I use 180 degree thermostat with Diablo tune with fans adjusted. Cruising highway I stay at 185 and off highway I stay under 190. Definitely a good combination. I have 2007 300c 5.7 with 170k.

One of the things you want to do is have a good, knowledgeable, certified mechanic to check your car. I see too much DIY guessing online when it comes to car owners and throwing parts at problems. I wish I still had the paperwork from years ago of having this resolved on my 2005 Chrysler, but it was not the strut mounts nor struts themselves. It was another hardware component in the lower front-end suspension. Also, when you take it to a knowledgeable Certified mechanic to check the front end. Don't make suggestions to the mechanic as to what you think it is. Just let them thoroughly check it.
I have the Chrysler 300 C 2007. I have owned mine for almost 7 years and bought it used. I have had to replace ALL my door handles bc they just don't hold well (also have 3 rough boys). In this last year though I have had to replace my water pump, radiator, some sensors, and the black plastic pieces under the front end you showed. That side you say you have the gap is where my bumper refuses to stay in place. Great car though. I fell asleep at the wheel on the highway and hit a concrete median and it held solid with just a popped tire and a paint chip. Love the video.
235768 miles and still going great 2006 300c, original owner, had the stuck shifter, out of the four you listed. #4 are the pins that hold the panels together are stretched, easy to replace.
@@supersayin1 yes its worth it......there is a cable connecting the shifter, you have to move it sideways , that should enable you to shift, but only once. Its an easy fix, had the dealer fix it.
As for suspension, if you want it to last, absolutely replace all bushings with polyurethane bushings. I've never had an issue since. Don't know if this is common, but the ignition switch goes bad on keyless entry where you go to start and nothing till you keep trying till it does connect and start. Recall on the passenger air bag system also. Can cause death if not fixed.
05 300c 5.7 Hemi Bought with 220k miles I had coolant in the oil wasn’t too bad (yet) So I changed the - left and right head gaskets and pcv valve - Shocks - Struts - Front End - Spark Plugs - Brakes - Oil - Coolant Flush - Oil Pressure Sensor - Coolant Sensor - Inside Mirror Clamps - Sway Bar Bushings - Wheel Alignment - Headlight and Fog detailer - A/C Fixed ( was blowing on one side ) - Change the Heater T Hose Now I just need 4 new tires 🤟🏾 Make Sure To Care For Your Hemi This is an easy car to take car of an it last for a longggggggg time
2008 300c heritage 5.7 w/100K miles, the car is beautiful, spent most it's life in Arizona and garaged. Still looks new... I only hear it when it is warm outside, but it's a small rubbing when going slow to a small clunk when going faster (front right). Time to change some bushings I suppose. Knew it was coming. Thanks for the video.
Parking brake (E-Brake) can become a major issue if not fixed. It could actually lock up your rear wheels at any given point if the internal components come apart inside the drums.....
Good information!!! Questions I’ve been hearing a sloshing sound coming from the dashboard. It happens when I first turn the vehicle in the morning or when I’ve been driving for an Hr and I turn off vehicle I hear sloshing sound coming from the dashboard. I am hoping is not the evaporator going bad. The ac is working fine but I don’t see water coming out from the ac drainage. Maybe the ac drainage is clog. Any pointers will be much appreciated.
thanks for pointing out these things i just got a 300 and now i know what to keep my eye on. those headlights are sick (in single color mode not rainbows lol) quick piece of advice, u gotta cut / edit your video down to get to the topic of the video sooner, then giving like a 2 or 3 word explaination of what eachg issue is like one door handle, two parking brake, three short runner valve, etc... cuz this is a good video but requires patience . basically just go thru it and edit out any time you say a filler word 'um' or 'uh' anything like that, edit out any time you repeat something you already explained good, make sure the pacing of the first 10-20 seconds is muuuch faster to let us the viewers know if these 4 issues are things we are interested in also. or at the very minimum, u could skip the edits i suggested and simply put like an index in the description with timestamps. like 00:01 - intro , 00:35 backstory, 01:41 issue #1 , 02:67 issue #2, etc 35k views is a LOT for a diy car advice video.. i guarantee u could 10x those views if u whittle it down a little
Where was this at lol? That’s a super good price if it’s true. As well as how is it running? Cause I spent $8k for my 07 hemi with 120k and was said to have a rebuilt motor, 1 owner. It was way out the way and an old guy had it so it is in great condition. Only issue he just rebuilt the motor. Since last June. I already had to replace motor mounts, oil pump, and alternator. The mechanic ain’t cheap either lol. But so far still running strong. I just don’t have a good tune or any enhancements yet.

one of my my rear fender skirts are loose, and flutter around sometimes making noise, the skirts are held in with push plugs,., Im thinking of removing the loose push plugs, and try new ones or put a screw in there. if u start hearing noise from the back, check the fender skirts first. the only other thing that went bad so far on my 06 is the hood struts went flat.. they are easy to change and not expensive.. 25 bucks for the set. also do you know if the car has a cabin filter for the AC?
Very informative thank you. Could you share part names or links to the transmission components you mentioned? The shifter and the sensor seal? Recently bought a 300C 3.0 CRD and it's such a lovely car. Feels like driving around in a bank vault.
Recently replaced the ignition switch. Turns out if someone turns the key 🔑 TOO HARD it will break the pot metal switch inside the ignition switch that turns the switch on the end of it. (Ignition, start, accessory switch.) Sometimes the broken pot metal can interfere with the locking mechanism and keyless entry if severely damaged.
I have a 2013 300c with the 5.7 and I'm on my second engine. Still say the car is dependable though cause when I say I drive mine, I mean I DRIVE it. I've done quite a few upgrades to it. Full exhaust long tube JBAs 90 mm throttle body bigger injectors cam and a full tune and the rear end out of a scat pack and it's the funnest car I've ever owned. Also just recently started hearing that front end noise.
I have a 08 with 120k so far the issues I’ve had is the front control arms and tie rods. Routine engine maintenance, misfires changed spark plugs. Now i have to do coils and maybe injectors. Other than that can is a tank
I had an 09 300. Car drove nice on highway but darn, that noise you mentioned on that front end drove me mad. My mechanic told me for a few years , Mopar put double the tie rods , etc on those front ends. He was part changing and the noise would stop....for about 4 months. More parts changing. Should have just told him to put a nee front end top to bottom. I think he didn't want any parts of it. Yeah, lol, that thump/rattle drove me batty.

@@89nx26 Most are. My 07 is running good but only had it since last June and already fixed: Oil filter, motor mounts, and alternator. All were $500 to $800 fixes. Hemi’s are fun but I think there’s a lot of kick backs.
Found also recently that the ecm is common to fail in my 2006 300 touring. Finding an ECM at an exceptional reasonable price is impossible cause the new one has to be programmed for the specific car. Additional $400- $600 programming fee.

what tires are u running, im running the firestone firehawk wide oval as in 18s.. they are a little noisy on the highway but the car handles well with them in turns, and grip the road well.
If it's leaking inside your car on the floor it'll probably be your heater core or heater core hose. That's usually what it is if it's leaking inside on your floor.
TWICE MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE SHIT OUT!! I've got something going on with my transmission right now, too. It could be a sensor, a seal, or whatever. I don't know. Haven't had time to put it in the shop.
@@frederickorcutt9112 I have to admit that just having race bullets is a bit loud. A pair of flowmaster outlaws or leaving the rear resonators would be nicer, but I'm liking the race bullets personally
@@mrkojak-ci1zm Thanks for the reply. My brother cherry bombs everything he buys and it's usually super droney and loud. Just cutting out the suitcase barely added any drone and people I've driven by that I know say it sounds nice as is. I did look at some magnaflows but am putting off doing it until next year because of the money. Just did the drivers CV axle, both front wheel bearings and all driver front suspension except for shocks. That hit my wallet pretty hard! haha
@@frederickorcutt9112 no problem man. Yeah if you want to keep it manageable I'd keep the resonators. Luck to you in your repairs. I haven't had to do anything on mine yet except the exhaust change. I have around a 100k miles to make decisions. Thinking about keeping the 5.7 block, adding 6.4 intake &heads, cam, throttle body and seeing how that goes.
@@mrkojak-ci1zm I've done a bit on it. Water pump/belt/alternator was the first thing. Had to do it in January, outside, in PA. It was so cold it took me a whole week to get it done because of having to thaw my hands so much. 😂 Did the front grille for fun and then had to do the suspension work/wheel bearings and CV axle. She is at 160k now so I know there will be more to do but I still love the car and will keep it! Maybe once I replace all the necessary parts I'll save up for some performance mods. I hope I never have to sell her.
The clunck in the front is on the newer ones too prolly around the 60 thousand mark your gonna need new shocks or better ones and get some suspention work done but you dont have to do it right at 60 youll just hear clunking leaving the driveway in the morning and damage your car over time but 😂
Great video bro I have had the first problem with my Magnum SXT 3.5 for sure and the last one. Knock on wood I haven't had transmission problem yet. Keep doing your thing 💪💪 it bro
If the car gets stuck in park pop that change holder out & theres a red button on the side to release it out of park i broke my whole gear box before i figured that out😢( I've been looking for those rims for the longest)
What is that black piece that rips up around the front end you showed? You called it the front suspention but it wasnt the same thing I was thinking about
Good vid bro, some things to look out for, those halos are friggin badass, I need some asap, Probably already sorted but that front right bumper has one bolt right on the end, undo that and realign then tighten, mine was the same coz the tab the bolt goes through was bent, Awesome car bro 300GANG💪
How can u blow up a engine in a Chrysler????? I flow it everyday and my shit has 197k miles with a good oil change I feel like no one check there oil and shit and just start and go
The 2.7 liter engine after so many miles or what have you , it tends to tick and rattle , I just got an 06 from a guy and I found it to have this tick and rattle , now I've had a couple others but the one I had before this one did the same tick and rattle sound like rocker arms and lifters , I don't know how the guy ran the car , but an issue I'm having whit it , second time different car , but same year model of car
1. yes i fixed it can not fail any more 2. yes i fixed it 3. i have kw coil over, noise is from coil and rubber 4. yes it is strange 5. no, i have 230000 km and last 100000km i floored it and it is still ok
In 2017, I had that tiny pink, plastic, shifter piece break on my 2007. Paid $600 repair in 2017. Online, I found a Chrysler 300 Customer Satisfaction guarantee letter where Chrysler admitted it was a problem but stopped short as far as saying it was a recall; which it should have been. Anyway, it said they would repair the problem for free, or if you already had it fixed, if you sent a copy of the this letter, your vehicle info and a copy of the repair bill, they would send you a refund. We'll, my refund was denied because my car was built in April/May and they didn't start that refund until June! WTH. It was the same part and same problem, it should have been a recall because you could stop in the middle of nowhere when that piece broke and be stranded! Jump forward to 8/8/24 and now the A/C turns on and off, my side rearview mirror keeps changing position and my dash panels lights go crazy. Chrysler 300c forum really didn't have many answers. Everyone claimed something else fixed the problem.
Can you help me and tell me what to do because I pushed the trunk button I hear the noise but it still won't open I went inside the trunk from the inside of the car and pulled the release cord and it still won't open can you help me please
Yes I said it I’m sorry for blowin up your comment section but if your car was previously owned by a little old gray haired lady well congratulations 🎉for the body but I’d be very careful not to overheat it too many times but cars with previous owners who got into the petal within reason and didn’t try to burn their tires at every stop light or parking lot and the car is still running strong you got a good one my 05 still running like a champ 200k later I believe first owner bought it new gave it to his son and it proved to be too much car and I would be the 3rd owner with the first things I noticed and changed asap was valve cover gaskets, water pump , plugs , alternator, egr valve , &….suspension ohhhh yeah fuel pump
Love these 300 models i bought one 2007 srt8 deisgn as my first car young sadly it broke down very shortly and had to get rid of it would recomend but not as first car as u will need a backup incase something breaks while its at the shop
6 freaking min before you start on the list. Bro just get straight to the point. Great points once you finally got started. Have had to change the door handles for every door.
A lot of those valve seat issues sorted themselves out right out of the factory to little old grandma and grandpa’s who did not know what they had under the hood because it’s now known that if your engine doesn’t get go at least 12-14k rpm’s it’s not getting adequate oil protection that’s why a lot of police cars failed prematurely with the 5.7 because police will for who fkn knows why let their car sit for thousands of hours at idle
Yup you're 100% correct, I had to drive over 4 hours to find mine when I bought it, there's where other ones closer to me but all were abused and not in great shape.
Yo the coolant problem might be your water pump bearing mine just went recently for the 5.7 l engine try opening the hood with the car running and see if any of your pulleys are wobbling 🫡
Very decent vehicle, but this issues are true. If you’re handy & know how to replace parts yourself it’s ok otherwise it’ll be costly at the shop. Other than that I loved this car.
I use 180 degree thermostat with Diablo tune with fans adjusted. Cruising highway I stay at 185 and off highway I stay under 190. Definitely a good combination. I have 2007 300c 5.7 with 170k. I changed

@@1stunna91 It had 120K miles when I bought it, and now it has 190K.
my gaps are the same way.. the way the front cap is mounted on is kind of dinky.. its plastic and it warps..
Mine 05 is in the shop atm for waterpump will get it back tomorrow was it your waterpump?
what tires are u running, im running the firestone firehawk wide oval as in 18s.. they are a little noisy on the highway but the car handles well with them in turns, and grip the road well.
If it's leaking inside your car on the floor it'll probably be your heater core or heater core hose. That's usually what it is if it's leaking inside on your floor.
TWICE MY BLEND DOOR ACTUATORS HAVE SHIT OUT!! I've got something going on with my transmission right now, too. It could be a sensor, a seal, or whatever. I don't know. Haven't had time to put it in the shop.
whats that thing on the fenders, looks kinda fire
What size rims are those and are those profile tires?
I really love the video man I appreciate the information you giving us🔥Can you do a video on how to maintain your chrysler 300c?
Please
What kind of headlights are you using? I’ve been wanting to do that to my 300
Stock headlights, I put lightingtrendz halo kit inside
2014 300c, dumped the suitcase and resonators so far
Dynomax race bullets, sounds fantastic now.
I dropped the suitcase but feel like deleting the resonators as well will be too loud.
Is it a bit obnoxious?
@@frederickorcutt9112 I have to admit that just having race bullets is a bit loud.
A pair of flowmaster outlaws or leaving the rear resonators would be nicer, but I'm liking the race bullets personally
@@mrkojak-ci1zm Thanks for the reply. My brother cherry bombs everything he buys and it's usually super droney and loud. Just cutting out the suitcase barely added any drone and people I've driven by that I know say it sounds nice as is. I did look at some magnaflows but am putting off doing it until next year because of the money.
Just did the drivers CV axle, both front wheel bearings and all driver front suspension except for shocks. That hit my wallet pretty hard! haha
@@frederickorcutt9112 no problem man.
Yeah if you want to keep it manageable I'd keep the resonators.
Luck to you in your repairs.
I haven't had to do anything on mine yet except the exhaust change.
I have around a 100k miles to make decisions.
Thinking about keeping the 5.7 block, adding 6.4 intake &heads, cam, throttle body and seeing how that goes.
@@mrkojak-ci1zm I've done a bit on it. Water pump/belt/alternator was the first thing. Had to do it in January, outside, in PA. It was so cold it took me a whole week to get it done because of having to thaw my hands so much. 😂
Did the front grille for fun and then had to do the suspension work/wheel bearings and CV axle. She is at 160k now so I know there will be more to do but I still love the car and will keep it!
Maybe once I replace all the necessary parts I'll save up for some performance mods. I hope I never have to sell her.
The clunck in the front is on the newer ones too prolly around the 60 thousand mark your gonna need new shocks or better ones and get some suspention work done but you dont have to do it right at 60 youll just hear clunking leaving the driveway in the morning and damage your car over time but 😂
Sometimes the coolant will leak from the rattail on the thermostat..
Great video bro I have had the first problem with my Magnum SXT 3.5 for sure and the last one. Knock on wood I haven't had transmission problem yet. Keep doing your thing 💪💪 it bro
Appreciate it🙏🏿
@@Dan300 no prob bro we all in this together 👍💯
Have you had any problems since you commented?
What’s your exhaust setup?
If the car gets stuck in park pop that change holder out & theres a red button on the side to release it out of park i broke my whole gear box before i figured that out😢( I've been looking for those rims for the longest)
What is that black piece that rips up around the front end you showed? You called it the front suspention but it wasnt the same thing I was thinking about
also, where did you get those headlights from those look clean af
They are the stock headlights, just with halos from lighting trendz. They also sell prebult headlights as well, look them up
Good vid bro, some things to look out for, those halos are friggin badass, I need some asap,
Probably already sorted but that front right bumper has one bolt right on the end, undo that and realign then tighten, mine was the same coz the tab the bolt goes through was bent,
Awesome car bro 300GANG💪
Do you have the problem with the rear tone rings over ther mine been done 3 times in 62000 miles ?
How can u blow up a engine in a Chrysler????? I flow it everyday and my shit has 197k miles with a good oil change I feel like no one check there oil and shit and just start and go
05 is the og of the 300 😂 I’m jealous lol I got me a 2014 300
The 2.7 liter engine after so many miles or what have you , it tends to tick and rattle , I just got an 06 from a guy and I found it to have this tick and rattle , now I've had a couple others but the one I had before this one did the same tick and rattle sound like rocker arms and lifters , I don't know how the guy ran the car , but an issue I'm having whit it , second time different car , but same year model of car
Those engines are just loud and pretty chincy ngl
Who has a 2010 300c 5.7? Are they good?

I tend to use my knee to push in the bumper to close that gap
Like the headlights
In 2017, I had that tiny pink, plastic, shifter piece break on my 2007. Paid $600 repair in 2017. Online, I found a Chrysler 300 Customer Satisfaction guarantee letter where Chrysler admitted it was a problem but stopped short as far as saying it was a recall; which it should have been. Anyway, it said they would repair the problem for free, or if you already had it fixed, if you sent a copy of the this letter, your vehicle info and a copy of the repair bill, they would send you a refund. We'll, my refund was denied because my car was built in April/May and they didn't start that refund until June! WTH. It was the same part and same problem, it should have been a recall because you could stop in the middle of nowhere when that piece broke and be stranded! Jump forward to 8/8/24 and now the A/C turns on and off, my side rearview mirror keeps changing position and my dash panels lights go crazy. Chrysler 300c forum really didn't have many answers. Everyone claimed something else fixed the problem.
Can you help me and tell me what to do because I pushed the trunk button I hear the noise but it still won't open I went inside the trunk from the inside of the car and pulled the release cord and it still won't open can you help me please
I have the 07 300C AWD. When I get to 80 the front passenger tire shakes. What could it be, it’s not the wheel bearing or outer tire rod end.
Have the tire balanced, could be that
Check your rotor
front half shaft inner/outer cvj
i had vibrations at 200-220km/h , i found it was bearing that was not properly tightened
Yes I said it I’m sorry for blowin up your comment section but if your car was previously owned by a little old gray haired lady well congratulations 🎉for the body but I’d be very careful not to overheat it too many times but cars with previous owners who got into the petal within reason and didn’t try to burn their tires at every stop light or parking lot and the car is still running strong you got a good one my 05 still running like a champ 200k later I believe first owner bought it new gave it to his son and it proved to be too much car and I would be the 3rd owner with the first things I noticed and changed asap was valve cover gaskets, water pump , plugs , alternator, egr valve , &….suspension ohhhh yeah fuel pump
Love these 300 models i bought one 2007 srt8 deisgn as my first car young sadly it broke down very shortly and had to get rid of it would recomend but not as first car as u will need a backup incase something breaks while its at the shop
im literally about to buy a 2006 srt8 300 as my first car hes shown mechanic work of him replacing damn near everything battery oil etc
How many miles was she in this video??
About 164k I think
Aye I’m watchin this in North Dakota born in robbinssale
Yo I’m from South Dakota also and also have a 2006 Chrysler 300c
6 freaking min before you start on the list. Bro just get straight to the point. Great points once you finally got started. Have had to change the door handles for every door.
After 300k miles the only thing that failed was the radiator and the water pump...just routine maintenance
I’m Frm da Sioux Falls sd I’m buy omen to
@Ent6street I moved back to minneapolis but I used to drive to sioux falls all the time, I love that city. I lived in madison
If floors wet heater core is bad
Oil cooler and lifters for me 5,000 repair bill and mines not even a hemi
not gonna lie, just bought a 05 300 and when i was test driving it and bringing it home i jus kept saying i couldn’t hear the front end noise 😂
Haha very good🤣🤣
A lot of those valve seat issues sorted themselves out right out of the factory to little old grandma and grandpa’s who did not know what they had under the hood because it’s now known that if your engine doesn’t get go at least 12-14k rpm’s it’s not getting adequate oil protection that’s why a lot of police cars failed prematurely with the 5.7 because police will for who fkn knows why let their car sit for thousands of hours at idle
Thats funny I have an 02 deville 130k miles and a 05 chrysler 300c v8 hemi
Tks man, trans and front end raddle I have
O6 c
Heater cole,if your floor is wet,on the passenger side.
Sodak Gang, east river!
Mine sound was upper control arms ball joints
These are great cars, but you to shop around to find one that hasn't been abused, most have.
Yup you're 100% correct, I had to drive over 4 hours to find mine when I bought it, there's where other ones closer to me but all were abused and not in great shape.
Nice.
didnt even mention the MDS system. thats the killer of HEMIs
Dealing with this now. Changed solenoids car ran fine for a few days then back to misfiring
Mn here
You talk too much about nothing, get to the got damn point
Just got my 05 300 for 2700
@@donnybergwow nice
Yo the coolant problem might be your water pump bearing mine just went recently for the 5.7 l engine try opening the hood with the car running and see if any of your pulleys are wobbling 🫡
Very decent vehicle, but this issues are true. If you’re handy & know how to replace parts yourself it’s ok otherwise it’ll be costly at the shop. Other than that I loved this car.
The 200 is worse than this one
Dude get to the point
Ummm uhh ummm ummm uhhhhh
