I absolutely love the sound of your engine Too bad my wife would never go for something so loud like that... She likes to hear music, I say the exhaust is the music

You definitely want to go with a clean title. And everyone is right about learning MTX. I learned to drive manual on my 01 ACR that I just bought. Have someone drive to a parking lot on the weekend and leave you there. You'll figure it out...

^has the registration name of a b00b, I mean, n00b...

Honestly, I have no clue. I'll have to research that. It was the previous owner who said that it was a Mopar Performance PCM. I'll try to get a hold of him.

I love everything you've done to your ACR. I now of some ideas of what I want do to with mine... What kind of mileage are you getting with your setup?

The most effective way is to learn to tune a car and use a standalone engine management ECU such as the megasquirt. It can make you a bit more power, but more importantly, it will allow you to tune the fuel mixture leaner when you are at cruise throttle positions, and the stock ECU can't fight with...

Welcome to 2gn

Howdy

I have to admit that I'm a bit of a noob in this department. But I've done a lot of reading and research on this form and the Dodge Forum and have come up with the following ideas for mods. My ACR is completely stock except for a Mopar Performance PCM. My goal is to increase whp without loosing gas ...

I wish we could get some snow out here in KY. It was 75 degrees yesterday (with a tornado here and there). I'd love to get some snow pics of my silver ACR.

I bet your car looks really sharp when it isn't buried in snow lol.

Are you driving a 3-spd auto or a 5spd manual? If the latter, shift gears as soon as you hit 3,500 rpm. I keep my car in 4th when going 35. You can't accelerate at all, but it really helps gas mileage as the RPM's are at 2k instead of 4k.

I was so excited when I heard that Dodge was brining the Challenger back Too bad I won't ever be able to afford one...

Not a big fan of your mirrors, but other than that you have one sexy car...

Welcome to 2gn! Congrats on being in the Corps. I have a couple friends that are Marines. Most of my family members are Air Force.

Welcome. Any pics yet?

Nice, I love it - oh, and he told me it came with no stereo and AC, so I assume he has the rare 1 of 11 silver ACR's with no option. :D :D :D That's correct, it came with no a/c or stereo (infiniti speakers and a cd player were added later). Where do you go to find out how many ACR's in my trim wer...

I never listen to music because I love the sound of my 01 ACR so much

My driver-side door just started making a really weird vibrating noise. The noise stops if I roll the window all/part of the way down. How can I fix it?

Alright, how do I locate and remove the resonator box in the intake assembly?

Nope. Your car doesn't have an external fuel filter, just a pick up filter at the bottom of the fuel pump. According to Chrysler it should be a lifetime filter :roll: If you have to change a fuel pump assembly, you will get the filter on it. Lifetime? I guess they don't want me to drive my car more...

Newbie here, I thought the resonator was a box and not in the pipe? I just bought an 01 ACR and haven't taken the time to look.

Is the fuel filter something that I need to replace as well soon? If so, where is it on the 01 ACR?

Alright, newb question, what is a resonator box?

Where's the cheapest/best place to get a K&N filter?

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'll definitely look into taking care of that timing belt (as well as the water pump, idler, tensioner pulleys, seals, etc) real soon.

Thanks for the quick reply Danteneon. The timing belt was checked by an independent mechanic that used to work for MOPAR. How it was checked, I have no idea as I'm not a mechanic. This guy just happens to be one of the only reliable independent mechanics around. As for the brakes, probably bad lingo...

103k miles on my 01 ACR.

Hey everyone. I just purchased a nearly stock 2001 ACR. What kind of maintenance is recommended at this point? It looks and sounds perfect. I had the timing belt checked and its set to go for at least another 30k miles. The brakes are new and have been calibrated. Fluid levels all check out fine (ev...

Here's some pics. Enjoy!

Question, how do I post pictures on 2gn.org? I have some pictures on photobucket of my car, but where do I go from here? In response to Overdrive418- Timing belt is still in perfect condition and the fluids have been flushed. CV joints are great. - Where is the fuel filter on the ACR? It's not in th...

o3blackrt, a Mopar performance chip is a $400 PCM (ECU) replacement that generates more aggressive engine timing and increases the stock rev limit. The fuel tips/nozzles were "loosened" so that the fuel comes out more as a mist than a stream, if that makes sense. Maybe I'm just using the wrong lingo...
