Should we start boycotting GM and Chrysler so that fascism is not encouraged in this country?

Question 1
Should we start boycotting GM and Chrysler so that fascism is not encouraged in this country?...  Fascism = government ownership of private property. Obama is a fascist. Only way to stop this one part of his fascism is through boycott.

Answers
1)   Try Hitler and Mussolini. - remoive me from answers

2)   Go nuts. But if you refuse to buy anything from them the loan money will never get paid off because they would risk going bankrupt again. Or you can continue to support them and they will continue (GM is at least, Chrysler was forced to be sold to Fiat) to repay the loan. Considering they have to pay interest on the loans the government is making a profit. - emiller1998

3)   I'm sure you're completely unaware Toyota has accepted over a billion dollars in financial assistance from OUR government. And you complain more when they help native corporations? - American Idle

4)   GM just announced that they're going to make another large loan repayment to the government. They took the loans as a last resort and I believe that nobody wants them repaid more than GM and Chrysler. If we boycott them they'll never be able to repay the money. - Rick

Question 2
can a Chrysler transponder key be reprogrammed?...  I had a 06 Chrysler 300c (5.7L) and it was totaled and I still have two keys for it.

After my car was totaled i purchased a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT-8 (6.1L) and only had one key for it. The key is now missing and I was wondering if i can take my old keys (300c) and take out the chip and put it in another key if i will be able to program it. I asked the dealer and he said he was not sure.

Please only provide FACTS and not opinions, and please only talk about chrysler products (chrysler, dodge, jeep)

Answers
1)   No. - Dave

2)   No. Chrysler chips lock when initially programmed. You won't be able to program the chip regardless, a scan tool is required. - Hillbilly Locksmith

3)   You will have to purchase a new key from a dealer and the dealer will have to take the new key and program it to the sentry chip located around the ignition switch. - Jackolantern

Question 3
1997 concord rear-wheel drive?...  I'm not an expert on cars, but I had a 97 concord that could not handle well in the snow or bad weather. I used to burn rubber when I hit the gas too fast. I thought it was a rear-wheel drive, does anyone know if this sounds right. Please help

Answers
1)   Front wheel drive. - Mark

2)   It is for sure a front wheel drive. I used to own one. - nellybob

3)   the Concord is a Chrysler LH platform car. It has the motor sitting north to south like most rear wheel drives but is a trans axle front wheel drive car. - DodgeDude

Question 4
Where is the emergency fuel shut off inertia switch or relay in a 1986 Plymouth Conquest TSi?...  The car is also known as a Mitsubishi Starion. I need an answer soon because the car wont start and I already replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter. Also I removed the fuel line going to the injector and no gas is coming through when I crank the engine. So if you think it is a different problem, please tell me.

Answers
1)   nice car. check for fuel before the pressure regulator - mjmik1

2)   There probably is no reset switch, if it has one, it would likely be in the trunk somewhere. If it has a relay, it would be under the hood somewhere.

Best thing is to get a manual that has wiring diagrams and see if it shows if it has and where the shut down relay would be located (also called auto-shut down relay -- ASD for short). It might also be a fuel pump relay. Also, check all of the fuses to make sure it isn't a blown fuse, and check the wires going to the pump to make sure they didn't get broken, pulled out, or chewed by rodents, etc.

You could also check to see if it's getting power to the pump connector, to make sure it isn't a bad pump. I've seen it happen, especially with cheap aftermarket pumps.

If you can't find it, try checking with a Conquest/Starion enthusiast message board to see if someone there has more knowledge and can help you better. I never really worked on any of these and have very limited knowledge of them. But I do know they're fun cars to drive :) - Mark B

3)   i did not know there were anny of these cars left - Steve

Question 5
360 V8 in a Chrysler Sebring?...  I think it would be neat if someone put a 360 V8 and 5-speed manual in a '98 Sebring, along with doing a RWD conversion. They're sporty looking cars, just too civilized. Would a V8 even fit in the engine bay?

Answers
1)   Sure, it would fit, but you'd have to fabricate the entire undercarriage from scratch. Because the Sebring is a unibody, the sheet metal body is one complex weldment, you could maybe mount it on an existing rear drive frame instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. It'd take a pile of $$$$ and a complete shop, but it would be possible. - rick29148

2)   It could be done. It will be expensive. A completely fabricated front subframe and rear subframe for the suspension will need the be built. A crate Hemi motor would be my engine choice and the Viper trans and rear suspension assembly is availible. Are you listening Jay Leno? - C-Tech

3)   It can be done but its easier to put a v8 in the first body intrepids. The floorpan actually has a tunnel shape that a drive shaft can fit in to convert to rear wheel drive, you can use a differential with half shafts in the rear not hard to fab a mount. I did this swap and you wouldnt believe how many people in camaros, mustangs are left scratching there heads when i leave them at a stop light.
