#81 of 150 Lifespan of a 5.7 Hemi?? by djdeez78 Dec 21, 2004 (11:06 pm)
Since most of the posters here have some sort of concern about their vehicles I wanted to ask this question. I have 3 month old C with about 8,000 miles. Drives me nuts that I have to put so many miles on this car, but work calls for it. I have a number of problems but I've been able to "bear" with them. Right hand pull, metallic popping or click every morning from inside the middle console or dash, rough idle, erractic shifting, wheels make a cracking sound before they get "warmed up," window makes a weird dragging sound when I roll them down automatically, all without any answers from the dealer...but anyways I was curious to know if anyone out there knows the lifespan of the engine??...i want to be able to drive this car as long as possible, but I also need to plan my future accordingly...if the engine is going to die before 100K, i'll probably need another car in 3 years, but is it the engine I should be worrying about or the transmission. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks    D
#82 of 150 My 300C - loving it!!! by foodybat Dec 30, 2004 (6:37 pm)
I've had my black 300C for about 4 months now... I have installed a new air intake (which I was told would increase my hp by 15-20), put on the bently mesh grill, racing pedals, and have new TSW wheels scheduled to be delivered in 1-2 weeks. What I want is to find the same style grill I have for the LOWER part, near the fog lights. Anyone know where to find this??? Oh, by the way, my car didn't come with the xenon headlights, so I got some aftermarket hyper blue headlights, and I they look spectacular at a FRACTION of the cost from the dealer. My intention is to also paint the brake calipers...and i'm thinking, but i'm not sure yet, to install the sports vents on the rear doors, wheel well trim, and maybe the rear deck (truck) trim. Any comments or advise on any of this? I'll be happy to email pics of my car to those who are interested. For those of you freaks like myself, I got myself for xmas a remote controlled 300C...and it RIPS!!! It was cheap, and it's a whole lotta fun....

Replying to: foodybat (Dec 30, 2004 6:37 pm) Where did you find the remote control 300C? I have a Vanilla 300C. Never thought of painting the brake calipers. The chrome around the wheel wells and trucks sounds like it might look good also. Replies to this message: foodybat (Dec 31, 2004 4:58 am)

Replying to: lenny (Dec 30, 2004 8:55 pm) Remote 300C - available in different colors can be found on ebay.... check it out http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2565&a- mp;item=5946269209&rd=1 It rips, has spinners, and is a whole bunch of fun. I'm painting the brake calipers because the wheels I ordered, 20" are TSW Thruxton, which has some space, so with the brake calipers so exposed, I figured painting them would be good. The chrome around the wheel wells should look good, but it is important to me to not go over the line & over do the accessories....so i'm still kinda on the fence about it....

Replying to: foodybat (Dec 30, 2004 6:37 pm) Foodybat: Check out the link in post 62 of this forum. You can find the inserts for the bumper you were looking for. Look at "Performance and Aftermarket parts" and then "Billet Horizontal Grille by Precision." Good Luck.

Replying to: roblaura (Feb 27, 2005 5:58 pm) Good day, folks!   For those of you not aware of one of the two least-expensive OEM parts suppliers on the web, I would suggest that you check out OEMDodgeparts.com (located in Bremerton, Washington). Pricing is about 30% under list. Dave, the parts manager is VERY responsive to questions. Mat, for example that was referenced above is only $51.75! Saving money is good - gives us a chance to buy more 'bling' stuff for our 300Cs with the same nickel!
