A catalytic converter changes dangerous chemicals into harmless ones. The converter is an essential part of your Chrysler as your engine requires a converter to operate effectively. They're designed to work for long periods at high temperatures, but a converter can still wear out or suffer damage. As your Chrysler dealer, we can repair or replace your converter for you. These are some examples of converter problems we can fix. Signs You Need a New Catalytic Converter From Your Chrysler Dealer Rattling Noises Weird noises inside your car always mean something is wrong. A rattling noise that seems to be coming from the converter usually means that your converter has been damaged. This noise is made by broken parts of your converter moving around as your car drives. The broken parts come from the honeycomb structure that makes up the inside of the converter. A honeycomb structure provides a large surface area for converting exhaust gases and also possesses great strength. Damage to any part of the structure, however, weakens the honeycomb and can cause pieces to break off. The broken parts will crash into other sections and cause further damage until the converter is replaced. Black Exhaust Smoke Normal exhaust smoke is white and almost invisible. Thin white smoke is a sign that your converter is operating just like it should. Black exhaust smoke means that your converter is failing. This smoke has a foul rotten egg smell and contains dangerous levels of carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and other poisonous chemicals. Our technicians will need to check your converter to find the cause of the problem. Usually, the black smoke means your converter can't be repaired but will need to be replaced. A converter can also fail due to age or damage due to other engine problems. Once we've identified the problem we'll fix it for you. Engine Cuts Out When you start your engine and it dies in seconds, this is a sure sign that your converter is blocked. The converter can become blocked by carbon deposits from the conversion process. A blocked converter prevents the exhaust gases from passing into the exhaust and exiting your car. When you start your engine, the combustion process begins. The cylinders will dump the fuel residue into the exhaust system, and they'll enter the converter. The blocked exit forces the gases back into your engine. Once inside the engine again, these gases increase the fuel-to-air ratio. The high fuel-air ratio these gases create will cause your spark plugs to fail. A failed or blocked converter can cause damage to your engine if it's not repaired or replaced. If you experience any of these signs, call our service department immediately at Blue Ribbon CDJR.

A small problem in your engine can become a serious one if it's not repaired. Your Chrysler engine requires regular services according to your car manual to keep it running like it's designed to. If you experience any engine problems, your Chrysler dealer can fix them for you. These are a few examples of possible problems you may encounter. Dead Battery The battery has the vital role of providing the power that starts your engine. A battery contains various chemicals, and the chemical reactions produced inside the battery allow it to store electricity and recharge. These reactions, however, will eventually destroy the battery. These chemicals slowly change and break down as they work, which causes the battery to fail. Sulfuric acid, one of the most important chemicals in the battery, gradually breaks down and releases hydrogen gas. This gas escapes the battery and can cause corrosion on the battery terminals. We advise that your battery is tested every three years. Our technicians will attach the battery to our testing machine to check its health. If your battery is weak, we can install a new one for you. Damaged Catalytic Converter The catalytic converter is part of your exhaust system. It converts dangerous chemicals produced by the combustion process into less harmful ones. The conversion process involves complex reactions with the platinum in the converter, great pressure, and high levels of heat. A converter can become blocked or damaged, which will affect your engine performance. If the converter is blocked, exhaust gases will be forced back into your engine. These gases will alter the fuel-air mix in the engine and result in stalling, poor fuel efficiency, and other problems. The high fuel concentration can also choke your engine when it starts up and cause it to shut down. We can clear a blockage in the converter, or replace a worn-out converter. Worn Oil Pump Oil is pumped continuously through your engine and lubricates all the moving parts. This lubrication is vital, as it protects the parts against friction damage. The flow of oil also helps to reduce the temperature in the engine. The oil clears dirt and other debris in your engine by collecting it and depositing it in the oil filter. The smooth flow of il depends on the oil pump. This small component forces the oil through the system. If the pump fails, oil won't flow through the engine, and this can lead to worn parts and contribute to your engine overheating. We can quickly replace a damaged pump to solve this problem. If you experience any problem with your engine, call us right away at Blue Ribbon CDJR.

There's something incredible about visiting art that's created by your local community. Here, we have a list of 3 spots for some amazing local art within driving distance of Sallisaw, OK. Sallisaw Historical Mural This awesome mural was created by a group of community members between 1993 and 1999. During those 6 years, any hometown artist could add an individualized section to the wall as long as their new work didn't cover up older works. You'll find scenes from Sallisaw history like Cherokee Leader Sequoyah, the old downtown Sallisaw, and baptisms in Sallisaw Creek. The Missouri Pacific Railroad station is also immortalized on the wall, even though the building currently stands as the Stanley Tubbs Memorial Library. Old cars, horse wagons, and churches can also be seen painted onto the bricks. Located right in Sallisaw, this is an incredibly local opportunity to appreciate the arts. The Gallery on Garrison If you're up for crossing state lines, this gallery is a place to check out often because their artwork is always changing! They feature traditional art by emerging and established artists. If you're interested in making art yourself, they offer paint and sip parties, art classes, and residency programs.

Paintings, photography, sketching, and carvings can also be found here. Want to know the best part? Most of the artwork is for sale, meaning you can take home the pieces that you fall in love with. The Unexpected You can find this art scattered around downtown Fort Smith, AR. We know that sounds a little strange but hear us out! The Unexpected features art that's exactly, well, unexpected! If you check out their website, you'll find a map that guides you throughout the city to different murals and art projects. The organization contracts with local and national artists to create incredible art using different styles, techniques, and mediums. For example, in 2021 The Unexpected welcomed Douglas Hoekzema (or Hoxxoh) to Fort Smith for a large-scale public art display. They opened his creative method to the local community, and he was able to demonstrate his signature pendulum painting process. The same year, they welcomed Ben Eine to create a mental health awareness mural where he was able to lead a discussion around not only art but also mental health. Art is one of the best ways to bring people together because there aren't barriers – just creativity. We hope these three amazing locations bring you inspiration in every part of your life. Before you head go, stop by Blue Ribbon CDJR today and we'll help you find a car perfect for any art show in town.

Now in its fifth generation, the Jeep Cherokee continues to be one of the most popular SUVs on today's market. Drivers value its solid ride and handling and are especially attracted to its excellent off-road capability. Here we take a closer look at some of the features that make the 2022 Jeep Cherokee an excellent SUV choice. Basics About the Jeep Cherokee A true pioneer in its category, the Jeep Cherokee is a five-seat compact crossover SUV that is built to take you almost anywhere. A good mix of trim levels gives drivers the ability to customize the Cherokee for a variety of lifestyles. It continues to be one of the best off-road performers in its category, with solid ride and handling characteristics. Its 4,500-pound maximum towing capacity is also among the best in this segment. The Cherokee's cabin features front seats with options in both cloth and leather. Soft-touch materials are trimmed in chrome to generate a premium feel to the interior. Jeep's Uconnect system runs the infotainment unit, which has been upgraded with a larger touchscreen on all 2022 models. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are also standard across the lineup, and a six-speaker sound system can be upgraded to a nine-speaker Alpine unit. New Features For 2022, there are four trim levels including the new X model. The Cherokee X gets a 1.0-inch suspension lift in addition to all-terrain tires, unique exterior graphics, and new seat inserts. On the inside, the Cherokee's infotainment system has also seen a nice upgrade that will enhance your driving experience. All models now come standard with SiriusXM satellite radio and an 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen, a welcome improvement from the former 7.0-inch unit. The mid-level Latitude Lux model has also received a few useful upgrades for the 2022 model year. It now comes standard with a 115-volt power outlet, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a 7.0-inch gauge-cluster display. Engine and Performance Details The Jeep Cherokee comes with two powertrain options to choose from for 2022. A 3.2-liter V-6 is the standard option, putting out 270 horsepower and 239 lb-ft of torque. There's also a turbocharged, 2.0-liter, four-cylinder engine that generates roughly the same amount of horsepower with 295 lb-ft torque. Both options come with a nine-speed automatic transmission and your choice of either front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. As drivers have come to expect from a Jeep, the Cherokee feels dependable and solid in rugged off-road terrain. Performance is further enhanced with the X and Trailhawk models, which feature drive modes that affect throttle response and traction control settings. The Trailhawk tacks on a low-range gear and a mechanical locking rear differential for better grip at low speeds. These are some of the key reasons why drivers continue to choose the iconic Jeep Cherokee.

Too often, we make our way through life wearing blinders, relentlessly focused on work and other responsibilities. It isn't healthy. Every now and then, a break is needed. One of the most fulfilling yet least expensive ways to relax and recharge is by communing with nature. Whether you fish, hike, cycle, or ride horseback, there are several breathtaking vistas in the vicinity of Sallisaw, OK. Here are three places that offer some of the best views. 1. Cherokee Nation Park Horseback Trail A mere quarter of an hour's drive from Sallisaw, west on US64, then south on the N4570/Dwight Mission Road, the Cherokee Nation Park sits on the bank of the Arkansas River, overlooking the Robert S Kerr Reservoir. Featuring a 6.3-mile hiking trail that loops along the shoreline of the peninsula on which the park is situated, the park is open from 5:30 am-5:30 pm daily. Bicycles and horses are permitted along the trail, which includes spectacular shoreline views and through stands of trees. Bald eagles are frequently sighted flying overhead. To protect the abundant wildlife, dogs must be leashed. Overnight camping is permitted, although facilities are limited to portapotties and picnic benches. The proprietors advise visitors to bring drinking water for themselves and their animals. 2. Brushy Lakeview Loop and Creek Run Trails If you take N Maple St out of Sallisaw until it turns into the N4620 Rd, it will bend to the west after about eight miles.

The Creek Run is double the length and challenges visitors with more difficult terrain. Both offer refreshing scenery, several species of birds, and small mammals. Either trail is ideal for a family with children. 3. Burnt Cabin Trail at Tenkiller Ferry Lake If you're looking for a trail with a more panoramic view and don't mind a longer drive, the Burnt Cabin Trail at Tenkiller Ferry Lake is worth the 45-minute drive to the far shore of Lake Tenkiller.
