    Broken fan - What Now

    Thermal efficiency is better when running warmer within reasonable limits. You just want to be able to 'keep a lid' on high demand heat rejection requirements so that you don't cook things under the hood.

    Broken fan - What Now

    Gotta respect a man who goes boldly against popular wisdom and triumphs. So far, so good. Let us know how it works this summer, and with track loads. Probably going to need some refinement, but you seem up to the task. You do plan to replumb some steering cooling, right?

    parking brake cable broke

    Did the crimped sleeve terminator come off, or did the cable fail in front of the sleeve? Crimping a new sleeve is a pretty easy repair.

    Wanted - Gen 1 OEM Side Pipes

    Moroso Spriral Flow mufflers do an outstanding job of minimizing loudness and still maintaining a deep rumble at idle and not-objectionable WOT levels. This is true even with HF cats.

    Plugs and wires

    If you buy from Scott you get them any way you want.Taylor makes these style clamps that I've seen used on the glass sleeve stuff and they look really nice. I think you can get them in 8 or 10mm sizes. Although I've never actually seen how the studs attach to the separators, I think for our...

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    If your end tanks are still good, just find a local radiator shop that can install a new 3-row core. I did that in January. If it's over about $750, keep shopping. I did a water pump with the FK impeller last summer. It's HAMMER TIME now!

    Plugs and wires

    They are really good wires. I got the 8.5's with fiberglass sleeves. With the early OE open top wire separators, they will fit if your are careful. If you have the closure types, then get the 8.5s without the glass sleeves.

    Side Skirt Screws Loose/Missing

    You should be able to source 1/4-20 galvanized bolts and washers pretty easily for corrosion resistance. The OE self-tappers are galvanized.

    Belanger header and motor mounts

    They were standard pieces from https://thermalcontrolproducts.com/collections/performance/products/stainless-steel-heat-shield-8-x-22. The ones I got were 11x22. I had to make adapters to mount them, cut plug wire and mounting holes and finish the holes neatly. They are fantastic performers, but...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Chrysler Corporation has used exactly the same grommet for every car in their line since 1967. The ONLY difference for the Gen 2 is that it has a double-male barb pushed in from the backside. The Dorman part is good to go. They also make a replacement for the hose from there to the PCV valve. It...

    parking brake cable broke

    The lever mechanism itself is from a early-90's LeBaron K-car. Is the single cable to the equalizer bar, the equalizer bar itself, or one of the rear caliper cables broken? Most areas with a lot of O&G, or heavy construction activity will have a shop who can build custom control cables, or...

    '99 GTS starts and stalls/dies

    I do not recommend touching TB screws - even as a last resort. Especially not if it was working fine beforehand. My car had a small backfire after R&R of plugs and fuel treatment. I cranked but would not fire. I held the throttle wide open, cranked and fired but ran roughly and wouldn't idle. I...

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    Collectively, these were classed as BUX (Export) cars by Chrysler/Dodge. In the parts book, you would need to look for the suffix BUX for seatbelts, exhaust systems, lighting, etc. Since they spent the money to move the shoulder belts and exhaust inboard, they were able to defray the...

    Gen 1 Emblem Color

    That's probably close to the Argent color. I think it was used on the Gray Pearlcoat cars.

    Turbo Oil Drain Locations?

    As long as you have oil pressure, you can discharge above the sump cover in the pan. The walls above the cover are the same height regardless of 8, or 10qt pan.

    Hard top quesrion

    I believe they kept the same pin location for all Gen 1s. The latch handles were nearly identical, only the pins and sockets changed. The pins are removable for a swap. A '93 top would probably work up thru sometime mid-late '94.

    Looking for RT/10 Steering Crossmember

    Ha! That's my car in the bottom photo! The arrowspoint to the cracks that generated the front frame recall. Contact OldSchool via PM, or Don Scharf Auto in Wisconsin for salvage parts. In your case, Dodge just *might* make parts available for you. You could need some Club help here.

    Why does my parking brake get loose?

    I think the only part of the system that provides resistance to the handle & cables are the torsion springs that engage the caliper piston manual actuator arms. If the arms don't swing back when the lever is lowered, there is cable slack on that side and the equalizer bar in the console is...

    Gen 1 Emblem Color

    Some number of early black 93s had red Sneaky Pete medallions. I think something like 50 to 75.

    My '93 had Argent badges on it.

    Plugs and wires

    Quality Wires are a solid choice. I tried them, but they didn't fit my custom heat shields - couldn't get my fingers on the boots.

    Why does my parking brake get loose?

    I've seen this issue mentioned more frequently around the web of late and I've suffered from it for a while myself. One of the prime symptoms is pulling the handle and having it go vertical with no resistance. You can then ratchet it a few times and it will sort-of work normally. Several years...

    Smog Time again

    It's a 50 rpm range band. At light loads, our cars can buck around roughly.
