    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...

    Mystery misfire

    So went to put in the new coils last night and naturally one doesn’t fit as it has a different keying on the connector, so kind of back where I started. I checked all the electrical connections I could and everything seemed consistent. All the injectors and coils had good resistance back to the...

    Creaking dashboard

    I went after my gen 3 in a similar fashion to what you are talking about. I've noticed some higher end cars will do a lining on the edges of parts to help mitigate issues at joints. I tried to identify as many points as I could on my car and I just cut some plain craft felt and used double...

    Gen 3 Traction Control

    Interesting. I was wondering how it would limit power if it wasn't tied into the PCM, but I see the injector piggyback setup in the pictures. Does it just grab a couple of cylinders to shut down or does it connect to all 10? I would think that could potentially throw some misfire codes, but...

    Mystery misfire

    I was thinking the same thing, but I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. Swapping injectors didn't seem to make any difference, though I guess I could still potentially have a driver in the PCM going out. You can hear it cutting in and out at idle every once in a while. I tried a...

    Mystery misfire

    Yeah, I had two different ones and they gave inconsistent results between them. Both are just inline neon tube type testers or whatever kind of bulb is in there. One showed a pretty consistent pattern and intensity, but the other one seemed like it would have some dim flashes on and off, so it...

    Mystery misfire

    Wires were replaced with ones from Qualitywires.com, looks like maybe 10 years ago (at least based on an old forum post). I pulled the intake over the weekend and checked resistance on them and nothing looked that different. New coils and plugs should be showing up today, so hopefully that...
