72 Charger Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Ok this is probably going to be a really easy one for most of you . What does OEM mean?

72 Charger Posted March 9, 2016 Author Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you Dwayne I have been racking my brain trying to figure that one out
Deathgoblin Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 It's not what you chant when you're trying not to scream when the carpet monster claims another part? "OEMMMMMMM"
Harry P. Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Thank you Dwayne I have been racking my brain trying to figure that one out You could have just googled it and had the answer in 5 seconds.
sjordan2 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 You could have just googled it and had the answer in 5 seconds.I wish we had a "Like" button.
Dragline Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 My mother has always said. "There are no stupid questions. Only stupid answers". Since she is a PhD Psychologist and Author I've stuck to it.
drummerdad Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I dont know. I have heard some stupid questions before. Not saying that one was, but I have 4 kids, so....
peteski Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I dont know. I have heard some stupid questions before. Not saying that one was, but I have 4 kids, so.... So you probably hear a lot of "Why?", "Why?", "Why?", "Why?", "Why?". As far as the original question goes, a humorous (and educational) way to answer it is this: http://bfy.tw/4g1u (and don't worry about the strange URL - it is not a spam, malware or a virus).

slusher Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 So you probably hear a lot of "Why?", "Why?", "Why?", "Why?", "Why?". I have as eleven year old that still does that.....
unclescott58 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 You could have just googled it and had the answer in 5 seconds.I'm glad he asked it here Harry. I knew the answer to this one, but I'm sure there others out who didn't. There are times where questions are asked here that I too have wondered about. Questions not important enough for me put a lot of time into and wanting to do a real research for the answer. Or questions I too have had, but I've forgotten. The somebody else will then will ask that question, and I'll be thinking, "Oh yea I've been wondering that too." Again, as others have noted, there are no stupid questions. And sometimes it's easier to ask a knowing friend than looking it up though another source. Sometimes it leads into interesting discuions about related things.So Dave and others, keep asking those "stupid questions" here. Sometimes I learn something new by you asking them. And I'm always looking to learn new things. That's why I come to websites like this.
Zoom Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I´m not very family with all special terms that I read in this forum, so now I dare to ask what is:MOPARGasserAnd when you talk about a “curbside” model, what is that?
1930fordpickup Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Curbside model is little or no under car detail just wheels and an interior. No engine required. Like you are looking at a car sitting on a curb. Gasser is a car that ran in a class in drag racing back in the 60's mostly. Just Google Stone, Cook and Woods or Ohio George's Cars http://www.mopar.com/
72 Charger Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 You could have just googled it and had the answer in 5 seconds. You are probably right Harry But as I have never heard the term OEM apart from on this site I thought it best to ask on this site

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Original Equipment Manufacturer.Its used to describe a company that designs a subsystem, that is used in manufacturing a new product. Think AC Delco radios, used in GM cars. OEM: It's also used to denote who built the whole car sometimes. For example, Ford, Chrysler and GM corporations were routinely known as America's "big three OEMs" for a long time. The term has spread into other industries, and still means, broadly, what any manufactured product came with from the factory, before modifications, upgrades, or repairs.MOPAR: This term refers generally to any car built by Chrysler Corporation over the years...Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth, DeSoto, Ram trucks, etc. It's not used to refer to anything in the Fiat group other than brands that originated under the Chrysler Corporate banner. The term derives from a contraction of "motor" and "parts" that Chrysler's parts operation started using in the late 1920s. http://www.stormcomm.net/dodgegirl/moparmeaning.htmlGASSER: Best definition, click here... http://www.gassermadness.us/ A Brief History of the Gasser Classes Edited March 10, 2016 by Ace-Garageguy
Zoom Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Thank you Lance, for that link, now I know what it is And thank you Andy for your answers. Edited March 10, 2016 by Zoom
72 Charger Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 X 2 I had also wanted to know what/where MOPAR originated
Belugawrx Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 You could have just googled it and had the answer in 5 seconds Then we wouldn't be here, would we ? I think this topic should be pinned for other "Stupid Questions"
