Smile Re: Jacking the Crossfire??

I just did an oil change and put in a new GMB water pump on a 2004 Crossfire (78K miles) I just purchased. To lift the front of the Crossfire I used two jacks, luckily I own two. A small cheap one I've had for many years, and a larger one I use to lift my trucks (F150, Expedition and Dodge Ram). I was going to buy another cheap/small jack, but the large one fit and worked fine. Lifted a little on each side (back and forth) so I could get under it. Good thing I did, who ever did the last oil change didn't use a copper washer, so they torqued the drain plug way too tight to keep it from leaking. You can get a small jack from Harbor Freight pretty cheap, buy two if you don't have one already. Be sure to use jack stands before getting under the car and use blocks on the rear wheels.
