[62 dodge <dneal430@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like the convertor, unplug it where it plugs in the transmission and
take it for a drive and see what the car does.

> Hey guys, off topic but at least its still a Mopar. Our 94 Chrysler LHS
3.5 L V6 has had this very hard engine vibration for a while. I thought it
was a misfire, and to add to it, the thing had a bit of a rough idle. So I
did the lower intake, injector, plenum, and valve cover gaskets, and while
I was at it (considering the 220000 miles) tossed in a timing belt and
water pump and a tune up among a few other things. Well, the injectors were
clean, and the cylinders were very clean as well. Not to mention the lack
of build up under the valve covers. This is a really, really clean running
motor. Not to mention its got enough power to give ya good kick in the
pants.

and 40 mph and it kicks into high gear, it'll cruise fine, but should you
speed up a little, or go up hill, it shakes...hard. I put my bosses scanner
on it and took her for a drive, and the scanner didn't show anything out of
the ordinary with the motor. No misses, wild fluctuations with the O2 sens.
nothing like that.

converter. I'm hoping that one of you guys knows something about this great
car and can help.

> Guys, if you come across one of these cars with the 3.5 liter for a good
price, don't pass it up. This is a very nice, good size car, with a tough,
powerful, efficient v6 that can get close to 30 mpg on the freeway if you
keep your foot out of it. NOT to mention the cushy leather interior, and
large disc breaks, sun roof, traction control, and all the other goodies.
