Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?
You should be able to feel sag when you open and close the door. There are issues with the door panel rubbing which makes it difficult to adjust the door accurately. To me it looks like sag. That area you don't normally brush when you get in and out.- Tom and Vipers

Pulling your car out of storage? Jump starting? READ THIS FIRST.
I've got the orange, cold weather CTEK on my 96 GTS. Also have a 1 amp NOCO usually on my 74 Datsun pickup. I like the CTEK because it is a LED for each stem of the charging process. The NOCO is a black box. I don't like black boxes...- Tom and Vipers

Need 1996 GTS AC Pressure Switch (on dryer) Connector
EDIT: SOLUTION: Gen 1 & 2 use the same part number switch 4708204. Gen 1 has a small sub-harness 4709101 that can be cannibalized for the connector. PROBLEM SOLVED. This might be unobtainium. Mitchell customer service failed to find. No leads on other vehicles connector has been used...- Tom and Vipers

Want to ID this brake duct part that was vendor made
...wonder if IPSCO might know what they are? I bot them from someone fabricating them for Viper and it had to be a Gen 2 since all I've owned. I believe I had plans for these BEFORE I realized Wayne had put Porsche brake cooling deflectors on the lower control arms. (could they have bolted...- Tom and Vipers

Best tire sizes for minimal wheel gap - Forgestar
I thought about Gen V on my Gen 2 GTS, but was concerned about raising CG of car - that's never a good idea regarding handling and turn in response? ....but should be better for drag racing? However, a little more ground clearance would always be welcome with the glass fascia which poses...- Tom and Vipers

Battery
If replacing the battery, you might want to seriously consider installing a battery cutoff switch since so many procedures start with: Disconnect Battery (thinking that is easy to do.) This is OT, but I have a GTS and had a Charger rent a car for 3 months. Imagine my bamboozlement: (The V...- Tom and Vipers

Negative battery cable disconnect
So many procedures say, "Disconnect battery." .... $#%&@#(*$ The last time I put a battery in mine was at an acquaintance's house in NV in the blazing sunlight with no shade. He was OCD about his tools and I had to ask every time I needed something (of course this was moot since I didn't...- Tom and Vipers

Oil Temps
I was driving in Death Valley @ 100*F on my cross country drive back to PA. My temp gauge was getting higher than I ever saw it and even though remember reading that it was capable of very high temps and not being a problem, I was not going to risk on a 2500 mile drive. So I was windows down...- Tom and Vipers

Oil Filter Recommendations
They talk about having a higher bypass pressure because of the high volume oil pump etc. OE oil is 10w30, any issue with the XXw40 oils which many have said is a superior oil to the 10w30? Theoretically it should produce a higher hot pressure than w30.- Tom and Vipers

Want to ID this brake duct part that was vendor made
I'm pretty sure has nothing to do with HMS nose - I could have sworn these were at the discharge end. (I have NO IDEA what ducted brake cooling looks like on a Gen 2.)- Tom and Vipers
