    Head Gasket Question

    I take on smaller jobs like that as time-fillers, but thats not currently my focus. Probably will continue that way I would imagine, as I have been leaning more to the design and manufacturing side than the mechanical for years.

    Head Gasket Question

    Liner movement or dropping is something that usually occurs *after* the head gaskets have been removed, while the engine is apart, and rotated when it should not be with no heads on [Gen-1 only]. There were also a few incorrectly manufactured liners back then, factory defects. Those are long...

    Those setups require a G4 pan as well, hence the difficulty between the pan & pickup. Also, not that its on the docket for this year... but I am growing tired of being reliant on Dodge and/or machine shops for various things. We have already gone down the rabbit hole on Laser cutting &...

    New BCM Repair Services

    Unfortunately, I have no more stock of the components for them aside from what I need for a few internal engines. They are a bit of a problem these days. *IF* I am able to get my hands on any more, that will change.

    Head Gasket Question

    You dodged a bullet. We have sold literally hundreds of sets to dealers... if they were afraid of a gasket job with a well known product, you did NOT want them doing it. I am positive Havik did a much better job.

    My first guess would be that it won't spy on you when it's done. My second guess would be that communist BCM's tend to try and take over other systems, forcing them to relinquish their rights for the "good of the vehicle". :)

    New BCM Repair Services

    As many of you know, we have been a PCM remanufacturer for going on two decades, and have been supplying the vast majority of vendors in the Viper and Ram SRT-10 markets with the highest quality replacement modules available. Unfortunately [for us!] the vast majority of our controllers are...

    Head Gasket Question

    Simply put, many reasons: 1. Non-MLS gaskets promote head and deck corrosion. The longer the are installed, the harder it is to fix. Eventually, it will require welding and/or head replacement, rather than a good cleaning. 2. The slow seepage often results in low coolant levels. If unnoticed...

    Head Gasket Question

    General consensus is to do the gaskets before they fail, and they *ALL* will. Finding someone local will be difficult. Better to drive or ship as far as needed to not get a botched job. When we brought these gaskets to market, they were designed as a permanent fix, especially when done as a...

    stand alone wiring system

    You can trace the vast majority of basketcase builds back to giving the car to someone who didnt know what they were doing well enough to avoid using known problematic components. People like me made those mistakes 20 years ago, thats why I wont sell or even be involved with that crap anymore...

    stand alone wiring system

    Exactly. And the worst part is, that AEM has so many bogus non-descriptive issues that people dont even blame them half the time. "I have this weird timing issue/bogging issue/stutter/cutout/insert your problem here", so I must have a bad tune, sensor, etc... NO, ITS THE FRIGGEN AEM DOING STUPID...

    Hard start when hot

    You dont see any codes. Downstream heaters are indirectly tested by function- short circuit will not be seen. Trust me... its your problem. 4.5 ohms is basically a dead short. Thats 20x specification. They dont short to the battery terminal, or even the frame. They short to the sill heat...

    Hard start when hot

    This is G3 correct? Downstream O2 sensor wires in the sill on an aftermarket exhaust, 99% of the time. Dead short on heater supply line.

    stand alone wiring system

    Why would you want those problems? AEM controllers are well-known to be some of the most problematic of the V10 based market offerings. We make crate engine controllers specifically for applications like these, based on OEM hardware, with OEM reliability, or extreme applications with Pectel...

    Also have ONE set of Gen-4 Stainless braided lines, standard version, 449.00, New. This is the last set of these that will be available, as I am no longer producing the Stainless braided version. Can also fit Gen-3 in a pinch.

    Volt gauge reading

    I am leaning towards a alternator diode on this one. Its being controlled, but it cannot supply. Also possible battery temp sensor issue... scan and see what it says.

    Edit: jesussssss. This thread is a decade friggen old What exactly do you need? While I am in no way looking to dive back into general maintenance other than filling down-time, if you get into a bind, I can probably help... and I say probably not because I cant, but because I may not have the...

    Engine Oil leak-SW Florida

    Depending on what it is, I can take on smaller jobs over here now. Not yet set up for larger ones. Exhaust pipe is likely valve cover gaskets.

    2004 Dodge Viper Gen 3 - lost oil

    Easy answer is clean it up, fill with oil, run it, and watch. Everything else is just guessing.

    Hard start when hot

    While I have seen it on Gen-2+, its not nearly as prevalent or obvious as with Gen-1 cars. What you describe is far more likely a fuel pressure regulator in the module bleeding off too rapidly and allowing boil-out, and taking time to refill the rails completely.
