Hi all! Long time member here, 1st post in over 4 years! It's about time to replace the head gaskets on my 96 RT10. Any recommended shops in and around Philadelphia? Willing to drive a few hours if needed.
Thanks for the help!

What type of coolant is everyone using in there older vipers? I am thinking of moving the the amber long life stuff. Is this a bad idea? (I have a '96 RT/10)

Thanks for the replies!
I called a local deaer to see what the cost of parts were for the dif, and found that the gears themselves can't be bought separately from the entire assembly. Any tips on sourcing new gears? I found that all bearings cost about $275.00 total.
