      @@MidnightPolaris800 so what are you saying ? The mercedes trans are junk too and to blame ? It's a well known fact that Chrysler automatics wear out and are prone to all kinds of failures ,now on the other hand if their engines were backed up by a manual trans then you could have way more performance and reliability. I grew up around this model since the sixties up to date I think Its safe for me to make these claims on experience alone .there really is no bullet proof transmissions made but it depends on the quality of materials they are constructed of .and I might add that I am a former general motors turbo hydramatic plant UAW employee from the school craft Michigan plant as was my father and grandfather .Its safe to say that it's hard too wear out a t 350 or 400 gm trans . If you go on Craigslist you will see the majority of vehicles listed with great engine but needs trans work done are Chrysler's ,Honda oddyessy vans and mostly anything from europe.its just the facts you can see for yourself if you look up recall listings for problematic transmission and again right there Chrysler rears up it's ugly head .don't get me wrong I love the shit out of their cars owned a few myself back in the 70s and late 80s hell I currently drive a diesel f-250 3/4 ton built in 86 and it only has 64,000 original miles on the international harvester 6.9 non turbo .I bought it from a feed and grain supplier that only used to deliver farm supplies to customers and that's the reason miles are so low .I had the truck going on two years now and no problems what so ever other than it needs clear coat replaced. But anyways that right there goes to show you the difference of good quality vehicles they used to build my co workers 2016 GMC is always in the shop it seems as is my neighbors 2018 fancy ass Dodge ram Texas edition and you guessed it is plagued with trans problems or something electrical with that little round shift knob they put on the dash . That's some stupid shit right there to begin with. Well I apologise for my ignorance I really had know idea that I would offend someone of automotive expertise such as yourself and others also that know more than I do I really didn't mean to step on anyone's toes again I apologise you all have blessed day now ya hear?...

    Good advise on the valve train, my buddy who was a professional mechanic wrecked his 360 an hour before I showed up because he tried to start it on starter fluid and the last owner had rebuilt the heads and never lubricants do the valves so they were all stuck in the open position from sitting so long. One new piston and a full rebuild later with new heads, lesson learned. I usually try to turn the motor over a few times with a socket to make sure everything is free before running it.

      Glam Stachee ya see I hear people sayin that all the time, but I don’t think you are right. The next generation coming up understands these newer cars and how to keep them running just like the older generation understood the older cars, the aftermarket will pick them up and run and you will likely be able to get any replacement part you want just like you can for other older cars. Maybe not all the modern cars but certainly there is going to be 2019 challengers and camaros that still run in 40 years

    • @Iamthathillbilly
      @Iamthathillbilly 5 років тому +3

      Glam Stachee just out of curiosity how old are you? Because I see a lot of older guys that think that way, who just don’t understand that it’s actually really simple to find a cheap code reader, that will tell you everything you need to know, and any idiot can change a sensor when you really needed knowledge to diagnose and fix an older car, I’m not saying it’s easier but it certainly isn’t rocket science. I think the main thing that will get new cars is the way they are built doesn’t lend itself well to being rebuilt body wise, once it’s rotted it’s done for.

      I'm actually 34, depends if you consider that young or old. I just like old stuff in general, it was always better built. It also depends where you live. Here in eastern europe for example even used code readers cost more than an average month's salary, and even then it's a game of chance whether or not it'll work on your car, but basically everyone can get hold of a ratchet set and a screwdriver. Modern cars are just so cramped, even "simple" cars from 2000+ need half the engine bay removed to change an alternator, but as for rust I'll give them credit, they're much better built than the old steel, which would just rot out in 5 years or less in this shitty cold climate.

    To get the wheels spinning before moving the car, you use the same technique as when the valves are stuck :D When you got the car digged and jacked up from the ground, or when towing the car, use a sledgehammer to the wheels, most often that got'em turning.
