You'll need a handheld tuner to change the fan settings.
I wouldn't use a universal coolant. Check your owner's manual to confirm, but your car should have come from the factory with HOAT coolant. Chrysler Pink HOAT isn't very expensive, but if you want to use something else, I'd suggest a good HOAT concentrate like Zerex G05.
You need to do a little research and pick one, then decide where you want to buy it.
Sounds like a plan but what ar they called and who makes them so I can research it
When I changed differentials I had to get a tuner to change gear ratios in the cars computer system. I got a diablo sport tuner which is a subsidiary of holly I believe, and also supposed to be one of the good ones for our series of cars, but I don't think it did fan settings. I can't remember for sure. If google the programmers they all have tech support numbers. The tech guys if you wait out the being put on hold for ever, are usually very helpful and could tell you if their product does what you need it for.
Thanks! 👍
Ok I know this is a question you've been ask but how in the hell do you check oil pressure read out on the 300 digital display! I can scroll through and see other stuff even eng temp and rpms but how do I get to the oil pressure read out!! I can't find it!
On my '05 300C it works exactly as you saw in the video I linked to. The screen with the icon of an oil can displays the oil pressure. If that doesn't work in your car, I can't explain it.
Since the noise follows changing very dirty oil, the noise problem may be sludge or gummed up lifter or even the oil brand. I would run Motor Medic Motor Flush in the engine for five minutes. In my experience the lifter sounds goes away shortly after starting the engine with Motor Flush. Some think there is risk in running the cleaner, but I haven't had a problem with it, but go at your own risk! If the motor is extremely sludged, then the cleaner may break loose more sludge and could cause more concern, but then if there is that much sludge, you have a significant problem anyway. Change the oil and filter immediately after running it with Motor Flush. Use Castrol Edge gold colored bottle or the extended life version of Castrol Synthetic. Oil filter should be Mopar brand. They sell them at Walmart. Some oil filters are slower to get oil circulating at start up. If this fixes the noise, you might change the oil at short intervals for a period to get the engine cleaner.
Don't put that in your car! That coolant has 2EHA acid in it which eats head gaskets and destroys your engine. Such fluid is like Dextrol which was designed for GM engines that have different head gaskets. Mopar coolant is expensive, but not nearly as expensive as head gasket repair. If you can't afford original equipment Mopar, then you might try Zerex 05 which is a hybrid coolant and safer on gaskets. Peak "global lifetime" is a universal product that is safe, but hard to find. Don't confuse with Peak longlife which is not safe and does have 2EHA acid in it.
Thanks for reply and great advice I'll do that!!
Does the noise stop after a few seconds or is it continuous? If after just a few seconds, that's "probably" no big deal. When mine sits over the weekend, as it usually does, Monday AM startup ticks just for a few seconds because I guess the oil drains down. If it is continuous, and the oil was really dirty when you got it, there is no telling how regularly the oil was changed. It might benefit from one of those oil/cleaning/flush processes to clean the internals. ... now this is going back a long long time, but back in the 70's I bought a car that had really dirty oil. I ended up changing the oil, then after just a few hundred miles it was black again. I repeated oil change a few times with some kind of cleaning additive until it slowly cleaned up and could resume regular oil change intervals.
I owned a 2006 300C with only 46k miles when I bought it and it had about 69k miles on it when my ex friend crashed it and totaled it. That’s why we’re not friends anymore! Anyway, to answer your question the best way I can, I have been an auto technician for most of my adult life and career and my 300C with a 5.7 liter HEMI had tappet noise the whole time I owned it. There’s really nothing you can do about it, except just get used to it. It’s common. Also, don’t worry about it if you notice that your temperature gauge reads just below the half way point. That’s normal aa well, give or take a little bit below the half way point or just past it if you’ve been hammering on it for most of the time you’ve been driving it like I would do a lot of the time. What can I say? I loved that car! I had it as fast as it would go driving from San Jose, Ca heading north on highway 280 towards San Francisco one weekend early afternoon and I had command of the entire 4 or 5 lanes because there weren’t very many other cars on the road that particular day. I had it pegged in sport mode and the car just cruised so well I swear to god it felt like it knew what to do and drove itself. It was so effortless and comfortable going 135 miles per hour and so smooth and it even sat down a little bit as I’d cross each lane into the next one and waited just a half a second to show anyone who might have cared or had the authority to throw me in jail for criminal speed, that I wasn’t doing anybody else any harm, I was just having some fun and seeing what my car could do. I had my foot on the floor for about 3 minutes without letting up at all and the car seemed to love it!
Thanks so much for the advice I'll take that universal back and get the Xerox GO5 👍
I don't know why you're asking about coolant again, but I'll recap.
Ok I did the flush and refill with50/50 premix Zerex G05 coolant.i noticed temp got up to 230 ° and no fans came on I checked fan relay and it's good I noticed little steam out tail pipe when running no water in oil and runs ok so I must have leaking head gasket! I tried blue devil head gasket pour n go but in the 50 minutes it's suppose to idle it got hot again so I shut off engine. It didn't work so 70.00 down the drain! So I'm going to do head gaskets myself I'm a mechanic and have little experiance! Car has 174k I'm sure this has timing chain not belt so should I replce the chain while car is basically tore down??
Just curious, how did you manage to get all of the water out of the system after the flush? Refilling with 50/50 premix means that you have to get pretty much every drop out in order to get the correct 50/50 coolant/water ratio.
Well car was blowing some steam from tail pipes! Not a lot! No watw in oil but the thermostat was out and after about 20 min it heats up to 235 ° it says that on the info center on dash! The gauge for some reason doesn't go past middle! And also after warms up coolant rises in radiator over fill! Fans do t come on and I tried to jump them but nothing! ( If I did that right)..? It doesn't miss I haven't tried driving it due to it gets hot! I used ttwo bottles of blue devil pour n go I put it directly in top radiator hose cold then started engine! It got hot within 20 min and had to turn it off! I started it back up at 170 ° and let it run but it got hot again in 10 min so I'm not sure if blue devil worked! I let it cool down then started it up and same thing got hot in 20 min! Light steam out of tail pipes still.. I'm stumped
