    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    The part number stamped on the dipstick should be 4763791AC or AD (97 to 02 - NOT 96 GTS) Thanks Tom

    Best place to tap onto battery voltage:

    Was planning on the M10 power stud on the main fuse box but saw some articles of ways to tap using "tapping" fuse adapters. Not keen on adding load to an existing fuse but something like cigarette lighter would be a candidate. Are there any unused fuse or relay stations that have battery on one...

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clips: Now 2 Types: Which???

    The new ones have "fingers" to keep window pin in center of slot. The old one did not. QUESTION: Use "fingers" or grind out? QUESTION: Anyone make higher quality ones? (These cost $8 shipped from Amazon - why pay $20 for garbage when you can pay $8 LOL!) These are everywhere on eBay FOR...

    Gen 2 Regulator Shuttle / Clip: Are there better ones?

    They are everywhere for cheap. They seem to break. Was OEM better? Is there a better quality out there? And what are these black ones?

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clip Shuttle Replacement: are there good ones?

    These clips are everywhere for cheap on eBay, etc. Is there a better grade available? (wouldn't be surprised the OEM used a different material like fiber reinforced nylon instead of just plain) Also wondering if I'm doing something wrong having replaced 3 LHS and 1 RHS on my 96 GTS over the...

    GTS parts manuals pdf

    These existed many years ago, I think thru Roe Racing. There may have even been CD's. I need parts manuals for 1996 and 2002 GTS: part numbers for oil pan, dipstick tube and dipstick. Thanks Tom PS. I had these but I'm pretty sure they went bye bye when my HDD crashed on my primary computer...

    Using E85 for the Nitrous Wet System - Timing Considerations

    Still trying to figure out how to pull a few degrees for a 150 shot in a 1996 GTS PCM. So far there isn't a clean solution. (I don't think there is a Lingenfelter "LNC-2000" for Viper.) Then it occurred to me if E85 was used instead of gasoline (car remains fueled on gasoline) for the wet...

    1996 GTS fuel pump replacement options: 255 Walbro and Mat?

    I'd love to find a 2-stage pump but that is a losing proposition. Aftermarket units are not 2-stage and the OE is only 190 lhp which is pretty wimpy and very unattractive considering used prices of a module ranging up to $1500. A Gen 3 pump (255 lhp) would be a no-brainer but I don't think...

    What is a 963318 stamped 852 cast cam?

    961138 stamped on the end 852 cast in the base circle Thought it was a stock cam removed but looks like it has big lobes.

    1996 GTS Last minute headlight maintenance

    I'm days away from driving GTS from NV to home in PA and finally got around to checking headlight pattern on side of building. Not only were the lows weak (and the highs decently bright), there was no similarity whatsoever between the light pattern between the L and RHS headlights. IN...

    Mail ordering dealer O2 sensors for 96 GTS: any chance getting wrong connector type?

    Seems each generation has a unique connector type. (this sounds very problematic if I need extensions for my long tube headers.) Car in NV and I'm in PA and would like to have parts mail ordered and waiting for me when I show up. I was hoping to order from a dealer that gives discount rather...

    96 GTS: Heater/AC: Low Vent Flow Velocity: Possible causes?

    I'm in PA and will be fixing car in NV so just trying to some homework. Blower motor sounds like it is running properly Proper vents active for Heat and AC but flow is very low No sound of "rushing air" in high speed If I had to guess: Something restricting the blower inlet Blower cage fan is...

    O2 Cable Extensions: Yes or No?

    I have headers and wonder if I should get Cable Extensions for the front OE O2's or just make up the distance with soldered wire? With extensions, now 2 connector integrities required for good signal. Soldering is the BEST. ....but soldering is a RPITA.... EDIT: OH GREAT: "Oxigen travels...

    Any Dodge dealers sell discount? Need OEM O2's.

    I have no cats, so I think junk rear O2's is a non-issue, but the fronts have to be proper. I was thinking of Woodhouse. There are dozens of places like allmoparparts, dodgeparts, moparonlineparts, factorychryslerparts, etc. etc. ad infinitum that I wouldn't trust to get true OE and not MOPAR...

    Friend has to move car, KeyFob not opening car. Need to explain how to get in through back window. Reason I need pic is that the roll bar makes it virtually impossible to reach or see the latch. Just a pic would suffice. I thought it would be an easy internet search but NOTHING - I'm...

    1996 GTS Latest Factory Flash Before SCT Flash

    SCT recommends getting latest factory flash before flashing tune. The closest 4 dealers cannot flash a 96 GTS. They no longer have the DRBIII / WDS to do the flash. They could not tell me what flashes are available - but if I bring the car in and they hook up to it, they will get a list of...

    Door Panel: Aft edge pulling away from door then catches on weather stripping

    Both sides. Seems there is only a screw on the bottom and just the snap over the inner sheet metal at the window opening. And it really doesn't want to go solid against the inner metal when pushed either. Seems fasteners along the aft edge are needed.

    Hot August Nights: Sparks, NV Tuesday Cruise for late model

    HAN is a big deal here. But it is aimed at <1977 cars. However, there is a cruise (yes, cruising the main drag) in Sparks NV on Tuesday, August 8th. It is along the main drag, Victorian Ave. from 15th street to Pyramid. I'll be there in "Bad Viper" 96 GTS, all black w/red stripes.
