Was al oner for dinner tonight so I went out to a local restaurant/bar and had a nice steak and shrimp dinner and a couple Shiners. It rained here this evening too. Had a nice heavy and steady rain for a couple hrs, we did need too. At least I don't have to water the garden or the lawn now. The GF had a job interview today, one yesterday, an another tomorrow. Hopefully one of these work out for her, she's been laid-off since the end of Jan. The job market really does suck now, especially in this area.

She has too many health problems for that job. She has a severe case of athsma, allergic to everything, and gets sick very easy. She can't step a foot into red lobster or near anything living. Although she would make a good canidate because she is very physically fit person, she was a swimmer/diver in school and a very strong. Her breathing is just not up to par.

Got a small emergency tonight, Mom just called. Her and dad are in AZ lookin at property and her check engine light came on in her car. I changed the oil at 39000 miles, she has 43000 on it now. She has a 2006 Chrysler 300 with a 3.5L V6. Dad just checked the oil and its very low, like 3 quarts down, I think it holds 6 quarts. It also idles rough once in a while too she said. I serviced it at 39000 and she never had a problem until today They left a week ago with now issues yet. When I serviced it I did the oil,filter, air filter, and the plugs. I found out later on the 3.5 you don't have to do them till alot later, oh well. They have had no oil leaks from what they can see, I'm thinking its burning it off somewhere. I know all there other cars they've taken on trips out there have burn a quart because of the mountian and desert driving but its never been this much of an oil loss. If this keeps on they are gonna take it to the dealer out there.

I do that three days a week. then lift weights for 1/2 hour or so.

anyway. careful running your genny when the power is out. You light up a lineman and you will be getting a very nasty letter from the power company.

Where in AZ? Weather is hell in the valley right now.

Any sort of aftermarket warranty?


Any odd engine noise? Valve tapping? We do a 3.5 head job or rebuild atleast once a month. Yes, they hold 6 quarts. I'm gonna go onto our work website and see if I can do some searching for you.

EDIT: I work at a dealer in the PHX area, lemme know if I can be of any help.

JB, I think they are in tucson Az right now. Bear with me, they are driving all over the state so I dunno exactly where they are right now. No wierd noise so far just a shakey idle and the engine light. She bought the extened warranty for her car a while back, I think it goes to 60k or 65k miles. I'm waiting for them to reply back to my txt message about there they are. Thanks for any help! Hopefully we can figure something out.

For the life of me I can't remember how to get a code to display on the electronic display. If you can get a code, I can tell you exactly what it is.

So, gimme a sec, while I try to remember how haha.

ON/OFF/ON/OFF/ON

Make sure you cycle the key all the way off and do not bump the start position.

Thanks JB, I'll have them do that to see what it shows. I dunno if I'll talk to them anymore tonight, but I'll let you know what the code is after I find out.

No problem, Matt. If they can atleast get a code, we can figure out if it is something serious or not. Know what I mean? Lemme know, I'll do what I can.
