    old userwith p/s problem need help on 2006

    I went through a power steering hose replacement phase, fixing it a couple of times on my Gen3. But the real problem turned out to be the relief valve in the pump being stuck.

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    My experience switching from the old Viper filter to the mobile 1 filter has to do with the anti drain back valve. With the Viper filter, it would take a couple seconds to build pressure after a cold start. With the mobile 1 it takes maybe half a second. The Viper is kind of a worst case for...

    Pedal spacing

    I was able to move the clutch pedal to the left 5/8" by grinding the back of the pedal and using a longer bolt. Dead pedal is gone also.

    Sidesill Paint/Heat resolution?

    Removing the cats was one of the best things I did with my Gen 3, much less heat. The old school test to see if a cat is functioning (on any car) is measure the temperature of the exhaust pipe going in and coming out of the cat with an IR thermometer. Typical good cat measurements are 200F in...

    If you want the best chance of getting a real Mopar filter, just go to the dealer.

    Pedal spacing

    I wear a 12EEEE and it's pretty bad. I've considered narrowing the pedals by cutting maybe 1/4" off the sides.

    Mystery misfire

    Popping from the exhaust does indicate raw fuel in the exhaust being ignited. I would lean toward the ignition coil or plug wire. If you still have cats, you should fix this soon as fuel on the cats will destroy them.

    Bleeding slave after Clutch/ Slave install

    There is an alternate method of bleeding. Press the clutch pedal completely down, then slowly open the bleeder valve. Close the valve, then release the pedal. This method causes the pressure plate itself, by pushing on the throw-out bearing/slave cylinder, to force the fluid out the bleeder.

    Coolant Flush Gen V

    You will need a total of 4 gallons, 2 anti-freeze, 2 distilled water. If a Gen5 is like a Gen3, when you remove the left side block drain, it will drain directly on your starter.

    Coolant Flush Gen V

    I’ve had to fill my coolant several times, for various reasons, in my GEN 3. Never really had a burping or air pocket problem, just drive for 40 or 50 miles and top off the reservoir. My method has been disconnect the upper radiator hose at the thermostat housing, pour 3 gallons of coolant...
