I will never use anything else. I screwed around with mine and the universal adapter on a pickup until I realized the real ticket is to ensure you get the dedicated cap. Non ABS Vipers use the Ford 3 prong cap. Motive has ABS caps too. Just call them.
Steps? Attach cap and Motive, pump up...
Got one, I honestly don't think I kept them after the job. I just took a digital camera and started from one side of the car and took a picture every few inches. I seriously took about 200. I took pictures throughout the removal many times. It made the install so much easier remembering what...
96GTS, Understand a few things about the reservoir and cap. Remove the cap. Notice the hole in the top of the nipple. Blow in it. You will see how it vents under the splash shield on the inside. The hole is for venting but unless you are tracking the car or driving like you are if the level...
Do a search on my posts. I posted a series of extensive details in posts when I replaced mine. I had NEVER done anything like this but Tator is he man and it is amazing how valuable a digital camera and PC become. I took 200 pictures before I took everything apart. I bagged and labeled...
Yes, do some searching. The only right way to do it is to strip them and find someone really, really good that will cut out the corrosion and weld up the issues. It takes someone good. The wrong way is to fill it in and repaint and have the same problem in a few years.
Don't reuse the...
Preventative maintenance.
Replace or check often your Gen1 head gaskets
Remove OEM cats before your sills burn up
Remove and cut down screw below coolant reservoir in front bumper.

Ensure you chase the housing bolts threads and apply a little atv silicone while re-installing. Definitly replace the thermostat and don't buy a cheap one. Call Tator and get everything at a 20% discount, free shipping, no tax.
Anyone have a Gen1 stock shifter they want to sell?
Anyone have a Gen2 cognac stock shifter too?
I want to stock up on parts that will wear out. The leather will wear out eventually.
Wonder if I should search for a steering wheel too?
On a Gen1, keep in mind that leaks even work their way through the bolts. Ensure you chase the threads and use ATV on the threads before installing. Also use ATV on the gaskets. Replace the thermostat while you are at it. Torque to specs. Call Tator if you have any concerns and get your...
