  Long term reliability of HTRAC AWD transfer case due to inability to change the transfer case fluid?

  By ThoughtfulOne

  A few days ago, I saw this post on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/cars/comments/aqflbu Anyways, before you read on, I would like you to read the post. The AWD transfer case appears to be sealed and cannot be serviceable. The Magna Actimax when used on the BMW xDrive appears to have been known for failures. It is looking like there may be issues down the road for the Genesis HTRAC versions, as they use this case. Anyways, the original poster was a Hyundai tech, and I've interacted with him... Read more

  Opinions on "Beak Era" Darts

  By Swept Wing Dodge

  I have never cared much for the 73 and later Darts,but someone has offered me a clean running driving one for a decent price and am considered it. Its a 1974. What is the general consensus on the "beaked" cars. Did the build quality decline during this era,any issues with the smog era stuff? This one is a 2dr hardtop. Slant and has air. Supposedly runs perfectly but the elderly owner wants it gone and has a Honda now.

  Newbie from Columbia MO

  By Roadcrew

  Greetings! I've always been a fan of the 70s and older Mopars. I appreciate sexy bodies! I can turn a wrench if need be but would rather be driving! I currently have a 2014 Challenger R/T (100 Anniversary, 6 speed, High Octane Red) that typically only comes out on weekends. I thought I'd put out some feelers for a 74 Satellite Regent Wagon and see what's going on here!

  Looking for Floating Drum and Separate Hub 69 Charger

  By Mopar440-man

  I’ve got a 69 Dodge Charger RT. The left hand side has the original factory pressed drum and hub as one piece and on the right hand side it’s a split floating drum where the hub stays on the spindle and drum comes off separately which I prefer as it’s easier to service the brakes. Does anyone know where I’d find just a left side drum and hub for that setup? I can’t find any single ones available as most people want to sell as a pair. Please see photos below for reference. This is what is... Read more

  Driving in the Rain

  By Camel 111

  First let me say it is not my wish to drive in the rain, however this past Thursday I had no choice but to drive my 71 Dart in the rain for about 200 miles. The good news is that she made it. The bad news is that there was some/a lot of leakage under the dash. For most of the trip there was a light steady rain and I noticed that the floor mats were getting a little wet. Then we hit a point where it was a driving rain that put everyone driving to 30 mph (highway driving). During this portion... Read more

  BMW i3 Heavy steering issue.

  By Markymark

  Hi All I bought a BMW i3 recently. On a 2015 plate 20000 miles on the clock full BMW service history. I really like the car. However it's got a heavy steering proplem. I've taken it to BMW for a diagnostic check. They had the car for an hour and said, we have checked everything and it must be the steering rack, at a cost of £3600 pounds. Can anyone please advise me regarding this issue. The more I look into the issue, the more I get frustrated, it could be loads of things. I've done... Read more
