Now that I have replaced my window clip and door handle. It is time for some more fun things. I would like to replace the door speakers. Any suggestions on where to purchase new speakers, what brand of speakers I should purchase or things I should look out for? I'm tired of that crackling sound....

We have a 1999 Chrysler Concorde and my wife reports that the "Check Engine" light is on. First thing this morning, I did the key "On-Off-On-Off-ON..." trick to "code" the car and it reported the following on the odometer: P 1684 P 0172 I’m used to the "older" coding where the Check Engine would...

The cheap Japanese automobiles have defeated you - finally. Please Rest in Pieces. RIP Chrysler!!!

I've got a '98 Plymouth Grand Voyager. I've discovered how to get the instrument panel to display codes and go through a self-test routine by holding down the trip and trip reset buttons simultaneously while turning the ignition to Run, then counting to 5. After the word "Codes" appears in the...

I just had the fluid changed on my '95 Voyager with the 4-speed automatic. The dealer put in ATF+4. Since then I've seen the text of TSB 21-004-04, which is certainly one of the most confusing documents that I've read in quite a while. The text of it appears...

My 2002 (Dodge) GC ES with 3.8L has just passed 110,000 miles. Does anyone have a maintenance guideline/schedule that should be followed with the higher miles on the engine/tranny? For the 3.8L engine, what is the recommended time to replace the timing belt/chain? If the engine has not been...

Something for nothing: Part II By Thomas Sowell Published March 3, 2006 Government is not the only institution that promises something for nothing. The decline of General Motors is just one consequence of the idea labor unions can get their members something for nothing. Workers themselves...

As they often say, the workers cannot fix a management problem. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/gm-chrysler-were-a-mess -car-czar/article1331827/ ³ We were shocked, even beyond our low expectations, by the poor state of both GM and Chrysler. Looking just at the condition of...

Can anybody tell me _exactly_ how Chrysler PCMs determine 'fuel mixture lean' condition? I'm running Dodge Durango 99 on propane, and PCM consistently throws P0171 condition. Propane computer (Autronic) feeds emulated O2 sensor signal into vehicle PCM, and allows me to set emulation parameters:...

The check engine light came on to my 96' sebring conv. The car is still running properly, I want to try and get the codes for what was wrong. I found out how to run the computer tests with the tripometer, however no codes scame up. The only thing that did come up other than the standard puter check...

One of the light bulbs in the third (center) brake light of my '00 Intrepid is burnt out. Looks like I have to pull off the trim from underneath the trunk lid to get to the bulb. Is there an "easy" way (and what is the proper tool to use) to pull off the trim and those plastic nuts so I can...

Hello all, I just purchased a '73 Plymouth Valiant in faded root-beer brown with the 225 slant six from a co-worker for the grand sum of $0. While I'm a car buff, I've never really worked on cars before, and I figure this is a good basic car to learn how to tinker on and dream about fixing up into...

My check engine light is on and the battery light is also on. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle since I purchased it. It has had four air conditioner compressors replaced to date. NOW, my new problem is: check engine light is on - the machine code states to replace computer, I...

92 Spirit R/T. hard start below 40(F) outdoor temps, cold engine. (3-4 hours from last start). will run for a few seconds, then quit. After repeated attempts it will eventually stay running, albeit, very rough, and w/ exhaust backfire. Once running for 2 1/2 minutes (almost exactly), regardless...

Thanks for the help in the other posts. I have 3 more, pretty straightforward questions, I think. #2 is the most imporant. :) I have a '95 Lebaron. My left horn broke, and I replaced it with a horn from a friend's '95 Caravan, which had been wrecked. His horn seems louder than mine was, maybe...

This story is also making the rounds on the TV network news up here today. It's not clear to me if some newer vehicles (like 2005 Chevy Avalanche and others) have potentially faulty immobilizers, or they plain just don't have them. Do they have a 1 in 60 (or better) chance of being stolen because...
