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

    We plan to leave for vacation soon for a few days and I was wondering how long anybody has left their OEM anti theft alarm armed and if it pulls enough juice left unattended to be concerned with for an extended period of time. I have a new Interstate Megatron battery. Baby ('98 RT/10) will be...

    RT/10 Pillar pods??

    Ditto. I ordered one a couple of weeks ago from Roe thinking I was getting the dual pillar pod for the RT/10 but Dave called me back and said they only had the pillar pods for the GTS. I had to settle for the steering column single gauge pod.

    Timing Cover Gasket

    I've got the same issue only worse. Never had an oil leak until after I put the SC on. Don't no if it was extra internal pressure that did it but I'm now getting a few drips on the garage floor. I took my pinned balancer off to replace the crankshaft seal thinking that was the culprit. I was...

    Instrument Panel Removal??

    Yeah. I found out.:rolleyes: The first time I tried, I couldn't get them to go on and automatically assumed I had to take the dash out. My friend with a C5 vette had to for his rings. Anyhow, it was good experience! :)

    Instrument Panel Removal??

    Thanks for the advice. I think the manual mentions a hole in the bottom of the knob where you can stick a sharp object to disengage a locking tab. I assume there are bottom screws for the instrument bezel that are exposed once you take out the knee bolsters?

    Instrument Panel Removal??

    Got some nifty billet gauge rings to put on but need to know how to take the dash apart to get to the gauge faces. Also, does the new rings just snap in place of the original black rings? The service manual says you gotta take the center bezel out first, then the two knee blockers. Does this...

    What's the "In-Thing" on Supercharger Gages??

    Just getting a consensus on turbo/supercharger gauges. I'm running a Roe SC but I'm not using any gauges....yet. I'm thinking of the boost gauge that Roe sells coupled with an Innovate wideband setup (LC-1 with their DB gauge). The LC-1 will be set up with the VEC3 for logging and tuning...

    19" Rubber

    Re: 19\" Rubber 19" Pirelli P zero's all around. 275/30/19 front and 355/25/19 on the rears. The only problem is the 355's are hard to find nowadays. :(

    Frozen/stuck wheel lug nut

    How are you guys replacing the lug studs? In the manual, it calls for a ball joint removal type tool to press the stud out of the hub. Is there an alternative way if you don't have one of those? Most of what I've read, you never want to pound it out in fear of screwing up the bearing.

    Any One Have This Issue?

    I have had this issue even before putting the SC on. On occasion, when I push the clutch in when rolling up to a stop, the engine rpm will drop nearly to zero, then oscillate back and forth between 0 and normal idle rpm (650). It will finally settle down at the normal 650rpm and everything is...

    So How Does The Drivability Change When You Put 19s On?

    19's all around here with Pirelli P0's. Switched from the stock 17's and Pilots. Much tighter in cornering with just a marginal difference in ride harshness. Of course going from the taller stock tires to the shorter low profile, I would have expected a bigger difference in the ride quality...

    Suggestions on Re-Installing a Pinned Balancer on a Crank??

    I thought I had a leaky front crankshaft oil seal so I pulled my pinned (Roe Crankshaft Pin kit) balancer off to replace the seal. Problem: realigning the installed pins in the balancer with the cut slots in the crankshaft when pressing the balancer back on. Has anyone ever removed their...

    New Battery Suggestions

    I just replaced my 6 year old Interstate Megatron battery with a new one. The car is a '98 and has 12,000 miles on it so needless to say it sits a lot. The old battery was still cranking fine when I pulled it out. Just didn't want to push my luck. As far as batteries puking, I'm not so much...

    Where to Get Used Parts??

    Thanks Cody! Yes, the springs were plated as well. I've known others on the forum that had their's done and said the plating was holding up after several months and opening and closing of the hood. I guess we'll see. ViperpartsLarry was who I was trying to remember. Thanks again Cody...

    Where to Get Used Parts??

    I sent off my hood hinges, brackets, latches, strikers and an assortment of nuts and bolts to get chrome plated and when I got them back, the strikers, bracket that the hood alarm switch mounts to, the secondary hood catch off of the driver's side latch and the assortment of bolts were missing...

    "Callaway 440" in a Viper??

    \"Callaway 440\" in a Viper?? I had a friend trying to describe a Viper he had seen here locally. He finally took me to see it. It was parked under a carport canopy at a local muffler shop. It was a black '95 RT/10. Paint looked like cr@p. One of the workers was keeping it for a brother or...

    Has Anybody had Their Hood Bracket Springs Chromed??

    Has Anybody had Their Hood Bracket Springs Chromed??

    I'm in the process getting some stuff chromed while baby is in hibernation but concerns were raised about the springs on the hood hinge and the hood hing supports. Do the springs have to come off the hinge and support before getting chromed or can they be chromed while still on the brackets...

    WIDEBAND O2 - Best sensor location? VEC

    If you are running catless and have O2 sims in place, can you just simply put the WB's in place of the rear O2 sensors since they're not being used?

    Four Post Lift Question....again

    10 foot ceiling in my home shop. With the car as high as it would go without going through the ceiling, I can almost stand up underneath (I'm only 5'8" :D ) I know the original post question was concerning 4 post lifts but, I went with the Complete Hydraulic two-post ($1,900, shipping...

    Crankshaft Seal Replacement

    It looks like I need to replace the front crankshaft seal. I've been trying to trace my oil leak ever since I installed the Roe SC and it appears to be coming from behind the balancer. I pinned the crank as recommended and I'm wondering if during the process I messed up the seal some how or if...

    Re: P355/25-19\'s? Great! Makes my 355 P0's more valuable! I think I'll sell 'em and make a nice little profit! Wait..............then I would be out looking for replacements. Never mind. :bonker:

    EBC's dusting like OEM

    Re: EBC\'s dusting like OEM Porterfield R4-S. Not for track use but my brake dust issue has gone down to very little if any. And, there is no brake squeal like the OEM's! A little pricey. Fronts were $170 for the set and the rears were $100.

    Battery question?

    I agree. I just swapped out the battery in my '98 RT yesterday. It had an Interstate Megatron battery that would be 5 years old this month. It was still going strong when I pulled it out but I decided not to push my luck. Never had to charge the battery since I've had it and neither did the...
