Finally after 32 years the pass side wiper stopped wiping. The bushing failed and the arm connecting the pass side to the drivers side dropped down. The entire wiper system is original to the car. I watched a video and searched the forum and have a 1988 FSM. The nut on the crank arm turns in...

Anyone know what product would fit well for the glass run channel seal on my 1988 Chrysler 5th? I am just going to replace the drivers side for now. I've seen different sizes and some universal ones. Thanks.

I have waited 3 years to get whitewalls on the 5th. The wait was worth it, I think they look great on the car. What was even better is that this is the first time I have mounted and balanced tires myself at home. I know now how off spin balancing can be when kids are doing the work, and the...

Well the 5th won't leave the garage on its own power. It started fine yesterday and I got out of the car for a second, and it idled slow enough and died. I tried a restart and it was completely flooded. I let it sit for a whole day. I came back today and it still acts and smells flooded when I...

So I sent one of the guys to rent a 4 door car for a 400 mile round trip work function, ( boring meeting ) ! I said don't bring a red car back as they get a closer look from the friendly officers. So back he comes with a 2016 red Jeep Cherokee 4 door. He was all excited he got the SUV for the...

So I guess it is Ok to live under a rock most of the time, but every now and then coming out can just be fun. I was reading about different brands of batteries for one of my cars. I ended up on some BMW site discussing the batteries I was interested in. As I'm reading along I am wondering what...

It is interesting that in boxing you can pick and choose your opponents to keep your "champ" status. Can you imagine this in Football or Basketball etc. Ali acts intimidated in this video and for good reason. A 7'2" Wilt Chamberlain is being presented as an opponent. Wilt is super quick, harder...

I just got more validation not to buy a newer car if at all possible. A casual friend told me today they got stuck 100 miles from home because their 2010 car would not accelerate over 30 miles an hour. They had to limp 80 of the miles to get to a mechanic. I start thinking what could be the...

My a/c system is all new less the evaporator. It is fully charged and converted to R134. When I press max the compressor turns on and the cooling starts. It cycles on and off but the vent temp only reaches 48 degrees F. When I bypass the cycling switch and the compressor runs continuously I get...

So I just got my brand new Dorman 747-411 power window gear kit for my 1988 5th ave. The installation went fine. I'm glad I tested the new kit out for about 6 cycles up and down before completely putting the door panel on. At the last cycle the window wouldn't go up all the way and it eventually...

Does anyone have the Dorman part number for the power window lift plugs for a 1988 Chrysler 5th Ave. My drivers side front window drops about a 1/2" when I drive. It goes back up with the switch but will drop again. How difficult are they to put in ?

My 1988 Fifth ave 318 V-8 was bought new in Florida. It was then moved to California. The engine computer was changed and a #9913 ( California emissions ) unit was put on. I am thinking it had the #9813 on it when the car was new. Am I correct ? What is the difference in operation between the 2...

Has anyone added a wireless remote control with key fob for power door locks and interior lights on a 1988 Fifth ? What kind did you use ? Any installation advice would also be appreciated. Thanks.

The front end of my 1988 Fifth has a loud squeak/creaking sound. When I have the hood open and I am bouncing the front end up and down it is definitely on the passenger side. The drivers side is quiet. Anyone have any idea what to look for ? Is there a place I need to lube that I am missing ...

My 1988 5th Ave FSM says the drivers side power seat is 6 way adjustable, and the passenger power seat is 4 way adjustable. Do all of the years for passenger power seats come in 4 way or were some years 6 way. Thanks for any help.

I think I need to do a rear axle gear oil change. 1988 5th ave 32,000 original miles with the original rear axle oil. The rear axle oil is full with no drips, just a little sweating.

My 1988 Chrysler 5th ave has had some loss of vacuum to the HVAC system upon acceleration, resulting in very low airflow from the panel vents, and then letting off the gas the vent air returns to normal. I used a simple fix for this and so far it is working for in town and some highway driving...
