Only on the rear? Consider your ability to turn and stop also. Those tires are recommended on all 4 corners because of turning and stopping. I would experiment with the TC off technique in an area free of cars and solid objects! These cars will bring the rear end out on DRY pavement if you hit the gas hard with TC off. Good luck to ya!

power flush by roma3

I have a 2005 c with 17k miles.
Dealer recommends an engine power flush. Heated envirolution ( spelled correctly ) detergent solution. The solution is introduced into the engine through the oil filler port and removed through the crankcase.
If memory serves running cleaning fluid through the main bearings in a bad practice .
Has anyone ever heard of this process.

Some tips for you snow bunnies
1. If you don't know how to drive in snow use ESP
    or better yet stay home.
2. If you do know how to drive in snow shut off
    ESP and stay alert to what the cars doing.
3. AWD with snow or A/T tires are best. W/O snow
    or A/T's 2nd best.
4. RWD with snows or A/T ok (4 position better
    then 2, W/O them stay home.
5. With RWD if you have to drive PUT SOME WEIGHT
    IN THE TRUNK ! ! 200# will do nicely, sand
    bags, kitty litter, your MIL.
6. Yes a FWD car will GO better than RWD but a RWD
    will STOP better. Just drop your gears down.
    Try that with a FWD (360)! !
7. The weight over the drive wheels, gradual
    Accel & Decel, tire tread & common sense are
    the snow driving keys.
8. And finally (not to bore you anymore) take the
   car to an empty parking lot in the snow and do
   some 360's, starts, stops, etc. I did just
   that with my 300 and with original tires,
   weight in the trunk it does fine in the
   snow. Also looks great.

Why in the world would a dealer want to power flush an engine with only 17k on it?
 
Have you had any problems with the engine?
 
Sounds like a dealer get rich scheme to me.

Agreed.
 
Somehow I suspect that if one checks the Owners' Manual, they would find that no such maintenance is recommended or required. Unless the dealership can show a document from DC (such as a service bulletin) explicitly spelling out such a maintenance procedure, then it is a "Dealer get rich scheme."
 
Best Regards,
Shipo

A magazine reporter is looking to photograph an Edmunds.com user and his/her car in Northern California by Friday, March 4, 2005. If you are in the area and care to participate, please reply to jfallonedmunds.com with the name of your city as well as the month and year when you bought your most recent car after researching it on Edmunds.com.

For Rims, try Wykoff-mopar-parts or check the messages in accessories forum ...
 
How did you find out standard features and options for '06 models? I've ordered an '06 but we're guessing at '05 options ...

You might want to check previous posts; I believe I read somewhere (here or another 300 or Dodge Magnum site) that the RWD wheels will not work on the AWD cars due to different offsets. Somebody else may know more...
