    The water temp gauge is far from being accurate On my 00GTS, it's off by as much than 15* and as mentioned, it's not linear. I thought that my car was running too hot until I connected a scanner to the OBD2 port and verified the temperature. Luc.00GTS

    steering gear crossmember recall necessary ?

    If those engineers were so smart, may be a recall would not have been necessary:dunno: in the first place? DC define the problem as resulting from: "agressive driving such as racing" Notice that Mike said that: " the car is never driven hard" Therefore my comment that he don't need it. As for my...

    steering gear crossmember recall necessary ?

    If you don't track your car or run race/slick tires on it, you don't need too. On mine, I decided not to do it but, I got all the parts ( for free) for the next owner ( after I'm gone) to do it if he want too. Being a recall Dodge has to do it for free with no time limitation ( could be 50 years...

    B&W GTS at BJ today

    What i did notice is how the auctionner was spending a lot more time and effort on some cars ( or owners) than others , going so far as to stop the bidding process when there was no higher bidder ( instead of calling it sold) in order to give some time for some BJ and/or VIP peoples to "hype"...

    Harbor Freight Float battery charger...I have a question.

    Hi Jim: With so many vehicles with different types and size of batteries on 24/7 float chargers, I did a lot of research to find out what is the best charging and float voltage for each type. For a regular lead flooded battery, the maximum voltage , not to exceed 48 hours is between 2.35 to...

    Harbor Freight Float battery charger...I have a question.

    I should add that the Deltran battery tender plus is also made in china.( at least from my web search) . I'm not saying that to put them down since the HB is also made in china, simply to point out that marketing has a lot more to do in pricing than just quality.

    Attention ACR owners

    Softer springs will compress more under the static weight of the car and therefore, without readjusting the the ride height with the threaded collar on the shock body, ir's normal for the car to sit lower. Luc 00GTS

    Yes, you do, the fuel pump is inside the tank and to acces it and/or remove it on the Gen2 GTS you need to cut a big piece of of the panel that is the front part of the trunk. Dodge sell a "fuel tank closeout panel" that come with a template to cut the panel and then is pop-riveted/glued in...
