It has definitely been loved a while. The struts are not original. I'd hope it isn't them.

If it is something like that, any big deal to let it ride for a while? Wanting to get rid of the van in a few months anyway.

I have a 2015 Town & Country and sometimes under medium braking (or harder) there is a front end shimmy/shake sensation. Kind of like going over a washboard section of gravel/road. It isn't the brakes or rotors. The brake pedal is perfectly smooth and pads/rotors were all just replaced about...

Thank you. I wasn't sure if Felpro would be a good choice for this application or not. I may just do the felpro.

Any recommendations for the best valve cover gasket kit these days for the 3.6L? Mopar? Felpro? I'd really like to do this once and be done for at least another 125k+miles. Thanks.

It is time to replace the struts on my T&C. I am going to go with quick struts. I have two questions: I essentially have Carquest Premium, KYB, NAPA or Monroe to pick from. Any reason to choose one over the other? What else should be replaced at the same time? My shop said they do sway bar...

We have a winner. It was a clutch pedal mod meant to reduce the dead space of the clutch travel. Once it was removed, problem solved. The heat made things stretch just enough the spacer was preventing full clutch operation.

Dodge charger with the 3.6L.

I thought that too when hearing the original complaint but if it was getting too thin, I would expect everything to feel very notchy like it is a mechanical metal-to-metal feeling. It should feel harder not like a gummy/sticky feeling.

Do they make the Conti LX25 in your size? If so, my van does MUCH better on the LX25 than it did on the truecontact. Truecontact was a fine tire but the Chrysler T&C would break the grip on dry and wet starts all the time. No such issues with the LX25. First tire I have had on this van that...

seems backwards to me but maybe RL MTL-LV is worth a try at this point.

Ecogard is another option.

Sounds like starter heat soak, poor battery cables and vapor lock are items that need to be investigated further. Thanks everyone.

this is a new one to me.....Got a VW GTI 6spd MTX here with Redline MTL (15k miles on fluid ~3 years). When it has been around 95F lately, the shifting has gotten problematic. It doesn't feel like the fluid is getting to thin where you get a really notchy metal-on-metal type hard shift. When the...

Would priming longer before starting address a vapor lock situation?
