Handbrake during winter storage?
Todd, There is logic to what you say. Perhaps one of those rollover plates that has a ridge at either end (used to position a car in a tight garage) would be optimal.....- Ron

Handbrake during winter storage?
Though I use the handbrake all the time, including through winter storage, I do make sure the car is dry, i.e. I don't wash and then immediately store. Second I do not leave the shifter in gear all winter. The rubber boot underneath the leather boot hold a set and will push the shifter a bit...- Ron

Trans advise re reverse lock-out?
The reverse lock out in GENII's at least, is energized to allow reverse selection and de-energized to prevent, therefore when the car is off, reverse is locked out. With ignition on, and no movement, it's powered and allows reverse selection.- Ron

Just got back from the Party and as always it was a great event. Thanks to Debbie for organizing the best one yet! (and I would have said that even if I didn't clean up on the gift exchange)- Ron

What kinda gains do you get from headers, 3" cats, and Corsa catback?
Re: What kinda gains do you get from headers, 3 1996 / 97 cast exhaust manifolds flow the same as later stock tubular stainless manifolds. I dynoed 0.5 HP less with no other changes but the SS manifolds. Only benefit is the before mentioned weight savings. Your HP increase isn't less...- Ron

Redline in transmission?
Why is the factory recommended Castrol Syntorque (Mopar Synthetic Transmission Lube @ $20 / qt.) not good enough? Seems odd to me that so many are switching off factory fill when the risks of incompatibility are so great....- Ron

Group buy offered on Oil Pan Gate Kit!
Though the gasket is certainly designed to be reused, I have found damage to the area around the oil channel every time it's been removed, in fact enough damage that I was not comfortable reusing. Not uncomfortable about leaks, but concerned that since it was in the suction channel area it...- Ron

Rotor resurfacing...do I have to?
How much are stock replacement rotors? I just bought a complete Mopar brake kit for my '02 minivan from my local Chrysler dealer: Mopar pads, rotors and all hardware, all in one heavy box for about $130.00. Not even worth resurfacing for that price.... Maybe there's an equivelant Viper kit?- Ron

Tell me how to track my GTS and protect motor
The issue mainly occured in the early GENII's that had smaller oil pans. MY2000 and up had the full 10 qt. pan that effectively negates the issue. Further protection can be had by adding baffles to your existing pan. Stage II would be a oil accumulator and finally the ultimate solution, a dry...- Ron

Transmission fluid
If you have an air compressor, a Vacula fluid evacuator is a wonderful product. Easy drain of diff and power steering tank, plus does a great job bleeding clutch and brakes. Worth every penny. Mopar fluids are fine. I see no reason to risk incompatibility with syncros and posi clutches...- Ron

Radiator maintenance
If you've done proper coolant changes along the way and are experiencing no overheat / above normal temps, I'd stick with the traditional. If you notice that your temps are fluctuating abnormally (going higher or lower than normal giving conditions before dropping or increasing) your thermostat...- Ron

Fram Air Filter Part Number?
Absolutely. My opinion is based on oil analysis on every change and back to back dyno runs. OEM and FRAM had significantly less silicon than when I ran K&N's, in fact 60% less. That says to me (and the oil analyst) K&N's don't filter as well. Dynowise, K&N's pulled 11HP over OEM...- Ron
