    Gen 2 battery disconnect?

    I have a 2002 RT10 that I’m putting into cold storage here in Canada. Normally I put a battery tender on the Viper every month during the winter but this year there is no power where the car is at and there is no way I can jack it up and pull the battery out. I know that pulling the one cable...

    Air Oil Separator Results?

    I have checked my line from the valve cover to the air box and there has been some oil caught in the little sponge filter. There is no sign that any of it was coming back down the smooth tube into the intake manifold. I don’t think a catch con on the Valve covers on the GEN 2 would help much if...

    Bleed off rate of lifters?

    I’m setting my lifters on my Stryker Package in my 2002 RT10 and I have no or low bleed lifters in there. What I have noticed is that some of the lifters have not bled down so it is easy to set the lash. Yet others have bled down so trying to determine exactly where zero lash is has become a...

    I’m looking to buy a good used Jeep Cherokee SRT8 and I’m wondering if there is anything that might be inherently weak with this model that I should pay extra attention to?

    On my 2002 RT10 on anything much over 80 mph the canvas on my soft top starts vibrating. Then by 90 to 100 mph I have to back off before the top vibrates right out of there. Eg (This is similar to holding a blade of grass between your thumbs and blowing on it). Any suggestions on how I can...

    Powder Coated Yellow 2002 RT 10

    The powder coating on the yellow is perfect match. The black stripes were done with a paint bomb. Sneaky Pete and the letters were spray bombed and then finished by hand. Next time I will do it by hand as the spray bomb was a waste of time with the masking on the small stuff.

    Help on masking and painting Sneaky Peter in Black on Yellow Valve Covers?

    I just powder coated the valve covers and intake manifold in Yellow to match my 2002 RT and looks great. I read the post on sanding and polishing and that will work great to roughen up the powder coat and prep it to paint. But what I’m wondering is, to try and mask the Viper logos on the valve...
