. But I can say with more than one data plate it has to be pretty well optioned, a car definitely worth keeping/restoring or whatever. - Don't know everything !
