UAW strikes Chrysler
I've been going to SMART training this week in the plant (Team Concept) and one of the issues we've been discussing is the J.D.Power ratings. The numbers on the quality difference between Toyota and Chrysler is closer than most anyone would expect. Toyota has .7 issues per vehicle, Chrysler...- Rich Detert

UAW strikes Chrysler
Would the current UAW pay rate of $28 per hour plus healthcare benefits be considered grossly overpaid as you put it? That's a personal matter of opinion. Is it fair compensation for a repetitious job that's proven to wear your body out, IMO yes (but once again an opinion). Once again it all...- Rich Detert

UAW strikes Chrysler
Are there flaws with the union? Yes of course there are, but there are also flaws with management too. I personally see the unions as just a 2nd form of management. The thing that the media doesn't tell you is that the union officials still get paid their normal salary while the workers are on...- Rich Detert

UAW strikes Chrysler
It's really sad that most of you people don't even have a clue what the strike is about. I get so sick of hearing about the quality of the people that work in an auto assembly plant from people who don't work there. There are deadbeats, drunks and drug abusers in every profession. Our current...- Rich Detert

Small stripes next to the big stripes. Where to find ?
The state was kind enough to build a test track near my house. ;) They're building a limited access highway near me a in 5-10 mile sections. That's where it ends for now (been that way for a few years). As funds are available they extend how far south it goes. As you can imagine, it's...- Rich Detert

Dodges Super Bee Ram
1971 was the last year Dodge produced the Super Bee and they used the Charger body for them. Prior to that they used the Coronet body. The Rumble Bee's are available in Solar Yellow or Black. We're building the trucks here in St. Louis and all the custom work is being outsourced to a vendor...- Rich Detert

Picture of my painted Roe S/C
The pictures don't really do it justice. The detail is amazing! It really looks Awesome in person. :headbang: :headbang: :headbang: I was down at King Dodge with one of my cars and got to check out Michaels GTS while it was a work in progress. They were waiting for the software from Sean...- Rich Detert

Anyone looking for a deal on a new 2004 SRT/10???
I was talking with Lou Espey the Service Manager at King Dodge (friend of mine and where I get all my warranty work done) and they have a Red 2004 SRT/10 they'd like to sell. He said they would really deal on it (rather than just tie up $$$ on their floor plan and just cost them interest...- Rich Detert

Missouri Viper owners: Need advice on Inspections
There are alot of horror stories about cars damaged at the Emissions testing stations around St.Louis. When I had my 94 Viper they didn't even run it on the rollers, they just did the test at idle. My 97 they did run on the rollers (no problems). The Gateway Clean Air program is a joke, on a...- Rich Detert

Anyone try the short shift drop kits?
The length of the stock Isolator is 4.75 inches. I make the replacement shifter shafts in 3 inch, 4 inch and 4.75 inch lengths. The 3 inch is 1.75 inches shorter than stock length which works great with a stock shifter knob. The MGW Shift knobs are another way to shorten the shift throw...- Rich Detert

TERRIBLE NEWS - PAUL MUMFORD - PLANE CRASH?
Our time here is always too short. It's terrible when you hear news of the death of someone you've come to know even if it's only by the things they've posted on a forum like this. Pauls death will leave a void in the Viper community. He touched enough lives directly and indirectly that he will...- Rich Detert

Hydraulic Line to Slave Cylinder Disconnect?
If anyone needs a replacement white nylon collar for the clutch slave cylinder connection, I've got some spares. When they eliminated the connector on the trucks I had a bag of them in my toolbox at work. Somehow they found their way into my toolbox at home. :rolleyes: (It was that or the...- Rich Detert
