    PCV Valve for 96 RT10 Hi all, My 96 RT10 has 15K on it so I am flushing ALL the fluids and replacing the sparks plugs, etc. Everything was going fine until I found out that dodge seems to have discontinued the PCV valve for my engine. Can anyone confirm this is true. I was told by the local...

    I broke somthing....

    Thanks a lot for the help. Ended up buying a used diff from Paul, it has only 9000 miles on it. Even if I have the same bad luck with this diff (failing at 15k) as I had with my orgional, it should still last me 5 years based on my current usage. :2tu: The dealer will be replacing it at a...

    I broke somthing....

    One last question... the local tech also pointed out that my valve cover seals needed to be replaced. I figure I can do this myself, anything special about replacing these gaskets? I recall when replacing the oil pan that new bolts should be use every time the pan is removed as the bots stretch...

    I broke somthing....

    Thanks for the replies! I called a local deaer to see what the cost of parts were for the dif, and found that the gears themselves can't be bought separately from the entire assembly. Any tips on sourcing new gears? I found that all bearings cost about $275.00 total.

    I broke somthing....

    So it turns out it was the rear dif that has gone. Tech says that the main bearing failed and threw a bunch of metal into the diff. :dunno: A few questions for anyone who would be kind enough to respond... Quoted $3660 for a new diff and labor, does that seem fair? What about repairing...

    You know what! The grinding sound is worse when turning to the left, putting more pressure on my right rear tire. You may be exactly right!

    Hood rubbing against front fascia, anyone know how to make adjustment?

    Took the viper out for a quick ride today and noticed the paint wearing where the hood meets the front fascia over the left-front tire. See picture... As you can see the gap is wider in the front than in the rear. I am not sure what would have made the hood/fascia shift (perhaps auto-x...
