    Turning gauge cluster plastics back to white

    Neat! I've seen the Retrobrite thing done a ton on old plastics. Never would have thought about it on the car, but makes enough sense.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Don't think that one will be making grocery runs as full as the trunk is, lol. Beautiful work!

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Yeah, Mercedes was big on the hydraulic fan thing as well. I don't know if any of their stuff would have crossed over, but it was of the same era when they owned Chrysler.

    old userwith p/s problem need help on 2006

    I went with a combo setup of new and old pieces fused together. I originally bought a set of JTSVP fittings/hoses for my setup, but I never liked the way they fit. The kit had lines for multiple hoses (pump to fan and fan to rack), but I only wanted to replace the pump to fan one as it was the...

    does the fan module on 03 to 06 go bad and can they be rebuilt

    Depends on what you mean by "go bad". They are hydraulic motors with some valving in them. Generally speaking I wouldn't expect the motors to go bad unless something else in the system goes bad first (aka you shred a pump and put a bunch of metal into the system. What I also learned is that...

    The great blend door teardown (with pics)

    I'd probably check the ASD fuse and relay in the engine bay fuse box as well. That fuse runs pretty much all of the injectors and coils if I remember correctly and can make the car do some funny things when it blows. Otherwise it kind of sounds like a communication issue between the modules...

    Thoughts on removing buildup on gas cap? (Pic)

    You can do a clear powder coat as well, which might be a nice blend of both options. I believe the stock wheels were polished and clear coated with a pretty dang durable setup from what I could tell.

    tires

    What do you think of the 4S's? I've run the PSS on my 04 ever since I've had it, but now that those are discontinued I've been debating between the PS4S or trying out some Continentals.

    Belanger exhaust system. Help.

    That seems excessive to me, but I've only put headers on a gen 3, not a 4. I don't recall having to take much if any of the top/front half of the engine off, but if you were pull a factory manifold out of the top of the engine bay, those instructions might make more sense. Loading stuff in...

    Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?

    Hard to say, but at that kind of age it's probably a little bit of both. I know the seals on my 04 have split in several places, even with the doors being well aligned ever since I bought it. I've also put quite a few miles on mine though, so I may have more door cycles than most. You figure...

    Gen2 Hydraulic Clutch Line

    I know you can buy adapters to convert them to plain AN line. I run a T56 in my 67 Dart and use a Viper slave cylinder and I bought fittings to replace the quick connect. You've got to remember to remove it when dropping the trans, but I think master cylinder access is okay to unscrew it. I...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    It'll hopefully get there, but it's going to take time. You can't really compare a Lambo to a Viper as far as parts as they are two very different companies. Every car Lambo builds is low volume from the get go and their whole factory and business is based on that. Dodge builds millions of...

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    For what it's worth, the Viper parts availability is hopefully coming around and getting better. As the cars get older they start wandering into "classic" territory, and there is an initiative out there to get people making parts for them that are approved by Mopar as official replacement...

    Low fuel pressure on start

    I believe there is a check valve built into the pump assembly (where the regulator is on a gen 3 at least).

    Mystery misfire

    If I do end up replacing them down the road I'll probably try NGK next, though I'm not sure if I remember them offering both packs or not. Maybe that was one reason I picked the Delphis originally. Seems like very few brands made both coils.

    Low fuel pressure on start

    My gen 3 has very similar issues, though sometimes even first thing in the morning it will crank for a while. Sometimes it will catch and run on basically one cylinder at a time until it gets enough rpm in it. Does it make any difference if you feather the throttle by any chance? I replaced...

    Mystery misfire

    Delphis where what I had bought as well. I was thinking they were going to be a different Delphi though, so I was a bit disappointed when they showed up. I'm guessing they are probably still fine and the only thing that really makes the Viper ones unique are the different cylinder numbers...

    Mystery misfire

    So went to put in the new coils last night and naturally one doesn’t fit as it has a different keying on the connector, so kind of back where I started. I checked all the electrical connections I could and everything seemed consistent. All the injectors and coils had good resistance back to the...

    Creaking dashboard

    I went after my gen 3 in a similar fashion to what you are talking about. I've noticed some higher end cars will do a lining on the edges of parts to help mitigate issues at joints. I tried to identify as many points as I could on my car and I just cut some plain craft felt and used double...

    Gen 3 Traction Control

    Interesting. I was wondering how it would limit power if it wasn't tied into the PCM, but I see the injector piggyback setup in the pictures. Does it just grab a couple of cylinders to shut down or does it connect to all 10? I would think that could potentially throw some misfire codes, but...

    Mystery misfire

    I was thinking the same thing, but I'm kind of running out of ideas at this point. Swapping injectors didn't seem to make any difference, though I guess I could still potentially have a driver in the PCM going out. You can hear it cutting in and out at idle every once in a while. I tried a...

    Mystery misfire

    Yeah, I had two different ones and they gave inconsistent results between them. Both are just inline neon tube type testers or whatever kind of bulb is in there. One showed a pretty consistent pattern and intensity, but the other one seemed like it would have some dim flashes on and off, so it...

    Mystery misfire

    Wires were replaced with ones from Qualitywires.com, looks like maybe 10 years ago (at least based on an old forum post). I pulled the intake over the weekend and checked resistance on them and nothing looked that different. New coils and plugs should be showing up today, so hopefully that...

    Mystery misfire

    It has some recording capability I think, but I'm not sure I can get much for useful data out of it. Part of that is just the limitation of the JTEC controller as it doesn't exactly have a ton of fields to read out. I think I really almost need something more like an old SunScope that can hook...

    Mystery misfire

    I was trying to do some injector kill testing with my DRB III while idling in the driveway and it's kind of crazy how little effect killing a whole cylinder has on it. It's maybe a 50 rpm drop, but it's a choppy enough cam and loud enough exhaust that it's surprisingly hard to notice. I think...
