New 2 a Magnum
Hey All!!!
I just brought my 05 Dodge Magnum RT AWD home yesterday!!!! Bought it off Ebay and got a heck of a deal.(I hope it is not on of those to good to be true) I went on and put a Dodge extended warranty on if for 4 more years and 65k miles. But I have a few questions. I have been on the site for several hours and did not find what I was looking for.
#1 I need new tires and since it is an AWD do I need different tires then RW drive Magnums.
(Why I ask is this reason: I have seen different factory rims on Ebay with tires and was not sure if the AWD uses different wheels and tires)
#1b Does anybody here run Michelin Tires? MXV4 is what Mich. calls for it. (I have had 5 Chrysler products since 96 and Mich. seems to ride and wear the best)
#2 The car is fully loaded for the exceptions of this: No Uconnect, No Nav, No Tire Pres. mont.
Can I add uconnect to this by just buying a uconnect mirror.(is the wirring there for it)
Can I buy the Nav radio and it just hook up and work or do I have to make big changes?
If I can buy the tire on ebay and they have TPS will they work or not?
#3 Has anybody here switched to all synthetic oil, trans ect.. did it help with MPG. ( I know I bought a hemi and I am not looking for 40mpg just needs oil change and wondering if I should switch. If I switch how often do you change synth. every 3000 or more?
#4 I have a K&N filter on my Dakota now does that effect the factory warranty if I put it on my Magnum?
#5 My 06 Dakota has a little different radio in it then the Magnum. The magnum has the single disk CD w/Sat. The Dakota has single disk with the Aux plug. Can I change those out and have the Sat/buttons on my wheel work with that raido.
Ok I am going to stop there with all my questions. Thanks for all the help!
