Not to mention it’s beautiful signature Mustang body and frame with Shelby modifications to let everyone on the road know who’s in charge. Almost like the nameplate on the back of a football player’s jersey.

This baby flaunts a 5.3-liter V-8 Engine with 526 horsepower, not many more ponies needed than that!

2. Dodge Challenger SRT Demon

Some of you out there, although interested in balling out on a sports car, are looking for one to use every day (not just as a hobby car).

If that’s you, then you won’t find many sports cars more justifiable for that purpose than the Dodge Challenger Demon, giving you access to an entertainment system, touch screen, and a heated front leather seats.

Looking for maximum muscle in your sports car? The Demon has 830 horsepower to pick up as fast as your everyday commute will allow.

Pair that pony power up with your favorite tunes, thanks to the awesome speaker system included.

3. Chevy Camaro

Honestly, who  hasn’t  dreamed of owning a Chevy Camaro at some point in their life? Its reputation is so powerful, even Bumblebee from  Transformers wanted to be one.

This year, the Camaro stepped up its game further with a 650-horsepower, ZL1 1LE edition that boasts the  sixth generation of Camaros… a beautiful testament to their legacy.

Not to worry, you’ll still find all the exterior beauty and vehicle reliability you’re accustomed to with all Chevrolet models. The new Camaro adds on its reputation by integrating a new package that pairs perfectly with its classic style.

4. Porche 911

Time to take this article overseas and boast about the modern-yet-classic looking Porche 911.

They say to never mess with a good thing, and Porche takes that to heart by upgrading the legendary model only when necessary. That rear-engine you’ve heard so much about? Still there.

It may surprise you to learn that this beauty shows its edge with up to 450 horsepower and a sleek, wind-resistant model to go with it.

If you’re a foreign car lover and have always wanted one, you can’t go wrong with an “oldy-but-goody” model like the timeless 911.

5. Porche 718 Boxter GTS

Speaking of Porche, if you’re looking for something a bit different than the 911, give the 718 Boxter GTS a glance.

The GTS edition grants you access to a turbocharged 4 cylinder engine and up to 365 horsepower.

If you’re looking for a James Bond-ish convertible with enough power to get you 0 to 60 mph in 4 seconds… The Boxter is where it’s at!

6. Lexus LC

This isn’t your grandfather’s Lexus… the LC shines through a typical Lexus and dawns a futuristic, sporty look that forces everyone to give a second take.

The new design backs those looks up with a 5-liter V8 engine which puffs out more than 450 horsepower and a 10-speed automatic transmission to help you control when this beauty purrs and when it roars!

The best part is, you’re still getting access to Lexus innovation thanks to the hybrid system and fuel-economy. Who says you can’t have it all?

Looking for something with a bit more of a “classy-yet-reserved” sports car vibe? If so, the BMW M2 would fit you quite nicely.

Don’t let that sleek exterior fool you, the M2 is ready to race thanks to its turbocharged engine pushing out 405 ponies whenever you need them.

Now, you can have access to a German-engineered sports car with class all for under six-figures. All those factors make this a match made in Munich heaven for you and your sports car fix.

8. Chevrolet Corvette

Few cars rock the sports-style car trim better than the Corvette, it exudes a combination of sleekness  and sharpness that doesn’t seem possible.

What’s not to like about this classic model? It has fuel efficiency, access to 455 horsepower, seven-speed manual stick-shift if you desire, and a fair price for the amenities you’re receiving.

Want to kick it up a notch at let everyone know how seriously you take your sports cars? Invest in the Stingray edition with a 6.2-Liter V8 engine and 490 horsepower…  yee-haw!

9. Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat

The name alone will be enough to scare family vans off of the road… While the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is often more referred to as a mid-size car, if the insurance is going to claim it as a “sports car” , then you might as well too!

This beautiful sports engine of mass destruction gives you a 6.2-Liter V8 Engine (just like the Corvette Stingray) with over 700 horsepower… Good Lord.

Better yet, it flaunts a bigger frame than your average sports car and gives you a feeling of domination on the road. Nothing like having the size to match the speed of your new sports car!

3 Classic Car Upgrades that Make Sense

Classic car upgrades remain a sore subject with many purists. These are the kind of folks that believe in keeping

Classic car upgrades remain a sore subject with many purists. These are the kind of folks that believe in keeping a vintage automobile in original condition. Although I respect these people and their beliefs the act of keeping every nut and bolt issued from the factory isn’t right for everyone.

Many vintage car owners want to drive their investment rather than keeping it in a perpetual state of storage. As for me, I prefer to drive my automobile to the car show. Furthermore, I want to enjoy the ride and arrive at the auto show safely. In order to achieve these lofty goals some of the original parts on my personal classic car required an upgrade.

When I perform these classic car upgrades I concentrated on safety, but I also considered the overall reliability of my muscle car. Not only did I want to arrive at a car show safely, but when things wrapped up I wanted to get in and have it fire right up to take me home. Nothing ruins an amazing day like having to call a tow truck to drag your classic car back to home base. So let’s get into three classic car upgrades that make sense from a reliability and safety standpoint.

Classic Car Upgrades to the Charging System

One of the best classic car upgrades I performed on my 1970 Dodge Charger was the modernization of the charging system. From the factory the mighty Mopar came with a 45 amp alternator. These types of low output units make your headlights appear brown at idle. Although these muscle car era alternators remain a major upgrade over the generators installed in the early 1960s, they still leave a lot to be desired.

Not only did my classic car upgrades include an 80 amp output alternator, but I also got rid of the external voltage regulator. Even if your late 60s or early 70s muscle car came from the factory with an alternator, you probably still have an external regulator. It wasn’t until the mid-1970s when vehicle manufacturers started moving the voltage control function inside the alternator case. When an externally mounted voltage regulator develops issues it can limit the voltage output. It can also fail in the opposite direction.

This is when the voltage regulator fails to limit the charge heading back towards the battery. In this situation the battery will overcharge. And overcharge scenario boils away the water and acid fluid covering the lead plates. Symptoms of voltage regulator problems include a consistently dead battery and headlights that appear dim at idle. In an overcharging situation you can often hear a gurgling from the battery. You can find more information about this subject from this great article about charging system diagnosis and repair . With that said, charging system upgrade kits abound for popular muscle cars like the Chevrolet Chevelle and Chevy Camaro .

Upgrade the Classic Car Master Cylinder

If you’ve ever driven an automobile built in the 50s and 60s you know that these cars don’t stop like modern automobiles. This can become a dangerous situation. When you’re driving behind a modern car you need to allow extra space because of their ability to stop in half the distance as you. In an emergency situation this may not be enough.

When you talk about vintage automobile braking systems and master cylinders you generally find two types. A single reservoir master cylinder is often found on older cars that use four wheel drum brakes. This single chamber design uses one fluid reservoir to supply brake pressure to all four wheels.

The problem with this setup is when a brake fluid leak occurs. Obviously, if the fluid leaks out you lose braking at all four wheels. As the 60s rolled on, car makers faced increasingly strict safety standards. Therefore, these American car manufacturers improved brake designs by adding disc brakes to the front. This provided an opportunity to use a dual chamber master cylinder.

The dual chamber design utilized the smaller part of the brake fluid reservoir to feed the wheel cylinders for the rear drum brakes. The larger master cylinder chamber provides fluid for the front disc brake calipers. A dual chamber master cylinder allows the front and rear hydraulic braking systems to act independently of each other. Now, in the scenario of a hydraulic brake fluid leak on the front brakes, the driver can still use the rear brakes to slow the vehicle. And this is why a master cylinder upgrade makes my top 3 list of classic car upgrades.

Upgrade to Front Disc Brakes

Drum brakes ruled the roads during the 50s and 60s. These cars didn’t stop well. However, at least all of the automobiles on the road at that time stopped in the same total distance. The invention of antilock braking systems cuts the stopping distance in half when compared to a vintage automobile. For this reason it’s recommended that classic car owners improve the braking system for regularly driven classic automobiles.

One of the quickest ways to achieve this lofty goal is to convert the front drum brakes of your car to a disc brake system. This often requires the upgrade of the master cylinder as mentioned above. You can also add a vacuum operated power brake booster that multiplies the brake pedal pressure from the driver. Fortunately, this is one of those classic car upgrades that remain extremely popular.

Aftermarket companies offer all inclusive part kits to perform the upgrade efficiently. In fact, Entire businesses have grown to support disc brake conversion . Basic conversion kits that include a master cylinder and front disc conversion start in the $500 price range. When you add a vacuum operated power brake booster it pushes the price into the $800 range. Considering that this can save major damage to a significant investment and maybe even save a life, the money would seem well spent.

Unfortunately, if you have poor or little credit, you may not be able to get a traditional loan at all. You may need to find a co-signer or find a dealership that offers low-credit loans to customers. However, low-credit loans often come with high-interest rates.

It may be wise to spend a few months improving your credit score before buying your next Ram truck. 

2. The Costs

When looking at Ram trucks for sale, you also need to consider  all  the costs involved when buying a new vehicle. Start with the monthly payments on your loan. You need to find a contract that gives you a comfortable payment – one you can make easily each month. 

Secondly, you need to think about other vehicle-related expenses. Are you in a state with a sale’s tax? If so, are you accounting for that in your total loan amount?

Car ownership also demands monthly auto insurance payments and yearly vehicle registration fees to the state. Finally, don’t forget about regular maintenance costs, fuel, and random repairs.

3. New, Used, or Certified Pre-Owned

When looking at  Ram trucks for sale , you have three primary options – new, used, or certified pre-owned. If you’re looking for a 2020 Ram truck, you’ll obviously be shopping for a brand new vehicle. These are top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art trucks that possess the coveted new car smell.

However, this may not agree with everyone’s budget.

You can go the route of buying used which has its benefits, such as lower costs. However, when buying used, you typically don’t get any warranties and are dealing with older technology and driver/safety features. If you buy from a private seller, you also don’t have much buyer-protection.

There is a middle ground, however, in the realm of certified pre-owned vehicles. CPOs are mildly used vehicles that are only a few years old. They’ve been refurbished to a like-new condition and are given new warranties from the manufacturer or dealership.

4. Features

Next, Dodge Ram trucks come with a lot of features, some are included in the base model, others are not. You’ll need to decide what comfort, luxury, and convenience features are important to you before choosing your truck. 

These include things like smart device integration so you can pair your phone or other mobile devices with the onboard head unit. There are also driver assistance features such as parking sensors and cameras, emergency communication systems, navigation, automatic braking, and more.

Finally, think about comfort and luxury, such as heated/cooled seats, automatic/dual temperature control, keyless entry, and more. Look into the different Ram truck packages to find that one that best suits your needs and your budget.

5. Performance

Of course, when buying a pickup truck, performance is an important consideration. If you plan on using your pickup for work and require a truck that can bear a lot of weight in the bed, you need to think about hauling capacity. This can help you determine how big of a truck bed you need as well.

Similarly, you need to consider the truck’s towing ability. If you plan on towing trailers, campers, boats, or other vehicles, you need to know what your truck is cable of. Ram trucks have towing capacities ranging from 6,000 to 30,000 pounds.

6. Cab Size

Next, think about the daily needs of your truck in terms of passengers and passenger comfort. What size of a cab do you need?

If you have a small family, you may only need an extended cab. If you have a bigger family or will often be transporting more than yourself and another passenger, you may want to consider getting a crew cab. There’s also the mega cab option for those looking for maximum interior space.

7. Fuel Type and Efficiency

Ram trucks come with various fuel options. You have the option of diesel or regular gasoline -there are pros and cons to each.

Currently, gasoline is cheaper in most states than diesel. However, gas and diesel prices are constantly fluctuating and this isn’t always the case.

Additionally, diesel proves to be more efficient, offering several more miles per gallon. That being said, Ram trucks with diesel engines are typically a few thousand dollars more expensive than their gasoline counterparts.

8. Warranties

Next, let’s look at warranties. When buying a car of any kind, manufacturer warranties are vital to your peace of mind. Though, as mentioned above, if you’re buying a used Ram truck a warranty may not be an option. 

New Ram trucks, on the other hand, typically come with a basic bumper-to-bumper warranty covering the majority of your parts and systems for 36 months or 36,000 miles. There’s also a 60-month or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty that covers the major mechanical components. Lastly, you get roadside assistance and a corrosion warranty for 60 months.

9. Trade-In

Finally, you need to consider your own vehicle’s trade-in value if you’re shopping at Ram truck dealers. We recommend researching your vehicle’s trade-in value in advance to make sure you’re getting a fair deal. 

Trading in your current vehicle may be a great way to offset the costs, lower your interest rate, and get lower monthly payments.

Thinking About Buying a Ram Truck?

Are you considering buying a new Ram truck soon? If so, keep this article handy to make sure you’ve taken everything into consideration. Remember, buying a vehicle is a big investment that can impact your life for years to come.

A Beginner’s Guide To The Best Muscle Cars Of All Time

Do you love speed and powerful engines? Then, you will definitely love Americans muscle cars. Coined in 1949 due to

Do you love speed and powerful engines? Then, you will definitely love Americans muscle cars. Coined in 1949 due to the demand for a fast car, muscle cars have become one of Americas most loved cars. The 1960s and 1970s saw the creation of some of the best muscle cars of all time.

These cars are still on the road till now with even more surprisingly powerful engines, better horsepower, and speed. If you are looking for a muscle car, read one as we look into some of the best muscle cars.

1. Ford Mustang

Ford created the first Mustang in 1964 with an aim to build a coupe car for younger professionals. The Mustangs have undergone a series of transformation from the first to the fifth generation.

The latest generation of the Mustang is the biggest design and you can either love it or hate it but Mustang Shelby GT350 and GT 500 are very high-performing machines.

The modern Mustang has a much more sophisticated look and is also very powerful with a standard 310-horse turbocharged four-cylinder engine, a roaring V8 and 10-speed optional automatic engine. There is more to this car that will make you want to own it.

2. Chevrolet Camaro

After the success of the ford mustang, Chevy unveiled the first Camaro. It was based on an F-body platform and offered no less than three six-cylinder engines and four V8s. A longer and wider Camaro was then introduced in 1970. The fifth generation Camaro was later introduced in 2010 with a better body and an even better performing engine.

These car series even though designed to compete with the Mustang has come to stand out on its own and the Camaros are now more of pony cars than muscles cars but are classified and loved by Americans as muscle cars no less.

You do not need to worry about insurance because you can get reliable cheap car insurance for it.

3. Dodge Challenger

This muscle car made its debut in 1970 and it had a longer wheelbase and a much more spacious cabin. Several other challengers were later introduced over the years but the oil crisis crippled the sales of the muscle cars and this lead to the early retirement of this car in 1974.

The challenger made its way back in the 70s and 80s as the Mitsubishi Galant but was not received well. In 2008 the challenger made its way back and this 3rd generation challenger has soldiered on and so far has had a number of stylistic updates.

If you are looking to buy this muscle car, the current challenger will be one of your best choices given to its retro design. It is very fast and has a 797 horsepower supercharged V8 engine.

4. Chevrolet Corvette

Introduced in 1963, this car was a rear drive, two-door convertible and it was very stylish and high-performing. It featured four-wheel disc brakes, optional side exhaust pipes, a big block, and a 6.5 liter V8.

The third generation of the Chevy introduced in 1968 was even better than the first. This muscle car has gotten even better with time and the C6 generation that was produced from 2005-2013 and has better handling and is a much-loved sports car.

Today you can get the angular beast Corvette with a manual transmission if that’s your style. Get ready to experience this legendary ZR1 supercar with a 755 horsepower and a top speed of 212 MPH.

5. Dodge Viper Muscles Cars

The dodge viper arrived in the muscle car scene in 1991 but it is one of the famous cars in America. If you want a luxurious muscle car, the dodge viper will be an ideal choice. Even though the first series of vipers lacked air conditioning this later changed with the second generation of vipers in 1996 with power windows, A/C, airbags, power door locks, and even a much more chiseled look.

Another generation of the Viper was introduced in 2013 and it is more modern and accommodating than any other viper before. This car has been in the market for 25 years and it is one of the best classics.

6. Pontiac GTO

Transformed from the Pontiac Tempest in 1964, the GTO had a better body and was better performing than the Tempest. It also borrowed a little bit from the Ferrari. This muscle car was an instant hit and GM improved its performance over the years. However, in 1974, its sales went down forcing its production to stop.

Pontiac then relaunched this car in 2004 and it came back even better than before but its design did not really appease to the consumer. Though you will not be able to find a new Pontiac because 2006 was the last year it was produced you can still buy it from its original owners.

7. Plymouth Barracuda

Initially known as the Cuda, this car was not as special at first and did not have a competitive chance. In 1967, the second generation Plymouth was introduced and it had responded to the need of the market. The model was much more aggressive with a V8 motor and better handling.

1970 was the year of the 3rd generation and it was ready to take its drivers to breathe away. It had three V8 engines and was on its way to muscle cars success.

The energy crisis in 1970 hugely impacted the sales of the barracuda and eventually retired it, but if you get your hands on it, it is one of the best classic cars that you can have.

Consider Buying Any One of These Muscle Cars Because They Are One of the Best Cars That You Can Own

It is very difficult to choose an American muscle car because they are all very strong and have a lot to offer in terms of performance and style.

These models are fast, sharped and better designed. These cars have both high and low performing options but if you want to feel the real American muscle cars, then the high performing option is your ideal choice.

As the title states, I  have a PDF version of the service manual. I own it as I payed for it many years ago. I would like to share it but wonder if some one already post it.

The size is big around 250mb. Very extensive around 5630 pages each in 55 chapters covering all engines and trans.

I've only been around here for about 2 years, but have not seen any manuals posted into the forum here or for that matter none of the other model specific sites I also particpater on. That would be a BIG helpto me seeing I have an '11 and a '14 to now keep up maint./repair on. Electrical /wiring and trans/AWD would be most beneficial for me.. 

 That you are willing to offer is a VERY NICE gesture if such is capable on the forum! 

great I'll figure a way to upload it.

@mojo thank you very much for sharing this with us. Amazing! Love my journey, is my 2nd and If the Model hadn't died for Dodge North America, I wouldn't think of buying a 3rd when required. I would love for them to bring the version that is sold today in its place by Dodge México... I will miss the 2 extra seats in the back, but I would continue with Journeys!

Great resource!  I saw that there is a chapter (20) on the standard transmission.  Was that available in cars destined to stay in Mexico?  Where else?  (I still distrust automatics.)

The Mexican Journey is the Chinese Trumpchi with a Dodge Badge on the grill. It may be a fine car but it’s a much different car. To me the old Journey was right sized. Roomy, good sight line without being too tall, big doors, long wheelbase. Good while it lasted. 

Thanks for the manual mojo.

Thank you Mojo! Does anyone have instructions on how to remove the catalytic converter on bank 1 (fire wall) for a 2014 dodge journey SXT 3.6L AWD? I did get the bolts off and detached the catalytic converter from the motor and the exhaust but I couldn't seem to remove it. The catalytic converter seems to hit the front right drive shaft and the cross under pipe. I'm hoping that If I remove the cross under pipe that I'll have enough space to pull the catalytic converter out from the bottom. Anybody have any suggestions? 

Outrageously helpful resource to have! Thank you so much for sharing.

Thank you. Thank you Thank you. Found timing chain section well informative. Lots more to learn.

Enjoyed the chapters in this service manual however I have not been able to find the page other then where: "the headliner is dropped to the seats"  in a step by step process 23- Body/Interior HEADLINER-removal/

Typing "Headliner" I get over 200 pages to check

I'm asking,  are both sun shields, four ceiling hand grips, plastic covers at A pillars, . . . ,headliner console, DVD screen console, headliner  vents removal  seems alot to remove to replace four sunroof drain tubes that I suspect are either frozen with water/dirt and plugged and back up water into Map light console.

:Drop down the headliner as necessary to gain access to the drain hoses (Refer to 23 - Body/Interior/HEADLINER - Removal) . 1.  2. Disconnect the front hoses (2) from the sunroof assembly (1). 3. Release the support clips (3) and disconnect the lower grommet and remove the hose. Disconnect the rear hoses (2) from the sunroof assembly (1) and release the support clips (3). 4.  5. Separate the remaining support clips (1). 6. Disconnect the grommet (2) from the body (3) and remove the rear hoses as necessary.

(Page 2230)Dodge Journey  Service Manual 2012-2016 by Mojo, Jul 31, 2022 in Maintenance and D.Y.I. 

Found Headliner removal location in service manual provided.(page 1526)

How do you go about removing the plastic trim pieces so I do not damage them.

DVD player was not mentioned in removal or installation process

I’m pretty sure no one removes their car  interior to unplug sunroof track drain vents. Look at this clip most of them are similar set up.

It would be like removing your engine to change spark plugs. Get a hair dryer to unfreeze the crap plugging up the lines, or work in a heated garage if needed. Piece of whipper sniper line and maybe compressed air if really bad, use low pressure if possible.

What about a 3.5 liter engine in a 2009 journey?
