#4890 of 4893 The President-Elect's car by irismg Nov 22, 2008 (6:36 pm)
I read where the President-Elect had to give up his Chrysler 300C in favor of a hybrid SUV due to pressure from the environmentalists. Does anyone know what color and model 300 he had? Thanks Replies to this message: coolrunning (Jun 14, 2009 10:28 pm)
#4891 of 4893 Sunroof Drain Blocked by bowlee May 18, 2009 (1:30 pm)
Now have 40K on my 300C and no major issues! However, it has been raining a lot recently and water started dripping down the back grab handles and the passenger side seat belt holder. When you open the sunroof, you'll see two drain holes - one in each front corner (hard to see, but they are there). These holes drain down through the door frame (between the front door and the fender) - you can see the drain tubes by opening the front doors and looking for the small 1/4" tube that sticks out about 1 1/2" long about half way down the door frame. (Becareful not to move the door and trap your fingers as you look!) The problem is that the insulation in the front fenders can move and block the drain tube that empties out between the front door and the fender. I found my problem by trying to blow a blast of air through the drain hole and it must have dislodged the blocking insulation and I saw water dripping out. I checked the other side of the car and pushed the insulation slightly towards the fender and water came pouring out. Hence - check this insulation if you are having this problem.

Replying to: nvbanker (Sep 09, 2008 9:23 am)    I have used K & N filters for all my vehicles and NEVER had a problem with them period. Carbs or Injected, every one performed flawlessly and every one did increase horsepower and mileage. I have recommended these for years to anyone who will listen and THEY have had flawless performance. My latest is a 2008 Honda Ridgeline, 15.5 mpg to 19.9 in town, (63 Impala 383 Demon Carb, 2000 Mercury Sable injected, 2003 GMC Sonoma injected, 2008 American Iron Horse carb. also have them)    I agree that the cleaning may be an issue as folks are cleaning them way :too often. Once every 6 months, "clean and dry it completely, oil it lightly" then put it in. The thing will last 1,000,000 miles. My friend Dock just put one in his 300 and it's doing great...better mileage and more power.    Thanks for the opportunity to share info and experience. My personal experience with Nissan is .....Well (I am not allowed to use bad language) not very good. My Nissan Maxima SE 2001 (traded for the Honda) was a sensor/EGR valve eater with paper elements or K&N, premium fuel an all.

Replying to: irismg (Nov 22, 2008 6:36 pm) It must have been yellow! If all it takes is a bunch of whiners to make him change vehicles, who else is going to manipulate him? He has to be the first president to let a group of fanatics dictate what he should drive. Last time I checked, most presidents get driven around in a limo with lots of secret service protection anyway. Are those same "environmentalist" also concerned with the MPG rating of Air force One? The little photo-op in NYC was reported to cost about $200,000.00.
