Asked by John Aug 18, 2013 at 09:33 PM about the 2006 Dodge Stratus SXT Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Drive an 06 stratus 6 CYL. Needs a new Battery. A fella on here told me to go with one with 650. was just wondering what the difference is and if it really matters. I live in Northeast Alabama if climate makes a difference so its a little warmer here. Every search for batteries shows me 3 different CCA models

Yes it matters. Get the one that your vehicle calls for or one with more CCA. Never get one with less CCA than your vehicle calls for.

I having trouble finding that info on line too. I would not go below 650 CCA. IMO anyways. More is better in this case.

2001 Stratus is has a fuel leak. 2.4L DOHC engine. The leak is coming from under a "hat looking device" attached to the top middle of the fuel rail. Is this a pressure relief valve. Is it replaceable or do I have to replace the entire fuel rail? I don't believe it's a test port or schrader valve. The Haynes manual says to connect an adapter between the fuel line and rail to check fuel pressure. This is a returnless fuel system. Does anyone have a factory service manual that talks about this "hat" on the fuel rail. Thanks for any info you can give. 1 Answer
