A Veteran Technician’s Insight: Over my 20 years in the shop, I’ve seen countless Chrysler and Dodge minivans. Their engine computers, especially the NGC3 generation, are notorious for internal failures.

It eliminates all the guesswork and the need for specialized tools, turning a complex electronic repair into a straightforward bolt-in job you can do right in your driveway.
