Your Chrysler's engine needs oxygen just as much as it needs gasoline to function. As it draws in air, the air filter prevents dust, sand, and other airborne contaminants from entering. Over time, the filter naturally begins to clog up, at which point the inflow of oxygen becomes reduced, and your engine can run into problems. The following are seven signs that it's time to visit your local Chrysler dealer for a new car air filter. Is It Time to Replace Your Car Air Filter? Reduced Gas Mileage When airflow becomes restricted by an aging filter, the fuel-air mixture in your combustion chambers becomes unbalanced. This leads to less efficient usage of fuel, and you'll soon find that a full tank of gas doesn't get you as far as it should. So if your fuel efficiency is dropping, the first thing to check should be your engine's air filter. more Rough Idling When restricted airflow unbalances the fuel-air mixture, you end up with excess unburned fuel in your combustion chambers. This unburned fuel covers the spark plugs with soot, causing them to struggle, especially when you're sitting idle. While idling, a Chrysler's engine should be purring softly and comfortably. If you notice it sputtering, coughing, or stalling altogether, take a look at your filter. It might need replacing. Black Smoke When you have excess, unburned fuel as a result of a clogged-up filter, that unburned fuel needs to escape somehow. It often does so in the form of black smoke pouring out of your exhaust. So if you ever see black smoke behind your car, the problem might be something as simple as an old air filter. Grimy, Blackened Filter The best way to know if you need a new filter is to check it with your own eyes. You'll find your filter inside a large, squarish black box called the cold air collector box, which is near the front of your engine compartment. The filter inside is rectangular and pleated. Take the filter out and check in between the pleats to see if any parts of it are significantly blocked by a build-up of dirt and grime. Blinking "Check Engine" Light The computerized monitors in your engine will pick up problems that result from a clogged air filter. When this happens, you'll see the "check engine" light come on. It's best not to ignore this warning, as it might indicate a blocked air filter, or it might be pointing to an even more serious issue. 15,000 to 30,000 Miles Have Passed It's generally recommended that Chrysler drivers have their filters changed every 15,000 to 30,000 miles. So if you've reached 15,000 miles since your last filter change, it's best to get a new one, even if you can't yet see signs of trouble. Driving conditions make a big difference in how often you need to replace your filter. If you're regularly driving in heavy traffic, on dusty roads, or in a hot climate, then your filter will be working a lot harder. As a result, you'll need a new one more often. Annual Servicing at Your Chrysler Dealer To ensure you never forget to change your filter, it's a good rule of thumb to have it replaced once a year. You can simply coincide this with your yearly engine diagnostic and checkup at your local dealership. To have your filter checked and replaced by friendly, experienced technicians, visit Tom O'Brien Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Indianapolis. We're a popular local dealership that always puts customer satisfaction first and foremost.

Most of the crew sadly lost their lives due to the sinking of the ship and exposure to the elements while waiting for rescue. The Memorial is built from limestone and granite and features a raised picture of the ship. A list of all the names of the servicemen who were lost and the names of the survivors are carved into the surface at the rear of the Memorial.

Don't Drive a Damaged Car If you've just gotten into an accident and your vehicle miraculously still drives, the best thing you can do for it is to pretend that it doesn't. The worst thing you can do for your vehicle after an accident is to continue to drive on it. It has financial and safety repercussions. more Even if the vehicle has the ability to go, it is inadvisable to operate it as it could exacerbate damage and make things harder to fix.

Ask questions about the damage so that you can ensure you understand what will be done to repair your vehicle, and why it is necessary. You can also ask to hear from prior references or hear about other similar damages and similar vehicles that the mechanic has worked on. This can be a great way to get to know the person who will be handling your vehicle and to understand if they feel comfortable taking on this type of damage. 4. Opt for Chrysler Expertise Try to work with professionals who have experience directly with the make and model of the vehicle that you drive. While all mechanics can perform the job, the best candidate is one who is intimately familiar with the specific way that your car is built.

Replacing your Dodge parts when they are worn out boosts performance, improves fuel economy, prolongs your car's life, and most importantly, promotes your safety while on the road. There are many places you can take your car for repair and parts replacement, but here are several reasons to choose an authorized dealership: 5 Reasons You Should Go to an Authorized Dealership for Dodge Parts Replacement 1. OEM Parts Just like with vehicles, authorized dealerships get their parts directly from the manufacturer. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts are designed by the same engineers that created the parts your car came with. Since these parts are made with your specific car model in mind, they are a perfect replacement and fit. more They do not require any modification or adjustment to work properly, though that is often the case with many generic parts sold at regular auto repair shops. While some people may consider aftermarket parts to save on replacement costs, they often spend more in the end because those parts do not offer the quality and reliability found in OEM parts. 2. Dodge-Trained Technicians All technicians receive training to help them diagnose and address technical and mechanical failures in different types of cars. In addition to this general training, technicians at authorized dealerships receive additional training and regular updates from the automaker. This ensures the technicians have an in-depth knowledge of all aspects of your vehicle, allowing them to detect some problems that a general mechanic might miss. Additionally, since they spend their day doing replacements and repairs on other Dodge cars, they can replace damaged parts in minutes, ensuring minimal interference in your schedule. 3. Safeguards the Warranty The warranty helps you take care of your car by covering some repair and maintenance services for a specified period. However, it comes with certain terms and conditions. Failure to meet these conditions can void your warranty, preventing you from enjoying the covered services. Some of the things that can void your warranty include damages caused by generic parts or those suffered at an unauthorized auto repair shop. Since dealerships use OEM parts and have certified technicians, you do not have to worry about violating the warranty terms. 4. Special Tools and Equipment Each year, automakers include additional technological features and mechanical parts to ensure they meet their customer's ever-changing demands. Technological and mechanical hardware is prone to wear and tear or failure. While many regular repair centers have the necessary tools to replace general parts, a significant number do not have tools to diagnose the failure and replace some of Dodge's unique parts. Authorized dealerships have the tools and equipment to help replace even the most delicate and unique parts. 5. Service History Record Dealerships keep a record of all replacements and adjustments made on your car. A clear service history record helps you fetch a higher price when you sell your car, helps the dealership remind you of scheduled maintenance, and can get you lower insurance rates. Taking your Dodge to an authorized dealership gives you access to certified mechanics, OEM parts, and special tools and equipment. Dealerships also help you preserve your warranty and keep a detailed service history record. Visit Tom O'Brien Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram Plano in Indianapolis, IN, for all your replacements and repairs.

When a car battery is weak or failing, all sorts of electric issues pop up, it will be hard to start your vehicle, and before you know it, your car will not start at all. Below are ways to tell if it's time to get a new car battery from your Chrysler dealer before you get stranded. Is It Time for Your Chrysler to Get a New Car Battery From Your Chrysler Dealer? Your Battery Is Old Batteries have a limited life cycle. In general, a car battery can last anything from three to six years. Over time batteries deteriorate, become weak, and fail. When a battery is three years old, have it tested regularly to determine if it still holds a sufficient charge and requires a replacement. You want to replace the battery before your electronic accessories start giving problems, or it becomes difficult to start your car. more You're Struggling With Electric Issues When your car battery loses charge and becomes weak, it will trigger your car's battery or check engine light due to the fluctuation in voltage. Your dashboard lights and headlights will be dim, the power windows and windshield wipers will move slower, and your radio, heated seats, or sunroof might not work at all. When you see a dashboard warning light is on, get your car checked out by a qualified technician as soon as you can to avoid a breakdown. You Notice a Build-Up Around the Terminals It's best to ask your technician to inspect your battery. If you see a white substance on top of the battery around the metal connections, the build-up will cause voltage issues, making it hard to start your car. You can quickly get rid of the build-up by brushing it off with a solution of water and baking soda. If the corrosion has already caused damage, you need a battery replacement. It's Difficult To Start Your Car When you have a problem starting your car, it could be due to a weak battery. When the engine is cranking slower than usual and takes longer to start, a malfunctioning alternator that is not properly recharging the battery could also be the culprit. To determine if it's the battery or the alternator causing the problem, try to jump-start your car. If it keeps running after the jump-start, your battery is weak. If you need a jump-start more than once a week to get your vehicle going, it's best to replace the battery before your car doesn't start at all. The Battery Case Is Damaged Extreme hot or cold temperatures could cause damage to the battery case. The case could become misshapen or even crack. Replace a battery ASAP when the case is swollen, warped, or cracked to avoid leaking chemicals from eating away at other components under the hood. You Smell a Sulfurous Odor If you pop your head under the hood and you smell a sulfurous odor, much like the horrible smell of rotten eggs, your battery is damaged or overcharged. Leaks could form when a battery is bloated, cracked, or old, releasing hydrogen sulfide. Not only does it smell awful, but the chemical leak will also cause corrosion that could damage engine components. Act fast and replace the battery to avoid expensive repairs. Don't ignore battery problems to avoid electric issues and breakdowns. Inspect and get your battery tested regularly. If you experience battery issues, visit Tom O'Brien CJDR - Indianapolis today for a battery test and a range of high-quality batteries.

Your alternator is a relatively simple component, but it is a critical part of your vehicle. It is powered by the turning of the crankshaft, and it turns this mechanical power into electrical energy. This energy is used to charge your battery and power all of the electrical devices in your Chrysler. An alternator has a finite life, and when it starts to fail you need to see your Chrysler dealer for an alternator repair. How to Tell When You Need To See Your Chrysler Dealer for an Alternator Repair Damaged or Misaligned Belts The serpentine belt, also known as the alternator belt, drives several devices in your engine including the alternator, the water pump, and the power steering pump. As the belt moves, it spins pulleys attached to each of these devices and powers them. The belt is made from tough, reinforced rubber and moves continuously as you drive. Although the belt is tough, the constant tension and movement can cause it to wear down. If the belt frays, it will work less efficiently. The belt can also partially slip off one of the pulleys, or one of the pulleys can jam and disrupt the belt. If you pop the hood, you can visually inspect your belt and any damage will be easy to see. Our technicians can install a new belt if it's damaged, or if there is a problem with one of the pulleys we can fix that too. more A Weird Smell A damaged or misaligned belt will still move, but it will create more friction than it was designed to. This friction causes the belt to heat up, and this produces a burning rubber smell which also signals that the belt is taking extra damage. An electrical fire smell from the engine means that the belt is slipping and needs to be correctly reset on one of the pulleys. Our technicians will check the tension on the belts, their overall condition, and look for signs of a misaligned belt. We can replace the belt if necessary, but the belt may simply need to be reset and tensioned correctly. A serpentine belt is inexpensive, and our service department always has replacements available. Damaged or Loose Wiring Your engine contains numerous wires and cables that transmit power from the alternator to all the peripheral devices that require it. Cables can fray due to wear, and this will affect the supply of power in your car. A wire can also loosen due to movement and this can also disrupt the electrical supply. Damage or loose wiring is not always easy to spot, but our highly-trained technicians have the best technology available to trace any electrical supply problem. If you have strange noises or noises from your engine, or something just doesn't feel right, call our service center at Tom O'Brien CJDR - Indianapolis. Our experts will be happy to answer any questions you may have, and we can speedily find and repair any problem with your vehicle.

If you suspect you need a radiator repair, it's important to visit your Chrysler dealer immediately. Your radiator helps to control the engine temperature and prevent your car from overheating. An engine is very hot naturally due to the heat given off by combustion and constant moving parts. When you add a hot summer sun to the mix, your engine certainly needs to keep cool. These are some of the reasons you need to get your radiator checked. Do You Need a Radiator Repair at Your Chrysler Dealer? Damaged Radiator Tubes When your engine temperature rises, coolant is released to reduce the temperature. Coolant is a mix of antifreeze and water, and as it travels through your engine it absorbs the heat. This hot coolant is pumped under pressure into the radiator where it will be cooled. The liquid enters the radiator and flows into thin tubes, and air from the radiator grille blows over the pipes to reduce the temperature of the liquid. more The thin tubes are designed to carry hot liquid under pressure, but they are also delicate. Debris lying on the road can be drawn into the radiator grille, and this debris can strike the tubes and damage them. If enough of the tubes are damaged or bent, your radiator will have increasing difficulty in cooling your engine. You can check for signs of damage by looking through the grille, and if the tubes are damaged contact our service department. A Damaged Thermostat The supply of coolant in your engine is controlled by the thermostat. When the engine reaches a predetermined temperature of between 180º F and 195º F, the valve opens and releases coolant. As the coolant flows through your engine and reduces the temperature, the thermostat will start to close. A thermostat can fail, and if it does it can jam in an open or closed position. If the thermostat jams open, it will continue to supply coolant even when it is not required and your engine will operate inefficiently. A closed thermostat will not release coolant at all, and your engine temperature will start to rise uncontrollably. The rising temperature can cause serious damage to your engine. The good news is our technicians and easily replace the thermostat. Leaking Coolant A coolant leak is usually easy to spot. Coolant is available in yellow, green, or pink, and if you find a pool of this liquid under your car you definitely have a coolant leak. The cooling system operates under high temperature and high pressure, and a loose hose clip, a worn hose, or damage to the radiator can all cause this liquid to leak out. Our technicians will investigate, and we can perform a pressure test to find and identify the source of the leak. If the problem is a damaged radiator, we can quickly replace it for you. To protect your engine from serious damage, if you think you have a radiator problem call us immediately at Tom O'Brien CJDR - Indianapolis.
