Also when I got the car the guy had already tried working on it, and he too the PS reservoir line off, in the manual I have they say not to remove this, is that a problem or are there going to be problems from that? Thanks Tim
The 2nd design is a better one. I would upgrade. There must have been a problem with the old design or believe me Chrysler would never have spent money on a redesign.
