    Dash needed - 96 rt10

    Hoping this wouldn’t happen. I was trying to remove my dash today for refinishing. Everything was going great then “pop”. The three push type clips above the instrument cluster broke (literally snapped). The plastic dash is so brittle so breaking doesn’t really surprise me. I also removed the...

    Fuel pump 96 RT10

    96 RT10 I’m having problems when starting. Low/no fuel pressure. Probably a stuck check valve in the fuel pump, don’t know. Apparently to replace the fuel pump means that I have to drop the rear axle or drill through the trunk. I don’t want to do either. Is there another solution?

    Fuel Pump DIY?

    I sent my 1996 RT-10 into the dealer because it is having trouble starting. It will start but it takes 2-3 trys, then runs perfectly. They just called and told me it needed a new fuel pump. They said that fuel pressure is dropping off to nothing after I turn the car off. They gave me the...

    Fuse Mystery

    I have a 96 RT10. About 3 years ago, the fan motor stopped working. I could feel cold air and warm air when the car was moving. I took it to the local dealership in Ringgold and they told me that they replaced the fuse. The tech told me that if I had any more problems, it was probably the...

    AC Blower motor

    I have a 96 RT10. The AC blower motor no longer works. I have looked everywhere for it, literally. The motor is not longer produced in any form. Do any of you have ANY ideas? I will probably need to find a salvaged motor but I don't have any good resources for that.

    Radar help

    I was driving to Atlanta from Chattanooga last week. I had my radar on and I passed through two obvious speed traps with no reaction from my detector. In one speed trap, there were two troopers sitting in the median pointing radar in both directions at the same time. It should have gone crazy. I...

    last night I was watching Speed Channel's story on the new Pontiac GTO and I learned for the first time this American muscle car is coming from Australia. What is wrong with this picture? I realize that this isn't new news to some of you but it really hit me wrong.

    I swear I can drive a quarter of a mile blindfolded and hit 20 mustangs and 5 corvettes. They are everywhere. I drove in a parade last Thursday and my Viper was the only one (8 other Vettes though). What gives? Why is Ford and Chevy flooding the market this way to the detriment of the whole...
