    My steering rack has a slight leak, so I was asking about the rack itself... I found the tie rod information... I'm just wondering if the rack itself is based on a Dakota...

    Steering Rack - Dakota?

    I know the outer tie rods are from a Dakota... is the whole steering rack also?? I can't seem to find a part # cross reference, my guess is the inner tie rods are Viper specific, so its not a direct bolt-in, which would be why the part #'s aren't interchangeable. That's my guess... Anyone...

    Sebring Rear View Mirror Install

    Yes, two... Cost and power. 1. the mirrors you speak of are hard to find and most are trashed used (worn buttons, etc). Cheapest new I found was close to $300 for orange display. 2. Power - the power for the mirrors in the Viper is constant on... Until I figure out how to change this to...

    Misfire without any codes?

    Looks like I got it... I reset the PCM... I had the car sitting with no battery while I was working... when I put everything back together I couldn't properly prime the fuel system.... I didn't know about setting the TPS, so I was fluttering the throttle to get it running... I set...

    Clutch Pedal Lowering Link - Who has installed it?

    I did compare them, and they are exactly the same length. The PO must have already installed it... Anyone need this kit??

    Clutch Pedal Lowering Link - Who has installed it?

    I ordered this kit... but this morning when I went to install it, it appears to be the exact same link as I am expected to remove. There are a few small mods from the previous owner on the car, is it possible that they have already done this? The length of the links are the same... Don't...

    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    Thank you!!! 1. the ARP Paperwork says to use 120 ft lbs when tightening. Sound right? 2. I will double check this when installing the heads. 3. I did add a new Thermostat and Gasket, but before I put it all together, I hear I should drill holes in the thermostat to aid in air bubble...

    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    Well, fingers crossed because I already moved the engine a few times to rotate the pistons to the top of the block... so I hope nothing moved! I would assume I could see it if they did. I ordered the ARP thread cleaner through my local speed shop... It will arrive tomorrow... I don't suspect...

    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    Why shouldn't I rotate the engine with the head off? I lubricated the cylinders by wiping them down with oil before I did... How else are you supposed to clean off the piston tops? I was able to secure a set of ARP head studs to reassemble... overkill I know, but they were free... I have all...

    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    I have begun to remove the heads to replace the head gaskets and, likely the drivers side head. Who has done this before... I had some questions... Is there a write up somewhere? The factory manuals are kind of a joke on some topics...
