    What stupid things have YOU said to NON Mopar owners?

    Back when I had my 2.2 turbos running 11s, I'd walk by "musclecars" - favorite prey being 5.0 Fox bodies - and just give a "hmm..." after I whupped them. "Dude, you just got trounced by a WAGON" was also common when I was running my Satellite wagon. And then while they were loading it on a...

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Homebrew spray of dish soap and water. We shall see. Supposedly if they ingest the soap, they suffocate on it or something.

    What did you do today....other than work on your car!?

    Sprayed my silver maples - again - to try and kill these ^}€×^=|¢®£!! lantern flies. They've already killed one in my backyard. I'll probably plant tulip poplars between each of the maples; nothing seems to want to kill them....

    Dakota Radio Not Working

    A DIN size is about the height of your HVAC controls. Din and a half is the height of your existing stereo. Double din is....taller yet. DIN left, double DIN right: Yours is the recessed, square corner style. This is the flush, rounded corner style Still din and a half, but different...

    What did you do to your Mopar today?

    Took it to work yesterday (early start) I was working a concert at a county fair all day. Had a blast! But driving home I noticed it was covered in crush-and-run gravel dust. So today I washed it with water for the first time in about 5 years. Usually just gets a spritz of quick detailer...

    Most of those are double-din size. Most early Mopars are din-and-a-half. Earliest double DIN Mopar I had was my 05 Magnum r/t...

    Dakota Radio Not Working

    Size is easy. It's a standard DIN-and-a-half. 2 types - recessed with square corners, or flush with rounded corners. Just order by year thru crutchfield, they'll get you the right kit. If you were closer I'd offer to do it for you. Everything - install, wiring, all of it, takes me about 45...

    Dakota Radio Not Working

    Need to replace it. I've put Alpine single-DIN Bluetooth receivers in my 01 ram, my 91 Daytona, and my 90 turbo minivan. Radios are like $109, install kits are maybe $35 with pigtails. Easy wiring, easy install.

    Let's post some fun stuff here

    Partially correct. Left in the shot is the wireless belt pack. Inner ankle. Although there should be a wire from it to the mic on her lapel - they are only 'wireless' from the person, to the sound system, not from the pack to the mic. Outer ankle is a "personal monitoring device". Wireless...

    When Lunacy and Ingenuity Meet....

    There's a lift (fuel) pump on the driver side of the block, below and behind the fuel filter. It's electric (assuming it's in stock form). If that's dead, no fuel gets to the injector pump. If there's no gauge on the fuel system, you can crack the line from the filter to the vp44 and see if...
