    Shifter question

    I've been driving my Crossfire lately and recently went back to my Viper. I've noticed that the shifter does not appear to be spring loaded like the Crossfire, i.e. it does not automatically return to the neurtal position between third and fourth. As I recall, I had to pull against a spring...

    Giving My '03 SRT10 a Rest.........

    Since my 16 year old son took over my '04 Ram Hemi Sport, I'd been using my Viper as my daily driver. It's done fine; I have had no problems. However, as the mileage on the clock began to creep over 30K, I decided on Plan B.........purchase another set of wheels. I wanted a sports car, not too...

I explained that I drive an exotic car and wanted to make absolutely certain that I could personally park it and no valet would touch it. The response.............."No problem". Upon arriving, I...

    I have an '03 SRT 10 which had 4000 miles on the clock when I purchsaed it. I immediately opted to purchase a 7/70 extended warranty from Chrysler. So far, the warranty has paid for a new passenger side window regulator, new right front shock, new clutch pedal assembly, and a new oil pan gasket...

    Interior door panel & console

    The clear covering on both my console and driver's side interior panel is beginning to peel off. Has anyone else had this, or a similar, problem???? My dealer tells me that my 7/70 extended warranty does not cover interior trim. A new door panel is in the $1200 range, Don

    Gasoline Octane?

    Lately, there have been several articles in the automotive section of various newspapers concerning octane. It was stressed that we frequently pay for more octane that our cars really need. Their rule of thumb was that if your car doesn't knock with a lower octane, you're wasting money buying...

    extended warrantee advise, please

    There's no doubt in my mind that the extended warranties are worth while. I've already had the right front shock, both hoses to the oil ooler, and the passenger side window actuator replaced under my extended waranty. It's already paid for itself. Moreover, it increases the value of your car...

    Extended Warranty

    It's worth it even if he decides to sell the car. The warranty is transferrable one time for a $50 fee. Clearly, this will increase the value of the car to any potential buyer. Don

    Cat Question......

    Bear with me, I'm not a gearhead........ I know that there are 2 cats on each side of the Gen III's, but where are they located? Are they both in front of the muffler? Where are the O2 sensors located? Can I remove one set of cats without reqiuring O2 simulators? If I install high flow...

    Tire Inflation Kit?

    I've just had my third set of rear run flats installed. They're slightly more expensive, but that doesn't bother me as much as the apparent reduced mileage. I expected 18-20K miles, as I used to get with my GEN I. This last set of run flats were down to the wear bars at 12.5K miles. Is this...
