    A/C hoses?

    The bottom line is you need your AC system redone. You need to A. Take it to someone who knows what they are doing B Pay for it It's not rocket science. People can go back and forth on the internet for weeks or months about this and that but it isn't going to make your car cold inside.

    A/C hoses?

    Any place that does AC work can make them. Any mechanic that does AC has a hydra krimp in their tool box. I can make them. The crimp tool is $300. You can buy it and some shells and it's probably still cheaper than going somewhere. I make lines all the time. It's routine daily stuff. Call...

    Stuck thermostat?

    Go through everything, not just the pump. Check it all. If it hasn't been maintained well it may need more than one thing. Water pump, fan clutch, a flush. Gooped up radiator. Test your fan clutch. It's been hot in Florida and everywhere else. You need good airflow and coolant flow. If you...

    Rear leaf spring "tensioner"??

    I absolutely believe him. I know from years of dealing with these monstrosities and forgetting half of what I ever saw that Chrysler changed things all the time and their engineers were definitely not drug tested. Just when you think you've seen it all, something else comes along and tops it...

    Rear leaf spring "tensioner"??

    The ones built for export to New Guinea had a Beryllium loaded photon encabulator on both leaf springs. They did this for 3 years. If the threaded 8/16" fitting for the sensor breaks, you will have to be tested for HIV, Measles, Rabies, Rickets and about 35 other things.

    LA 360 Driver side motor mount

    I use AC compressor spacers. I have tons of them. Chrysler had to do everything extra weird. That's just their culture. Like the 426 Hemi engine mounts and the intake manifold heater tube crap.

    Can this be done ?

    A long time ago I was bored and cut them all open. It looked to me like the Wix and Napa gold were identical. The Fram was pretty bad. Paper that just falls apart. Mobil 1 was good. Most were. Baldwins are good. Actually, I would use most of them but the Fram. Never did cut a Purolator open. I...

    Can this be done ?

    I'm not making fun of you, I am making fun of the internet. They will absolutely melt down over this in some places. Or the "wrong" hose clamps. Or flex tubes etc.

    I'm surprised they aren't forming up at your gates with torches and pitchforks over that orange oil filter.

    Worth it to fix?

    I've sleeved a lot of engines. Just know that it has gone up. It's going to be expensive and there is a lot of machining involved. The block you have had better be worth it. They used to be cheap to sleeve, and by cheap I mean like $100 a cylinder PLUS the machine work. Not now. Sleeving was a...
