    SIDE SILL BUBBLE

    It's gonna be tough, but you can get them replaced. Try Chuck Tator, as he helped me. Eventually Dodge did the right thing. Ron

    VOI questions - How much track time etc? What about the guest?

Now since she wants to also do the track events does that mean I will end up doing less or does each paid person get to do the same amount? Wierd question maybe but if I have to, I would "borrow" my...

    92-96 cyl. sleeves 97-up no? See catalogs

    Hopefully I am not being a bonehead, but as I was looking at the 97 and up catalogs I found that the parts on the engine section do not show a cylinder sleeve whereas 96 and older do. Was this a change in the engine blocks??? Ron

    For those who are curious, the 2001 viper with the American flag and eagle went for 80K today at Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction. Also of interest the GTSR that went for 170k two years ago at BJAA went on the auction block but the high bid was 90k (turned out the guy had a reserve of a 100k) Ron

    So I am changing the xmission fluid in my 94. The shop manual says 4 quarts of Dex IIE (which is not made anymore so I use Dextron III). Out comes 3.5 quarts, in goes 3.5 quarts.

    Chuck Tator + Side Sills = PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

    I want to thank Chuck Tator (aka Viper Wizard) for solving my side sill problem. Not one person from DC, or my local Dodge dealer was willing / able to help me get either with a simple repair or replacement sills for my 94 Viper with side-sill corrosion. The local DM refused to even look at the...

    Is my hood closed properly? Help welcomed!

    To find out if it is closed properly, put the car in reverse and drive as fast as possible (130+ is best). If the hood disengages from the vehicle, stop, recover the hood and try again. Seriously, I have seen simular problems with my hood when I did not close it with enough force. Just make...

    My head-on crash in.... (pics)

    ...my rental car! Can't believe I walked away from this but I did. A 17 year old unlicensed driver driving his mom's car that she just bought from ugly duckling. He came fishtailing around a corner into my lane. I had no way to avoid it. If you are going to have a crash, then do it in a rental...

    Stupid Question Night - Name on kick panel

    Sorry for the stupid questions but I can't figure out why somebody's name would be written on my 94's driver side kick panel directly under the steering wheel. The only reason I found it was that I was cleaning the interior while using a trouble light to see. The name says Steve Model. I have...

    Head Gasket Weep - How do you know?

    In regards to the large amounts of posts about defective head gaskets etc. How do you know if there is a problem, what are the symptoms? Heck I am going to have to stop reading this forum before I drive myself crazy. Considering that I have no extended warranty I am getting a bit paranoid!

    Weird Oil Pressure Behavior!

    I am trying to figure out if I have a problem or not.. I have a 94 RT/10, 4k miles. Normally at idle I see about 20/30 psi and while driving, around 60psi. This is ballpark. In general lower pressure at idle, higher while driving as it should be. When I took it out this morning, I noticed...
