#1021 of 1087 Re: Help! SXT vs. SRT [batista] by xtec May 10, 2007 (9:56 pm)
Replying to: batista (May 10, 2007 8:08 pm) I just thought of some other things to check.I find myself sometimes getting in my car,and my foot will hit the parking brake pedal.When I pull on the parking brake handle,I will see the pedal move up just a little bit.So check that out.And it could be one of the calibers is sticking and when it sets, the piston pushes the pads against the rotors,then when you drive,hit the brakes,the caliber starts working.Im trying to cover all possibilities,thanks for the compliment on my car.I'v been driving Mopars for 37 years,and the Charger(300) is the Best cars Chrysler made.Thats why it hard to figure out why Chrysler in trouble..

Replying to: xtec (May 10, 2007 9:10 pm) Thank you for your ideas. My parking brake sometimes sticks as well. Occasionally I pull on the release handle but it only comes up half-way until I press the pedel and release again.   I checked forums and googled it and the only thing that came up was differential mount bushings and pinion seal. I will take it in eventually but hate the fact that my dealership is so far away and it only happens a couple of times a day. That means I pay for a car rental for 2 days and the incovenience.
#1023 of 1087 Did I really see this....? by wwest May 14, 2007 (9:05 am)
Dodge Charger SRT-8 TV commercial that touted the 425HP HEMI engine but then popped the hood to show a "cross", East-to-West, mounted V8 engine.   To me East-to-West meant FWD and I could not reconcile 425HP at the front wheels.   Research indicated the Charger SRT-8 engine is actually North-to-South and RWD just as it should be.   So, did I really see what I remember seeing?   Somebody screwed up?

Replying to: wwest (May 14, 2007 9:05 am) I agree with everything you said except the part where East -West means FWD.I had two front wheel drive cars with north-south mountings.A 1994 Eagle Vision and 2002 Intrepid.

Replying to: xtec (May 14, 2007 3:07 pm) Note...   I did not say, conclude, that North-South would ALWAYS mean RWD, only that East-West always meant FWD... Replies to this message: xtec (May 14, 2007 8:56 pm) wwest (May 15, 2007 7:29 am)

Replying to: wwest (May 14, 2007 3:56 pm) What I'm getting from your post is that you are saying all FWD have East-West mounting and I'm saying they don't. Replies to this message: wwest (May 15, 2007 7:29 am)

Replying to: xtec (May 14, 2007 8:56 pm) What I was trying to say, and maybe wasn't direct enough, is that East-West engine mounting almost ALWAYS means FWD or front torque biased AWD.

Replying to: wwest (May 14, 2007 9:05 am) Oh, I see...   "Research indicated the charger SRT-8 engine is actually North-to-South and RWD just as it should be."   It was to my intent to indicate that North/South engine mounting meant RWD "just as it should be". I was trying to say that with 425HP it was RWD just as it should be.   Also, I take the position that FWD or front biased AWD can be so hazardous in wintertime conditions that they should be outlawed.

Replying to: wwest (May 15, 2007 7:38 am) I have a Charger so I don't have FWD anymore.And I didn't see anything wrong with FWD car with a north south engine mounting.As far as outlawing FWD for winter driving is your opinion .The AWD would out drive my Charger in the snow there is no doubt.
