    Paxton 2000 metal flecks on belt

    Hi, just reporting in on an unusual observation. My 06 has 71k miles including on the Paxton unit as it was installed new. Decided to rebuild the unit and during the removal I noticed the pulley on the Novi was rather rough. This didn't make any sense as I would have assumed a shiny grooved...

    Heads up on strut life

    In my recent work that I have posted I discovered my driver rear unit is leaking. I have almost 62kmiles so I should be content. However I would have had more life out of it if it had a tubular shroud on the top to keep fine grit collecting on the shaft. I'm sure that wore out the seal ,thus the...

    Door Insulation

    The recent chase on the battery drain has led me to another project. I have realized that the doors are a huge empty box for resonating the exhaust rumble. The cars are fitted with a decent stereo system but is neutralized by the pipes. I decided to shoot the door interior and the panel with...

    Huge safety issue

    Uncovered a very dangerous condition with the door locks. I decided to check out my door electrical because of the battery drain and found a flimsy link was sitting by the enclosure as I removed the speaker. Found that it had fatigued off the door handle which mechanically opens the door when...

    BCM Battery Drain

    Been trying to find the cause and I traced it to fuse B3 which feeds into the body control unit. There is a steady draw of .26amps which nicely drops to. 03amps when the fuse is pulled, thus confirming the bcm. Anyone have any thoughts on what might be suspect? Thanks Max

    Oil Testing Service

    I believe there are services out there that do this but looking for some input on interest. I'm equipped to do a simple viscosity check as well as possibly volatiles. These two go hand in hand as oil breaks down over time as well as gas vapors blowing into the crankcase. It would be a running...

    Power Steering Pressure Line Solution

    Decided to start this thread as a fresh discussion on my leaking unit (2006). After further investigation, I believe that the failures of original and repaired units is the result of tooling marks left on the 1/2" tube during its fabrication. The critical seal point is at the taper section of...

    Any experiences to share on doing this repair? Calls for tool 8875 to pop the line free, any issues? Called local Chrysler in Hickory NC, had no clue on the tool. Max

    Low Cold Start Idle and Stall

    My 06 with Paxton barely idles at 500, or less, and if I don't tap the pedal, it will stall. Once it's run a bit all is well. Any ideas? This was the same experience that my son had with it and he just accepted it. I didn't see this until recently so I don't know if it's something more evolving...

    Sluggish Driver Window: 06 Coupe

    When I open the door the window is not quite fast enough to drop so that it hits/scrapes the top seal area. It's a challenge to remember to open the door slowly. More times than not the window gets a slight deflection because of my yanking the door open faster than it drops. Is there a solution...

    Water Leaks: where are the likely sources?

    I intend on running 06 coupe 24/7 and would like to hear about places to check/seal for water leaks?

    Altering the seat height on the 06

    Along with the work described on the other post on insulation, I decided to move my butt vertically. On a good day, before getting beaten down, I stretch to 5'6". I took a length of 1.25" steel rod, cut 2 lengths and machined them each to a length of 1.5". This is bored through with a 0.335"...

    Sound Insulation Job on my 06 Coupe

    Anyone looking for some peace and quiet. Tried to send a detail on my efforts, but the damn 'puter made it disappear. Botttom line, I used refrigeration foam on the inside chassis behind all the plastic panels and I can now talk and hear on my phone. It is significantly more effective than doing...

    Identity of 12 pin connector alongside the right rear speaker ?

    Somehow after pulling the seat to install the cruise, I decided to pull some panels to insulate sound behind the seats and trunk on the 06 coupe. Any clue to what this connector is for?

    Is there a 3 volt source in the car?

    I'd like to run power to the Snake Oyl cruise control instead of the battery that came with the control. I hear that the battery needs replacing every few months.

    Warranty Issues update

    All, I seldom post 'cuz I figure my son Jon probably makes up for it with his "objective views":bonker:. Last time I was on I was asking about issues with the battery drain. I finally got around to taking it in to the dealer (unmentionable) and they found the amplifier was cooked. Apparently...

    Issues with starting and stereo

    All, Looking for some input on what may the solution to this. I've had intermittent failure of the stereo kicking out, specifically the sound: the screen display stays on. Ultimately found that the battery was the culprit and a new one was replaced. That was my first go-around. The battery died...

    Starting and Radio Issues

    Here's my first dilema with the '05. It's got almost 19K miles. Now, that's because Jon told me he'd take it away if I didn't drive it (not a real big armtwisting here)! In any case, here's the gremlin. Last week I noticed that the radio just stopped playing. Like Jon, I like to blow my hearing...

    Tires

    Hello, Wanted to ask about getting some new shoes for the '05. Jon didn't tell me that they wear out too fast. I've got 12.5Kmiles and the rears are down to nothing. Any suggestions. Thanks, Max

    Exhausting

    As a first post, please excuse my newbie question. Besides the obvious loss in the signature sound, what views are there on exhausting out the rear instead of the sidepipes, or having both tied together for more flow. I already posed this to Jon and he said no. In case Jon sees this, there are...
