    passenger side window quit working

    More often than not, door electronics issues are traced to this area. Copper wire work hardens with repeated flexing and the conductors break. I move the splices outside the umbilical tube to reduce repeats. Now my window, door lock indicator and LF door speaker work again!

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    You are correct on diameter - the Moog EV 252 is M15 male x M14 female. 1.5 thread pitch.

    I will confirm this weekend, but that's from previous notes.

    96 dipstick indicator

    This is a good find Tom. Your tube is for a '92-'96.0 with the Gen 1 wet sleeve engine. The belled cap is correct for your G1 tube. It was designed to seat into the pan itself, (picture below) instead of the lower block flange area of all Gen 2s. All the tubes are the same diameter at the...

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    I was searching around the internet for inner tie rods yesterday evening. I found a MOOG master interchange lookup table by dimensions! There are several models within about 0.5" length variation. Only 1 is listed as available - the EV-324. Edit: EV-324 has the wrong inboard thread. Won't work...

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    Sidepiped RT's will get stupid loud very quickly if you gut them too aggressively. HF cats are fine, but I would definitely recommend some quality mufflers. I rode as a Viper Days instructor with a guy in a 95 RT/10 with gutted sidepipes way back in the day. The volume and resonance was so bad I...

    Gen 2 Miller Tool Inclinometer brackets, $160 shipped.

    Do we assume these are for Gen 2, or 5?

    Heat shield wrap

    That manifold only runs up to around 235F. How hot do you recon those exhaust headpipes get? Don't bother with it.

    Leak question

    One other possibility is trans input shaft seal.

    Leak question

    ^^ True. ^^ Since the engine tilts slightly to the rear, a valve cover leak will usually drip from the lower rear corner.

    Gen 1 Audio Upgrade Thread.

    Very thorough and well illustrated. What was the piece of paper inside the door - assembly instructions from the production line?

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    Nice and tidy! Just an observation, but someone stole your Green Doohickey.

    97 GTS Steering PLay

    Clearly, that is the outer tie rod end with the problem. Probably has the wrong thread diameter, or pitch for the tie rods. It's possible that both male and female threads are toast now.

    Smog Time again

    I'm thinking you might have an intake gasket leak, throttle cables out of synch, or IAC pintle may be sticky. How old are your plug wires?

    Need Power Steering and Brake Fluid recommendations

    Valvoline power steering fluid meets the Chrysler spec. White bottle, blue label. They also offer a full synthetic option in a black bottle with silver labeling. It is a golden colored oil like OE, not a red ATF+4. If you never track your Viper, then any quality DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid will...

    Or, he could try FB and get about 67 random comments over 2 days - only 4 of which are worth the time to consider. Those would tell you the same thing as you found here.

    Power Steering Cap Gasket?

    That should work fine. With normal driving, you should never have any issues.

    Power Steering Cap Gasket?

    I've never even looked. It may just be a molded labyrinth step that fits closely inside the reservoir neck.

    cheap wheels/tire options for storage?

    Casing rubber formulation is different than tread rubber. If Conti is so specific about potential cold temperature problems on a hot weather extreme performance tire, I'd take them at their word. I think the Kumho Gen 5 ACR tires carry similar warnings.

    cheap wheels/tire options for storage?

    How long have the tires been on the car? Is the car new to you? Can you wait to move it until the temperature moderates enough to move it per the Continental recommendations? I would assume you do get some periods between cold fronts that would allow safe movement. Since you are acutely worried...

    cheap wheels/tire options for storage?

    Agreed. You can also roll the car up on carpet squares, or plywood.
