    Should i replace the timing chains on my 3.7?

    So im putting a little cash into the 04 and have been searching for some info about timing chain replacement. I found it stated quite a few times that "the chains will outlast the engine".

    Heater core questions

    So next week I plan on replacing the heater core in our 400,000 miles 04. I've done my homework but I have a couple quick questions that I was hoping that you guys could help me answer. I've searched around and realize that the AC system has to be dismantled in order to remove the dash of my...

    The original ****** went out at about 300k. It was the 4 speed auto. By the way, its the 3.7 in it. It does have a little oil consumption issue however, but thats to be expected with this kind of mileage. Also NOVA-Northern Virginia
