    Re: help with 02 OEM Brake calipers... what happens when rubber seals melt off? What Don't want to sound like a axxhole but maybe you should not work on you brakes if you have no ideas about what you're doing or how brakes work. The seals you're talking about are nothing more that the "dust...

    steering gear crossmember recall necessary ?

    If those engineers were so smart, may be a recall would not have been necessary:dunno: in the first place? DC define the problem as resulting from: "agressive driving such as racing" Notice that Mike said that: " the car is never driven hard" Therefore my comment that he don't need it. As for my...

    steering gear crossmember recall necessary ?

    If you don't track your car or run race/slick tires on it, you don't need too. On mine, I decided not to do it but, I got all the parts ( for free) for the next owner ( after I'm gone) to do it if he want too. Being a recall Dodge has to do it for free with no time limitation ( could be 50 years...

    B&W GTS at BJ today

    What i did notice is how the auctionner was spending a lot more time and effort on some cars ( or owners) than others , going so far as to stop the bidding process when there was no higher bidder ( instead of calling it sold) in order to give some time for some BJ and/or VIP peoples to "hype"...

    Harbor Freight Float battery charger...I have a question.

    yes, run 2 wires with an SAE 2 poles plugs to the battery jump post (+) on the underhood electrical center and (-) to the ground stud on frame under the washer bottle. Cut the end of the wires on the charger and solder another 2 pole SAE connector, after that you just reach through the side of...

    Harbor Freight Float battery charger...I have a question.

    Hi Jim: With so many vehicles with different types and size of batteries on 24/7 float chargers, I did a lot of research to find out what is the best charging and float voltage for each type. For a regular lead flooded battery, the maximum voltage , not to exceed 48 hours is between 2.35 to...

    Harbor Freight Float battery charger...I have a question.

    I should add that the Deltran battery tender plus is also made in china.( at least from my web search) . I'm not saying that to put them down since the HB is also made in china, simply to point out that marketing has a lot more to do in pricing than just quality.

    Attention ACR owners

    Softer springs will compress more under the static weight of the car and therefore, without readjusting the the ride height with the threaded collar on the shock body, ir's normal for the car to sit lower. Luc 00GTS

    No Quality Control on New Vipers

    Well, if the manual was wrong that would be another QC problem:) Seriously, are you sure that you're looking at the procedure for a Coupe and not for the RT that do indeed have a pop-riveted panel?

    No Quality Control on New Vipers

    From the 2000 service manual chapter 14 fuel system: "..the fuel pump module is suspended in fuel in the fuel tank." NOTE: The Viper coupe do not have Fuel Tank Closeout Panel.To remove the fuel tank a hole will have to be cut in the trunk pan.

    No Quality Control on New Vipers

    Yes, you do, the fuel pump is inside the tank and to acces it and/or remove it on the Gen2 GTS you need to cut a big piece of of the panel that is the front part of the trunk. Dodge sell a "fuel tank closeout panel" that come with a template to cut the panel and then is pop-riveted/glued in...

    No Quality Control on New Vipers

    We all know that we don't buy a Viper for it's fit and finish or attention to details or refined driving experience but rather for it's performance, look and raw driving experience. Every car, and the Viper is no exception is built/designed to a price point and Dodge correctly choose to spend...

    No Quality Control on New Vipers

    Driving my new 00GTS from the dealer to my home (300 miles trip) I noticed a LOT of noise coming from the top of the windshield. The next morning I went to my local Dodge dealer, explained the problem and took the sevice manager for a ride. He agreed with me and told me they "will look at it". I...

    Explain Road Racing

    road racing and open-tracking are not the same thing even if they are both done on a race track. In open-tracking you try to go as fast that you can around a track ( that's why it's also called time trial) but you do not directly compete ( race) against other drivers. Road racing (also known...

    Differential Fluid Replacement

    I'm a little lazy so, what I have been using for years is a $10 universal windshield washer pump from Kragen. The Pump run on 12V and has 1 inlet and 1 outlet and you just buy some vaccum tubing to put on the in and out ports. To suck the fluid from the differential you put the "in" tubing in...

    Whats with this Seat bolster on this GTS for sale??

    When i first got my car, I used the bolster to make it easier to get out, end result being that I teared up the bolster in less than 1 year ( BTW the bolster is not made of leather but of vinyl) I had the seat back replaced under warranty and since then i have been using the latch on the door...
