franc944 Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) I just sold a reatta and picked up a 91 tc with 85,000.It needs a radio and speakers, cv joint and some minor cosmetic stuff.Does anyone have stock radio and speakers to sell me?The slave cd player is there so stock radio and infinity speakers and grills would be awesome.Also advance auto doesnt sell a cv axel for a tc but they have one for a 91 Lebanon vert with 3.0. Isn't that the same part? Edited April 21, 2012 by franc944 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostymosty Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Tone wheels for the antilock brakes are different on the LeBaron. Using LeBaron axles on the TC will chew up your wheel sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCParts Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 For V-6 models the Cardon A-1 CV axle is available at Autozone or O'Reilly's for $79 to $99 depending on your area. I just put one in my daughter's 91. Remember it is VERY important that you use the tone ring from the TC, otherwise you will destroy the ABS sensor.If your yellow ABS stays on, usually it is one of the ABS wheel speed sensors. At the very worst if your ABS computer behind the passenger side kick panel has gotten wet, that may need to be replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franc944 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I just found the axel on rock auto.How do I swap the tone ring? Is it obvious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franc944 Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 I want to pick up some touch up pair at my local auto body supply shop.It looks like single stage on a 91 correct?Anyone know the PPG code for the cream color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCParts Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 To remove the tone ring you just need a thin screw driver and tap it off. Keep on going around the ring so it does not bind. Both just slide off and on.Your PPG paint code is on the underside of the hood, just above the ABS system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostymosty Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 All the TC's had 2 stage paint, basecoat and then clearcoat. Make sure they look under Maserati for the paint because U.S. Chrysler colors are close but different enough to be easily noticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franc944 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 It looks like the hood on my car was replaced or repainted.It is a bad color match and appears to be single stage as the rest of the car has a clear coat.The emissions decal is on the cowel but I saw no decal with paint code.An observation I made under the hood. The ignition wires say Sumotomo 1989.That's not the year the wires were produced is it? They are in remarkably great shape. Makes no cents, the car is a 91.Lots of hail damage on this pig. I will learn painless dent repair on it.All the TC's had 2 stage paint, basecoat and then clearcoat.

Guest Lee_M Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 which interior does your yellow TC have?i think i have these items in both ginger and black. actually i should ask: which speaker grills do you need? the ones in the doors, behind seats, or the tweeters in the dash?i have the radio as well.

franc944 Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 (edited) I have the black interior.I need door speaker grills only.It looks like I am going aftermarket radio because the harness was hacked pretty bad and there is new speaker wires pulled to the doors.I'll pm you a list of my needs.List of stuff I'm doing:Front and read brakes pads n rotorsBoth front axelsPlugs and wires, cap and rotor look newFuel filter and clean injectors.Valve cover gasketAll fluid changesTiresAlignmentInterior needs gauge cluster bezel leatherPassenger side horizontal leather pieceMetal ash tray and cig lighter assemblyDriver side floor matPass side door lock inopp repair.Install all new speakers to replace missing and new aftermarket radio.I have hard top port window fogging so I am going to fix that.Btw. I noticed new bAttery keeps dyeingI'm at 85,000 miles. When should the timing belt be done? I understand it is non interference engine and I only use it around town so no big thing if it goes right?What is typical place to start looking for the draw? I was thinking cruise control or power antenna motor. Any ideas? Edited April 27, 2012 by franc944 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franc944 Posted May 21, 2012 Author Share Posted May 21, 2012 I have a 1991 3.0.Ok so far I did:both valve cover gasketsBeltsBattery and terminalsPlugs, wires cap n rotorOil changeFuel filterBoth front axelsAll 4 pads n rotors.Runs good n smooth but brakes are kind of spongy.Is there a special procedure to bleed the brakes? I remember there was on my 90 reatta with teves system and this one looks similar.Also, is there a procedure to removing the hard top without breaking anything? I had the car apart a couple weeks and never tried to remove hard top yet but now she's ready to cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
