#61 of 26363 Odor From The Engine by radar77 Jan 20, 2001 (3:57 pm)
I picked up my new '01 300M, and soon noticed a smell like burnt oil coming through the HVAC. My dealer says it's stickers on the exhaust and should go away after a thousand miles. Anyone else experience this?

They have built date stickers on the exhaust parts and all the body panels. I would peel them off, they will burn off in a week, but I didn't want the smell that long. You would think that this is part of the dealer prep.(at least it should be)

Never had that. Maybe I just didn't notice.
#66 of 26363 Trip by fuzzywuzzy Jan 21, 2001 (1:32 pm)
This weekend I went on a trip to the other side of Fl. The west coast side, by Fort Myers. First time driving down Aligator ally(I75). I must say this road was made for fast cars. Imagine a road where it's nothing but straight road for 100 miles. No hills, only a few curves, no traffic, no cops, just the road. This is what Aligator ally is. What a road. The 300M came alive, & bit some mustangs, & the slammed hona civic. Sure they kept up untill 115, but at 120, & beyond they were no match The 300M is a very stable car at those speeds.   Note-I don't condone driving at those speeds unless you have a note form the shrink, & own a 300M

Well I just had to try out the top end on the way home from work Friday. It was fun until the speed limiter kicked in Sure had a lot more power to spare when it shut down. And of course all I could think about was why oh why didn't I get the php model?   Keith

Out here in the west, we have a lot roads like that, I5 goes for about 500 miles with about 2 turns. I10 and I8 are almost as good (only 300 miles with no turns) I do agree that this car was made for the autobaun. Can you say zoom, zoom?

Glad you're back Dude, we've missed you and yer 'brudders' at the Wednesday evening chats.   Thanks for asking about the club. We are still scrambling to get the new web site ready for launch. DrPixel is coding his little heart out to get us ready. We have officially incorporated as a non-profit organization and have adopted the assumed name of 'Chrysler 300M Enthusiasts Club.' We've elected officers and have just a few loose ends to tie up before we're ready to go. So keep yer ear to the ground, we'll be there soon. I'll be doing a mass e-mailing to introduce the club as soon as we're ready.   Don't forget the new domain name http://www.300mclub.org. That takes you to the old site right now, but the URL will be the same for the new site.   See ya' on Wednesday evening. Would you like to conjure up a theme for this weeks chat??
#70 of 26363 Attention all 255 tires owners by fuzzywuzzy Jan 22, 2001 (11:00 am)
As you know, I am replcing my Dunlop tires, with something other then dunlops. Beacuse of the traveling I do, I need a all season tire. Problem is I need a 245-45-18 tire. I have been unable to locate one. The closest I can find is a 255-45-18. Now, I really like Michelins. So I test fitted one on the 18 rim, & mounted it on the front of my 300M. The problesm is clearence at the tie rod end. I cannot get anything bigger then a flat ruler between the tire, & tie rod end. With the stock, or the other dunlop size, there is much more clearence then that. Do you guys who have 255's have the same clearence? I fitted it on the back, & it fits fine. I also turned the wheel side to side, & it doesn't appear to rub anywhere. The rims I have are car specific. Back spacing, bolt pattern, are the same as stock. But, I don't know if bumps will affect this. Thanks for the help.
