    Flushing coolant out of the block....

    I replaced mine with some "regular" Allen sized plugs with Teflon tape for a leak free instalation. I was going to use some aluminum plugs (to save some weight!!), but i was told that it was a bad idea since the engine is also aluminum. Luc.00GTS

    What is the easiest way to access the fuel tank in the back?

    My understanding is that the access panel is only for the R/T. On the GTS you need to CUT a opening to get to it . Luc.00GTS

    Ram SRT10 will remain undisputed KING of trucks

    to each his own but for me a truck is a vehicle designed for towing or moving heavy stuff,so "king of truck" should be based on towing or payload rating,not 0-60 or 1/4 mile where the vehicle weight is such an important part that a bunch a cheaper priced vehicles (cars) will easily beat both a...

    very strange on 2001

    Randy, The A/C clutch do get "de-energized" at WOT but that is not the problem, the real problem is indeed vaccum related. Luc 00GTS PS: the a/c clutch is always cycling off and on to respond to line pressure and/or temperature but it will take a few minutes after the clutch is off, for the...

    Brake issue, question for Janni Cone or 2 Viper Chuck!

    Not very surprising when you look at the rotors, the holes are not even chamfered. The only "good" cross drilled rotors are the one that are cast with the holes in it and made of steel (not iron). You're talking mostly Porsche,Ferrari,etc,NOT the one that are drilled. As racers, we all know to...

    Brake Cooling - Overheated rotors?

    You have brake material on your rotors. What you think is warped rotors may be your previous braking material that is scorched on the rotors, thus giving you the shuddering under braking. This can happen when you switch brands of brake pads. PFCbrakes do not react well to other brake material...

    very strange on 2001

    Nothing to do with the power to the A/C, it's simply vaccum related. Step hard on the gas, intake vaccum go down and vaccum operated flaps close. Do a search, there are a couple of cheap and easy ways to solve this problem. Luc 00GTS

    2000 GTS GOOD PRICE?

    I'm the original owner of a 00GTS, black/silver stripes,12K miles and have no plan to ever sell it, but price is really related to the car condition,and for that you have to carefully look at the car,you can't do that with ebay,pictures only tell 10% of the story. Luc.

    Radiator cap part numbers

    Tom, For once,I disagree with you, those 2 radiator caps,not only do not work the same way but they serve different pupose. The closed type (what you call the spring center) is used in constant pressure cooling sytem. Meaning that since the valve is closed (up to it's pressure rating) by a...

    Damn Door Won't Stay Open!!!!

    Re: Damn Door Won\'t Stay Open!!!! Just where the rivet is, the hinge look like ---__--- and consequently there is some clearance/space,may be 1/8", between the hinge and metal panel. To avoid damaging the panel with the drill bit when drilling the rivet, I just slided a thin piece of aluminum...

    Damn Door Won't Stay Open!!!!

    Re: Damn Door Won\'t Stay Open!!!! The detent for the hinge is made of 2 rectangular pieces of spring metal and is riveted to the hinge. Since I'm cheap and that to re-align the door correctly is not an easy job, what i did was to buy a new hinge,drill out the rivet for both the old and new...

    Nitrogen at Costco for your tires

    On a race track, the air pressure will increase anywhere between 6 to 8 psi between a cold tire and after a few laps when the tire is at optimum temperature. With nitrogen the increase is usually between 1 to 2 psi so obviously nitrogen work and it's why we use it on race cars. You have...
