    MAF sensor connector

    FYI - That terminal looks exactly like the fuel pump/sender connector on my car.

    Learn your car. All fascias get scraped.

    New to the Viper forums, looking to knock on this guys door and give him a offer for this 8 year yard ridden gen 2

    Lots of truth bombs being dropped here. I'm a hard-headed DIY'er, but I generally enjoy the the hunt, the takedown and the messy bits. It adds to the personal satisfaction of a job well done. OTOH, I also deeply appreciate those folks who make a business of keeping the community supplied with...

    Glove box dash gen1 fitment

    Pull the center button out and it will relax the expander fingers. Push back down after insertions.

    paper spacer on camshaft sensor on 93

    It's a little under the thickness of an average business card. Once you start the car, it works its way into the oil pan. It's too large to get sucked into the pump, and too soft to hurt anything.

    My philosophy - if you're going to own and drive a Viper, you ought to own 2 or 3 of the same Gen.

    At least is isn't the burned up and abandoned abomination that someone else around these parts decided needed the Phoenix treatment. There are lots of track-worthy cars out there at pretty modest entry costs. I suggest you cast your net a little further out.

    Paxton wheel hop

    Dragsters call it tire shake. There can be a number of contributing factors, but until you get it figured out, start lowering air pressures and trying NOT to keep wheel-hopping it. Something is going to break and it won't be pretty.

    Paxton wheel hop

    Try adding a little more rear toe-in. Also try dropping the rear pressures a couple of psi. What tires are you running, and how old are they?

    Door Hinge Wires

    There were also fewer wires in the Gen 1 harnesses.

    Rear toe change per turn?

    A couple of eyeball measurements with a carpenter's square: Rear Center hub to centerline of toe link: 5.75"/145mm. Thread pitch: 1.5mm. Front Hub CL to outer ball jt. 6"/150mm. Thread pitch also 1.5mm Radius of std 25.6" OD tire: 25.6/2=12.8" or 325mm. A little bit of simple trig will get you...

    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    This is exactly what I did, except I used the FlowKooler impeller. Better than new.

    99 RT/10 power steering reservoir cap

    Mine has never gotten loose over 29 years of road and track duty being firmly hand-tight. The hose *DID* char and catch fire at the track once from radiant heat at #1 exhaust manifold port. In '98, they modified the exhaust shield with a tab that blocked that exposure. I just made my own shields...

    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    ^^That's my point.^^ If you use a bunch of Red on the bolt, you'll probably have to use either a propane, or O-A torch and heat the crank snout for it to break loose. The bolt is in there several inches, so you will cook your front seal, possibly melt the front cover, and likely ruin the heat...
