    Dodge Intrepid

    Anyone know much about Intrepids? I'm looking at a 98 ES. 3.2 V-6 Auto Stick, power everything. Really nice car. I need something else to drive, I'm keeping my Explorer but the upkeep and gas milage of my 92 with 185,000mi is getting pretty expensive when I'm on the road so much.

    Has anyone heard of an update or redesign to the wheel bearings on the early Explorers? Anything to reduce the frequency I have to repack these things? Last year I repacked them 4 times. I do drive a lot of miles and live in snow country. But man 4 times in one year seems a little...

    Here is an easy question. I have the electronic Tcase and I have no problems finding the fill plug, but where is the drain plug? In my repair manual they mention removing the drain plug to drain the case, but when looking at the case I can only find one plug, the fill plug. Anyone know. I'd...

    Odd Steering

    Ok this has been bothering me from the day I bought my truck. If you turn my steering wheel to the left, from center there is two and a half turns to lock.
