    Clicking noise from drive train when taking off from a stop

    Replacing the bearings is not hard, but its critical that you torque the rear bearings correctly at the axle nut. Only use premium bearings. They make some really cheap ones that don't last. On a Gen 1 with under 50k miles that has not been tracked, with no wheel play or excessive grease...

    Clicking noise from drive train when taking off from a stop

    The issue is the splines in the rear bearing hubs. They become worn and make a cracking noise on takeoff. Dodge had a service notice at one time to replace the rear wheel bearings. If the rear bearings are in good shape, you can just swap the left and right bearings. This allows the splines to...

    Jump Start a Gen 1 Safely

    Never jump start a Gen 1, you can damage the engine controller. The electronics are old and cannot take the power surge. Charge the battery first or replace it.

    Coilovers / suspension options Gen V

    Tractive is the only option if you want dual Mode. It can be tuned as well. MCS with a 500/800 spring rate would be best for you use if you delete dual mode

    Gen 3 supercharger system Questions

    You can make big power with the Paxton System, but the engine really is the weak link. I developed all the Viper SC systems with Paxton, supplied all the test vehicles and did our own durability tests. The standard kit, as supplied worked very well and was safe. Small changes can be made to the...

    Gen 3 supercharger system Questions

    The complete kit comes with tuning and gets the engine up to about 670hp. An aftermarket throttle body can get you another 10hp. A bigger air to water cooler will make the power more repeatable. If you dyno test the car, the air fuel can be optimized with a new calibration for the JTEC engine...

    OEM Sway Bar End Link Rebuild (w/ Pics)

    Reuse the stock sway bar link nuts. The aftermarket links come with a crush nut, which is not correct. The links are a taper fit and just need to be torqued correctly with standard production nut.

    OEM Sway Bar End Link Rebuild (w/ Pics)

    The stock links are a solid ball/socket design. Very durable and easily rebuilt with new dust boots, but it takes time to do right. Moog has a very good front replacement for 1992-2002 models. Rear links for are still available from Dodge for Gen 2,3,4. Aftermarket rear links tend to have a...

    WTB - Coilovers

    MCS single adjustable systems are around $3600 before shipping. Depending on use, the spring rates and valving can be done accordingly. Customer service is great and repairs are done quickly when needed. The design really controls the spring, keeping the ride compliant, even with higher spring...

    Gen. 2 Head gasket time

    I've done many a leak down on the V10's. Not so bad once you get all setup. With 2 people its a breeze. These Gen 2 engines don't blow head gaskets. The gaskets are multilayer steel and very strong. Check the coolant for hydrocarbons, (a block check),

    Door Hinge Wires

    When I run into this issue, I remove the door wiring harness and replace all the wires in the section of the harness that connects the door to the body. It takes a few hours but is the best fix.
