    Failed windshield wiper motor?

    Took the Viper ('96 RT/10) out the other day to warm it up as it has been sitting for almost two months and it started to rain. When I turned on the wipers the passenger side went slower and appeared to be struggling. This caused them to get out of time and the blades got tangled. Has anyone...

    Who has spun their car?

    Spun mine twice. Partially because I'm used to a Porsche 911 that has gobs of rear traction and the other because of cold rear tires. I believe the Viper needs more time to warm the rear tires because of the huge size. In fair summer weather mine still needs more than 15 minutes of spirited...

    ACR wheels made in Japan?

    Forged BBS wheels are only made in Germany or in Japan. The cast variety are made in various places by BBS or under contract. As for their quality, BBS forged wheels are considered about the best in the world. If you look on most racing cars as in world class GT1, GT2, GT3, and Formula 1 you...

    Clay bar secrets

    As mentioned above I would highly recommend something like Griot's speed wax or Meguires final show spray for the lubrication. That is what Meguires and Griot's both recommend and it does work great. MGH

    So What brand of headers are these???

    They look just like the out of production Hooker headers that are on my car. The collector looks identical although the Hooker headers were ceramic coated. I wonder if Borla bought the Hooker design as Hooker last made these 2 or 3 years ago? MGH

    Difference between Mopar T&D's and T&D's

    Re: Difference between Mopar T&D\'s and T&D\'s Not much horsepower increase. I've heard around 25bhp mentioned. But it gives you more confidence knowing that there is less friction in the system and with the roller on the valve tip there has to be a fair amount of less wear in the valve guide...

    Engine Management

    Although 'Purdue Viper', the Viper is normally aspirated stock. Most all Turbo cars can have large horsepower increases from increasing boost with their chips which is almost all from boost increase and very little from timing and such. Whereas normall aspirated cars see little increases. I own...

    Harland Sharp Rocker install

    Just got around to measuring one cylinder's pushrods in preparation for my Harland Sharp rocker install (Intake & Exhaust). It looks like I need about 7.3"~7.4" pushrods for my '96 RT/10. Does this seem shorter than normal. The stock rockers pulled out of that cylinder were slightly under...

    Ways to reduce Gen 1 Cabin Heat?

    I would check your HVAC controls as mine is a '96 RT/10 and I don't have that problem. The controls are kind of weird. If I have it in off or vent(first click to the left) or in A/C it is fine but if I have it in heat (first click to the right of off) it will blow some warm air even with the...

    Ways to reduce Gen 1 Cabin Heat?

    When I installed Headers and a Borla exhaust on my car I removed the Cats and replaced them with a Stainless straight pipe that even though it was only about 17" long I had them ceramic coated to reduce the radiant heat and it has made a noticeable difference. The sills still get warm but not...

    Replacing a Gen 1 Computer (idle related)

    Chad, I'm not an expert but I don't think that a '96 RT/10 has a plain jane Gen 1 computer. I believe it is almost a Gen 2 due to the addition of OBDII in '96. Maybe someone more knowledgable will pipe in with part #'s. I am interested to find this out also as I have a '96 RT. MGH

    What's your choice of fluids?

    Re: What\'s your choice of fluids? I'm sorry to hear that somebody was bad mouthing Redline. I have been using Redline in my Porsches for over 15 years including a lot of track time. And the Society of Automotive Engineers seems to agree with me as their oil tests show that Redline exceeds...

    What's your choice of fluids?

    Re: What\'s your choice of fluids? Bonkers I don't know where or what you have heard about Redline but if you check the SAE spec sheets, Redline exceeds Mobil 1 in all categories. Some by a large margin. Most Mobil 1 weights do not even meet the new European oil requirements and the others...

    What's your choice of fluids?

    Re: What\'s your choice of fluids? Redline fluids all the way. Redline ATF in the tranny, 75w90 in the rear end. And something like Prestone Extended life anti-freeze with distilled water and 2x bottles Redline Waterwetter in the coolant. Also Redline Power steering fluid.

    Newbee here...Is a 96 RT/10 a Gen 2? Did they come with Pwr Windows?

    I have a '96 RT/10 and it can be a little frustrating not knowing what you have in common with the other models. Yes to the Gen2 Aluminum suspension and rear exhaust. Why does it have 15bhp more than regular Gen1's? Maybe because of the rear exit exhuast? Or is it because of the newer PCM...

    urethane bushings

    Hoosier Daddy, how does the car ride, handle? Are they noisy? Did Archer modify the A-arms with grease fittings? Thanks, MGH

    urethane bushings

    The Prothane sway bar bushings are greaseable. You should be able to find them for around $15 an axle. Most all of the performance places sell them or repackage them as their own. I've only had mine on the car for a few hundred miles but so far they are quiet and I haven't added any grease yet. MGH

    urethane bushings

    I think I answered this myself. Northwind Engineering in Wisconsin seems to have a lot of their own custom made stuff. Sounds pretty good. They are at: http://northwind.viperclub.org/northwindsummer05.pdf

    urethane bushings

    The only thing I see from Roe is a set af Prothane swaybar bushings. Does anyone know of anyone that sells bushing for the A-Arms to replace the rubber pieces? I already have a set of the Prothane swaybar mounts and yes, they are nice pieces for the price and greasable but I would like bushings...

    Side sill heat

    I removed my cats on my '96 RT/10 and ceramic coated the straight pipe replacements and mine still get fairly warm but a lot cooler than stock. MGH

    Alignment for lowered cars???

    I live in the wrong area but I would think that any race shop that does alignments would be able to do the job or let you know if they can't get it into specs. Some suspensions you can't get into specs if the cars are lowered too much as there is only so much adjustment available. I can't advise...

    PCM in a '96 RT/10?

    PCM in a \'96 RT/10? Wondering if anyone knows what type of PCM is in my '96 RT/10. Some of the car is Gen II (suspension, exhaust-rear exit) and some is Gen I. Dodge lists the car as 415bhp which is more than GenI but less than Gen II (450) but the Tourqe as the same as Gen II (488~490). My...
