Dodge Intrepid ES inside out

[mikeyhh1488]

shifter is in the wrong place. belongs on the column. my intrepid has the column mounted shifter and a front bench seat. it's awesome. that's the way a sedan should be. floor mounted shifters, in my opinion, are a waste of space and inconveniently located. love the intrepid though. mine is now 11 years old and still running strong.

[jleeangelo]

@mikeyhh1488 I guess thats a matter of opinion. Although having the shifter by the wheel makes sense for space. I wouldn't buy the car if it was like that in mine as I think it looks ugly. Not to mention I've never seen one with leather seats in it set up that way. I love my intrepid though but would stay away from the 2.7's. I ended up spending about $5000.00 on repairs on that pos and it only had 39,000 when I finally got rid of it. My 03 ES is a dream though, looks like this one but with roof

[mikeyhh1488]

@jleeangelo yes, it is a matter of opinion. everyone has their own taste and that's fine with me. I just think the shifter should be on the column because, in my experience, the driver has to look away from the road to shift. That's not the case with the column mounted shifter. my intrepid has a 2.7 with 117,000 miles and it's still running with no engine problems at all. i did have to replace the alternator, though (demanding stereo system). and my oil pump is going. other than that, it's fine.

[mikeyhh1488]

I've also been using synthetic oil since day 1. no sludge problems. the engine is great. i do wish it had a few more horses though. my 0-60 time is about 5.5s, flooring it. thats pretty good. i just wish it had more hp. i guess if i want that i'm gonna have to go for the 3.5 police package. i generally only use police engines: better cooling, more horsepower, more torque, stock 220 amp alternator, tougher. right now...overall, i'm satisfied with my 2.7.

[jleeangelo]

@mikeyhh1488 did you do mods to get it to do 5.5. Usually the 2.7's take 8.5 to 10 secs to hit 60.

[mikeyhh1488]

@jleeangelo nope. it's been that way since day one. always used synthetic oil, changed it regularly, and some new spark plugs once in a while help a lot. it's all about good maintenance. the governor in mine never worked...it's gone 120+. not going to argue with that. lol

[PetrScorpio]

I love Intrepids....

[SteelCity1981]

you got the 3.2L instead of the shitty 2.7L

[rodnisimo]

my mother in law drives an Intrepid. The windshield is SO distorted it's like being underwater.

[sorum]

I drive a 200 intrepid. 230 000km on board. Amazing car. Hit it in snowbanks , medians and many more fuckups. Car always runs and is fun to drive.

[mjr955201]

Anyone thinking of getting an intrepid with the 2.7L motor, be advised to ONLY use full-synthetic motor oil, or purchase one that only used full-synthetic. Getting one of these with high-miles is rolling the dice bigtime.

Otherwise, 2.7's do not last long. They sludge up and fail very quickly.

The 2.7L had a design flaw with the oil passages being too small in the motor, causing not enough oil flow and sludging.

If any motor required synthetic oil, these did.

[brockf5]

yea i got mines wit 220 thous im ditching it in 2 yrs and going for a 04 mazda rx8

[mikeyhh1488]

@mjr955201 been using synthetic in my 2000 2.7L with 117k miles on it since day one. no engine problems at all so far.

[womancallinmepie]

I love that song ur playing, The Fray ROcks!!!!!

[caroline0713]

my car used to look like that ...until it got stolen =(

[420socal619]

what's wrong with your stereo? I'd get a new one if lame shit like that was coming out of mine...

[BardofVoice]

I am getting a 2000 Dodge Intrepid in a few days. Its has a reconstructed 2.7 engine cause the original owner didn't take care of the original engine.....now it has 0000000 MILES!!!!!

[mikeexplosion]

you must have not seen the other intrepid 2.7 liter you tube videos. i give your rebuild 36 days.

[lildaviid923]

no it will last . my dad rebuilded one awile ago it lasted about a year till my sister crashed it

[TheGoldenPhantom]

just put 20's on mine.boss shit

[redneon06]

You werent wearing your seatbelt!

That's a great 3.2 engine!

[RB4GS]

Nice Intrepid. I love the car so much! What year is your trep?

[tiger2380]

buckle your seatbelt next time :). I got a 2001 dodge intrepid, and liking it.

[crablord]

ya i have a 2004 intrepid SE thats pretty good. i like it, it's a good car. i wanna sell it though so i can get a charger >:)

[littlesht2]

good idea. intrepids always crap out when u least expect it. and it seems like thats how it wants to stay.

[haleyvibe]

I want this car soooooo bad.

[metalisheaven]

this cars suckk.. i had a 2001 intrepid and i had it for about 10 hours and the engine fucking blew up.. idk whyy.. and i bought it from a dealer.. BIG,UGLY,SLOW..

[littlesht2]

yeah my dad has a 95 pos! horrible car but it was free from my grandpa so who would pass that up?

[mpk192]

thats a nice ride! where u at noticed u have a PA Inspection on there in down here in Altoona and get a decent amount of snow as well

[nigga62089]

i think the eagle vision was the best lookin out of the intrepid and concord + it had autostick

[Muscleman361]

And...

I think im Going to put 24V emblums on the fender Of my Stratus, im going to get them off of a broken down 24V taurus. It does have a 2.7L...24V V6, 225Hp,,,Mods, lots of mods.

[Muscleman361]

The engines of the 2.7 3.0s

remind me of the taurus engine,WHY?

because there 4 doors, they have 4valves per cylinder, DOHC, one thing is, Duratec, then Mopar.

[Xaero900]

Whats the name of the song playing in the background? Sounds familiar, can't remember though.

[Muscleman361]

Why cant dodge put the 3.4L or somthin over 3.0 in a Dodge Stratus?

does it have to do with the size?

i bet they could fit it in the 04 R/T Stratus.

[94EglVisionTSI]

i dunno i think they should put the 250hp 3.5L in it and call it a srt6 or something, considering it does a 7.5 0-60 with the 200hp 2.7L i bet it would fly with the 3.5....and for the size i kinda doubt thjat cause the 2.7 is basically the same size(mass-wise) as a 3.5

[Muscleman361]

7.5 for 2.7L, well scince mine has been modid it does 5.4 to 60. C&L intake Chip from Dodge performance Dayco Belt Tensioner pully Costom Dual Exsahust, Flowmaster 60s seiries No Rev Limiter No Govoner. 234hp 227P of Tourqe. lots of mods. it was not my car, it was my fathers. he did some stuff to it at the time, but this is the stuff i did to it.

[Mustangmike232]

Is your car cherry maroon? and does the plate's say SE R/T, somthin?

i may have seen it around Campus.

it's loud as hell...in a good way.

if it's you, then LOL.

[Muscleman361]

yup, that's me

I got it resprayed 2 days ago, it was sandblasted in the front. and little dings all around. Resprayed the whole car.

you drive the black Stang? i see that across the parking lot from gate 3.

[astrak1001]

Where do you get 7.5 0-60 for 2.7L...it's more like 10 seconds to get to 60. The 3.5 in the RT, SXT and the M will get the car to 60 in about 8 seconds

[wearetheos1]

It's not a 2.7, it has a 3.2 V6

[astrak1001]

Huh I was responding to muscleman361 about his claim that the 2.7 does 0-60 in 7.5 seconds. I know your car has a 3.2 SOHC V6.

[blahblah132hgfh]

thats pimp

[Mustangmike232]

if you put costom duals on intrepids or stratus 4 doors, they sound wicked loud. flowmasters, cherry bomb, magnaflow, it costs couple hundred for the setup.

[Muscleman361]

I thought you drive a stang?

[Mustangmike232]

I Do.

My Brother Has a 2004 Dodge Stratus SXT

and he did some mods to it.

but yes i drive a 2003 GT Mustang Stock

[Muscleman361]

ohh.

well, you keep your's very clean and nice looking. i like Mustangs.

i would get one. But one car is all i need right now. 4door HP little hot rod. gets me were i wanna go.

[Mustangmike232]

thanx man.

see ya some time.

i bet i will, because your car stands out from the others, by sound, and look.

btw, great choice to take of the liscence plate holder of the front. looks more racing style.

[bungarz886]

thats a pretty mean lookin engine

[platadelpacifico]

Cool, car have a 2001 ES with 25,000 miles. and love it..

[jinglejazz]

Howdy All:

[ivanapril]

[intrepidrob]

[coolcrrusher]

u should put ur seatbelt on, or is that the open door light?

[KatsukiLennox]

I think that's the low fuel light, but I'm not sure.

[wearetheos1]

I had my seatbelt off, my bad

[Muscleman361]

Weartheos.

i never asked this.

is that trep a daily all season driver.

rain, snow sand ya know.

[wearetheos1]

Yea it is. We have snow/ice here, it does pretty good in the snow. I have snows all around.

[Muscleman361]

Mine is a daily driver.

my car is related to urs.

they do handle pretty good in the winter time.

and i gota say, the Tourq is good in these cars.

[wearetheos1]

So far had to replace the drivers door lock, now the passenger rear lock is buzzing. Had to replace both front door speakers, the foam surround came loose on both. And the rear brakes and rotors. No other repairs so far

[191191119]

how well have you kept it up

[LM003003]

Hey bro time the 0-60 time in your car.

[TownAndCountry13]

Hey, I just wanted to say that al of your Intrepid videos are great! But, I have a question. What do you think of your Intrepid? I know that this one isn't the junk 2.7, it is the nicer 3.2. Is this car reliable? I have an oppritunity to get an Intrepid with the 3.3 engine. Thanks!

[TownAndCountry13]

I have the oppritunity to get an Intrepid with the 3.2 *** engine.

[wearetheos1]

Its been reliable, no break downs and it allways starts, comfortable, nice power, good handling, great stereo. Its just a bit too big for my taste, the only thing is I had to replace the drivers door power lock, other than that, everything else works great.

[440hemirt70]

nice audio system--i can hear that bass pumpin'. but i know those intrepids come with a 100-watt subwoofer.
