So having fixed the TIPM issue, I've been looking forward for other repairs this car may need.

I bought the car with 173k and since then I have replaced:

- front rotors and pads- Rear drums shoes wheel cylinders- front struts- inner & outer tie rods- ball joints- Alternator- starter- water pump (pulley seized and threw the belt off)- coolant manifold and temp sensor (was leaking)- LF, LR and RF wheel hubs- spark plugs- #1 ignition coil (misfire code)- TIPM replacement- serp belt (w/ water pump replacement- power steering return line
other items I plan to service soon:
- cv axles- RF wheel hub- rear struts- possibly motor mounts? Undecided- power steering pump & pressure line- calipers?

I don't know how much longer I will need this car. I am looking for a replacement but until then I want it to be safe and reliable. If anyone thinks I should investigate elsewhere on this car let me know.

 

Trans fluid is probably overdue. Give a look at the owners manual for maintenance requirements. If you don't have one, download it from chrysler.com. If you decide to replace calipers, change the brake fluid.
