I use 180 degree thermostat with Diablo tune with fans adjusted. Cruising highway I stay at 185 and off highway I stay under 190. Definitely a good combination. I have 2007 300c 5.7 with 170k. I changed Front suspension Motor mounts Alternator Water pump twice Drive shaft coupler Rear subframe bushings and rear control arms Basically rear suspension with axels O2 sensors There is more but all that in a 3yr span Mobile 1 5w20 every 4k She's so solid now
One of the things you want to do is have a good, knowledgeable, certified mechanic to check your car. I see too much DIY guessing online when it comes to car owners and throwing parts at problems. I wish I still had the paperwork from years ago of having this resolved on my 2005 Chrysler, but it was not the strut mounts nor struts themselves. It was another hardware component in the lower front-end suspension. Also, when you take it to a knowledgeable Certified mechanic to check the front end. Don't make suggestions to the mechanic as to what you think it is. Just let them thoroughly check it.
Good vid bro, some things to look out for, those halos are friggin badass, I need some asap, Probably already sorted but that front right bumper has one bolt right on the end, undo that and realign then tighten, mine was the same coz the tab the bolt goes through was bent, Awesome car bro 300GANG💪
I have a 08 with 120k so far the issues I’ve had is the front control arms and tie rods. Routine engine maintenance, misfires changed spark plugs. Now i have to do coils and maybe injectors. Other than that can is a tank
Very informative thank you. Could you share part names or links to the transmission components you mentioned? The shifter and the sensor seal? Recently bought a 300C 3.0 CRD and it's such a lovely car. Feels like driving around in a bank vault.
I have the Chrysler 300 C 2007. I have owned mine for almost 7 years and bought it used. I have had to replace ALL my door handles bc they just don't hold well (also have 3 rough boys). In this last year though I have had to replace my water pump, radiator, some sensors, and the black plastic pieces under the front end you showed. That side you say you have the gap is where my bumper refuses to stay in place. Great car though. I fell asleep at the wheel on the highway and hit a concrete median and it held solid with just a popped tire and a paint chip. Love the video.
Good information!!! Questions I’ve been hearing a sloshing sound coming from the dashboard. It happens when I first turn the vehicle in the morning or when I’ve been driving for an Hr and I turn off vehicle I hear sloshing sound coming from the dashboard. I am hoping is not the evaporator going bad. The ac is working fine but I don’t see water coming out from the ac drainage. Maybe the ac drainage is clog. Any pointers will be much appreciated.
Great video bro I have had the first problem with my Magnum SXT 3.5 for sure and the last one. Knock on wood I haven't had transmission problem yet. Keep doing your thing 💪💪 it bro
what tires are u running, im running the firestone firehawk wide oval as in 18s.. they are a little noisy on the highway but the car handles well with them in turns, and grip the road well.
one of my my rear fender skirts are loose, and flutter around sometimes making noise, the skirts are held in with push plugs,., Im thinking of removing the loose push plugs, and try new ones or put a screw in there. if u start hearing noise from the back, check the fender skirts first. the only other thing that went bad so far on my 06 is the hood struts went flat.. they are easy to change and not expensive.. 25 bucks for the set. also do you know if the car has a cabin filter for the AC?
What is that black piece that rips up around the front end you showed? You called it the front suspention but it wasnt the same thing I was thinking about
Parking brake (E-Brake) can become a major issue if not fixed. It could actually lock up your rear wheels at any given point if the internal components come apart inside the drums.....
TWICE MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE SHIT OUT!! I've got something going on with my transmission right now, too. It could be a sensor, a seal, or whatever. I don't know. Haven't had time to put it in the shop.
thanks for pointing out these things i just got a 300 and now i know what to keep my eye on. those headlights are sick (in single color mode not rainbows lol) quick piece of advice, u gotta cut / edit your video down to get to the topic of the video sooner, then giving like a 2 or 3 word explaination of what eachg issue is like one door handle, two parking brake, three short runner valve, etc... cuz this is a good video but requires patience . basically just go thru it and edit out any time you say a filler word 'um' or 'uh' anything like that, edit out any time you repeat something you already explained good, make sure the pacing of the first 10-20 seconds is muuuch faster to let us the viewers know if these 4 issues are things we are interested in also. or at the very minimum, u could skip the edits i suggested and simply put like an index in the description with timestamps. like 00:01 - intro , 00:35 backstory, 01:41 issue #1 , 02:67 issue #2, etc 35k views is a LOT for a diy car advice video.. i guarantee u could 10x those views if u whittle it down a little
235768 miles and still going great 2006 300c, original owner, had the stuck shifter, out of the four you listed. #4 are the pins that hold the panels together are stretched, easy to replace.
@@supersayin1 yes its worth it......there is a cable connecting the shifter, you have to move it sideways , that should enable you to shift, but only once. Its an easy fix, had the dealer fix it.
As for suspension, if you want it to last, absolutely replace all bushings with polyurethane bushings. I've never had an issue since. Don't know if this is common, but the ignition switch goes bad on keyless entry where you go to start and nothing till you keep trying till it does connect and start. Recall on the passenger air bag system also. Can cause death if not fixed.
2008 300c heritage 5.7 w/100K miles, the car is beautiful, spent most it's life in Arizona and garaged. Still looks new... I only hear it when it is warm outside, but it's a small rubbing when going slow to a small clunk when going faster (front right). Time to change some bushings I suppose. Knew it was coming. Thanks for the video.
Can you help me and tell me what to do because I pushed the trunk button I hear the noise but it still won't open I went inside the trunk from the inside of the car and pulled the release cord and it still won't open can you help me please
Recently replaced the ignition switch. Turns out if someone turns the key 🔑 TOO HARD it will break the pot metal switch inside the ignition switch that turns the switch on the end of it. (Ignition, start, accessory switch.) Sometimes the broken pot metal can interfere with the locking mechanism and keyless entry if severely damaged.
I have a 2013 300c with the 5.7 and I'm on my second engine. Still say the car is dependable though cause when I say I drive mine, I mean I DRIVE it. I've done quite a few upgrades to it. Full exhaust long tube JBAs 90 mm throttle body bigger injectors cam and a full tune and the rear end out of a scat pack and it's the funnest car I've ever owned. Also just recently started hearing that front end noise.
If the car gets stuck in park pop that change holder out & theres a red button on the side to release it out of park i broke my whole gear box before i figured that out😢( I've been looking for those rims for the longest)
The 2.7 liter engine after so many miles or what have you , it tends to tick and rattle , I just got an 06 from a guy and I found it to have this tick and rattle , now I've had a couple others but the one I had before this one did the same tick and rattle sound like rocker arms and lifters , I don't know how the guy ran the car , but an issue I'm having whit it , second time different car , but same year model of car
Found also recently that the ecm is common to fail in my 2006 300 touring. Finding an ECM at an exceptional reasonable price is impossible cause the new one has to be programmed for the specific car. Additional $400- $600 programming fee.
If it's leaking inside your car on the floor it'll probably be your heater core or heater core hose. That's usually what it is if it's leaking inside on your floor.
How can u blow up a engine in a Chrysler????? I flow it everyday and my shit has 197k miles with a good oil change I feel like no one check there oil and shit and just start and go
I’ve had one for 8 months 06 is German engineering so it’s different but reliable just gotta take care of her and don’t blow the head gaskets like I did or u gonna be out 1300
@@89nx26 Most are. My 07 is running good but only had it since last June and already fixed: Oil filter, motor mounts, and alternator. All were $500 to $800 fixes. Hemi’s are fun but I think there’s a lot of kick backs.
I bought mine in 2016 (2007 Limited 3.5L no Hemi), and since then, the transmission is the big one. They just didn't build it to support the size of the car, I guess. 2 to 3 thousand something dollars. Other than that, you just gotta be one of those guys to kind of baby these cars if u want it to be sturdy & reliable, and it will be. Little things will break no matter what, but the other major things for me to include, along with the tranny, like... engine parts (note its poorly designed engine rocker arms), timing belt, and front-end suspension should honestly run you a little under a thousand every year for any of these kind of cars. Those 4 things I mentioned are very common problems (or just weird maintenance, in the timing belt's case) for the 1st generation Chrysler 300's. I've had mine for 7 years, so the less than $7,000 I've personally spent on mine, had included routine maintenance plus radiator replacement, a new starter motor, broken alternator, etc. He's right when he says these are reliable and dependable, but that's if you treat it gently and maintain it right: Which is not everybody's thing. I love this model and I love babying a favorite car, so it's my thing. Most people's thing is treat it bad and it will still treat you good, like an old Toyota or Honda. I've had an old Toyota Camry and and a Honda Accord. Yes, they were a bit more dependable than the 300 I now adore, but not impressively so. ⚜️
05 300c 5.7 Hemi Bought with 220k miles I had coolant in the oil wasn’t too bad (yet) So I changed the - left and right head gaskets and pcv valve - Shocks - Struts - Front End - Spark Plugs - Brakes - Oil - Coolant Flush - Oil Pressure Sensor - Coolant Sensor - Inside Mirror Clamps - Sway Bar Bushings - Wheel Alignment - Headlight and Fog detailer - A/C Fixed ( was blowing on one side ) - Change the Heater T Hose Now I just need 4 new tires 🤟🏾 Make Sure To Care For Your Hemi This is an easy car to take car of an it last for a longggggggg time
Love these 300 models i bought one 2007 srt8 deisgn as my first car young sadly it broke down very shortly and had to get rid of it would recomend but not as first car as u will need a backup incase something breaks while its at the shop
@@frederickorcutt9112 I have to admit that just having race bullets is a bit loud. A pair of flowmaster outlaws or leaving the rear resonators would be nicer, but I'm liking the race bullets personally
@@mrkojak-ci1zm Thanks for the reply. My brother cherry bombs everything he buys and it's usually super droney and loud. Just cutting out the suitcase barely added any drone and people I've driven by that I know say it sounds nice as is. I did look at some magnaflows but am putting off doing it until next year because of the money. Just did the drivers CV axle, both front wheel bearings and all driver front suspension except for shocks. That hit my wallet pretty hard! haha
@@frederickorcutt9112 no problem man. Yeah if you want to keep it manageable I'd keep the resonators. Luck to you in your repairs. I haven't had to do anything on mine yet except the exhaust change. I have around a 100k miles to make decisions. Thinking about keeping the 5.7 block, adding 6.4 intake &heads, cam, throttle body and seeing how that goes.
@@mrkojak-ci1zm I've done a bit on it. Water pump/belt/alternator was the first thing. Had to do it in January, outside, in PA. It was so cold it took me a whole week to get it done because of having to thaw my hands so much. 😂 Did the front grille for fun and then had to do the suspension work/wheel bearings and CV axle. She is at 160k now so I know there will be more to do but I still love the car and will keep it! Maybe once I replace all the necessary parts I'll save up for some performance mods. I hope I never have to sell her.
6 freaking min before you start on the list. Bro just get straight to the point. Great points once you finally got started. Have had to change the door handles for every door.
A lot of those valve seat issues sorted themselves out right out of the factory to little old grandma and grandpa’s who did not know what they had under the hood because it’s now known that if your engine doesn’t get go at least 12-14k rpm’s it’s not getting adequate oil protection that’s why a lot of police cars failed prematurely with the 5.7 because police will for who fkn knows why let their car sit for thousands of hours at idle
Yes I said it I’m sorry for blowin up your comment section but if your car was previously owned by a little old gray haired lady well congratulations 🎉for the body but I’d be very careful not to overheat it too many times but cars with previous owners who got into the petal within reason and didn’t try to burn their tires at every stop light or parking lot and the car is still running strong you got a good one my 05 still running like a champ 200k later I believe first owner bought it new gave it to his son and it proved to be too much car and I would be the 3rd owner with the first things I noticed and changed asap was valve cover gaskets, water pump , plugs , alternator, egr valve , &….suspension ohhhh yeah fuel pump
Where was this at lol? That’s a super good price if it’s true. As well as how is it running? Cause I spent $8k for my 07 hemi with 120k and was said to have a rebuilt motor, 1 owner. It was way out the way and an old guy had it so it is in great condition. Only issue he just rebuilt the motor. Since last June. I already had to replace motor mounts, oil pump, and alternator. The mechanic ain’t cheap either lol. But so far still running strong. I just don’t have a good tune or any enhancements yet.
@@1stunna91 last year I replaced the radiator that was about 300 in all. Just a couple weeks ago I had to replace the crankshaft sensor. That was 368. Other then that I haven’t had major problems with it. I take care of it and keep my oil change. Its a good car and perfectly fine to be a 07 and it’s 2023
Yup you're 100% correct, I had to drive over 4 hours to find mine when I bought it, there's where other ones closer to me but all were abused and not in great shape.
Very decent vehicle, but this issues are true. If you’re handy & know how to replace parts yourself it’s ok otherwise it’ll be costly at the shop. Other than that I loved this car.
Yo the coolant problem might be your water pump bearing mine just went recently for the 5.7 l engine try opening the hood with the car running and see if any of your pulleys are wobbling 🫡
