#26 of 59 Re: Excellent FE, indeed... [discgolfer99] by xtec Jun 22, 2007 (3:00 pm)
Replying to: discgolfer99 (Jun 22, 2007 12:54 pm) I was dissapointed with the K&N,I read on other forums that they didn't work that good.I dropped almost 2mpgs with the K&N,plus the power.When I looked at the stock filter it said high flow,and its the same one for the Hemi,and you know they wouldn't put a junk filter in the Hemi.I bet you'll see A improvement with your MPG.I have a test spot on one of my roads,and thats how I knew i lost power,plus my mileage.I sent my filter back to K&N and told what I thought of their filter.At least I got a refund.I hope it works out for you,I'm happy with the stock filter.
#27 of 59 Oil and filter by xscout Sep 16, 2007 (9:59 am)
My wife just bought a 2007 Charger SXT and I was curious what type of oil and filter everyone thought was the best for this vehicle. I have been using the Purolator pure one filter and valvoline 10-40 synthetic mix oil in my Jeeps with the 4.0 L6. I haven't even read the manual yet as far as what they recommend.

Replying to: xscout (Sep 16, 2007 9:59 am) I purchase Quaker State Full Synthetic (10W30 is required for the 3.5L engine) and take it in to the dealer to change. Not sure who makes the Mopar oil filter but I have read that Wix is a good brand and Fram is one to avoid.

Replying to: adorunrunrun (Dec 02, 2007 1:12 pm) I hate to say this,but I think you got water in your intake and hydo locked your engine.This is when water gets into the cylinders and water cant compress so it locks up the engine ,which may have bent a rod.I wouldn't drive it because it may cause more damage.Get it towed and hope for the best.Good Luck.

#32 of 59 Re: Strange problem and cause by AFVet by afvet Jan 08, 2008 (3:49 pm)
A friend if mine retired and bought his company car, a 2006 Charger with the 2.7 v6 and 4 spd auto. A mechanic? told him that the 2.7 Chrysler v6 had an engine "blowup" problem caused by the coolant pump being located in the fuel tank and leaking coolant into the fuel, thereby ruining the engine. I have heard some off-the-wall things, but a coolant pump in the fuel tank?? Any of you fine fellers (or gals) heard about this one? Replies to this message: xtec (Jan 09, 2008 11:38 am)

Replying to: afvet (Jan 08, 2008 3:49 pm) I never heard that one,but the 2.7 has a history of sludge build up in their engine that will cause alot of engine problems.I read that the PVC system has a problem that cause the build up of sludge.The fuel pump is in the gas tank,but never heard of coolant in the tank,doesn't make sense.

#35 of 59 clicking in the engine by danb315 Jan 20, 2008 (9:40 am)
Has anyone ever heard a constant clicking in the engine while looking under the hood? I'm growing somewhat concerned. Replies to this message: xtec (Jan 21, 2008 2:42 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 26, 2008 12:31 pm) brianj3 (May 22, 2009 7:23 am)
