    Driving an RT in a Homecoming Parade?

    I have a friend wanting me to drive their daughter in a local small town high school homecoming parade. I've done it in a C5 vette with an auto but never in the Vip. May seem like a dumb question, but are there any issues with idling for long periods like that and creeping along? Besides the...

    Pulling the plug on my Roe Supercharger

    Sorry for the last post. I couldn't resist. I'm sure you'll receive lots of replies. I for one have had a Roe SC for about a year now and am happy to say 3,000 miles , later, I have no issues. Did the install myself and basically am just running off the cards that Shawn has sent. I think you'll...

    How Much Concrete?

    Two post lift mounted on 2 year cured 3000 psi 4 inch thick concrete with remesh only. I have left 5,000 plus pound vehicles up on the lift for weekends at a time with no cracking, base mounting bolt pulls, etc. I've been using this setup for three years now. Maybe I'm living on borrowed time...

    oil change miscue ?

    Ditto. Been changing oil on cars for 30 years. For the most part, I fill the filters before putting them on but there has been several instances in the past where I haven't. On some cars that because of the angle the oil filter sits, even a pint of oil in the filter will run partially out while...

    Changing Spark Plug Questions

    No anti-seize used here. Torqued using my calibrated wrists. I've had these plugs out three or four times now checking to see their conditions since I'm running a SC. No probs. I torque everything else but not on spark plugs. How do you get an accurate torque reading on the no. 2 and 9...

    355/25R19 Pirelli's or 345/30R19 Ps2's?

    I've got the 355/25/19 Pirellis on the back too. They break loose about the same as Michelins. That's all I had to compare to. Don't want to spin them too much 'cuz I don't think there is an available set anywhere in th U.S.

    Oil pan "seepage"?

    Yup. I changed my own timing chain cover gasket (thanks for the advice Chuck!). After I got everything back together and few miles down the road, I put 'er back on the lift to check for leaks and had a little accumulated on the back corner of the oil pan. I suspect I didn't put enough sealant...

    How do I go About Finidng the Previous Owner?

    How do I go About Finding the Previous Owner? I know its a little late now, having owned this car for a year and a half. But I've noticed on the Carfax I ran on my car that there was about a 2 1/2 year period where the car wasn't driven, or at least wasn't inspected, and I'm curious to why. I...

    Easy Way to Line Up Your Pinned Balancer

    For you out there that have to pull your pinned balancer for whatever reason and try to line it back up with the slots in the crank, I found an easy way to do it. You eyeball down the shaft hole of the balancer while it's off and make a mark on the very edge of the shaft hole with a magic marker...

    Crank Seal Change Out

    I just went through the timing chain cover gasket replacement routine. Just for practice when I got the TC cover off, and while leaving the old crank seal on, I tried to fit the cover back on. While trying to 'feel' and twist the cover to get the oil pump to engage on the flats of the crank, I...

    Quick Question About Timing Chain Cover Gasket

    I had the dreaded timing chain cover leak and I'm getting reay to replace it. It's all torn down and I have the new cover gasket along with a water pump and oil filter adapter gasket. Question on the timing chain cover gasket. The new one has a very thin bead of rubber on one side. Does it...

    What insurance company do you have?

    $55/month full coverage with Geico. Multi-car discount. Unlimited mileage. 100,000/300,000 with 500 deductible. '98 RT/10. 45 years old, married, no tickets, living in Missouri. That price even includes emergency road service. The only problem is this is not for stated value so I'm sure if I...

    Thanks to Chuck for the Advice!

    I assume its a Roe. Just take your time. The instructions that Sean includes with his SC is pretty straight forward. I can't think of anything outside of his instructions that needed better clarification. The only thing I saw that could be a little tricky is getting all of the injector 'O'...

    Thanks to Chuck for the Advice!

    Hey Dan! I thought surely if I can install a supercharger myself, I can yank the front end of the motor off as well! And, now I can start justifying to my wife the two-post lift in my shop!

    Thanks to Chuck for the Advice!

    Sweet GTS, May the Viper Gods be with you! As for me, I hoped for it to be anything but the cover gasket but have succumbed to the obvious after replacing the crankshaft seal and ruling out it being the camshaft position sensor 'o' ring. I'll be tearing in to it Sunday. One thing I can't stand...

    Thanks to Chuck for the Advice!

    I think you'll find it easier to change the seal from the top. That was the first thing I replaced before coming to the conclusion that the timing chain cover was leaking. Chuck confirmed what I found here on the forum that for some reason the '97 and '98 models were more susceptible to...

    Thanks to Chuck for the Advice!

    I know there has been lots of praise for individuals on this forum for their volunteered contribution of knowledge to us not-so viper tech savvy people. So just chalk this up as yet another praise for these people, in this case, Chuck Tator....again! My car suffers from the infamous timing chain...

    Anti Theft Alarm - How long Before it Drains the Battery??

    Well, as I'm sittiing here in Costa Rica at an internet cafe checking my e-mail, baby is sitting home (I hope) with the alarm set and no trickle charger. I think it will be fine with a new battery and all. When I had a C5, she would sit all winter with the alarm set with no probs. On the other...
