A/C Clutch Wiring Issue - Guru with Wiring Diagrams Needed
Okay, this is a boring post for sure, but I need a hand troubleshooting my 1998 RT/10's air conditioner compressor clutch. If anyone out there has the wiring diagrams and is bored enough to help, I'm in your debt. <font color="brown"> PROBLEM: </font> Intermittent A/C clutch engagement even...- Dave Adkins

HELP! Passenger side sill hot as hell!!
I'd guess that one (or more) of the spark plug wires on the passenger side of the engine is bad (i.e. leaking a portion of it's current to ground prior to gettingto the spark plug electrode). This happenned to me last summer, new plug wires cured the problem.- Dave Adkins

How to do you remove a GenII radiator ?
Okay, so I'm replacing one of the air conditioning hoses (the one that connects the A/C compressor to the condensor), and it has become clear (even after taking out the air filter box, dropping the front stabilizer bar, removing wire harnesses, disconnecting power steering lines, removing the...- Dave Adkins

Has anyone done business with Mr. Viper “Eric Lee”
My personal experience buying a 1994 RT/10 - sight unseen - from Eric Lee was favorable. I'd recommend him. There were a few issues with my car after delivery (also with no warantee) but Eric bent over backward to appropriately address them. My two cents.- Dave Adkins

Is there a speed rating on the Viper RT/10 top ??
Re: Is there a speed rating on the Viper RT Roof ?? I have done Mach 0.24 without my soft top OFF, and I don't think I'd dare do it with the soft top ON. Above 100 mph, I can see a small sliver of daylight between the middle of the windshield frame and the soft top frame. At 140 mph (0.19...- Dave Adkins

Latham Dodge
I would definately recommend Latham. Eric Lee bent of backward more than once to provide me with excellent service regarding the '94 RT/10 I bought from him.- Dave Adkins

Headers Glowing Red After Run Around Town
A similar thing happened to my '98 RT. New plug wires did the trick. The catalytic converter likely isn't 'clogged', it's just trying to burn the raw fuel being pumped into one of (or more) the left-side cylinders that isn't being completeley (or at all) burned since the spark isn't all...- Dave Adkins

INSURANCE
Before totaling my '94 Viper Progressive was charging me about $790 a year. $500 deductible. Squeaky clean driving record. 3rd vehicle, used for "pleasure", no annual mileage limitations. After the at-fault crash, my next Viper is $1440 a year through Progressive. Still no speeding tickets...- Dave Adkins

NEED HELP WITH PLATE TICKETS
Most agree that it is a long shot, but I've talked to a couple a WA State troopers and they've all agreed that someone must be having a bad day to ticket you for this. One guy in Canada has used this form I cooked up successfully in court to get out of a ticket: Exemption Form for Viper I...- Dave Adkins

Road Trip Photos
I've been driving Vipers off and on since 1997, and it's amazing to me that the thrill just doesn't go away! Last weekend I got some down-time and drove a fantastic route through NW Washington State consisting mostly of Highway 101 looping counter-clockwise around the Olympic Mountain range. I...- Dave Adkins

Cold Air Viper intakes-Its a no win
Re: Cold Air Viper intakes-Its a no win Mr. Woodhouse, I appreciate you comments; however, I feel like no credit is due. Calculations are pretty straightforward, but what I'm really curious about is getting some real pressure measurements. I've never crunched the numbers and then gone on a...- Dave Adkins

Cold Air Viper intakes-Its a no win
Re: Cold Air Viper intakes-Its a no win <nerdmode = ON> I'd like to have a chat with the DC engineer who thinks intake runner length is responsible for lean combustion on the forward cylinders. I bet that's a misquote. The DC folks are a lot sharper than that. As far as someone making...- Dave Adkins

Vipermed airbox and ice =scary power
Anecdote from Kennedy Space Center, from many many years ago, regarding pure oxygen: So, a jeep was on its way to the launch pad to deliver a bottle of O2. The bottle had a leak, unnoticeable until the jeep's driver lit a cigarette. Or tried to. The biggest piece of the jeep they found was...- Dave Adkins

FYI on cutting hole in drivers side "speaker" vent.
Re: FYI on cutting hole in drivers side \"speaker\" vent. Another non-trivial benefit is the paperweight you get as a result of cutting the piece out. I've got mine at my desk at work. It always gets questions. People's reactions are generally rather amusing when I tell them, "oh, just for...- Dave Adkins

Hood Cut-Out?
I did this modification to my '94; I highly recommend it. I found the Roto-Zip tool to be *perfect* for this job. The standard rotozip bit that came with the tool cut through the hood material with great ease. I cut from underneath and the paint on the top around the perimeter of the new hole...- Dave Adkins

GTS Intake Question
<nerdmode = on> 'No drag' does not necessarily equate to no "ram" air. If the duct inlet were located in a better location, it could provide some ram benefit. For instance, the NACA scoop located out near the wingtip of a 747 (on the bottom side of the wing) which vents the wing fuel...- Dave Adkins

spark plug cross threaded
I cross-threaded the #4 plug on my '92 RT/10, and one of those thread chasers did *not* help out; I think it only made it worse as by then I was "chasing" the wrond thread. I ended up purchasing the correct tap, applied heavy lube oil to it, and little by little re-tapped the hole. I ended up...- Dave Adkins

Facia coolant bottle keeps filling up and overflowing
I'm almost positive that what you refer to as "the surrogate tank" (the one with the radiator cap) should not be topped off. My 1994 RT/10s "surrogate tank" was normally about 1/3 full when the car was cooled off. You have to leave room for normal expansion. See if your problem goes away...- Dave Adkins

94 RT/10 Engine stalls at Idle
The set screw is a gool 'old right handed thread screw. To open the throttle blades, you want to tighten the screw (i.e. clockwise). Getting *to* the *$^#& litte screw is a pain in the butt. Let's just say my needle-nose vise-grip pliers came in handy...- Dave Adkins

Eric Lee is Okay By Me!
Any salesman that will get his dealer to buy you a new set of 335/35 rear tires and an upper engine gasket kit is an EXCELLENT one in my book. Eric Lee certainly has my endorsement. He is a very busy guy, but he will always return your calls....- Dave Adkins

94 RT/10 Engine stalls at Idle
My 1994 had the EXACT same problem. Not always, but sometimes, at idle the engine would simply die. I checked all the same stuff as you, to no avail. Yes I tries synching the throttle cables, too. I finally determined that the default throttle angle was set just a frog's hair too much in the...- Dave Adkins

Introduction / long distance car purchase
I have bought all three of my Vipers long-distance. The first one was across the state, from a private individual. Nice guy, up front about what the cars imperfections were, and I had the option to hop on a plane and fly home if I didn't like what I saw. No headaches. The 4-hour drive home...- Dave Adkins

Greetings and Questions
Marc, The side windows really arent' that big of a deal as far as installing them/removing, or in terms of providing access to the car when it's sealed up and locked. Asthetically, they are a bit odd looking, but the rest of the car more than makes up for the weird look with the "side...- Dave Adkins

WHO GETS THE BEST MPG?
In January of this year I did a three-day road trip from Dallas,TX to Seattle,WA in my '98 RT/10. 2398 miles! Amazingly, the average fuel economy was about 24.5 miles per gallon! One tankful got me 25.2 miles per gallon, even. I almost exclusively used 6th gear.- Dave Adkins
