    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Yeah, Mercedes was big on the hydraulic fan thing as well. I don't know if any of their stuff would have crossed over, but it was of the same era when they owned Chrysler.

    old userwith p/s problem need help on 2006

    I went with a combo setup of new and old pieces fused together. I originally bought a set of JTSVP fittings/hoses for my setup, but I never liked the way they fit. The kit had lines for multiple hoses (pump to fan and fan to rack), but I only wanted to replace the pump to fan one as it was the...

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Depends on what you mean by "go bad". They are hydraulic motors with some valving in them. Generally speaking I wouldn't expect the motors to go bad unless something else in the system goes bad first (aka you shred a pump and put a bunch of metal into the system. What I also learned is that...

    The great blend door teardown (with pics)

    I'd probably check the ASD fuse and relay in the engine bay fuse box as well. That fuse runs pretty much all of the injectors and coils if I remember correctly and can make the car do some funny things when it blows. Otherwise it kind of sounds like a communication issue between the modules...

    Thoughts on removing buildup on gas cap? (Pic)

    You can do a clear powder coat as well, which might be a nice blend of both options. I believe the stock wheels were polished and clear coated with a pretty dang durable setup from what I could tell.

    tires

    What do you think of the 4S's? I've run the PSS on my 04 ever since I've had it, but now that those are discontinued I've been debating between the PS4S or trying out some Continentals.

    Belanger exhaust system. Help.

    That seems excessive to me, but I've only put headers on a gen 3, not a 4. I don't recall having to take much if any of the top/front half of the engine off, but if you were pull a factory manifold out of the top of the engine bay, those instructions might make more sense. Loading stuff in...

    Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?

    Hard to say, but at that kind of age it's probably a little bit of both. I know the seals on my 04 have split in several places, even with the doors being well aligned ever since I bought it. I've also put quite a few miles on mine though, so I may have more door cycles than most. You figure...

    Gen2 Hydraulic Clutch Line

    I know you can buy adapters to convert them to plain AN line. I run a T56 in my 67 Dart and use a Viper slave cylinder and I bought fittings to replace the quick connect. You've got to remember to remove it when dropping the trans, but I think master cylinder access is okay to unscrew it. I...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    It'll hopefully get there, but it's going to take time. You can't really compare a Lambo to a Viper as far as parts as they are two very different companies. Every car Lambo builds is low volume from the get go and their whole factory and business is based on that. Dodge builds millions of...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    For what it's worth, the Viper parts availability is hopefully coming around and getting better. As the cars get older they start wandering into "classic" territory, and there is an initiative out there to get people making parts for them that are approved by Mopar as official replacement...

    Low fuel pressure on start

    I believe there is a check valve built into the pump assembly (where the regulator is on a gen 3 at least).

    Mystery misfire

    If I do end up replacing them down the road I'll probably try NGK next, though I'm not sure if I remember them offering both packs or not. Maybe that was one reason I picked the Delphis originally. Seems like very few brands made both coils.

    Low fuel pressure on start

    My gen 3 has very similar issues, though sometimes even first thing in the morning it will crank for a while. Sometimes it will catch and run on basically one cylinder at a time until it gets enough rpm in it. Does it make any difference if you feather the throttle by any chance? I replaced...

    Mystery misfire

    Delphis where what I had bought as well. I was thinking they were going to be a different Delphi though, so I was a bit disappointed when they showed up. I'm guessing they are probably still fine and the only thing that really makes the Viper ones unique are the different cylinder numbers...
