I love my K-car

The 1980's K-car in all it's glory.

Drive it like you stole it.

Does this car have an interference engine? Got one that jumped timing and wondering if the timing belt is all i have to worry about. Video had me rolling on the floor!

No this car does not have an interference engine.

Reference GATES Poster No. 428-0408, REPLACE YOUR TIMING BELT: "Dodge Aries 1981-89 2.2L 4cyl. is NOT an interference engine and the 1986-89 2.5L 4cyl, is NOT an interference engine"

@KrankieV2 That may be, but I'm still ahead for not having to pay for the part.

[KrankieV2]

@rkristof1 you got the part for free because they felt sorry for you having to drive a K.

[KrankieV2]

if i drove like that i wouldn't be in a K car because that would be impossible

Is that Stroker Ace driving?

Anyone who calls the K-Car a POS either never owned one or expects what you get in a $30K vehicle from a $12K vehicle. For the price, this car was unbeatable. Lots of room, trunk space, great handling, and I could go on. Any repairs I ever had to do on mine were easy and cheap. To me, that is what makes a good car. Let's face it, any car will break down eventually. When it does, I want to be able to fix it cheap and fast. I only had to fix mine a couple of times and once I even got the part free

@MFP1520 Biggest POS? Not even close. The K Cars were quite compact actually. Smaller than a Ford LTD, or some Toyota I forget the name of from that era. But, yes, I do see those around still. Many of them are not well maintained, and therefore don't run like the way they're supposed to. But, I've see quite a few that run good.
