aftermarket air cleaner..... most of the ISB engines I see with blow by have had this mod done. Most of the gauze type filters were dubbed the "bug and rock" catchers by engineering (I live in the desert, results may vary).

trans on my 01. built a core I had laying around with an OEM kit and valve body kit and converter from Goerend. That was at 38K. Have 160K on it now and it tows great. Not even a concern when I leave town.

common rails injectors..... should have had dual filters from the get go. They finally stepped up in 13 with that feature.

injectors causing damage (common rail).... most I've seen were trucks with poor maintenance and little understanding of the tow rating of the said vehicle.

Dart4forte.... you mean you're not a 120 Barbie doll? I swear that's what they designed that era seat around. They suck!! My 01 seat is much nicer. They did improve it on the newer models.
