    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    steve e - I agree! NMviperguy - I'm not sure. I'm baffled by this. Like I said, Tremec backs Rockland Standard Gear's builds, so if they are good enough for the manufacturer, why wouldn't they be good enough for Dodge?? Dodge buys the T56 from Tremec. I bet if Tremec doesn't have one on the...

    Curb rash repair???

    Anyone know of a proven DIY process to fix curb rash? I can't remember who made it, but I saw a product the other day that looked like a form of Bondo for chrome. It had brief instructions on the back of the package, which of course made it look easy. Prep the wheel, apply the goop,pre-shape...

    Shifter boot effecting tranny shifts ????

    I'm trying to get the dealership to install my B&M and First Strike while the trans is out of the car. I saw they had the factory shifter hanging from the tunnel. It looks like he lowered the trans enough to get to the bolts and just undone it from there without going through the console...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Talked to customer service again this morning. They verified the trans has been ordered from overseas and the eta is August 18th. I still don't understand why they won't use the RSGear trans as Tremec backs them as a certified builder of their units??? I can get one delivered within 2 days...

    K&N Air intake system -Hmmmmm

    I have the K&N setup. It was on the car when I bought it. It seals well and doesn't contact anything. Maybe you had a bad one out of the box?? As far as the oiling and tiny holes, I haven't looked at mine yet, but I have seen that in the past with other K&N's on my other vehicles. I think...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Update... I took the clutch and flywheel kit to the dealer yesterday. It was nice to put a face to the service manager. He seems sincere in getting the car fixed. He told me the tranny order is being pushed by the SRT dept and hopefully will be here soon. They put a delivery date of 8/18 on it...

    Stock windows & Tint for TEXAS

    If the glass is factory tinted you can have the shop gauge it using their meter and split the difference to get the total of what you are looking for. I just had this issue on my 08 Ram 3500 dually. I had 3% and therefore couldnt get an inspection sticker. Here in Louisiana the law is 40% on the...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Well, that's what I was thinking at first. The Merry Christmas comment really cut through me and you can imagine my frustration. But now that the Dodge CS SRT group is involved things have changed. The dealer is one of the biggest in the South. They are always busy and I can't imagine having...

    Best clutch setup

    The Fidanza I bought has the position sensor pick up. I was told about the 03 and half of 04 year models having this issue. SPEC is working on a solution for theirs(some issue of bucking around 5000 rpm), but the Fidanza is supposed to work well. But I'm used to having problems That doesn't...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    I ordered the SPEC Stage 2+ kit and Fidanza flywheel today. Almost $500 cheaper than what the dealer wanted for an OEM clutch and no flywheel! Thanks Jon at Parts Rack (if I can say that on here...). Also talked to Salsbury and there seems to be a little more willingness to fix the car on...

    Shifting through the gears doesn't seem very smooth.

    Well we didn't want the little fella feeling inadequate, right?! I figured I would at least give him something positive to look forward to, instead the harshness of life that is a double entendre...lol

    Shifting through the gears doesn't seem very smooth.

    And that wasn't even racing or shifting hard!!

    Best clutch setup

    I don't race or launch it hard. I 'play' with it from time to time, but mostly cruising and car shows. I liked the response the same setup above gave my Mach 1. I talked to Jon at Parts Rack and he gave me some good insight and helped me decide to go with it. I went with the SPEC Stage 2+...

    Best clutch setup

    I'm sure ya'll saw this one coming...I need to know if there is a proven clutch setup for a stock 03 SRT/10. Or better yet, any to stay away from. I searched and couldn't come up with much (I always get the same identical results when I search on here for some reason). I'm thinking of doing...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Got a call from Salsbury ths morning. First thing he said was "they came and looked and told me to tell you Merry Christmas! They will fix it this time but if it comes back like this they won't do it again. Also, you need to give us $1400 for a clutch kit." :omg: Merry Christmas my f'ing...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Yeah...mine is stock. But i was in normal traffic at normal speeds. All the guy at Tremec would say is maybe there was a cracked tooth on the gear and it decided to go and took the rest with it. Makes sense I guess, but if i have driven the car anywhere near its limits since ive had it to cause...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Update... I ended up paying the transport cost to get it to Baton Rouge last week. By Wednesday the mechanic text me and sent a pic of the problem. 2nd gear was completely stripped. I called Tremec after realizing while I was in Detroit last week I was only 12 miles from their HQ so I...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    And now I just found out their is only 1 viper tech at Salsbury. A guy I have done business with outside the dealer ship before on my 08 Ram 3500. He told me he doesn't rebuild manual tranny's. Now what to do.... Haul the car up there only to be told they can't fix it either and then I have...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Aaaannndd it starts.................I knew it!!! So I stopped by my dealership Monday and the car hadn't moved (been there two weeks+). I was told they had to have a certified Viper tech go into the tranny and their guy didn't have the right tools, so it has to be sent to Baton Rouge...

    Short throw advice needed

    For clarification, can someone post a pic of the MGW, or a link of one? From what I am reading there are two different models being discussed here. The first strike, which is made by MGW, and 'THE' MGW? What is 'THE' MGW?

    Rb1 with sirius install

    From what I understand, mine is under the dash to the right of the center speaker ('03 convertible), but I haven't been in it to see. Do you happen to know what the most recent version of the NAV cd is for the RB1? Mine is 2003 or 04. Is there a more current version? If you have the NAV...

    Huge safety issue

    While trying to get my window drop to relearn(which still isn't working...) I found kinda the same thing. I did something to put the car in security mode and the doors would not open with me sitting inside. I was in my shop with the top down, but what if this happened during a crash and the top...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    You guys seem as bored as I am....too much time on your hands?? LOL Hopefully I will get some heads-up today as to when they will transfer the car to Baton Rouge. Being that my past experience with dealerships have been shady, to say the least, I keep nervously waiting for some bad news...
