Thanks! Hope you feel better! Regards

Hello benjamming, RMI-25 link http://www.qmimo.com/qmi_home_page_037.htm Regards,

Gots a used 99 Dodge Caravan L4 2.4L with a bit over 70k. From the service records I do not think the coolant had ever been changed. Per recommendation, I added 8oz of RMI-25 to the coolant. Before application, the coolant looked 'decent', overflow bucket was a little dirty and there were a few...

Heyas, Gots a new used car that I am in the process of cleaning up and preparing for my first extended oil drains. It is a 99 Dodge Caravan with the 2.4L 4-cyclinder. I bought it at around 65K as salvage from fleet services at the local humungous univeristy. I have the service records and...

Gary, Seven Mountains ACK! Actually, I not running down 322 E much these days. I belong to the 'Pittsburgh Firefighters Memorial Pipe Band' and end up travelling to Pittsburgh every week (about a 300mi round trip). Toss in a few parades out that way 2/3 of the year, solo competitions (4 this...

> You don't think that 6-9k on dino oil was extended? I think most modern engines filled with run-of-the-mill dino oils and driven by the average driver can easily make 7k-8k OCIs. conservatively. Of course exceptions for turbos, bad engine design, maniac drivers (you know who you are! ) and...

Thanks for all the quick responses! I fear I don't know too much about this engine or Dodge products - have several GMC before this one and it's been an education. The engine is rated at 150 hp and it seems to move along nicely but it certainly doesnt have much acceleration about 60 mph or...

59 Vetteman, Thanks! Got a quick reply from the email address. A nice suprise. It was the F-106 valve. Regards

I am hoping to get a Fumoto valve for my 99 Dodge Caravan 2.4L 4-cylinder. I am having a little trouble figuring out which valve I need from the supplied charts and could use some advice. I believe the valve I want is the F-106. Anyone know off hand if there is any problem or if there is a...

Thanks for the tips! I was thinking of running some sort of 'bypass' filter on the tranny but maybe an inline would suffice. It certainly would fit my budget right now. I'm a fan of the used car and try to keep up on what the pros and cons of the different models so I can work that into my...

I've heard horror stories about some of the 4 speed trannies with Dodge, are the 3 speeds abit wonky too? Regards

Heyas, My poor ol' Lesabre destroyed itself a month ago (think the main bearing siezed, maybe spun a rod bearing... sob...) and got myself a 99 Dodge Caravan 2.4L 4 cylinder - 3 speed tranny with 67K on the odometer. It was a fleet vehicle for the local giant university, doesnt seem to have...

Lo! I have a confirmed oil leak in my 95 Buick Lesabre 3800 V6 series 1. Car never used much oil (i.e. seemed to be full on the dipstick after 4k without requiring any makeup oil) and started using oil in the last few hundred miles before the end of the first rinse. I'm a few hundred miles from...

Thanks for the suggestions! The sound from the lifters has changed through the cleanup but all-in-all it has become quieter. The only engine phenomenon that seems to track with oil light seems to be idle speed. I thought I had heard whisperings about oil light problems resolving themselves...

Hello! I'm running a 95 Buick Lesabre with a Series 1 V6 3800 with about 175K on the odometer. Car generally runs well and is well maintained with regular oil changes every 3-4K. I ran a bottle of Auto-RX through it a few months ago and around 1600mi into the rinse phase the oil pressure light...
