TG, I think he's saying cleaning the tubes fixed his high idle problem.

It's not easy to tell exactly what he was trying to say.

2002 F150 A/C pulley siezed... now what?

X

XSleeper on Feb 13, 2014

So today my truck was running noisier than usual. By the time I got home it was really making some bad grinding noises. So I figured it was one of the pulleys. Put the wrench on the tensioner pulley to give the belt some slack and turned each one by hand. When I got to the A/C compressor, it was obviously the culprit, since I could hardly turn it by hand at all. So what are my options? Can the pulley be removed from the A/C compressor without disconnecting it from the lines? I am guessing not. And if I need a new A/C compressor I am guessing it means changing the A/C system completely over to the new stuff? Or maybe can I get a used A/C compressor and pulley from a junkyard? My A/C hasn't worked for the past couple years anyway so it's no big loss. I just need a pulley that works! Help!Read More

Changing the Oil Filter on a Dodge Ram

W

WML13 on Feb 23, 2014

My newest Chrysler Product is a 2012 Dodge Ram 4X4 Hemi. I got 4 free oil changes with the new purchase but now it's time for me to get under the truck. I'm no novice to changing oil in cars and trucks, but when I started looking for the oil filter on this Hemi, I was surprised at how well it was hidden. I got access to it by jacking up the front of the truck slightly, and instead of coming up from the bottom of the filter as I have to do with my 3.5 V6. I had to reach over the front frame and grab the filter. Two things bothered me during this process. First, was that I removed the filter with my hand, no wrench, no effort. Second, was that maybe there was an easier way. Since the instructions on the filter (Chryslers Filter bought from the dealer) say to tighten one full turn after contacting the base, when I installed the new filter I did that. (I have followed those instructions on my other cars and have never had a problem) An internet search engine said to "tighten this filter by hand only don't use a wrench" (that more torque than that will strip threads) so I Thought I would put this out there. Another issue was that The owners manual has oil changes recommended every 8000 miles. I probably do overkill on my engines, but I like to change oil every 3000. (Over the years, I have had to throw cars away but they always ran, and never burned oil) Another internet advisor said this engine's oil SHOULD be changed every 3000 miles. I would appreciate any comments on the above process!Read More
