    Tires at Costco

    I also inquired about tires at my local Costco, just to see what they would say. I was not going to buy them there. I have had two not-so-good experiences with them (tire shop only....I LOVE the other part of Costco!). The prices were quite a bit higher than TireRack even if you included the...

    Voltage between coolant and ground... bad?

    Ron Davis made a custom aluminum radiator for my early mustang recently. It came with an aluminum drain plug. I asked him about using a brass petcock instead of the aluminum plug to facilitate draining the thing when it came time to do so. He said don't do it. Also, he recommended NOT grounding...

    Why high end car dealers are so stupid ?

    I don't think my father was "disrespectful" when he drove into the Lincoln dealership and seemed interested in a car they had. I think it's disrespectful for the salesperson to tell him to go rent one if he wanted to get a driving impression. I'd love to tell you the story about his last dying...

    Why high end car dealers are so stupid ?

    Ditto what Joe said. I have had so many unbelievable experiences with car dealers it's hard to even go into one now. Here are just a few. My father, a military General officer and able to buy any car he wanted with cash, and usually did, walked into a local Lincoln dealership with me and told...

    Lazy rear glass rods

    You can buy these at Auto Zone or other auto parts stores for less than MOPAR. I don't believe you can "recharge" them. Pete the ex glass guy

    Belanger Header Sound Impact

    On my '98, with Corsa cat back and stock cats, the addition of Belanger headers made almost no change in sound whatsoever. Perhaps your blower was aching for headers.

    Anybody in Az. thinking about installing a Roe blower?

    I was wondering if anybody in the greater Phx. area was considering installing a Roe supercharger themselves. I will volunteer my time and labor to help with the install. That hood can get heavy by yourself, you know! (I know...I know...you don't HAVE to take it off!). Just interested to see how...

    Valvetrain Noise?

    Chris>>>in past posts, I remember several owners mistaking the sound of the injectors for valve train noise. Tick>tick>tick....apparently the injectors can make a ticking noise that some people hear clearly and others don't. Hope this helps. I wouldn't panic. Pete the ex glass guy...

    RT/10 rear window really is glass.

    Pete the ex-glass guy here with some necessary clarification....if I may. IF a piece of auto glass breaks into "a million pieces", it means it is tempered. IF it stays together and cracks, no matter how many cracks throughout, it is "safety glass", or what is better known as laminated. ALL...

    Window water spots..

    Pete the ex glass guy here with my two cents on this. Right about the steel wool trick. Use a #00 or #000 FINE steel wool, the finest you can get. Never wet it. Lightly go over the spots and they will come off. Just takes a bit of patience. Now, for road film and greasy smears, you know the...

    Jet-Hot Coating.....Anyone experienced???

    I have had many parts coated by Jet Hot here in Arizona. I've been very happy with them and their service. I would recommend the shiny silver coating inside and out for exhaust parts. Never had a problem with them. There are other choices out there. Pete the ex glass guy

    cover on fog lights

    Yes, Steven.....look closely and you will see three little "tabs" holding the lens into the fascia. Take a plastic trim stick or if you are careful, you can use a tiny screwdriver, and disengage these retainer tabs and the lens will come out. To install it back, insert the lower tab into the...

    Help me out...w/ Engine Temperatures

    Personally, if it were my car, I would have the things that Larry mentioned checked out by a competent Viper tech. Emphasis on the word competent. I think you can do a little better than having the needle on the red with the way you describe things. It might be something fairly simple. Burping...

    Any suggestions on how to lower the temp from redline in the hot climate?

    Re: Any suggestions on how to lower the temp from redline in the hot climat Patrick>>my 98 runs fine here in Phoenix even on a super hot day. Good advice as far as eliminating all the air from the cooling system goes. That would be my first move. I'm not sure if there was an issue with...

    GTS Rear Window coming loose

    This sounds like one for......yes......you guessed it.....Pete the ex glass guy! OK>here's the deal. You need to use some two-part epoxy made for glass to other materials. Loctite has a good one. Get the backglass where you can work on it. I'd take it off and do it on a flat surface if I...

    Re: In GTS, is it normal to have wind noise coming from the window at 60 mp Pete the ex glass guy here again. Can you believe this? Third post in a week. Wow. Anyway, no, the wind noise isn't "normal", but wind noises are usually fixed by moving the door glass slightly either forward or...

    How to properly re-glue your rear view mirror......

    Gee, you guys want ALL my secrets, don't you. If I give you this one, do you promise not to blame me if you screw it up? Yeah? OK. You twisted my arm. Yes, there is a way to "move the bracket", but it's gonna scare you when I tell you how. First, get the Kleenex out since the boredom factor in...

    Help! My windshield is cracking (new 2001 GTS)

    Here's the deal on "distortion" in new windshields: Occasionally, when new windshields are delivered to glass shops and dealerships, they have a factory defect, which occurs during manufacturing. They just get by quality control because of the huge number of windshields made. They don't have a...
