Chryslers are very trying.


By Chrysler, I guess you mean Mopar. Can't say anymore. My
experience was years ago. But, some examples between my Dodge vans
and my Ford van:

Time to remove inside engine cowling:
74' Dogde = 10 secs
91' Ford = 1 hr

Time to separate auto trans linkage joint:
74' Dodge = 15 secs
91' Ford = 45 mins (without $57 tool)

Time to change new spark plug harness:
74' Dodge = 5 mins
91' Ford = hadda hire a Hobbit!!

It's like Ford hires engineers to make dealing with a simple
mechanical device 9 times more difficult than is necessary. Very
strange.
