  1. Make sure your cooling fans are coming on.
  2. There is not one. Dealer only serviceable.

    Hello

    Welcome aboard! Check for open recalls (there are a few) and be prepared to replace brake components (pads/rotors) quote frequently, unless you replace with quality aftermarket parts. Our 09, 4 cylinder served us well for 3.5 years and @85,000 miles before we traded it on the 2013 with the 3.6. Only major repairs were replacing a bad alternator and had an intake runner valve failed. All covered by our extended warranty (minus $100). You did purchase an 8 year old used vehicle. Hopefully it was maintained well over its life. First thing I would do (which I always do when I buy a used vehicle), is catch up on all the maintenance items listed in the manual (unless you have documented evidence that recommended services were done)
  4. I agree. An engine designed to run on copper plugs does not perform as well with other types.
  5. It's listed on the under hood emissions sticker.
  6. Been driving for over 40 years without a backup camera. It's cool though. Rock on.
  7. Yep, we lived with the 4 cylinder for 3-1/2 years. It did it's job. We just came to understand it's limitations in the performance department. Never left us stranded though. I always get a chuckle out of people who decide AFTER the purchase that the engine is underpowered and start complaining about it. That's what test drives are for....lol... We got the 3.6 now. Will never go back. Good luck with yours!
  8. I'd say lay off washing the engine for awhile and let everything dry out. Also, inspect the wiring harness between the body and hatch. Wiring has been known to break inside it.
  9. Why are you only replacing the rears?

    Goodbye DJ!!

    That actually looks pretty awesome!
  11. Personally I have no idea. Factory service manual would come in handy in this situation.
  12. Your first step should be pulling a wheel off and inspecting the CV joint. Grease probably from a blown CV joint boot. Possible resulting in the squeaking noise as the joint has lost all its lubricant. Pull the wheel off and inspect the CV joint.
  13. No idea. Glad I don't have those useless features in mine.
  14. Not sure what you are asking....you want a nice copy of the logo in the first post, or a copy of something in the second post?
  15. I second detonation. Did it just start? Been doing it awhile? Possibly a bad tank of gas?

    Agree. For a Challenger or Charger? Yes. A normal Ram?? No way. Maybe if it was an SRT Ram.
