    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    Very good point, even dino oil today is light years ahead of the stuff they told our parents to change every 2500-3000 miles. It's similar to when our Grandparents thought Elvis was an evil demon the way he shook those hips, you are bound to run into some resistance with any kind of change.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    My wife went there too, 1989 grad, maybe you guys know each other. Send me an e-mail if you were there those years. Glad you are happy with your dealer, nice to have a good working relationship when large sums of money are involved. Enjoy your new ride.

    Ordered '05 Renegade

    Flaren, what part of MA are you from? My Mother also had to order her 2004 to get a stick in the Renegade, she insisted. I also had her get the limited slip rear and the ABS, don't know if that is standard now. Hope you are not getting it through Haddad Motors in Lenox MA because their...

    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    Oh yeah, our other ride is Ma's (the wife) 1998 SWB Caravan with the 2.4L four banger I think they now offer in the Liberty. It's a stripper with A/C and Ma gets very angry during the Summer when she gets out of work and has to reach over and roll down the passenger window with the crank...

    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    For the past three years I have driven a 1995 GMC 1500 Sierra Xcab 4X4. It had only 35K miles when I bought it because the owner only had a 2 mile commute to the store he owns, he actually owns most of the entire block so he's doing ok. He trades them in at about that mileage and gets the same...

    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    She's trying to regain her youth by driving a flashy "IN" car. She's in her upper 50's, you know, women at that age start to lose it. They mature faster but get wacky sooner too. O:)

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    yeah, talked to my lawyer and he said it's not on my record and it's no big deal. they could have mailed the letter but had the sheriff deliver it for added drama. It's just a note from an attorney's office. Still pretty obnoxious.

    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    Just the fact that synthetic gets to vital areas of the engine sooner than dino in cold weather is good enough reason for me. Plus, because of it's properties, synthetic resist oxidation better than dino therefore it maintains it's viscosity longer. Again, good enough for me. I live in...

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Someone from the County Sherrif's office hand delivered me a "No Trespassing Order" from Haddad Motors today. I can no longer step foot on the dealership property. How can it be so easy for them to do that? Not that I care to ever go there, but it bothers me that it was done. My Mother still...

    Convential Oil, who uses what?

    Wal-Mart sells Rotella T 5W-40 fully synthetic in gallons for $13 and change which is not bad per quart, an excellent bargain. :-k

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Thanks for the info Blu. No check as of today, my Mother had some plumbing issues at home so she left work early and was preoccupied. Although it's not too hard to just pull in and talk with the owner, it's on her way. I assured her there was no need for confrontation or even conversation on...

    Unichip - Piggyback ECU for the Liberty.

    Wonder if that Unichip would boost the "cool factor" in our minivan, that way when I'm driving it "sans family" I'll have a better chance with the ladies. \:D/

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Thanks Tim, it's amazing how many people have also had a bad experience with HADDAD, or know someone who has, but they still seem to be doing well. Thing is, I live in an area where there is not a lot of competition so they have the market cornered in a sense. Eventually their reputation will...

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    I arrived at the dealer nice and early this morning at 8:40 for my 9:00 with the owner. When he arrived we proceded to his huge office where he seemed pleasant enough and didn't have that cheesy salesman aire about him but instead seemed like a down to earth guy. I asked him to listen to me...

    In Channel vs. Stick on Ventvisor?

    I've always wanted a set for cracking the window in the rain and less wind noise, but can't bring myself to part with the money...what a cheapo

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Thanks man, I will tell you, it is absolutely exhausting, I'm preparing my speech for the owner, E-mailing Chrysler (which I know is useless, but it does go on record), all while I am supposed to be outside gathering firewood to keep the oil man away. My own fault for not gathering it in the...

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    Spoke with the owner this am to schedule an appointment to clear this up and sever all ties with the dealership, waiting for a call back from him with a time.

    Rear brake noise, heat, smoke?

    That's why I'm in this mess, I realize a car dealership is a business that needs to make money, but to sell bogus "maintenance" to people that don't know any better is unacceptable and completely evil.
