Generally, most spark plugs we made to last 60,000-100,000 miles. The spark plugs in the Chrysler Town & Country should be inspected and cleaned every 30,000 miles, according to Chrysler. By replacing the spark plugs as suggested, gas mileage can be improved as well as strain on the engine.
Follow these easy steps to replace the spark plugs in a Chrysler Town & Country:

1. First, you should disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Let the battery cool. Do not try to replace the spark plug in a hot engine, as it can damage the cylinder head.
3. Find the spark plug wires. They will be located across the front and back of the engine.
4. Release the lock on the spark plug by first grabbing the spark plug wire by its boot. Turn it one-half turn clockwise, and then one-half turn counterclockwise. Pull the wire off the spark plug. Lay the wire aside.

The gas cap door cover can be a little tricky if you don’t know what to look for. The Chrysler 300 has capless gas area, but has a door that needs to be popped open to access the opening. It is not immediately obvious as to where the button is that gets pressed to access the gas tank door. The button is located on the driver’s side door. It is below the standard buttons (like the window controls) and above the storage compartment on the door. Look closely!

Unless reset, the “Change Oil” or the “Oil Change Required” message will continue to be illuminated in the instrument cluster of your Chrysler 300 each time you turn the ignition switch to the “on” position. To reset the oil change indicator system after performing the scheduled maintenance, turn the ignition switch to the “on” position, but do not start the engine. Next, fully depress the accelerator pedal slowly three times within ten seconds and turn the switch back to the “lock” position. If either of the messages still appears in your view, the system did not reset and you should repeat the previous action.

Not only is this a great vehicle for towing and hauling, it does not come with the high mpg that most towing and hauling vehicles do. This truck is efficient with 20 MPG highway across the entire light-duty line of engines. This truck gives you the best of both worlds.

The Jeep Liberty is a vehicle that is able to handle driving on many terrains and can even handle off-roading. It was built with many features that allow it to handle such conditions, such as traction, maneuverability, and ground clearance.

What is traction? Traction allows the transfer of engine power into forward motion. Between the part-time Command-Trac tube or the full-time Selec-Trac systems, the Jeep Liberty gives the driver maximum traction in most any condition. One of the other features of the Jeep Liberty is the brake lock differential which uses the brake pressure to redistribute torque when it is needed.

In 2011, Chrysler published a video of the results of comparison tests that they performed with the Chrysler Town & Country against the Toyota Sienna LE V6. While both would commonly be considered to be comparable minivans, the outcomes proved to distinguish them as very different. Take a look:

This was one of the most obvious differences as the handling of the Sienna was not as adequate as the Town & Country. The suspension in the Sienna is soft which makes the van feel uncomfortable in any handling situations.

The Town & Country had superior handling qualities, especially in situations like emergency handling.

The Town & Country ABS worked well with adequate pedal feedback and feel while having short stopping distances with minimal brake time.

Although the Sienna felt powerful at the acceleration, the Town & Country’s [...]

When the Dodge experts sat down and designed the 2011 DodgeDurango, they were designing it as if they would be driving it themselves. They wanted it to be a car that they would want to drive.

This was all done to ensure that the Durango was equipped to handle any task, in any climate.

The quality testers implemented a new level of daily testing procedures in their [...]
