For any Chrysler/Dodge mechanics- I just changed the plugs on my 2006 Magnum. It was running rough when under acceleration, and I found a code for a misfire in cylinder #4, but no check engine light had come on. These 2 plugs are from the same cylinder, and both are damaged and oily. (Aside...

My 275 gallon heating oil tank started leaking on the floor. Just a few drops here and there. Tech came over and attached a magnetic “patch” and no drips since then. Oil company wants around $4K for R&R with new tank. 3 year warranty. Double wall tank is $500 more and has 30 year warranty...

I had the opportunity to check out a few Dodge dealerships in the past week. I was traveling more than usual, and whenever I see a car dealer, I slow down and look to see what they have. Sometimes pull into the lot and drive through. it seems no Dodge dealers have any cars. No Chrysler 300’s...

So my 2006 Magnum with 110,000 miles on it has a ticking sound. Having read the “dreaded Hemi Tick” articles and posts, I’m hoping it’s not a disintegrating valvetrain. I got out the long screwdriver ( aka mechanics stethoscope) and both valve covers are quiet. Same for alternator, pvc valve...

Looking for information. Some of the posts I have read here talk about a brand of oil being “thick for a 5W30”, or “Thin for a 5w30” is there a list of oils that tend to be on the thick or thin side of the specs for their weight? It might be helpful to have that as a reference. Thanks

I love motorcycles. I currently own 3 and would have more if I had the financial capacity to buy, store, and maintain them, my job is in the industry, and pre-Covid, I commuted to work and got a decent amount of riding in. Now, we are mostly WFH, so my riding is weekends and after work. Spring...

Went to super Walmart last night. Picked up 3 ST made in USA oil filters for my Dodge Magnum. So that is 3 years worth, starting in November of 2022. The last filter will not be used until November 2024. These filters are not wrapped at all, just loose in the box. Should I add a little oil and...
