Where did bro get this vehicle 😭🙏

Yes I remember when those cars came out when Lee iacocca saved Chrysler with K cars. They were everywhere lol that i think has the aspirated Mitsubishi 2.2 l 4 cylinder until Chrysler came up with their own engine I thinking 90 a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder

Yeah that's jb weld on the freeze plug that's messed up lol

Freeze plug...😮

shit is going to explode

Dude I think there’s a leak

Great car. First 16:08 car I drove was an 84, nicely equipped, navy blue over pale blue cloth. A little tip, if you didn't already know, when cold starting, press the pedal all the way down and hold it a few seconds, then, without any gas it should instantly fire high idle, let run a minute, go without driving hard or sudden on the gas to keep the choke closed till it warms up Other than that, a great car . Its 96 hp. As long as there's no leaks, a flush will be fine.

Car that age you will need it switched over to the new a/c system, which is quite pricey. Upwards of 1,000. Change all the fluids. Add Lucas to new oil and add to gas the next time you fill up. Change spark plugs, rotor, cap and wires. Coolant will get changed when you change the radiator. Add new fluid, don’t resume. The K cars are simple rely transportation. I had a blue wagon and it did well. You paid cash for it and you’re not in debt with a car payment, that’s good enough reason to buy it. Do the maintenance to get it going again and it will last a good while.

Had a 83 4 door sedan. It was great, until the timing BELT slipped on me. My friends hated it. But I really liked it.

*Promosm*

Good luck fixing it and greetings from Germany

Your car looks really great congratulations for it and good luck for fixing it

lil bro forgot to take out the cap cut at the end

I had the exact same year, model and color just without the air conditioning. It was my 2nd car going all the way back to 1989. It was actually a very reliable car except it rusted to dust. Also mine had a column shifter.

Nice Aries.

9:01 she looked more blonde

Your Him!

Nice looking car ,in very great shape not rusted out like Chicago or midwest cars

Hope you haven’t given up on this beauty, I have a passion for the K cars , and there story of how they evolved. Shoot me a message I may have some parts to help you out !

84s were probably the best year to get! My Grandma Judi had a brown 84 she gave my parents in 1992 for a second car. We had it for only a year and my Dad basically used it for a work car. But despite it being a base model with no ac or radio or any power options it was reliable! They traded it in late summer in 1993 for a used 1990 Ford Aerostar van because we needed a vehicle with room being a family of 5. The other car we had at that time was a Chevy Celebrity and honestly I wished my parents wouldve kept the K Car and traded that Celebrity in on the van! The K Car was basic but it was in better condition than that Celebrity even though the Celebrity was 2 yrs newer than it. Oh well lol memories

I have the counterpart to this car: a 1984 Plymouth Reliant, and mine is my first car that I bought 24 years ago.

hi

I had a 1988 Plymouth Reliant LE mine was a charcoal with gray int. It had the 2.5L Slant 4 100 HP and 136 FT of Torque and EFI Automatic 3 speed PS/PB Cold A/C Tilt Wheel Cruise Control Bucket Seats/Console Rear Defrost Chrysler Infinity II Sound system with AM/FM Cassette with eq and 6 disc changer Power Driver's Seat Power Mirrors Power Locks Manual windows White wall 14 inch tires wire hubcaps paid 800 for it in 1997. Mine never used oil. Mine always started and was cheap to fix.I traded it for a 1992 Dodge Spirit ES Shelby Turbo( K car second generation) which was also a great car.I have owned 5 Plymouth Acclaim 5 dodge Spirit(2 1989 2 1990 1 1991 1 1995 ) 4 Plymouth Sundace (Two 1988 and one 1989 and and one 1991)2 New Yorker Turbo ,(one 1985 and 1988 )Dodge Daytona ES (one 1989 and one 1991) Dodge Daytona Turbo Z (1985) model 2 Caravan Turbo(one 1988and one 1990) 3 Dynasty( one 1987 1990 1993 1992 2 New Yorker Landau one 1988 and 1989) 2 Lebaron one 1985 and 1990) Dodge Shadow Base (one 1989 and one 1987) Dodge Shadow ES Turbo (one1987)

AM only radio

I have a Chysler Infinity 1 Sound systen with cassette player that would fit its also an AM/FM unit

I know where you live.

Looks good and the cooling fan was a common failure when new. My folks had 2 of them both new at the time. The first was the infamous 1981 Aries yellow wagon the economy model. Then my folks had a 1984 Aries in garnet red woody wagon. Our 84 Aries was basically a Chrysler town & country equipped all power everything and even with the Precision Series Stereo which 1984 was the first year everything went completely to digital tuning on all Chrysler vehicles. Plus AM only radios were still a thing, unlike today! Yours is in very good shape and at least it’s never been hit! You just have age related issues. The venerable 2.2L is still good with its roughly 90hp. Fuel injection was still a few years away and also the 2.5L version of the 2.2L. I’m glad this isn’t a Mitsubishi 2.6L equipped model. They did their job well enough, it was car for the mass’s and not a garage princess, so they were used up pretty quick on the consumer market! My god they were everywhere and drove them into the ground!

aaaaan subbed to see how this baby goes.

The platform that saved Chrysler, i was always drawn to these cars for some reason. that one looks pretty clean, needs some cosmetic work. Going to need some fluids flushed, belts, plugs etc, should be fine.. rock auto will be your friend for a little while pending. Good luck with it!

You should have fun with this car they are good little cars

Okay, I think I know why the factory cooling fan is not turning on and off. Believe it or not the ignition switch sends power to the temperature switch-sensor (thermistor) located on the metal frame of the cooling fan. If you have the repair manual schematics/wiring diagrams you should be able to check the ignition switch and wires going to the switch for voltage, continuity, and ohms/resistance. You can also check the thermistor-temperature switch-sensor for voltage and ohms. If the factory radiator is not clogged or leaking I would keep it. Do you have a local radiator shop nearby that can test it for leaks and pressure? So to wrap this up there is a possibility the ignition switch has failed that's why the cooling fan is not coming on. My 1985 Plymouth Horizon cooling fan stopped turning on, it ended up being the ignition switch as it controls sending electrical power to the fan when it reaches a certain temperature set by the factory. I hope this helps you and your Dad on the troubleshooting, good luck!!! It's in good shape!!! I would source out a good used Chrysler/Dodge AM/FM Cassette radio to replace the AM radio.

It's a treat to find these on youtube. Those cars are virtually extinct today

Love to see this pop up on my feed keep up the good work ❤

Dodge Baaaaaaaad. Aries worse. Sorry but you are installing CRAP in an outhouse.

Rules to live by when building/working on cars. Rule #1. NEVER buy anything from Autozone, you just found out why with the fan that was the wrong fan...... Rule #2. Never go anywhere without a knife. Rule #3. "Universal" fits nothing. Rule #4. "Direct fit" and "Bolts right on" are both lies 99.99999999999999999999% of the time. Rule #5. Every 30 minute job is 1 broken bolt away from being a 3 day job. Rule #6. If it works it wasn't a stupid idea. Rule #7. Directions sometimes lie. Rule #8. Never take it to "The guy who can do it cheaper", he's cheaper for a reason. Cheap work aint good and good work aint cheap. Rule #9. Disconnect the battery before even touching anything. Rule #10. KZbin has instructions on damn near everything, use it.

17:59 you didn't cut that out

Good job young man! These cars were everywhere during my pre teen and teen years of the 80's and they got a bad rep IMO. They were good reliable cars, they weren't torque monsters or fancy smancy touring cars, they were no frills no excitement drivers. Here's what I would do IF it was my car, get it running good, clean up the engine bay and interior really good, Throw a cheap decent color change paint job on it, I'm thinking 2012 Dodge Ram Deep Auburn Red (Paint code PEP) and find some cool but cheap wheels like some Enkei 72's. the late70-to mid 80's Japanese built American badged cross over cars are becoming a semi popular budget build because you can pick them up running and driving for next to nothing.

Please keep your K car all original as possible . These cars are getting harder to find . I really have good memories with the K cars lol I passed my road test on a 85 Plymouth Reliant back in 85 .

If this vid was in the movie theater I would have jumped in the end

Ebay often has the cheapest rare original brand new OEM parts in unopened boxes from 30-40 years ago.

RockAuto is OKAY, mixed good and bad. You want to try to get as brand new original OEM as possible, and I have part numbers I can give you.

I am pretty sure that wire goes to a tiny sensor on the head, that actually runs the temperature gauge inside the car.

Also, the car probably still has bad gas in the tank, as the modern ethanol they put in gasoline is very bad for classic cars, as it causes corrosion and clogs.

You will want to try to fix the original radiator, as all the new ones are plastic garbage, overpriced, Chinese. There are radiator shops that can do this, salvage your original.

My family had a few of these Chrysler era fwd 4cyl cars and even a 84 Aries that went 340,000 miles with the original engine and trans no rebuilds,no head work,just timing belt and a water pump and carb rebuild! Car was my Aunts and handed down to my cousin in 1994 or so was on the road until he sold it in 2001!! Every 99,999 they marked the mileage when it rolled over to 00,000!!

that yellow wire goes for a tempurature sensor that's hiding underneath the plastic cover for the distributor wires. It should just plug on. I'm pretty sure that would be disconnected because the temp sensor failed

Hey man, I know these cars fairly well, I have a 86 turbo Lebaron - feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, i'm more than happy to help out!
