Here are frequently asked questions about the 300M, our club and information about the website. The questions are organized by category, so you may either scroll down or jump to each by clicking the following links.

About the Car

What is an LH car?
LH is the platform that the Chrysler 300M, Chrysler 300M Special, Chrysler LHS, Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Eagle Vision were built on. LH-cars feature a longitudinally-mounted engine with a front-wheel drive drivetrain. This platform is what makes up all the cars in our club.

What about PHG/PHP?
The Performance Handling Group/Package (PHG or PHP) includes stiffer suspension, firm feel steering, improved brakes, V-rated Michelins, and no 118 mph top speed limiter.

What do the Check Engine Codes Mean?
Check Engine Codes can be found in the factory service manual or online, click here for a list of 2002 Codes.

Should I still consider a 300M when looking at used cars?
The 300M has seen a resurgence in recent years and is still a strong option to consider. Keep in mind the timing belt and water pump should have been changed per Chrysler recommendations (7 years OR 100k miles) or you will want to build this repair into the purchase price. The car is extremely reliable overall and can be had for a good price. The knowledge you gain here will help you to keep it running at its best.

How do I get part numbers if I need them for a repair?
Post your need of question on the forum and someone can give you the applicable information. Per our agreement with Chrysler LLC we are not allowed to post a link to the Factory Service Manual but we can always assist.
