    Video - Track Braking Incident

    Ummmm, being I have worked on the Conti-Teves ABS brake system that is the same model as the Viper (for Jeep)MK20e, I will suggest you dont know what the hell your talking about. There are 41 tooth tone wheels are the four corners of the vehicle that control wheel lock down to 3 MPH. That is...

    The question that most can't answer correctly

    Re: The question that most can\'t answer correctly Lets answer the question proposed, not all the special exceptions. The definition used in the past for the difference between Big Block/Small Block was bore size and spacing. At the time, since all performance engines in the Big 3 were 8...

    Should I buy a 1996 or 1997 B/W GTS?

    1997! The door mouldings are much nicer and fit. The battery drain problem (2 weeks its dead) is fixed on the 1997. The wheels on 97 are forged not cast, plus they are buffed better. Gear rattle problem is fixed (its only oil but still). The engine calibration is better (can reflash 96 but...

    Seatbelt question...

    Gen I cars did not have an airbag, so the Federal Government mandates that the seat belts when not equipped with an airbag are passive. That means they work without having the operator have to latch them. If you keep the belt latched, you can open the door, slide in and close the door with out...

    How much stress does a dyno put on a car ?

    Having your car Dyno'd is no big deal... most if not all shops wont let you drive your car, and frankly...I would want someone experienced do it anyways..I have seen some of you drive! Just make sure it is properly strapped down, the cooling fan is installed in front of your car (blow air thru...

    How Will DC/Viper Respond to The Z06?

    Its amazing to me to see people talk about things that they dont know anything about and of course its always negative. First off, think about why GM brought out the Z06 with all the special materials, powertrain, etc., one goal, regain the #1 spot as the fastest US sportscar, that they lost in...

    Water wetter, anyone tried it? Results?

    Dont use it or any other "enhancers". Just ask the guys at Arrow Racing that rebuild the Gen I, II, III engines. Standing a few feet back they can tell a block that has run the "wetters"...it corrodes the hell out of the block.

    b/w 96 vs 97 differences?

    1997 has an improved Body Computer that has reduced current draw, so battery will not go dead as it does on 1996 versions. as stated above all weather striping is better quality and more durable. Wheels are brighter (more polished) and stronger for durability. There are other suddle changes and...

I am sure you can purchase this part, but if you bought the car new..the...

    Problem with my new 02 rt/10 WHY???????

    Well, I doubt it came out of the plant like that, so makes you wonder where the car has been the last two years...yes you want that part on the car. The temperature should run around the 190 plus mark..it looks like its running hot...just should not be beyond the three center marks. If you hear...

    Splitter fit?????

    Gen I R/T from 1992-1997 had the same fascia, the opening is larger, and there is no large flat air dam underneath 2 inch versus 1/4 inch, nor does it curve to the sides by the front wheels. The Gen II fascia actually protrudes out further on the lower edge, easily seen when looking at the...

    have any of you ever wired in your own compressor?

    Its easy, just make sure when you connect to the main panel the power is off. Depending on the type of 220 breaker you use, this might just insert in, but doubtful. You have two (hot) wires coming into the main panel from the outside. Each is 110. One feeds the right side the other the left...

    SRT owners who traded their GTS...

    Here is the issue on keeping a car for many years. PARTS! While I like the GTS better than the current SRT-10, keeping a GTS much more than 10 years is going to be an issue. Chrysler will slowly run out of parts. The ones that concern me is the engine. Gaskets are $650 today... what will they...
