    Where did my reverse go?

    Hi, I got my Viper back recently from it's engine mods and it runs real strong, no complaints there. But today, after using reverse to back out of the garage and commuting to the hospital parking lot, I tried to go into reverse multiple times without success. Hurst shifter, no problems in the...

    How wide is a 96 GTS

    Unless your pretty "nimble", you'll have to butter yourself up to get out of the GTS in an enclosed trailer. I gave up the idea of an enclosed trailer and got a Sloan's Kwik-Load open tilt-bed trailer.

    Hurst (Mopar) Short Shifter Install Problem

    I had the same problem but eventually the moons were aligned, I held my tongue just right, and the Hurst shifter slipped into place! I'm not sure what I did right or different to have it slip into place! I was just determined to not be defeated! I had lubed the linkage-cup, and during my...

    A/F in winter compared to summer

    Hi, I believe that the MAP will correct the A/F ratio BUT the charge to the cylinders will be greater due to the greater air-density of cooler air (sort of like a little increase in displacement). The ratio of O2 molecules (a constant in air)to fuel molecules will be correct...just more O2...

    Hi, ONE service manual.

    Okay...

    Hi, I think most of us "silver backs" have been there before! And as previously said, you will likely rebound at least into a comparable position or likely, a better one. I made my career change from an Assistant Professor/Scientist to med student at age 37! Yes, I almost had my ride repo'd...

    Group buy on 70mm Throttle Bodies

    Stu, I thought that larger intakes would produce LESS throttle response on a relatively stock setup? Bernoulli's Principle I believe. You would be moving the same volume of air through the stock intake/valves/piston-displacement/exhaust, only with less pressure gradient. If you upgrade...

    Installing a short shifter

    Hi, Not exactly sure of your dilemma...but I think you are referring to the single shifter flange bolt that is "hidden" under the console. Indeed, you will have to drill a hole in the console directly above the bolt-cap. Of course the hole has to be large enough to fit the socket! Measure...

    Window Tinting

    Hi, SooooooTrue about the Dallas snarl. Thank goodness I live in the "suburbs" of Lone Oak (pop. 541)! I think that the 20% is a pretty good choice giving good rear view vision but also giving you real good screening from casual eyes. But someone up to serious mischief might be able to...

    Window Tinting

    Yep... I "idle" down the 860-foot driveway!! I usually drive the Viper as my "economy car" (19mpg) three time per week and the H2 (10.5mpg) twice a week. I can take the driveway at speed in the Hummer! :) I believe the final tint was 35-sides, 20-rear.

    Window Tinting

    Hi, I had the rear window tinted and I am very pleased with the results. According to the professional doing the tinting (side glass and rear) the matt texture surrounding the clear glass causes the most headaches since the tint doesn't want to adhere to the matted surface. He fretted over...
