    Turbo Oil Drain Locations?

    As long as you have oil pressure, you can discharge above the sump cover in the pan. The walls above the cover are the same height regardless of 8, or 10qt pan.

    Hard top quesrion

    I believe they kept the same pin location for all Gen 1s. The latch handles were nearly identical, only the pins and sockets changed. The pins are removable for a swap. A '93 top would probably work up thru sometime mid-late '94.

    Looking for RT/10 Steering Crossmember

    Ha! That's my car in the bottom photo! The arrowspoint to the cracks that generated the front frame recall. Contact OldSchool via PM, or Don Scharf Auto in Wisconsin for salvage parts. In your case, Dodge just *might* make parts available for you. You could need some Club help here.

    Why does my parking brake get loose?

    I think the only part of the system that provides resistance to the handle & cables are the torsion springs that engage the caliper piston manual actuator arms. If the arms don't swing back when the lever is lowered, there is cable slack on that side and the equalizer bar in the console is...

    Gen 1 Emblem Color

    Some number of early black 93s had red Sneaky Pete medallions. I think something like 50 to 75.

    Gen 1 Emblem Color

    My '93 had Argent badges on it.

    Plugs and wires

    Quality Wires are a solid choice. I tried them, but they didn't fit my custom heat shields - couldn't get my fingers on the boots.

    Why does my parking brake get loose?

    I've seen this issue mentioned more frequently around the web of late and I've suffered from it for a while myself. One of the prime symptoms is pulling the handle and having it go vertical with no resistance. You can then ratchet it a few times and it will sort-of work normally. Several years...

    Smog Time again

    It's a 50 rpm range band. At light loads, our cars can buck around roughly.

    passenger side window quit working

    More often than not, door electronics issues are traced to this area. Copper wire work hardens with repeated flexing and the conductors break. I move the splices outside the umbilical tube to reduce repeats. Now my window, door lock indicator and LF door speaker work again!

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    You are correct on diameter - the Moog EV 252 is M15 male x M14 female. 1.5 thread pitch.

    96 dipstick indicator

    This is a good find Tom. Your tube is for a '92-'96.0 with the Gen 1 wet sleeve engine. The belled cap is correct for your G1 tube. It was designed to seat into the pan itself, (picture below) instead of the lower block flange area of all Gen 2s. All the tubes are the same diameter at the...

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    I was searching around the internet for inner tie rods yesterday evening. I found a MOOG master interchange lookup table by dimensions! There are several models within about 0.5" length variation. Only 1 is listed as available - the EV-324. Edit: EV-324 has the wrong inboard thread. Won't work...

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    Sidepiped RT's will get stupid loud very quickly if you gut them too aggressively. HF cats are fine, but I would definitely recommend some quality mufflers. I rode as a Viper Days instructor with a guy in a 95 RT/10 with gutted sidepipes way back in the day. The volume and resonance was so bad I...

    Heat shield wrap

    That manifold only runs up to around 235F. How hot do you recon those exhaust headpipes get? Don't bother with it.

    Leak question

    One other possibility is trans input shaft seal.

    Leak question

    ^^ True. ^^ Since the engine tilts slightly to the rear, a valve cover leak will usually drip from the lower rear corner.

    Very thorough and well illustrated. What was the piece of paper inside the door - assembly instructions from the production line?

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    Clearly, that is the outer tie rod end with the problem. Probably has the wrong thread diameter, or pitch for the tie rods. It's possible that both male and female threads are toast now.
