2007 Dodge Charger 2.7L V6, 3.5L V6, and 5.7L Service Manual OEM

• Covers the 2005 Chrysler 300-series sedan and Dodge Magnum Sports Tourer, including 2.7L DOHC V6, 3.5L High Output V6, and 5.7L HEMI V8 engine systems, plus RWD and AWD chassis configurations with 42RLE four-speed and NAG1 five-speed automatic transmission service information.
• Engine chapters document removal and installation, cylinder-head and valve-train service, camshaft and crankshaft inspection, piston and connecting-rod repair, lubrication-system work, and timing-chain or timing-belt procedures. The 5.7L section also covers Multi-Displacement System components and diagnostics.
• Transmission and driveline coverage includes 42RLE and NAG1 electrical diagnosis, hydraulic testing, unit removal, internal disassembly and assembly, clutch and planetary-gear service, valve-body or electrohydraulic-control work, and final verification, along with propeller shafts, half shafts, and 198RII/210RII rear-axle setup.
• Chassis sections address front and rear hub assemblies, ball joints, control arms, tension struts, shock and spring service, Nivomat load-leveling rear shocks, steering gear and column work, curb-height measurement, and four-wheel alignment. Brake coverage extends from calipers, pads, rotors, master cylinder, booster, and parking brake to ABS/ESP diagnosis, bleeding, sensor calibration, and verification tests.
• Electrical information includes DTC-based fault isolation, module communication diagnosis, connector and splice data, component pinouts, and full schematics. Particularly useful groups include 8W-10 Power Distribution, 8W-18 Bus Communications, 8W-35 Antilock Brakes, 8W-43 Occupant Restraint System, 8W-80 Connector Pin-Outs, and 8W-91 Connector/Ground/Splice Location.
• Body, restraint, and climate-control sections cover doors, glass and regulators, seats, instrument panel, liftgate, decklid, sunroof, airbags and occupant-classification hardware, refrigerant recovery/evacuation/charging, HVAC door actuators, and factory body-structure drawings for gap and flush, opening dimensions, sealer, structural adhesive, and weld locations.

Vehicle and Publication Scope

This 7,289-page PDF contains DaimlerChrysler factory service information for the 2005 LX platform. Vehicle-identification data and model-specific electrical sections identify Chrysler 300, 300 Touring, 300C, and Dodge Magnum SE, SXT, and RT applications. Market coding covers United States, Canada, Mexico, and international vehicles, while the maintenance group separates sedan, wagon, and export schedules.

This is not the 2007 Dodge Charger publication. Its engine repair chapters cover the 2.7L, 3.5L, and 5.7L configurations listed above; it does not provide a separate 6.1L engine overhaul chapter. That distinction matters when selecting procedures, wiring, modules, body information, or drivetrain parts for a specific LX vehicle.

Mechanical Repair and Diagnostic Depth

The engine material goes well beyond routine maintenance. It includes compression and cylinder-leakage diagnosis, engine removal, cylinder-head disassembly, valve and guide inspection, camshaft and bearing checks, crankshaft and piston service, oil-pump work, intake and exhaust component repair, and engine-specific timing procedures. Factory tool references include suspension Puller 9360, Engine Lifting Fixture 8342, Timing Chain Tensioner Resetting Gauge 8186, and NAG1 End Play Set 8266.

Both automatic transmissions receive dedicated service and electrical-diagnostic sections. The 42RLE material covers adaptive electronic control, line-pressure diagnosis, clutch clearances, solenoid/pressure-switch operation, pump, valve body, accumulators, geartrain, and torque converter. The NAG1 chapters address its three planetary sets, B- and K-series clutch elements, electrohydraulic control unit, shift mechanism, torque converter, end-play checks, internal teardown, and assembly. Axle repair includes noise and vibration diagnosis, pinion-depth setup, bearing preload, ring-gear backlash, tooth-contact pattern checks, and differential disassembly for the covered 198RII and 210RII units.

Several manual-specific cautions help prevent expensive rework. The front suspension sections distinguish special grooved alignment bolts that must not be rotated like ordinary fasteners because doing so can damage the bushing and disturb camber or caster. Engine timing chapters warn that turning the camshafts or crankshaft out of position with the chain removed can cause valve-to-piston contact. Rear-suspension procedures also identify AWD crossmember spacers and different front/rear mounting bolts whose position must be preserved during repair.

Electrical, Body, HVAC, and Safety Coverage

Electrical diagnosis is organized around fault codes, circuit tests, connector views, module communication, and system verification rather than wiring diagrams alone. Coverage includes PCM/TCM functions, the Integrated Power Module, CAN bus communication, ABS/ESP, ORC and Occupant Classification Module circuits, lighting, heated systems, power accessories, navigation/audio, theft security, and engine- and transmission-specific schematics. Connector, ground, and splice-location information supports component-to-component circuit tracing.

Body and HVAC material includes component removal and installation as well as structural reference data. The body-structure chapter provides sedan- and wagon-specific opening and panel-fit dimensions, sealing maps, structural-adhesive drawings, and weld-location views. Climate-control chapters cover performance testing, leak diagnosis, compressor and condenser service, evaporator and heater-core work, actuator diagnosis, and approved refrigerant handling procedures.

Specifications are presented in metric and SAE units throughout the publication. Component-specific torque tables, fluid capacities, wear limits, clearances, pressure-test data, alignment specifications, electrical test values, and special-tool callouts appear within the applicable groups rather than in a single generic appendix.

Before suspension, drivetrain, brake, restraint, or refrigerant-system repair, the vehicle must be supported at the specified lift points and the applicable isolation and safety procedures must be followed. Airbag circuits, compressed springs, fuel systems, and A/C refrigerant require the equipment and training identified in the factory information.
