    Gen 4 Heads on Gen 3

    Short version: G4+ castings are as good out of the box as ported G3... but they do it better. All things being equal, you will require less cam and/or have better driveability at the same power in a G4 based car than a G3 based. The combination of head design changes, manifold changes and...

    This would be the time to update all the gaskets. Give me a shout and I can get a package on the way for you.

    Slow cooling fan

    Good deal. Be sure to flush that system 58 times with ATF+4 to make sure its clean as can be, given it was apart for so long as has who-knows-what in it.

    Gen 4 Heads on Gen 3

    There has been numerous G5 manifold failures on TT builds. In high-boost cars they revert back to G4 manifolds... I think you may have been implying the same. Total cost-cutting measure.

    Gen 4 Heads on Gen 3

    The short version, is a lot of machine work on the heads, modified manifold and mechanical throttle conversion. Generally I wont go into exact details, because information has more value than the components... and a LOT of people, vendors included, arent even aware of the specifics and are...

    Running rough after a jump start

    Well, You're certainly right about that :) The fact that I sell and reman these modules, and yet tell people not to jump start... and then they dont listen.......... Does that make me a massochist, or them...? [well aware thats spelled wrong because this site blocks everything]

    Slow cooling fan

    There is also the chance that your pump has something wrong on the inlet side, and is unable to draw fluid from the reservoir. I have seen people assemble systems with dust caps still installed, and seeing as you dont know the history... who knows. If thats the case, you 100% need to replace...

    Gen III power steering

    If you start at "theres a 95% chance the dealer is full of shit" and go from there, you will probably be better off, ha. Also, they are NOT the people you want fixing anything like that either... they will create new problems. While its not impossible, rack failures are very, very rare. I...

    Gen 2 PCM issues

    PCM is dead. You would need to send it to us to see if we can recover it. Its 50/50 depending on when it lost connection. There is absolutely nothing you can do on your end, dont waste your time. We can also proper marry your SCT, which may be partially bricked mid-load as well. We do also...

    Gen 1 (94) Viper starting issues

    For what its worth, be very careful. When a PCM starts to become more sensitive than it should be with regard to battery voltage, its usually indicative of a pending failure. Normally this isn't a big deal... but seeing as G1 controller tend to fail catastrophically, it is a very big deal. I...

    Slow cooling fan

    The relief valve that would be the problem would be the one in the pump, not the fan more than likely. The relief valve in the fan is a bias valve to give priority to the rack when needed, and seeing as neither work properly... I am leaning pump. That said, you need to see if you are flowing...

    Bad computer/electrical issue

    If you mail your control modules here, I can tell you exactly what is going on and give you your options without any ambiguity about what is wrong or the quality of what you will receive back. $4500 would be stretch even if you needed literally everything conceivable.

    Slow cooling fan

    Its definitely tough to screw up, and yes, that routing is proper. That said, without having seen any of it, there is no guarantee its even all original... which could introduce who-knows-what problems if so.

    Slow cooling fan

    Look inside the reservoir with the engine idling. Can you see PS fluid moving/frothing? There is a good amount of flow in steady-state idle, regardless of downstream pass-through conditions. If you see nothing moving, you arent moving any fluid anywhere in the first place. That also begs the...

    Slow cooling fan

    Learn how to properly service it, use the proper fluids, and don't run into things... and you have a slim chance of that happening. But if you're hell-bent on Electric, just mix some ATF+4 and PS fluid together. That speeds up the failure nicely :smirk:

    Broken fan - What Now

    Blades ONLY. Shrouds of course differ, and motor configurations and valving also appear to differ between versions.

    Broken fan - What Now

    What you aren't factoring in, is that the same blade is used on all versions of the hydraulic fan, whether in a Viper or not. The other versions, are generally much cheaper, and all over the place. I wouldn't doubt if you could find one in your local wrecking yards.

    Slow cooling fan

    Really? Did you even read the part about not having power steering and the car being bought with nothing from the steering system or fan system and it having to be pieced together, with every part of the system being questionable as a result? Or did you just skip to the "hydraulic bad!"...

    Broken fan - What Now

    You mean Downgrade. Ask all those Ram SRT-10 guys how those electric conversions worked out for them. :rolleyes:

    Slow cooling fan

    Does your fan "idle" when the engine is running? Hydraulic fans are always idling at a slow speed. If not, I suspect you have a pump issue as you are building no pressure to idle the fan or actuate the rack.

    Broken fan - What Now

    You need to buy another unit, and steal the blade assembly from it. There are usually motor or shroud damaged systems floating around Ebay or Salvage with good blades.

    Broken fan - What Now

    The blades are replaceable.

    Broken fan - What Now

    Hydraulic fan motors are literally contained in every piece of heavy equipment out there, and any heavy-duty application out there where direct drive is either undesired or impossible. And yes, the design of a motor is very similar to a pump, in the same way that an electric motor and...

    Gen 3 vs Gen 4 Differential

    Before I throttled back, someone was working on getting the 5/6 for the T56. No clue if it ever happened or not. It should be possible, but nobody was selling them back then. The TR6060 gearsets I keep in stock.

    Engine Computer Programmed Plug&Play 2003-06 Dodge Viper SRT-10

    This guy has already been through at least two shops, including us. I already told him exactly what he needs... and haven't heard back.
