    Steering pump fluid spec - brands

    I'm a bit puzzled now, does it mean that the original Mopar P/S fluid is no longer available?

    AC Coolant sticker?

    That's unbelievable! I hope, the water damage is not too severe. At least, I think the customs office should pay for the "repair". I am curious to hear, what coolant you have used now? I usually stay with the OEM products but I learned that especially the 3 years coolant (green antifreeze) is...

    AC Coolant sticker?

    Hey Björn, could you pick up the car as planned? Curious to hear about your first impressions...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    You are right (and I should have known better). As you connected both the tweeter wire and the woofer wire in parallel to the crossover's input, the capacitor was short cut by the woofer wire, meaning having no influence anymore. However, the way it is connected now is clean and right.

    That's great news! Tell us how it went!

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    Got you. Now it is also clear to me, why you earlier mentioned that the amp has separate outputs for highs and lows. In fact, the tweeter wire origins from a splice point of the woofer cable in the door. You should not connect it to the crossover because of the capacitor in this cable as it may...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    I am a bit puzzled now when you say you ran both wires to the INPUT of the crossover. Do you mean now the wires of the stock harness? If so, I assume you ran new wires from the OUTPUT of the crossover to the speakers (woofer and tweeter)? If my assumption is right, then you can leave it as it is.

    Too funny!! As a matter of fact, I hold a diploma in electrical engineering, no kiddin' :)

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    So you are using the stock crossover, which is the most simple one: the woofer will run full-range and the tweeter is filtered by a 1st order high-pass (just a small capacitor). This will definitively ruin the sonic potential your new system has as it is not aligned to these speakers at all...

    Thanks!! In fact, I'd love to install your system if you pay for the trip :D

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    Hi, I need to correct you. The stock amp does not have separate outputs for highs and lows, outputs are full range. Not sure how you connected your system leaving out the crossover but that is likely to be the issue / reason for your bad sound. Hope you have not shot your tweeter yet.

    three problems for my rt10 2000

    Maybe someone moved the car with the hood being in half open position? This may lead to such kind of damage.... Maybe the hood needs to be adjusted (moved back towards the windshield just a bit) to avoid touching the tires..., however, make sure that you won't damage the door by doing so. In...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    I mounted it with just one screw as you can see from the picture (the one in the upper middle). In that area the door panel has s a thicker "lip". I very carefully selected one with the right length to not to "screw it up"...

    Direct replacement head unit for 02 RT/10?

    Are you referring to the DIN connector, too, or the power connector only? I am just wondering if the DIN connector was used in other Alpine head units as well??

    Emerald Green Vipers - Post your cars plz!

    Tranny fluid

    I checked for availability in Germany and found only one shop so far. Unfortunately, they sell it for 29,-€ per quart! So another "liquid Gold" ;-)

    Tranny fluid

    Do you mean it is the same? Or do you mean that it fulfills the specs of the Castrol Syntorq? BTW: Which exact AMSOIL product are you referring to?

    WTB: 2nd Generation RT/10 or GTS

    In my case, it was the opposite. I was looking for a GTS and ended up with the Roadster. I testdrove both. But to be honest, after I drove the RT/10 on a nice summer evening without the top for the first time, I was absolutely convinced that this is IT!. The open air feeling is something you...

    Power steering pump pulley failure...

    Here's what the IPSCO pulley looks like installed (did also the bracket). I did the swap just a few weeks ago as proactive maintenance and can only recommend this to everyone who has not done it yet.

    Old Mopar wires vs. Quality Wires

    I think, the aspect of low resistance of ignition cables is overrated (in terms of lower = better). a. the ignition cables do not have to transmit large currents, in fact, it is the voltage that has to be carried from the coil to the plug and which causes the spark. b. the resistance of the...

    Skip Shift Indicator

    Yeah, not so many of us around :smirk: As for the idle: I do think that 400 rpm is (too) low. The question is, how did you measure it? Mine is idling around 650-700 rpm. I measured it by reading the live data provided by PCM with my ODBII Reader. It is not really steady, it is constantly...

    Skip Shift Indicator

    You actually don't get a CEL after installing the eliminator. The skip shift indicator light will continue go come up, though.
