I'm just responding on the fan issue. I've got a 99 Intrepid 2.7. You can purchase the entire fan assembly with the two fans, motors, shroud and wiring harnesses and connectors. It's fully assembled and it's cheaper than getting the parts separately. Dorman makes and distributes these OEM drop in replacements. I got the best price and ordered from Rockauto.com. I'm doing mine today with the guidance of my Haynes manual. Mopar would only sell the motors, blades, etc. separately and it was outrageous. --- In [email protected], Geoff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You don't need to mess with the bracket that the idler pulley is attached to > the block with.
