How are you painting that bumper? Taking it off the car? I have a peeling front facia myself.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

I cussed it as my crankshaft position sensor finally kicked the bucket. In the middle of a massively busy intersection during 5:00pm Friday traffic. Yeah, that wasn't fun at all. But I ran down to the O'Reilly auto parts store (a block away) and they had it in stock for $55. My hubby came to save me with a trailer, we took her home, and he's going to earn a very nice little bonus tonight for replacing this for me. It's a win-win! Me-happy. Car-happy. Hubby-comatose. :-)

Both front and rear bumpers will be taken off and painted and then clear coat added...Carl

Getting them professionally painted?

Installed 74MM throttle body today... had a rough idle at around 500-700RPM...drove it for 100 miles and the rough idle is virtually gone. Is this a common symptom after the initial installation? I like the fell of the pull at full throttle...can tell a difference...Carl

Puts a little extra grin in there doesn't it.. ;)

Did you do a throttle reset with that? Both of our cars settled in with it after a minute or so..

Replaced my water pump, again. Managed to sever 4 wires when I put a cable line on the wrong side so the serpentine belt ripped through them. Also managed to break my coolant temperature sensor.

Back to the garage since my radiator fan is always on and the coolant temp is stuck in the cold position.

Easy car to work on, dumb (expensive) mistakes on my part...

Sounds like it was one of those days...

lildaddym: I guess you could call it simi-professional... I have a friend who is an X bodyman that does this on the side at his home paint shop...his work is very impressive and real reasonable...to fix 3 door dings, paint and clear coat both bumpers, 500.00... Fender Mender wanted 900.00!!...Carl:D

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Yes...that's probably why it cleared out after the 100 mile drive...Later,Buddy...Carl

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Nothing a few drinks and a cigar can't fix, lol. Luckily the sensor is only $20, I fixed the severed wires. The bolt I snapped in half will have to be held together with gasket sealant though...

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

absolutely nothing.
i havent seen my car since july 18th.
i just hope to driveit again this year before the weather gets too bad.
pre planning would have been good. could have had the tranny improved, maybe a needed coat of paint... oh well. in the garage it sits until i get home. a battery tender would have been a good thought before i left for work.

sorry, just going through withdrawls

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Oh my GAWD, I didn't get the "buy Bosch or walk home" memo about the crankshaft position sensor. Replaced it with a quick O'Reilly part, no prob! 2 minutes later it failed, just like the forums warned. I shall never doubt you again, crossfire forum.org!!

New spark plugs installed, changed the shocks with KYB. Now I noticed my drivers side half shaft has a cracked CV boot and needs replacement.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Sanded and buffed the passenger headlight again, really gotta wrap those in clear vinyl to protect from UV rays. Least my HID's really shine now!

I've gotta do both of mine again too. I sanded and polished them last year and they are a little oxidized again.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Doesn't take much with these headlights.

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

:) At 20246 miles, I let Chrysler Dealership install new valve covers and cover gaskets due to weeping oil. It is covered on the lifetime powertrain warranty, and it was discovered by them during the 5 year LPW inspection last week. I actually knew this was weeping BUT it never weep'd enough to smell or bother me. I also read in the warranty booklet that this LPW inspection is EVERY 5 years, at any Chrysler Dealership. So, they have my girl, I should get her back tomorrow afternoon. :)

Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
 

Is that LPW good for any owner?
