It seems Chrysler doesn't have the correct fuel pump ! they sell my 3 different ones and all do not work. They even match it with the VIN! I can't get one to work and I spent thousands. A lot of others on 300 forums have had the same issue !! so many 6. 1 and higher that need that fuel pump but Chrysler seems to keep sending me parts and taking my money! please help.
