    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...

    Mystery misfire

    So I was driving home the other day and my 04 started having a noticeable misfire when getting on the throttle. It wasn't terribly noticeable while just cruising, but it seemed like it got progressively worse on the drive home. It would stumble a little taking off and actually even pop out the...

    Buying Gen 3 with 8 prior owners?

    A lot of it also just comes down to how comfortable you are with working on cars. I'll tackle just about any repair job other than body work (unless I can just bolt a new panel on). Granted, that doesn't mean that parts aren't still expensive and would make the "final" purchase price...

    Used Gen 3 Belanger header value? Whats fair offer?

    Anyone ever done just the Prefix PCM with stock exhaust? Would be curious to know how the numbers compare.

    Custom gauge test

    I actually kind of like it. Little bit of glare on the housings, but probably not that noticeable if you're looking straight at it.

    Used Gen 3 Belanger header value? Whats fair offer?

    The factory setup is basically shorty headers already, so if I wasn't switching to long tubes I don't know if I'd bother. The other general thing about bolt on parts is the typical saying of "an engine is an air pump". While the factory likely had emissions and noise issues to deal with that...

    Broken Passenger Door Panel Handle

    I noticed the plastic behind mine has a lot of cracks on it, but it hasn't fully gone yet. Since it has the decorative metal cover, you might be able to plastic weld it back together with some metal mesh to give it some extra strength. It generally looks terrible, but if it's covered and it...

    Purchased a 2004 Viper

    Stiff shifting when cold is pretty normal if it's running the OEM fluid (Castrol Syntorq). I've driven my 04 in the teens and 20s for temps and the first couple of shifts were like stirring syrup. Once you get a little heat in the box it should loosen up. You could potentially switch over to...

    1993 Viper wire in trunk

    Maybe a battery tender connection? I've seen some hard mounted in trunks before.
