Dodge

Assuming it's properly maintained, there's no reason it shouldn't last 200,000 miles or so before any major service

it is next to the thermostat housing under the alternator

Open the door, next to the door latch is a little slider. You use a key to slide the Child lock in the direction opposite where it is now.

It's possible that the motor is old and worn or the blower fan is partially caked with dust. If the vehicle has a cabin filter, it's also possible that the filter needs to be replaced.

Yes

You can't, because it is illegal. well that isn't entirly true you can but you wont have a speedometer either.thats all I have to say.

The sensor will be mounted to the side of the intake manifold below the PCV valve

Chrysler used so many General Lee's that they almost made the '68 and '69 chargers extinct , most General Lee's were automatic.

Possible causes for a shake include a bad tire, bent rim, loose lug nuts, or an out of balance tire and wheel.

depends on gas or diesel i think i would want the 3.73 in the diesel for more rpm vs speed out of the low rpm cummins plus has plenty of power. 4.10 with the gas for heavy loads.

Hemispherical combustion chamber.

A dead battery would not cause an engine to seize

The 8.4 Liter V10 puts out 600 H.P. and 560 ft/lbs of torque.

Let me first say this: There is a lot of conflicting answers on the internet as to whether a 2006 dodge stratus is an interference motor so I had to write this. I just got a call from my trusted mechanic after my timing belt broke on my 2006 2.4 litre, 4 cylinder, 16 valve engine and there WAS damage to the valves. I happen to be going 60 mile per hour when the belt gave. He said that if I was just idling or going slow I might of had a chance at not damaging the valves (I think this is where the confusion stems from)

So, sorry to deliver the bad news. I was hoping and praying that the people who said that this was an interference motor were wrong but I can tell you they are not.

If you have a good mechanic in the family you might be in luck because this is a LABOR intensive job. If you have someone do it make sure they change the water pump while they are already in there.

If you are going to go to the dealer I can tell you that you are looking at about a $2,500-3000 job all said and done. They cant determine if there is valve damage until the timing belt is back on, so that is $1,200 to find out. Then if there is valve damage (which there probably is if you were driving fast) now your looking at another $1,500 (ball park). As soon as I heard that I had to shell out $1,200 with no guarantees I took it to my mechanic and got the answer (the only reason I went to the dealer is because I was out of state when that happened and I did not want to tow it that far, I then rented a uhaul tow to take it to my mechanic after I realized the kind of numbers I would have to contend with)

Bottom line: If your stratus has over a 130k miles on it with very limited options its probably not even worth it if you have the dealer fix it. My 2cents. It is worth noting that is specifically for a 2006 dodge stratus with 2.4 litre engine, 4 cylinders and 16 valves. I know there is a v6 version out there which may be different. For people who have the v6 you MIGHT be in luck because I heard that they might have done something different with the larger engines (not sure), good luck and hopefully it turns out better for you than the people who bought the 4 cylinder version.

Had the same problem. Though the handle breaks easily, it may just be that the latch is rusted shut. Make sure you're using that lever to hook and pull the latch like you normally would, (you may have to hold it with two hands) but have somoene bang the hood of your car at the front near the center as you're doing it, it may pop open. I've had problems on my 89 having some rust that has that effect.

depends where its smoking from, tail pipe? most likely piston rings causing it to burn oil, or bad head gasket burning anti freeze. could b other things too but not as likely, valve guides or seals...

The 545rfe from behind a 4.7 or 5.7 will not work in a 1999 Ram.

approx 9 quarts

Currently it would be the ram5500 4x4. May be this is the production model. But the biggest ever Dodge in the world is lying in an Exhibition hall in Abu Dhabi, in the UAE. It is more than 5m high with matching proportions. To sea a link, google for Rainbow Sheikh!

Look through the windshield on the drivers side of the car. It will be a little piece of stamped metal connected to the dashboard. There should also be one on the drivers door. Open the door and look near the latch. There should be a sticker and it may contain the VIN.

Originaly posted as 3700 limited production line but after an overwhelming order demand came with the release they increased the production to 5000. whether or not all 5000 were actually made is another question but the top off limit was raised to 5000.

If a 2003 Dodge Diesel has a bad fuel pump, the vehicle will probably not start. If it does start, it will not run very long before it starts to spit and sputter and may even stall.

Inside the transmission, on top of the valve body.

Tighten the cylinder head bolts in three steps using the sequence provided : ==== ==== # Step 1- Snug tighten M12 cylinder head bolts, in sequence, to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) and M8 bolts to 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) torque. # Step 2- Tighten M12 cylinder head bolts, in sequence, to 54 N·m (40 ft. lbs.) and verify M8 bolts to 20 N·m (15 ft. lbs.) torque. # Step 3- Turn M12 cylinder head bolts, in sequence, 90 degrees and tighten M8 bolts to 34 N·m (25 ft. lbs.) torque.
