    Ref; Ordering Parts From Tator Dodge

    EXACT story !! Not only that, but free shipping ! On top of that, he has personally taken up the crusade on my behalf to get my right side sill cover replaced under warranty even though my car recently celebrated it's 7th birthday. He has called my local dealers "service" manager several times...

    Gen 1 Head gasket problem is explained at last

    JonB, re-torquing the heads periodically should help preserve the original gaskets ? That sounds reasonable, has anybody else used this method successfully ? I just went over my engine very carefully and did not see any indication at all of seepage, but I'm assuming that this would be visible on...

    Car is 'twitchy' after alignment...

    Re: Car is \'twitchy\' after alignment... I just had all four corners re-aligned. Now, the car pulls slightly to the right and is also a little "twitchy" on rough pavement. I'm told it's a tire wear problem and replacing the front tires (the rears are brand new) should take care of the...

    Transmission info please

    OK, what's the normal lifetime for a tuner-car or race-track OEM transmission ? Do they seem to fail after a certain amount of track time, or is it a mileage issue ? Also, why doesn't the GM counterpart doesn't have the same failure rate, even though the Viper box is supposed to be...

    Viper Car Cover suggestions

    I have the Kimberly 4 layer cover sold by Big Sky. Great fit, pretty decent price, BUTT, on both of my cars (same cover)I end up with a residue that cannot be removed with-out a thorough washing. It may be the salt or the humidity in the air, but I won't cover either car until they need a wash...

    Transmission info please

    OK, time for the TUNERS to speak up. "How can you run 600 to 800HP cars with satisfactory results", while street cars are losing transmissions ? Is there an upgrade, special lubricant, shift secrets, or silent replacement transmission program ? J.H. ?? D.L. ?? Or is the BIG secret to not...

    Transmission info please

    The replacement unit I'm installing is certainly a Viper T-56. Has the correct bell housing and the snake head on the extension housing. I also have a third unit for parts in the future. The Viper manual says the trans is rated for 450lbs torque. Doesn't sound like it would take much more than...

    Transmission info please

    As my 5th gear is giving me problems, I obtained another transmission (used) to install in my car. Reading the '94 Viper shop manual, it says that the transmission should have the VIN# stamped onto a pad on the left rear of the transmission. I checked the unit I am going to install, and there...

    English reviews of the Viper...

    National pride is a great thing. Do you know why the Brit's favor room temp beer over our barbaric habit of refrigeration ? Lucas electronics !

    Help, 2 gearboxes distroyed in one day

    My car has a "missing" 5th gear. The shifter moves into 5th and goes into the detent postion, but when you let up on the clutch, there is only painful grinding sounds. 1st thru 4th are just fine, as are 6th and reverse. I've been able to drive the car and just go 4th to 6th without any problem...

    Winter is coming

    My trans has bad 5th gear synchros. I figure this winter will be the perfect time to remove and rebuild it. Just so I have an idea, what is it like to pull the trans ? Should be fairly straight forward, but are there any tricks or things to look out for ? Should the clutch be replaced at this...

    Looking for Viper(snake) related license plate themes. Help out here>

    I tried to get "BAD ASP", but would you believe that in a state with about 6 Vipers, it's already taken ?! Probably some **** mustang owner. I also heard another one today (from my mom !) "OK2ENVE".

    Aftermarket airboxes

    How do I know if I have an aftermarket box or not ? It has K&N decals on it, and red hoses to the throttle bodies, and the front of the box is held to the rear of the box with four lever tension clamps. I assumed it was a stock box with K & N filters and...

    How to purge the coolant ????

    Several auto service facilities here are offering a vacuum cooling system service. This sound pretty safe to me. If I understand, the old coolant is evacuated and the new coolant is sucked into the system and eliminates all air pockets and bubbles. Sounds right to me, and at $69 including a...

    wheel alignment------Marv S ?

    Car goes to the alignment shop tomorrow. I have spoken with the head tech, and he understands both the chassis manual I provided him, and the spec's that Marv S supplied. BUT, he said the spec's all call for alignment with the car sitting at a particular ride height which is set by special...

    Heel and toe seems difficult in the Viper

    Heel on a low gas pedal, and the ball of the foot on a raised brake pedal trying to blip the gas, and modulate brake pressure sounds like a chiropractor's dream come true. P.S. Does anybody else catch themselves leaning to port in the captains chair ?

    Heel and toe seems difficult in the Viper

    I always thought the heel went on the brake pedal, and the toes went on the gas ? I would think (and have practiced) that it's much easier to to keep a constant pressure on the brake pedal and blip the gas with the toes. That sure works the best in my Camaro, but the pedals are all even and...
