    yea the intake doesn't look too bad. I'm not sure what I have to disconnect or if it is more like a cover with the mechanical under it. kinda looks that way. someone gave me Chrysler coolant. 2 jugs. I did bleed the older coolant and clean the reservoir. used radiator flush and just shook it...

    Chrysler seems pretty adamant about using their transmission fluid in this transmission. Do you or anyone else know what would be an even better transmission fluid to use or at least equivalent?

    oh. I did get the beatle in that boat deal. I sold a boat to a guy up there and got him to throw the beetle in as part of the deal. So I kept the first tag that I registered if under and in Florida there's no front tags so I can just put anything I want on the front of it.

    No, I live in Florida so we get no salt on the roads here. I was just looking at the spark plugs and what might be involved in changing those. Looks like that might be a job in itself. For the most part I found Dodge is easy to work on it but this one may be the first that's not. This is a...

    yeah, I decided to modernize it. going to put a/c in, change to an alternator, killer stereo and lower the front give it a slight jacked up look. I always liked that on muscle cars. I definitely will document progress to you. I am now building a garage for it so, the body work can start. maybe a...

    thanks. I just went all around under the hood dabbing marvel mystery oil on bolts and any place showing any sign of rust. I had to lube the hood hinge and latch mechanism. . I have white Lithium grease spray. that should help the hinges. I see a lot of debris in the screen under the windshield...

    I was selling a boat and the guy buying it drives over in this beetle. well the thousand or so we were apart on the boat allowed me to get the bug in the deal. it had a huge hesitation. I put a weber 2bbl on and it runs a lot better but, I can't keep the dwell set and starting is difficult at...

    interesting. yeah, sort of does. I like the cargo space. somewhat non existan with 3rd row in use. BTW I just had 6 very large people in it for a shopping trip. a little crowded in the 3rd row but we made it. I generally plan to use the 3rd row down for cargo and sports equipment.

    sorry I gave no info. 72 1600 dp. I cleaned out all rust and fiberglassed the wheel wells and floor. pretty much eliminated the heater channels but left it so I could run heat out under the back seats. after all this I am putting pertonix electronic ignition on it and electric fuel pump. then...

    look what else I have. yeah I may take it to get alignment checked. that way they'll find all these "problems" and say they can't do the alignment until they fix them. at least I can look at the front end up on a rack instead of a floor jack. oh look what I am also working on. just about ready...

    yea I found out about the bumper to bumper. every problem is a $100 deductible. I already spent $200 on the "warranty" work. I can take it from here except the oil leak if they over tightened the filter. then I'll get an oil change and report the problem like I should have last time. can't nail...

    Hey maybe you can help me. I got a check engine light that points to O2 sensor. I suspect a small exhaust leak. probably at the Y-pipe junction or other connection. I'm going to smoke the tailpipe and see if that's the issue. but there is a clanking when I go over bumps. like if I drove it...

    I recently bought the '18 journey based on a few factors I was looking for. price was one. I got it with 69k miles for $11,300. the look and lines are really pleasant and I think it has a nice profile. better than the Durango to me. I also like the headlights better pre-2019. I did research...

    I thought with these 3.6 vvl engines you had to change the oil more frequently than 7K.

    yea or overtightened it. they had to do the a/c twice because they used a compressor from autozone because the warranty company tried to cut corners on costs. this means stuff got taken apart twice. after that job the belt started squeaking the next morning. I didn't mention it until I could...
