What do you guys think of this series? Are you interested in a super cheap build, our do you want me to focus on nicer cars and more modifications?
Great idea for a series!
@@MacRory42 thanks Tim!
I agree it's a great idea for a new series! It doesn't fit my demographic personally, but I enjoy following along regardless, and this car is perfect for a young adult to get on the cheap, and learn & fix it up little by little, and make it quite nice as a first vehicle. I've always thought the 300 was a pretty cool car even before the Charger & Challenger came along, especially w/ Hemi!
Great idea. I've got a 2005 Chrysler 300c an a 05 dodge magnum rt. These older hemi dont get the respect they deserve.
You should do something with a dodge magnum. They should've never stopped production on those.
I picked up a 300C that was also overheated at 135k miles for $800. Pulled the motor and it had both number 4& 7 dropped seats. Replaced both heads with rebuilt from a heads place in Texas for under $500. Sleeved 2 cylinders & bored everything out 40mm over. New quality pistons & rings. Then I bought a rebuild kit for less then $450 containing new water & oil pumps. New lifters & all new bearings. I'm retired so time is a hobby; replaced the exhaust system with Flowmasters and now it's a nice caged animal that wants to just go.........It has a clean interior and only a few minor bumps. With machine shop I have approx $3k out of pocket. Turned down $8k....this one's mine. Really like your earilier series, I'm 70 and learned a lot! Looking for another cheap buy to fix & flip.
Very nice!
I like this kind of videos. Specially that we just talk that I'm rebuilding the 300c. It's possible I did it on a wheelchair and I'm proud of my self for that. 😎
Very nice! 👍
@@markstevens780 its really fast, I like it and I got me, other 06 300c that i have to build the engine. I'll be updating videos from this project soon too.
I have a SRT8 Magnum 2007 as well as a 300c 06 so I’ll definitely be watching an following this build.
Those are some sweet rides!
Got myself a 06 300c, will certainly be following along as well. Keep it comin!
Can’t relate go ride of the slow hemi I had and got a sweet vette 🙌🏾
@@eianjordan2041 how many miles when you got it brotha? Im lookin at this 2006 300c with 155xxx
We've all been down this road before.. You have to make the best of what you have. Looking forward to this build series. Project: Power per dollar 300
I think this series is wonderful! I can’t wait to see the end result and thanks for putting the time into it as I know it won’t be easy…
I recently purchased a 08 300C for $600. A little rougher around the edges but the power train was great. which is fine as I only wanted the engine for a 70 duster hemi swap. love your videos. Thank you from Ontario Canada.
Sweet find!
So excited for this build, I own a 2005 Chrysler 300c with 125,000 and I tryna get mine to last 250,000 plus miles 🔥
Looking forward to this series for sure. I drive an 05 Magnum RT with 227000 on it. Now I have installed a 180 T-STAT and tuned the fans. This series is right up my alley.
How do you tune fans
@@cainadkins3985 go to a tuner
I am really happy to discover this channel. Professional
I appreciate that very much, thank you for watching!
Very informative channel man keep it up! Use to be a dodge tech myself when I was younger
Thanks for watching I appreciate it!
Love he honesty of your videos. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you simply have to live to fight another day.
Love your channel, I own a 2006 300C and I completely agree that it’s a very nice car for someone to start learning and a great project car! Excited for the series ! Keep the good work
Thanks for watching Joaqui!
I would love to see a VERY detailed vid on cam and lifter replacement on a 5.7 4th gen ram 1500. By detailed I mean start to finish, tq specs, timing, head tq patterns, rocker tq paterns etc...
I've gotten quite a few requests for this, so it's definitely on the list! 👍
Might as well get a remanufactured block. You’ll get way more for the money
The recognition if it is a hemi or not by the“c“ and the headlights only works on the 300 for the US market.
In other countrys and regions like europe and australia this model was always called 300c and had these rounded headlights even if there is a diesel engine in the car.
Thanks for the info! I've had that mentioned a few times to me now by international guys, and it was definitely new info to me. I would love to get my hands on an international 300 with the diesel, that would be a really cool build!
@@ReignitedAuto
The diesel is a Mercedes V6 with 510 newton meters, so quite a punch.
I don‘t know about importing a car into the US. Wasn‘t there a law that they have to be a certain age?
At least here in germany most 300c have been sold with the diesel engine and lots of them as a station wagon, which as far as I know the US did not get. It was converted from the dodge magnum but in and out a 300c.
@@hjrings9423 Very interesting, I bet it's the 3.0 diesel v6 from the Sprinter, that thing has quite a bit of juice!
Yes,i have 2.7v6 and its rounded headlight's,and I'm in Europe
@@ReignitedAuto It was V6 engine from E Class, same engine was sold in Grand Cherokee in states in limited numbers. International Mopar cars are different- Sebring got 2.0 gasoline and 2.0 Diesel from VW, I got before 300M with 2.7 V6 which was sold in Europę only.
Thank you for the video. Just changing the camshaft on my 2011 dodge ram. I'm not a mechanic and your videos help a lot. Thanks again
Very cool! Thank you for watching 👍
I think what you’re doing to help young people in America is a really fantastic idea Eddie UK🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks for all of your videos you Rock!!
Looking forward to this series!! Gonna b fun!
Thanks Shaun!
I just found your channel a few weeks ago and I have a 2017 RAM with a Hemi. I had bought it used and had a few problems under warranty, but it is a great truck now.
I really have enjoyed your channel and plan to keep watching. Thanks for making it interesting!
Appreciate you watching!
This is a awesome concept for a series. This is going to be showing everyone everyday problems and that you can actually fix them regardless of who you are. Just take your time and think your way through it.
Thanks Tom!
funny ....I was gonna do the same thing like now I'm going thru ads and searching a hemi 300c and your video just came out...how is that possible??? great content!!! very good approach! thank you
💪
Looking forward to this series!
I have this exact engine waiting for tlc so I’m definitely looking forward to this series. Personally I’d like to see the least expensive way to make the most of it. Whether it’s carbon cleanup or budget jy add-ons or chaos prevention. We appreciate any lessons you’ve got for us. You’re doing the Lord’s work on here.
@ JAIME D ...the least expensive way to make the most of it... check out the VS Racing website & look at their 7875 cast T4 turbo kit for $868... it's capable of 700hp to the rear wheels ... if you're looking for extra power, that would be the way to go
Keep it coming. Good job
Thanks for watching!
I fit perfectly into I gusss this demographic I’ll be 22 years old but I also own 3 vehicles 😂
Such a clean and well explained diagnosis...a very solid effort.
Appreciate you watching!
Thank you for this video I usually watch the videos soon as they hit but I been headed back home to the states
My 2007 300c Is straight piped with 2 15s in the back with 24inch rins and everybody loves it when I ride by!
Good work looking forward for you to bring your car back to life!!
Thank you for watching!
The 299 , not really up to 300 standards lol
😂 I think you might be the winner here 😂
This is going to be a fun project! Helping people see that you don’t have to have a big savings or go go deep into debt to end up with something that’s nice fun to drive and customized to your liking is great! Great tip on swapping known good parts with questionable parts, a good free way to help diagnose problems, even if the problem ends up being what you first thought you were able to make sure before spending time and money on something that could have a cheaper easier fix.
Appreciate it my brother!
I think u should repair it these old style hemis need some love and it’ll be badass to watch it getting rebuilt. i had a 08 non vvt and I dropped a valve seat @ 84000miles & never repaired it I ended buying a 09 eagle head vvt 300c with 94000 miles and im in love 😍 smooth ride and definitely has more power than the non vvt
No question the Eagle head versions have quite a bit more power. More complexity obviously, but I think it's worth the trade off 👍
Im 63, if it aint broke dont fix it. Keep your show the same...love it!!
The Silver Elephant, in homage to the old nickname for the 426 HEMI. They called em "elephant" motors, both for size and sound.
If by size you mean weight then yeah. Those things weighed about 900lbs dry 😂
@@jerodwolford2743 843lbs dry, heavy but also massive. The physical size of the block and heads are enormous
I'm real excited for this series. I think it should be a lot of fun. These days I can afford things that are a little nicer, but you know the cheap crap I bought as a teen.
😂 We all did!
Awesome video and content. Nice 2 see a true mechanic not a dam parts changer.lmk when it's finished I'll swing by and pick it up. Lol
😂👍
I bought my 06 awd 300c for $1800 a few years ago. Now it has a $1500 78mm china turbo setup on it and run's 11's in the 1/4. original 185k engine and trans. Lots of potential in these cars, and now I know way too much about them haha.
Sweet! That sounds like a lot of fun. Question, are you still running the stock torque converter as well? Wondering for a future project I'm planning.
@ZZZracing ...which 78mm turbo are u running??? I just bought a 7875 .96 a/r turbo from VS Racing ... they claim it's good for 700 h.p. at the rear wheels
@@ReignitedAuto 3200 stall converter. really helped off the line!

My neighbor has a 2007 Chrysler 300c Heritage in Inferno Red Pearl/Cream Leather Interior. The car has 212,000 original miles, but the exterior and interior is like new. Not a ding, dent or faded paint. The car is gorgeous!
In 1982 I was 20 my first Dodge was a 73 4 door Polara with a 360 2bbl the camshaft timing gear went the gear teeth were a plastic resin I think. Anyway got a Chilton manual basic craftsman hand tools and change it myself and that was the first time I done any engine work to a car. Later afterwards I went to Lincoln Tech for auto repair. Dodge changed my life...LOL!
Love hearing this!
Love it. Little under a year with my 2019 charger rt. Got it right after graduation
I think this is a great series as you show old and new school troubleshooting techniques that are really helpful to someone trying to fix cars like this. With regards to this 300C, I would not have purchased this car with all the issues you explained. If the heads or engine bore cannot be fixed, l saw cut you’re losses and get some of you’re $$ back by selling it to the junk yard.
You have a future as a fortune teller Eric 😉
Great episode. I'm in Australia and have an 06 300C with 330000 kilometers on it. Car stills drives great and is tight. Performance is almost like new although the engine is a little noisy at idle, something like timing chain slap. Love these cars enough that I've just bought a MY17 300C SRT Core
That's awesome Colin! 💪
I just bought a 06 jeep Commander for $900. It dropped a valve seat and destroyed the #2 piston and the head. I went to the machine shop to get it bored out but they were so swamped they wouldn't even take the engine. (No room). That engine and sub-frame we're super easy to pull. The hardest thing was lifting the front high enough to slide out the engine and transmission. I used some pallet rack and a chain hoist. Thanks for your hemi videos they are very helpful.
Your profile photo is creeping me out haha! From what I've heard all machine shops are months out right now, it's crazy.
If you are wanting to save as much money as possible then you can just do the “key dance” to get the power train codes to display in the dash. No code reader necessary.
I honestly appreciate this video, gives me motivation bc honestly my income isn’t really high but I love cars and it sucks to have that combination for someone in their early 20s
Thanks for watching!
Really great demonstration of how to use critical thinking to diagnose an automotive issue. Good job!
Thanks for watching!
yes cant wait to see more
The door handles are very very common to come off, I’ve replaced all four of mine because all of them broke off. The side door chrome trim is also common to come off
Really useful channel! It's such hard to find any videos about US cars repairing in russian part of youtube, so you are definitely salvation.
Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for watching!
The cars silver, but I love the rag on Scotto 😂. Also at first it almost looked like it had an egr delete which would've been pretty cool lol
Excellent!
This guy is awesome I have a 09 ram with the hemi and it dropped a valve now I can finally watch a in depth video on how to fix it
ruclips.net/video/nLHXmaJ4lSs/видео.html -
I have a 2010 Charger keep up the build I could learn so much just started college
Definitely check out my budget challenger series, it directly matches your vehicle and the upgrades that are possible!
My dad has the same 06 300C, inherited from his father who put very little miles on it, I think it has like 65k miles on it now. It's in really great shape and damn is that car fast and fun! Also one of my favorite Rams I've had(I've probably had 20 now, I love buying/fixing/driving/selling alittle down the line) was a 2006 Ram 1500 2 door short bed 4wd Hemi, bought from original owner with 240k miles for $2k and that thing ran and drove like brand new the whole time I had it, driving all over the tri-state area. a/c ice cold, it just never needed a thing. I drove home from my wedding in that truck haha
Love it! I'm a sucker for this generation of Hemis.
I pick up a 08 chrysler 300c on 22s really clean interior, TVs on the back of the seats and a really nice touch screen stereo "pioneer"
Same thing when I rebuilt my 300, had the wrong (undersized) battery in it, caused all kinds of random things to happen. I had all those abs/trac codes tho and thats a whole process in itself lol. People do the worst things to these cars so I'd say yours is pretty nice for what it is
I have the same car mine has 250,520 miles on it and I also got it for 1,000 from my dad, but mine has the nicer wheels and one handle was missing one speaker of bad, the headlights were just a little foggy, I did a lot of work on other myself putting the door handle on which was a pain, replacing the speakers and adding more in the back, clearing up the headlights replacing all the bulbs and a tail light that was broken, the only thing for me to do is to replace tires and the oil pressure sensor
I have a 2005 300c for 5 years now and love it no problems yet knock on wood haha
They are very underrated cars, I like them a lot.
You don't need a scanner to check codes on MOPARs with a digital odometer. Flip the key from the ACC position to the ON position in rapid succession 3 times, on the third time leave the key in the ON position, your codes will pop up right on the dash for you.
love the 300c can't wait to watch this series
Thanks for watching!
Not sure if it applies to the 300C, but most of the dodges I've worked on had a "free" OBD2 reader. Engine off. On/Off/On/Off/On. On meaning the click right before start (Not to be confused with accessory). If it has a digital odometer, you'll see the codes e.g. P0400, and eventually if will flash line or done (Can't remember). Learned that from my buddy's dad back in the 80's. I think then, it used blink codes for the SES light, but my memory isn't good enough to be sure.
I don't think this is a good idea, but I'll throw it out there, depending on the oil pan clearance, you could pull the pan, pull off the connecting rod, and push the piston out the top. Of course you might need to rent a ridge reamer. And probably want to run a bottle brush hone to clean it up. But I've even put new bearings in (Rolled them in) leaving the engine in the car. Not easy to do, but if you gotta do it in the driveway or something, it works.
Name? Hopeful Hemi.... or maybe Thousand-dollar-Hemi-power?
You know, I'm honestly not sure if these cars have that capability or not, I'll look into it! Engine is definitely coming out, too much work to try to do it in the car even if you're doing it in the driveway.
@@ReignitedAuto I hear you. I tried it for a while on my truck, but it's very hard to keep it clean when dealing with bearings and stuff. I ended up yanking the engine anyways. Not terrible since it was in a ram 1500.
I got my 07 Chrysler 300c with no engine for 1000 in cali and it’s almost done no body damage,interior is mint.
All 300s are called 300Cs in the UK. Even the diesel.
Also those front wheels were available for the 300c in the UK never seen the rear ones here.
I kind of wish we got the diesel version over here, would be a very interesting build. Thanks for watching!
Ooooo yesss i got a 05 300c imaaa take notess 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Thanks for watching Brian!
I purchased a 2006 300 2 years ago from the Son of the original owner, it was garage kept and still is its entire life, it had 35,000 miles on it then and 41,000 now, The body is almost flawless, Threw a set of tires and a new battery at it had the cooling system flushed just because of the age and the A/C had a bad O ring in one hose end and now runs perfectly. No, it is not the Hemi and thankfully it has the 3.5L V6 instead of the POS 2.4 L V6. Paid 1500.00 for it, the best deal of my life. PS the color is silver same as mine.
Must be a beautiful car! I love these old 300's this is my 4th one, definitely will have more. Thanks for watching! 👍
I bought 05 Dodge Mangum R/T for $2000 so far I've put about 7000 in it including another motor with 58××× miles. I know I definitely would not be able to afford to do a build like this straight out high school back in the day. Nice video!💯
I bought an 06 300c with a 6.4 swap, comp cam, .600" lifters, edelbrock RPM heads, Moroso billet valve covers, hellcat throttle body, 525 flow matched injectors, kooks ceramic short tube headers, 3" high flow bullet converters, 3" borla xr-1 race mufflers, and a corsa intake ALL with 80k miles after reubild for $6,500. Absolutely worth the money for older hemi's.
Dang, that's a deal!
Thank you from KSA.
Thanks for watching Ahmed! 👍
Thank you for your video and pointing out something's to look out for. I'm currently on the fence on picking up a 300c or the SRT version and this video provides me another question to ask the seller if I should decide to pick one up. The reason I am on the fence is because it seems like there are handful of things that the Hemi seems to be notorious for.
Don’t listen to other people. Find the right one, simply. I have an 07 300C and it’s perfect. Inside the engine is spotless, no build up. Transmission is flawless. Everything about it is perfect. Don’t buy one just to be in a rush to get one, find the right one, no wrecks, few owners, no cop car / rental car. I took a chance with mine since it was used as a rental but my engine is the cleanest I’ve seen.
I’ve got a 300c from 05 with 88,000 miles and this video gave me insight on the boats future
door handles are on of the first things to go lol i have a 2008 and i love it
I have 2006 Chrysler 300c 5.7l and the car as of today has 274, 542 miles on it and still running.
They are terrific cars if you take care of them!
See if you can repair the motor , if not 6,1 swap it and do a complete SRT8 Conversion SRT8 Seats Front (black, replace existing ones) also do a odometer swap do a exhaust setup CIA Brembo Breaks Fix the outside damage
FYI guys you can do the key dance to check codes as well
Well buy the most expensive one i bought a 300c 2009 srt8 here in Australia looked for the best one immaculate leather seats are like new owned by 2 older owners only problem i am having is on and off ignition delay but i just love it.
Damn im surprised the engine even ran, they typically don't run after dropping a valve seat
You're not wrong. Stay tuned for Ep 2 for an interesting surprise...
@@ReignitedAuto awesome im excited for this series. I watched the one with the black 300 and the challenger. I also just picked up and 05 300c same color as yours so im excited to see what you do with this 300
@@Dan300 I'll buy yours 😄
@@ReignitedAuto 🤣🤣 I'll think about it
Is there any recommendations to permanently fix the know valve seat issue during a rebuild? Tighter fitting valve seats?
I'd say the scratches and dents by the fuel door would be from children riding their bike along side the vehicle in a narrow drive way. Looks pretty rough but great vid!
Thanks for watching!
I never knew that about the headlights , I don’t remember ever seeing one with the rectangle headlights
I’m looking forward to seeing what happens with this car and name when I see what you do with this car
Amazing buy. I want a 300c too.
They really are cool cars, this is my 4th one, won't be the last...
I bought a Black '07 300 SRT and LOVED that car. Unfortunately, it was such a disaster for parts because when I bought it, EVERYTHING started going on it and I was not in the financial position to go crazy fixing everything . I learned my lesson.
I myself was that average high schooler who had to fix their car. Funny enough I got handed down my moms 2007 300C SRT/Design. Being the stupid teenager I was, I drove the absolute hell out of it and blew the lifters and soon after the transmission and rear diff. My dad and I replaced all 3 without a lift. Engine took a couple months (school and work also) but all in all, it is very possible to restore a hemi or damn near any vehicle without a lift and other things. Maybe more difficult but not impossible.
That's what I love to hear! 💪
never really been a Chrysler guy but wondering are these older hemis more reliable than the newer ones
would love to get a Chrysler 300 as a family hauler
My first car was a motorcycle 🤘🤘
This is going to be a good series.
That's dedication! Even in my youngest days I could never have only a motorcycle for transportation 👍
I have a 08 300 limited. The limited editions come with the 300c front end and sun roof. Those dodge wheels are no different then Chrysler 300 wheels except the emblems.
Appreciate the info! 👍
11:19 the Moment of Truth 💰💰💰
I'm sure that you have seen alot of messed up things concerning old or high mileage cars, but there are always more messed up things to come later if you work on anything long enough.
weird that the valve seat dropped on #1. normally see it in the back 4 cylinders because of the MDS.
I wouldn't be surprised of that whole block is a writeoff.
Don't know if it's been mentioned, but go over that cooling system again. Especially check the fan. Replace if oem. Definitely keep a couple extra door handles too.
You're definitely right about the cooling system for sure!
@@ReignitedAuto the more I watch your videos, the more I remind myself stfu and listen lol. Thanks for the reply. I definitely enjoy the content.
@@tomwells4449 Appreciate you watching!
the 3.5 is always a good option too, obviously not as fun/powerful but for 250hp and 3800lbs she’ll go lmao. personally i think the front end of the v6 looks better since the fog lights have the actual trim piece around it. as long as you do your research you can’t go wrong with these cars unless you get the 2.7 (but that’s just from what i’ve heard) i mean shit like half my front suspension was busted and it was still the smoothest car i’ve driven lmao
im excited for this series. I also purchased this car for about 3k as my first car. Sometimes the oil light turns on and then the steering wheel locks up. any reasons???
Sounds like the car is stalling when that happens, are you having to restart the car afterward?
@@ReignitedAuto my bad i am late but yes i just restart it and it runs perfectly
Just bought a 2005 300c had it for 2 months and now the motor is going out hoping it Just the oil pump but it overheating also blown gasket somewhere
I have the same one with 19k is there anything you would receive to do to the motor? Suspension sucks thinking about upgrading.
I always called mine a "loaf of bread on wheels" since its so big and boxy lol
Challenger and Charger's fenders, front bumper, hood, headlight, and grill replacement can fit your 300c. My friend did that to his 300C because 2015 Charger look cooler on 2006 300c.
I just bought a 2006 Chrysler 300C for $1200 but the engine needs to come out because it was run without oil and probably has bearing damage. Its throwing misfire codes and oil pressure codes. Still runs and drives, but it runs like crap.
I’m looking for one of these to make a lil project out of it
I hope it wont come to the point on replacing the engine nd well lower than a thousand would eventually specify so. And i think that was a good offer
I shoudlve finished watching the video
I'm enthusiastic about this project as I just finished the finance on my Le Hemi , and want to fix it . I'm in Australia , and the charger rims were standard for us here , as for the V6 / Diesel it got the same headlight and bumper as the Hemi .
Very interesting! That's cool you guys were able to get a diesel in the car, since we never could. Was it the 2.8L VM Diesel?
@@ReignitedAuto yes I believe it was , wasn't very popular with V6 and Hemi selling constant.
I noticed that the headlamps are cloudy , I have the same problem , was able to track down new lenses on Alibaba along with the tools and butyl . For the fraction of the price of new units from the dealers
I can’t wait to see more off this build I have the same motor so some performance upgrades would be awesome to see with the pre Eagle hemi motors but this car is solid. Looking forward to this content for sure I love these cars
Thanks Eric! I really like this generation of the Hemi as well.
@@ReignitedAuto ... have u thought about doing the Eagle head ('09 & newer) swap on the early Hemi block ('03-'08)... that's something that I'm interested in doing on my early 5.7

@@ericdavis9992 ...I've researched the Eagle head swap & that one mod alone supposed to be good for 30-40 h.p., not counting long tube headers and a cam swap, if you want to get that far involved with it.... the heads, cam & headers would be good for at least 100 h.p. gain... I'm not sure about the catch can thing though
@@ericdavis9992 ... Richard Holdener tested the Comp HRT Stage2 cam in an early Gen3 hemi and picked up 67 h.p with just a cam swap... that's the cam I'm thinking about getting to use with the Eagle heads... 220°/230° @ .050" duration, .596"/.582" valve lift ...113° lobe separation angle... the Eagle heads flow like 320 cfm @ .600", so I definitely think those heads will work great with that Stage2 HRT cam....
