    Thoughts on this Gen II GTS

    At COTA in June, I pulled up to the grid 5 times for runs. Two times, the grid lady came over, leaned in and said 'this is the most gorgeous color blue. It is just fabulous in the sunlight!' In the paddock, a guy driving a pearl white Ferrari 812 pitted a few spaces over walked over while I was...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    If your car is hitting 110 psi, then there's an oil pump relief spring problem. The way people throw away hardly used premium synthetic motor oil and obsess over filters just floors me. To each his own.

    Trackday Brake Questions

    Ideally, you want to bed your discs with the pad you plan to use. I do not run race pads/rotors on the street unless it's just to the convenience store between track days. They wear better at optimum temps for the rotor/pad and that takes experimentation. The only time I run street pads/rotors...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    I usually run either NAPA Gold, or WIX filters. I sample at every change, or once a year, whichever comes first.

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    I was walking the lubes aisle this evening and found 5-qt jugs for the first time in 2+ years! Just under $28 per jug and quite a bit less than quarts. 0W40 was priced the same.

    Looking to purchase

    I think much of the improved ride in the later cars owes to a longer wheelbase. I recall it's around 4 inches.

    Are these solid pins, or roll pins?

    GTS parts manuals pdf

    My dealer gave me a 3-ring hardcopy of the Gen 1 parts book when they went to microfische/computer in the mid-90's. It shows two different tube numbers and two different "Indicator" (stick) numbers for the '96 year based on body style: 27 (convertible) or 29 (coupe). It looks like the tube...

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clip Shuttle Replacement: are there good ones?

    It makes me wonder if you have either bad track alignment, or dry/gummy tracks that are stressing the slides.

    Drain your pan for 15 min. Pour 8 quarts in and wait 5 min. Pull the stick and scribe / center punch the oil level. Pour 2 more in, wait another 5 minutes and scribe the oil level. Go for a drive, then check it again and report back. You can continue your search while having confidence in the...

    GTS parts manuals pdf

    Tom to the best of my knowledge, the 96R/T has a Gen 1 engine with a Gen 2 ECU. It has a 10 quart pan, a steel pump pickup tube with a unique oil filter adapter. The 96 GTS has an all-new block casting, a reduced volume (7.5-8qt) pan with integral pickup tube that feeds a new front cover/oil...

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    For 90-95% of owners, this is a non-problem. But for the rest of us who use these cars much harder, then venting the valve covers is the ONLY sure way to cure this issue. For dual purpose street/track cars, the intake (makeup air, clean side) should breathe filtered air from the airbox like the...

    Is there a fix for pushing oil with hard driving?

    This combination WINS! No oil escaped the crankcase and the plugs are beautiful! This combination takes full advantage of the HUGE baffle area and volume above them in the G1/2 valve covers. Big hoses slow the flow velocity down and let the oil vapor coalesce on the internal surfaces and stay...

    Sometimes stalls when coming to a stop.

    The TB nearest the MAP sensor (Driver's Side) should sense the pressure change first, so the cable response should be immediate. This allows stepping the IAC down on the opposite (Passenger Side) as the lagging TB opens on that side. I believe the IAC moved from PS rear to PS front on the 3-rib...

    Spark Plug Boots EXTREMELY Tight

    I first worked with dielectric grease and it definitely helped the situation. I put additional lube on each time. I recently switched to a silicone grease from NAPA led Sil-Glyde. I just got back from a short track day and the boots are a little easier to remove. I'll have a better feel for...

    Maybe casting numbers can help? Here are some comparison photos of the standard 8 and 2000+ 10 quart pans. All the difference is in the sump depth below the top cover. You can clearly see the baffle bosses are taller on the 10 qt. Dipstick markings and lengths are the same for all. The '98+ cars...

    Slow cooling fan

    From memory, the G1 & 2 pumps have the following ratings for only 1 purpose - the steering rack: idle flow pressure ~80 PSI idle flow rate ~1.8 GPM pressure relief valve ~1200-1300 PSI The G3 pumps might have modestly uprated minimum flow and pressures for the fan circuit. The relief and flow...

    Here's the dealer's unit in action. It has a pressure gauge, a flow meter, and a shutoff valve to initiate bypass condition. It comes with common Chrysler corp adapters.

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clip Shuttle Replacement: are there good ones?

    The tracks don't wear out unless another metal bit is repeatedly dragged through them. The window mechanism will stop working completely before that ever happens.
