The Threat of E15
I'd like to hear more about the outboard problems - specifically whether they are carbureted? If 10% ethanol doesn't affect plastics, seals, etc, then 15% shouldn't either. The only cars that may perform differently are those older carburetted engines for which the use of 15% ethanol (and...- Tom F&L GoR

94 r/t 10 Mobil 1 ?
There should be no correlation. Motorcycle oils are typically common sump engine and transmission, so they are still API SG (old category). This category had fewer or no friction modifiers, which would have caused problems in the clutch plates. However, this category isn't bad because the...- Tom F&L GoR

Cant take early Vipers into Canada?????????? WTF??
I bought my '94 from Canada and imported into the US in '98. To do so, owner had to switch seatbelts from mounted on the floor (identical to the newer airbag car locations) to the goofy in-the-door belts. However, all mounting locations (in the door, in the floor, over the shoulder, etc) were...- Tom F&L GoR

Viper Beater ....
I don't know if it looks cool; it does have sandblasted side sills behind the front wheels, same for inner rear fender, front fascia has lots of stone marks, front glass has a few chips and the clearcoat behind the rear window is peeling up pretty good now. Front fascia scrapes, hood paint...- Tom F&L GoR

100K, finally
Well, some of that was Canadian fuel, so the average cost was probably higher. The original owner drag raced and then I autocrossed, so that showed up mid-life as two minor transmission repairs. (Is there really such a thing?) The T56 is now a T58 (T56 plus parts from two others.) Used lots...- Tom F&L GoR

100K, finally
My green '94 RT, bought from Canada in '98 with a metric speedo. At 34,150 KM (21,344 miles) I swapped speedometers and the replacement had 7,056 showing. To reach 100K, I had to get to 100,000-21,344+7,056=85,712 miles. Did it this week, 86,080 showing. Now that I have a 50 mile one-way mile...- Tom F&L GoR

One-time offer; powdercoated 40mm calipers same price
I had a customer order 40mm rear calipers, they were disassembled and properly powdercoated, but then (no questions asked) he lost his Viper. So I have the powdercoated calipers back, will reassemble them (so I know they will be in fine shape) and sell them for the normal $700 (plus $18 shipping...- Tom F&L GoR

Today's Standing Mile Results for My SRTC
I think PhoenixGTS was one of the folks that changed 5th gear. Besides the Corvette, I believe it is Aston Martin that uses the T56 and 1-4 gears are same as Viper; 5-6 are "better."- Tom F&L GoR

driving gen 1's - impressions....
Gen 1 will make you feel like you can be a better driver; newer cars make you feel like you already are. If you want the feeling that you can't wait until the next time you drive it; Gen 1. If you want to feel like you just won, Gen 2,3,4. No argument that either would be good. That said...- Tom F&L GoR

Brake Caliper & Ebrake Removal ?
Yes, two attaching bolts; 15mm socket and a 6mm allen wrench. Put your hand over the anti-rattle spring because it will fly off. Do not unscrew the brake lever arm; the internals can't support the resistance of a rusty bolt. To get the brake cable off, grab the ball end with pliers and unhook...- Tom F&L GoR

Intermittent Squeal - Replace Lifters or Throwout Bearing??
I had a roller lifter fail. A few oil changes prior I found a teeny part of a teeny washer, which turned out to the the thrust washer keeping the needles of the roller in place. When the roller finally stopped rolling (after 1/3 of the needles fell out) the squeal was that of a slipping...- Tom F&L GoR

Oil and tans fluid
Let's not do this. An ATF is about like an SAE 20 and maybe people thought it would help loosen or thin the heavy sludge; I really can't think of a good reason. ATF is simply a very good hydraulic oil and does not have any protection against the things that cause sludge, like blowby, the acids...- Tom F&L GoR

Gen1 Oil Pan Baffles
TexasPettey, There was a Gen 1 baffled pan available from Mopar; if you find pictures you can see what they were selling. I bought one as soon as I got the car and didn't think to take my own pictures. Can also look here at a Dave's Big Brakes version for ideas...- Tom F&L GoR

New oil filter brought oil pressure way up!
Someone will have to say where the oil pressure sending unit in Gen 3/4 is.... If the pressure is measured after the filter, then the filter is less restrictive and the higher pressure indicates the potential for higher oil flow throughout the engine. Good. If the pressure is measured before...- Tom F&L GoR

Has anyone ever had this problem with the turn signal switch not turning off ?
Only on an older car have I seen this, but the hook that catches when you move the turn signal stalk is unhooked by a finger on the steering wheel. All parts in there were plastic, so it sounds like one of the plastic un-hook fingers has broken off. As Mark mentioned, this mechanism (or...- Tom F&L GoR
