    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    You're really tempting me with those speakers, lol. I wouldn't mind a little more low end out of mine to see if I could hear or feel it over my exhaust. I've looked at trying to buy component style midrange speakers that don't have the tweeters on them, but they pretty much always seem to sell...

    GEN 3 NO MUFFLER ?

    First of all, back pressure is pretty much a myth. The less back pressure you have, typically the better. What you actually get from "more restrictive" exhaust is typically just higher flow, which can cause better scavenging, but you have to get it in the right way. If you are trying to flow...

    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    Cool! Looking forward to seeing how it works out for you. My car actually had a set of Focal tweeters in it when I bought it, but they were huge 1.5" or more units that were literally just laying in the dash under the grilles facing up. I may have to think about those rear deck speakers as...

    2000 RT-10 over heats when the air is turned on?

    Sounds like a clogged up radiator and/or condenser. Probably not an issue in regular driving until you have the extra heat load of the A/C in front of the radiator. You might try hosing it out real good or taking an air gun to it to see what you can **** out. That would be my first guess at...

    Potential New GEN3 Owner?

    Hey Dave, thanks for stopping by! I actually grew up on Corvettes as well. Price to performance they are probably still the best value out there, just a different driving experience. As for some of your questions, a lot of it just comes down to what you're willing to pay for. If you a dead...

    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    I've pretty much done this on my gen 3 at this point. The tweeters in the dash are the biggest problem though as they are somewhat uniquely designed to have the mounting plate integrated with the speaker. It's very hard to find an aftermarket tweeter small enough to fit in the hole and still...

    mopar race exhaust on a gen 4?

    Interestingly enough, I think I had worse exhaust smell with my 2.5" Borlas with no cats than with my 3" Mopar race setup. Maybe the 2.5" just trapped it more with the extra back pressure or something. I think one reason people think the exhaust is so loud is that the low tone travels really...

    New 1996 GTS Owner - Pittsburgh, PA

    I think most of the fluids are pretty easy to change. I haven't done it on a gen 2 myself, but my gen 3 is relatively easy, I'd imagine even more so with a lift. Fluids tend to break down more at extreme conditions like on a race track with high heat, so a 300 mile trip home on the highway is...

    mopar race exhaust on a gen 4?

    Sweet! Glad it all went together well for you. Lining up the tips can be a bit of a pain. It's hard since you kind of have to remove the whole side sill to jiggle things around, but then you need to hold it back up there to see where things are. I think you can adjust the back a little bit...

    BCM won't communicate... cannot read DTCs from PCM either

    I have not personally. I don't believe it's impossible to do, but it was generally recommended not to program with the clone pods at least just due to the somewhat sketchy nature of them. They aren't necessarily original hardware, so there was always a question of whether they had everything...

    Battery Dead - Want am I in for?

    Oof, yeah, the service manual instructions on that one look fun. I would first try to confirm exactly where the problem is though before doing that kind of surgery. I don't think it's actually that hard to do if you had to make the cutout, it's just kind of daunting to cut a big hole in the...

    Gen 2 Battery Relocation

    Maybe too late since you've already bought one, but one option that might make relocation easier would be to go to a modern lightweight racing style battery or something. Definitely more expensive, but could be a lot easier to mount as you have a lot less weight to deal with and maybe even a...

    New Owner San Antonio

    Congrats on the car! RSI does seem like a mixed bag from what I've heard around here as well. I think they are still doing stuff as they were one of the first gen 5 turbo builds I thought (though I'm probably wrong there), but yeah, seems kind of hit and miss with them. I've only ever heard...

    BCM won't communicate... cannot read DTCs from PCM either

    This is more or less what the Dart looks like at the moment. Older picture, but I don't think I've really changed anything externally since it was taken. And yeah, I finally managed to snag a DRB III off Ebay some time ago. I bought one of the WiTech VCI pod clones before that. It worked...

    Battery Dead - Want am I in for?

    More is generally better, especially since you've got a lot of displacement to turn over. That being said, I've managed to jump my car with one of those portable Li-Ion packs that's only "designed" to jump a large V6 or small V8 okay. Mopar tends to use gear reduction starters for some extra...

    mopar race exhaust on a gen 4?

    Yep, that's a pretty infamous fastener. Good to hear that it all went together well. Mine is pretty tight to the shielding as well. I think the muffler is a little different diameter or something. On my old street Borlas you could tell they didn't sit quite in the middle of the side sill...

    BCM won't communicate... cannot read DTCs from PCM either

    Hey, nothing wrong with buying something damaged and fixing it up. It doesn't make it any less great of a car and it's all about what you're willing to deal with and fix. If it's nothing too serious it also lets you spread out the cost of the car over time. That was basically my 67 Dart...

    I ask for help

    Yeah, my mom was just going through this on her gen 1. She has been looking at getting the solid windows for a longer trip she had coming up for several months and managed to stumble across some that were listed for sale here. I think it's something you kind of just have to keep your eyes and...

    Looking for engine, 05 Ram SRT10

    Ebay or Google in general are probably your best bet. Prefix may still have some as well. I am currently going through this on my Viper as I snapped a rod on the track. Fortunately, it looks like my block could be saved as I didn't have any holes in it, just some gouges, but I was looking...

    New Viper owner in Dallas Texas!

    Isn't Viper Exchange down in the Texas area or am I way off? Not exactly a dealer in the same sense of being directly connected with Dodge, but definitely specialists in Vipers. I'm not sure Viper techs are even a thing anymore with the car out of production. Most of the dealers don't even...

    I ask for help

    Sliding windows might be very difficult to find, especially in Europe. My understanding is only one or two companies made them, and neither one is still making them as far as I know, so any set you find will likely be used. Somewhere like Ebay or Facebook is honestly probably going to be your...

    Hello everyone from Italy

    Very cool! Vipers are a rare enough sight around the US, so always fun to hear about some more in Europe. Hope it treats you well and you get the chance to enjoy it!

    Serpentine belt

    The only thing I can think of with that is the tensioner has a nub that sticks out that is supposed to sit in a notch on the front cover to keep it from rotating. I would assume that would be easy to tell if it wasn't sitting right though as it would probably not just be offset but probably...

    Serpentine belt

    That's pretty bizarre. Have you done anything to the car? I've had my belt on and off more times than I can count while dealing with my power steering and have never had an issue. Modern serpentines rarely seem to have issues. Sounds like something isn't where it's supposed to be though...

    Battery Dead - Want am I in for?

    I don't think these cars are quite as picky about batteries as some European cars or other more high tech stuff. Probably the easiest thing would just be to pop the truck and charge the battery directly if you can. That would take most of the variables out with the alarm system. Even if it...
