300M road trip

Written by: beach15 on Apr 13, 2001 05:05 PM

I just got back home after an emergency 7-hour road trip from Delaware to Pennsylvania in the M. This car is driving me absolutely nuts. Same rattles & creaks if not more. Beckoning road roar from the terribly loud badyears and their singing tread. I now am putting a bottle of aspirin in the console after the headache I got from riding in the damn car; smartly, I brought ... Read More...

ATF+3 vs ATF+4

Written by: 99_300m_ric_va on Apr 03, 2001 06:46 PM

Reviewing the 1999 Service Manual, Page 21-17, Fluid/Filter Service (Recommended), Step 5 reads as follows...."Pour four quarts of Mopar ATF+4 (Automatic Transmission Fluid) Type 9602 through the dipstick opening." Use of ATF+4 is again mentioned twice on page 21-18 and probably other places. ATF+3 is what my 1994 Dodge Ram takes. I was told by my trusted ... Read More...

The AmsOil warranty ... Read More...

and the answer is: the 300M is the latest of the letter series Chrysler 300's dating back to 1955. The first one was called the 300C with the 300B following in 1956. The first Chrylser 300 engine boasted 300 bhp ergo the 300 designation. The letters were advanced one letter for each year through 1965 with the 300L. Although they made non letter series Chrysler 300's ... Read More...

Extended Coverage

Written by: jgoodson on Feb 16, 2001 00:48 PM

I recently bought a 1999 300M with 28,000 miles so the extended warranty was important to me. I bought the 5 yr - 50,000 mile extended care warranty. I particularly wanted the Chrysler warranty because my greatest concern was breakdowns on the road. A cheaper warranty is not worth much if you break down on the road and not close to a service center that will accept ... Read More...
