Hello hiendtime, I enjoyed
Hello hiendtime, I enjoyed reading you post, sounds so much like our selves. after many years with short wheelbase Pajero shogun 4x4s (3) over 14 years & and a bloddy good run out of all of them i might add. we thought it was time to get a new 4x4 so we bought a 4 month old wrangler sport @9000ks 2009 with the 3.8l V6. 5 years & 50000 trouble free ks later our needs had changed and my wife said we really need a 4 door car. I have allways been a Ford man Generally. My wife liked the new Chrysler 300c over the Ford Falcon & Teritory. So i found a nov 2014 300s with 14500ks on the clock with the balance of new car warranty. We purchased in Feb 2016 and thats when the Fun started. i dont think we have done 2000 ks in it yet as we have had it in the shop more than half of that time. check engine light, missfire on no 5, dropping cylinder 5 at idle more so when cold.. We have had a loan car for the last month with driving restructions etc I have had a good run out of all the ford F100s F150s so i think it might be time to put the missis in a New Ford Rapture?? Rather then go for the 6.2 300hemi. I have been in the Marine business for 35 years and i should have figered as the Chrysler outboards were crap back in the 70s, I cut my teeth on all the early fuel injection systems EFI, Ficht,Mercruiser MPI & Opti Max & DFI etc so when the young service manager tryed to string me along i drew the system infront of him and said please explain? O2 sensor or Map sensor ? which 1 is setting it off?? Any way they are now going to change the Cylhead. Not sure i want a car that will robibley have oil leaks etc 3 months out of warranty. That POS engine makes the Ford look good ?? sort of. all the best.
