Just a comment - a guy here in my office drove a '99 Chrysler 300 to 192K, before trading it - with no engine or transmission repair. Now he has a 2003 Chrysler 300 that is currently at 195K - again with no engine or transmission repair. Both front wheel drive. Not bad!

My wife has a 02 Chrysler 300 with 31,000 miles and she recently heard, will not see 100,000 miles.
I wonder if she would drive my 61 LeBaron every day like before? hummm. Nope, she said it is too big! I get to drive it all by myself!!! hehehe

Subject: Re: IML: +++ CHRYSLER LIMOUSINES +++
more accurately, the 2.6 Mitsubishi/Chrysler engine didn't have timing chains, it had a timing belt w/ a single overhead cam. It also had a front mounted oil pump with a sproket mounted to it that via a chain spun a counterbalance shaft that removed poor harmonics of a very large 4 cylinder engine cheaper than casting a counterbalanced heavier crankshaft.The one I overhauled in a Chrysler minivan had overheated due to loss of coolant, which warped the head, galling the camshaft in its bearings and snapping it in 2. I poignantly recall/remember the design flaws of those engines. Later, I rebuilt the transaxle on the same vehicle, transaxles seem to be another soft-spot in 80's-90's Chrysler engineering. I have yet to see one make it over the 130K mark w/o needing some kind of repair or patch up job.ToddThere is also a 1985 Limo - eBay Item 120210249016.
JUST BE AWARE that the 2.6 Chrysler/Mitsubishi engine was a piece
of junk and had to have 4 timimg chains to try to compensate for
its upper head oil pressure flaw. Fortunately, it was not an
Imperial. I had a 1985 New Yorker which was loaded to the hilt,
but the engines and aluminium heads were junk.
