'95 Coolant Leak - front center engine - steam trail
Thanks to SP and Dan Cragin team. my '95 is purring again no leaks. Needed water pump and a few other recommendations like hoses, etc. Since it was in shop made sense to oil change, change rear pads, and Dan even went ahead and swapped out my rough looking dash cover for a better one after some...- Titan1969

'95 Coolant Leak - front center engine - steam trail
Thanks in advance for any advice. I have had a great experience with my '95 and thanks to Dan Cragin and Specialty Performance, the car hasn't given me many issues....until now. I was leaking PS fluid and found the top hose that goes into the reservoir had a bad o-ring, no problem replaced...- Titan1969

1994 RT/10, might be buying one and needs some tips
I picked up by '95 in 2015 for $24K with 45K miles, unloved, basic maintenance was not done. I was fortunate to bring it to Dan Cragin in LA and he gave me a thorough list of what he recommended after inspection, which I did everything. This required $15K investment and to me was WELL worth it...- Titan1969

Gen 1 owners ... Please report
'95 Black Gen I found a few miles from my home in SoCal posted on Craigslist. Pics looked poor on Craigslist and I lurked for a few months, it never sold so called the owner 3x and finally he called me back weeks later. View the car, rotted nearly flat tires, oil all over garage floor, boxes...- Titan1969

Gen I - Power Adder or N/A
For those that have added a SC ( roots or centrifugal ) how has the experience been on a Gen I? I want to add a few ponies to the Viper, totally stock now to get up to approx 500 crank HP, stock is about 425 I believe. Ripping the motor apart that is in good working condition, seems not the...- Titan1969

Gen I radiator fan - replacement options
Final test... Drove around for a few hours, 80 degree outside temps, a lot of traffic and running the A/C. All went well, the SPAL could drop the temps no matter the conditions, to a point where it would cycle on and off. It never needed to run continuously. I'll post up if any issues occur...- Titan1969

Gen I radiator fan - replacement options
Test #3 Ok out for a longer ride today, still pretty cool outside at 67 degrees. Fan controls heat very well and it is loud, but I have no muffs so the fan is not to noticeable. I needed to bump up the trigger temp on the ROE, as the fan kept cooling the temps down the 1st mark on the center...- Titan1969

Gen I radiator fan - replacement options
Yes the high temp trigger will shut off the low temp/low speed line is my understanding of the OEM circuitry., The ROE is a totally separate circuit from the Viper controller and because the ROE is reading a trigger temp set by me( 200 - 210 approx ) it will continue to energize the fan until...- Titan1969

Test #2 I drove the car in 70 degree outside temps for about 10 miles. I have the ROE fan control set to energize the low speed line at slightly above the 3 tick mark in the center of the gauge. The fan is cooling very well so far, cycling on and off in traffic 2-3 minutes on then about 2-3...- Titan1969

Wiring.... I have the ROE Racing Fan Control Kit, this is already wired to the Dark Green low speed side of the OEM harness, however the SPAL fan is a SINGLE SPEED ONLY, not dual like OEM. Knowing this I eliminated the OEM high speed fan connection ( capped of the harness ) and will use only...- Titan1969

Gen I radiator fan - replacement options
Since the shroud plastic is very brittle and shatters easily, I needed to find a method to mount the fan but not create excessive stress at the mounting locations of the SPAL fan. I purchased qty:4 of 2 1/2" by 1/4 - 20 course thread bolts. I triple checked the position of the SPAL fan so its...- Titan1969

I needed to drill out the OEM motor 3 rivets then cut out the OEM motor frame to make room for the SPAL fan. Here the SPAL fan sits nearly perfect in the OEM shroud opening...guess I got lucky.- Titan1969

I did a lot of research of fan options, CFM, voltages, amps, relay issues, heat issues and finally decided to go with the SPAL 30102049 16" Curved Blade Puller. Why? Im attempting to leave the stock shroud, alternator, relays, wiring in tact. This SPAL fan maxes out at 19amp and pulls 2000CFM...- Titan1969

The below is my current cooling fan setup with the fan blade removed. The fan blade had become so out of balance it was cutting into the frame of the shroud. I made one attempt to re-pin the shaft and straighten the blade, however after 23 years it was not salvageable. So Im attempting to...- Titan1969

I had a posted previously that I had repaired my 1995 Gen I original "offset single style cooling fan". Unfortunately it was short lived and sheered the motor pin off again, Im thinking due to the fan blade being warped. Instead of trying to repair it again, or put a new blade on, Im going to...- Titan1969
