    What standard accessories came with the 1993 RT-10?

    There were only 2 options available for my '93 and I went for both: 1) color=Black and 2) Air Conditioning - dealer installed. I got the toupee, side curtains, and tonneau cover as standard equipment. The the first 2 gens, there were never any floor mats as standard equipment.

    Questionalbe antifreeze leak

    Very possibly that one lower fascia bolt punched a nice hole in the front corner of the coolant overflow bottle. Happens quite frequently on G1 & 2.

    Headlight Lens

    Buy some similar sized headlamp housings from a junk yard. Experiment with them in the oven before you attempt the Viper units.

    Purge Harness Needed But Mopar Mixed up the Number

    Where EXACTLY was the leak? Is the plastic line melted (mine is - partially), kinked, or broken? Has it just been pulled out of the rubber elbow at one end, or the other? They probably have several rolls of PCV hose of various diameters in bulk in the parts department. It isn't like every single...

    Purge Harness Needed But Mopar Mixed up the Number

    Bill, it looks like the assembly they sent was the one between the throttle bodies. Is the leaking hose under the headlight - and what year is your car? The hoses changed slightly for '98-'99. I recently had tank pressure buildup in my '96. I found that my purge valve was plugged with grains of...

    Headlight Lens

    Tom the F&LGOR was a pioneer on 40mm rear brakes and headlight rebuilding 2 decades ago. As I recall, the oven was used.

    Sketchy freeway driving

    Get each wheel off the ground. Grab each at 3 and 9, then shake side to side to feel for any play or clicking sound. If there is any, replace them.

    *** Lockout

    My regional prez helped me swap transmissions in my garage on Saturday. He's a gearhead too. We talked about the situation and National is desperately trying to leverage forum activity to 'enhance the Member experience' and offset costs. They are really working hard at making and keeping the...

    Sketchy freeway driving

    If the roads are rutted, I always drive a foot or so left, or right of them. Helps a lot.

    Sketchy freeway driving

    I would reccommend you buy and install some new inner tie rods. Same part number all around. Depending on what your ride heights are, you may need to bump-steer the car and bring those curves into spec. Unless you own, or have access to the caster inclinometers, I can almost GUARANTEE that your...

    Torque Spec Request, Power Steering Pump Discharge

    It needs to be tight enough that a second wrench on it is not needed when R&R'ing the actual pressure hose to the pump. That's a pretty large thread diameter in steel, so I'd expect something around 40-45 lb-ft. When I rebuilt my Gen 2 pump several months ago, I was prepared to clean the...

    That may be, but the line from the dryer to the compressor is definitely not one of those universal fit lines.

    Gen 2 Air Conditioning parts

    The hard lines are well supported and are rarely the source of failure unless there is crash damage. Assuming no damage of the condenser, the #1 cause is termination o-rings, #2 are the hoses themselves. You can source refrigerant hoses and new hardline adapters from Vintage Air in San Antonio...

    Reality check....

    My 96 GTS gets a little over 20mpg on long Interstate drives averaging around 75mph. I tend to run a bit more aggressive alignment than stock on the road so that creates a little more friction. In mixed/mostly town driving I'm between 9 and 12. At a big road course track with stock ECU and...
