    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    I've been using dexcool in mine for over 6 years. change it every 2 years. Its essentially Mopar orange, even says it works with newer Dodges on the bottle. Get some cometic aluminum core gaskets. No need for RTV.

    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    Now's a good time to try something. I have thought about purchasing a Gen 1 pump with metal impeller and pressing out the impeller and bearings to "rebuild" my Gen 2 pump. Anyone ever done this and been successful? I've got my old gen 2 pump, so I may give this a shot.

    Question about coolant change on my 1997 GTS with 16k miles

    So you could buy a IPSCO power steering pully, or do like I did and get this one: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=8439712&cc=1314713&pt=7381&jsn=615 the pulley is all metal and less than $20. Seemed like a good value to me. So I run Prestone Dexcool in mine and have for the last 6...

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I've used the Mobil 1 filter multiple times. Rock Auto has them for around $9 each I wouldn't be too concerned with any high quality filter, Wix, Bosch, K&N. Agree, avoid Fram for sure, I even avoid their "top tier" filters.

    01 GTS radiator hose question

    Alternative question, but could be relevant here. Opinion on screw type clamps vs constant tension clamps (spring) clamps? I bought new screw type when I replaced hoses, but ended up installing the tension clamps after a couple of weeks. I like the tension clamps better IMO.

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Mine always does this during stop and go, not in motion running. The Fans come on and it never goes above, but it goes to that spot and then comes down when I get moving. It has done it like this since I've owned it and I've replaced the entire cooling system as maint. I would consider it...

    Yet another overheat issue HELP

    Bottoming out sounds interesting. Did a fastener puncture the bumper reservoir? Could it draw air into the system once the tank is empty? I've heard of the bumper tank getting punctured by the front bumper by scrapes on the front bumper. Just a thought.

    Drivers door micro switches

    So the 3 prongs that you wire to are coved by a small cover, you have to pop the cover to see how its wired. The switches come as shown, and you need to bottom covers to cover up the soldered area. Hope that Helps.

    Drivers door micro switches

    So When I first got my car, I had a bad switch on the passenger side door. This is what I ordered and its been working for almost 5 years. Only difference is color is white instead of black. https://www.tme.com/us/en-us/details/v4lst7/microswitches-snap-action/saia-burgess/v4lst7ul/ I also...

    1997 Dodge Viper GTS For Sale in Massachusetts - Custom Purple Paint - Rebuilt Title - $56k

    IMO its a shame it was repainted. I would think B/W seems to be what is most desirable in Gen 2s, but I am biased a little. Car does look very nice and Good Luck man.
