    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    I was walking the lubes aisle this evening and found 5-qt jugs for the first time in 2+ years! Just under $28 per jug and quite a bit less than quarts. 0W40 was priced the same.

    Gen 2 radiator isolator bushings

    These are NLA from Dodge, but they were also used to support the intercoolers on mid-90's RAM-Cummins engines. The n ipples have two different diameters, but the flanges are the same. Has anybody seen something like this out there in rubber, or urethane?

    30 years a Viper owner

    It was a very happy (and HOT) August 14, 1993 for me. My third child had been born a little over a week before, then my gleaming Black '93 RT/10 hit the streets of New Braunfels and San Antonio WITH air conditioning! Lord that car was beautiful - and fun to drive on the track. I traded it 3...

    Gen 2 Suspension Bushing interchange

    Since this subject has come up repeatedly over almost three decades, I thought I would provide some verified user data for all to benefit from. The only ones I have yet to verify are the rear upper wishbones. When replacing rubber bushings on a Viper, it is CRITICAL to follow the Service Manual...

    I just realized my Forum join date...

    ...was 11 years and 5 days ago. Not many around here can top that one. I only have a little under 4000 posts. Chuck (my hero) has me beaten soundly there.

Sick of being stuck in traffic congestion that never seems to get any better? Then read on... The incoming House Republican...

    Liberal enviro-extremists are coming for us.

    It's coming - EPA/DOT joint transportation agency policy bill telling us when we can drive, what kind of vehicles, how much we will be allowed to drive and how we will be punished financially for being gross GHG emitters.

    Aluminum wheel (mechanical) maintenance

    I have aluminum wheels that are over 10 years old that have been mounted/dismounted at least 20 times. I'm seeing corrosion/oxidation in the bead area and I think it's causing some air loss. I have 8 wheels waiting on an answer before they get reskinned. Any tips on corrosion removal and...

    \'96 GTS Oil leak solved!!! My tech spoke with someone at Arrow Racing about my incessant oil leakage problem. The symptoms and service history were recounted for consideration. Arrow's opinion was that the leak was likely NOT from the front of the engine, but from either the rear main seal...

    Trailering the SRT

    There have been lots of questions from people wondering whether the cars will fit on a trailer, or a 4 post lift. Answer? No problem. My trailer deck is 81.5" wide, and the fender tops are 9.5" above the deck. Plenty of clearance for the sills and the doors. An added bonus is that the fascia...

    Has anyone found any "extras" in their new car?

    Has anyone found any \"extras\" in their new car? I found some interesting stuff behind the passenger seat. Check yours! :cool:

    Anybody pulled the sport hoops off yet?

    I was skimming through the SRT service manual last evening. My impression is that it is not nearly as information-rich as previous editions. I noted that the mini-rollbars above the seats are easily removable. Access to the 2 bolts/hoop is through the same area where the 5-pt. shoulder harnesses...

    Aftermarket JTEC mods!!!

    I picked up a copy of Mopar Muscle off the magazine rack the other day. One article of great interest regarded the previous dilemma we Mopar types suffer relative to GM and Ford in the chip tuning department. It appears that Jet Performance and Hypertech are now in the business of supporting...

    The REAL question? How long to TOTAL the first SRT?

    My guess? 5 weeks. Next bet: What color will go down first? Red, Black, or Silver? What an ignominious distinction for the poor (fill in the blank) who gets the boobie prize. Should we take up a consolation collection in that event? Place your bets here NOW!

    He was just posting on dotcom about having secured a new supplier for Venom Aero body parts. He said he was to be stocking these parts soon. Keep pushing and you might get what you paid for.

    Removed rain baffle...now check engine light is on?!?!?!?!

    Because you started the car with the IAT sensor unplugged, the computer substituted a stored value from one of the long term memory blocks and tripped a fault code. I think it will go away after a few key-on/key-off cycles. If not, then do a hard boot by means of a battery disconnect. Run your...
