Dodge Magnum

The Dodge Magnum DRL (Daytime Running Lights) is not enabled for U.S. market as a standard delivery item. You can take your car to any DCX dealer and their service department can enable them using a computer called a Starscan. It is very simple to do and some will do it for free, but look in the $50.00 range as a fee.

A stock 1996 Impala SS came with a 5.7 Liter LT1 V8 - 260 horsepower and 330 lb.-ft. of torque. It ran a 15.4 second quarter mile, and did 0-60 mph in 7.2 seconds.

A stock 2005 Dodge Magnum RT comes with a 5.7-liter Hemi V8 - 340 horsepower and 390 lb.-ft. of torque. It runs a 14.7 second quarter mile and does 0-60 mph in 6.3 seconds.

The Dodge wins.

The Magnum R/T will win stock for stock every time. The Magnum R/T does NOT come with a manual transmission. Only a 5-speed automatic with the autostick function. True the Impalla can be modified and most probably are, but so can the Magnum, and then we aren't comparing apples to apples anymore. If you want to compare more similar vehicles, then lets compare a 1996 Impalla SS with a '98-'04 Dodge Dakota R/T. And yes, while the Dakota is a truck, the performance between the Impalla SS and the Dakota R/T is closer. Stock for stock, a race between an Impalla SS and a Dakota R/T will all depend on the driver. And the Dakota R/T takes to mods the same as the Impalla. Handling is also very similar.

True, the Magnum is faster. No doubt. It only took one of the big three 12 years to do so (first year of production on the Impala SS was 1994 and in their times and hp didnt change. Ive owned one of each and with a 12 year jump, don't you think that most Impala SS cars are hiding more under the hood - I'll auto cross a magnum to death in my 1996 Impala. And, to date I only have about 12K invested including purchase price(used. No I didnt wreck the 94 and 95. I sold them to friends.

The Magnum has 3 trim levels, the R/T is faster but the other 2 are not.

The Chevy can make almost as much power with intake and exhaust mods and 1.6 roller rockers. It can also be faster ( than stock ) with a different axle ratio. However, the dodge has a 5 speed tranny and it also weighs slighty less. Nevertheless, the Chevy is much cheaper even with mods and the overall performance can be made comparable to the dodge. I won't sell my 95 Lt-1 Chevy caprice wagon and I don't like the windows on the dodge.

The Vette will smoke the Magnum<----The Viper SRT-10 will smoke the Vette

I am sorry you guys do not own a Magnum. Just sit inside the car and enjoy the wonderful ride and trim. It is truly a luxury car/

Depends a bit on who is driving

1. open trunk
2. remove floor boards ( 2 layers)
3. you will see the battery on right side near the spare wheel
4. loosen ground wire clamp (black wire) and remove it first from battery post
5. disconnect red wire
6. replace battery, secure it and connect RED wire first
7. connect black wire

The heater is leaking coolant.

Not without modification

Under the hood there are positive and negative jump start posts that are clearly labeled.

Give it to the professionals to do, it requires disassembling the air bag.

Yes its on the lower radiator hose on the driver side

0.045 in (1.14mm) gap

Not sure for 06,but the total for the three years was 3837.

the bolt pattern is 5x115mm I'm not sure if 5x114.3 will fit on or not. hope this helps

Turning on the headlights with the engine turned of.

17 gallons

5x115 The number 5 refers to the number of bolts, the number 115 is in millimeters.

V6, 1-2-3-4-5-6

V8, 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2

If they are of a similar vintage, yes

An oxygen sensor is located in the exhaust where it analyses the gases going out the exhaust, and tells the computer what's going on...whether to add fuel, take away fuel or if there's a problem in the system. It's anyone's guess what is wrong since the car is new and could have a glitch or factory defect but it should be under warranty. Keep harassing the dealer to get it fixed.

You can not successfully clean an oxygen sensor. You need to replace it.

Air bags are typically designed to deploy in frontal and near-frontal collisions, which are comparable to hitting a solid barrier at approximately 8 to 14 miles per hour (mph). Roughly speaking, a 14 mph barrier collision is equivalent to striking a parked car of similar size across the full front of each vehicle at about 28 mph. This is because the parked car absorbs some of the energy of the crash, and is pushed by the striking vehicle. Unlike crash tests into barriers, real-world crashes typically occur at angles, and the crash forces usually are not evenly distributed across the front of the vehicle. Consequently, the relative speed between a striking and struck vehicle required to deploy the air bag in a real-world crash can be much higher than an equivalent barrier crash.

Because air bag sensors measure deceleration, vehicle speed and damage are not good indicators of whether or not an air bag should have deployed. Occasionally, air bags can deploy due to the vehicle

It depends on the year but when my had the 3.5 intreped and Lhs both were 95's the rating was 250. I think they are pretty good engines. If you mean in the newer magnums it is probly a little more since they (Dodge) have upgraded them.

I am wondering the same thing ....waiting to hear.

Not enough info to answer, please ask a new question and include the state you are in.

If you're talking about paying someone to do it.....it can be costly. It's a difficult and time consuming job. Just depends on what area you're in, who you have do it...etc.
