Hello, I've been reading posts from the last couple hundred pages. Wow! There is a ton of great information being shared here.
I have a stock 94 rt/10 with 13,000 miles and have just come across my first major problem, which led me to do some research and I found this forum. I look forward to learning much more about my snake from all of you. Thanks, Andy

Welcome,
You have definately found the right place to learn more about your car. I have learned so much about mine from the short time that I have been here too and learn something new almost every time I visit and browse this site.

Thanks for the welcomes.

Only one real problem but I've found the solution reading through the site.
Head gaskets are history. Found anti-freeze puddle under the car while in storage recently. I thought I was smelling burnt anti-freeze when I drove the car and now know why.
I just wish I had known before my extended warranty had run out a year ago.
I will also get the throttle cable synchronization done and hopefully get rid of that bucking bronco I have.
Oh yea, can't forget the door poppers! They sound great, so I think I'll add them also.

Welcome Andy. Good choice of a car.. 94 sidepipe, By the By what color?? Look in the "How To" section of the VCA it will show you how to do the sync of your throttle bodies, easy procedure, will solve your bucking problem also. Any by all means if you ever need any info or parts call Chuck Tator. I spent about a half an hour whineing to him about some small problems I'm having with my 94. The Wizard will definitely take the time to help you out and will steer you in the right direction. Good luck and enjoy the ride. :2tu:

stu man-

welcome!

came across the throttle cable synchronization piece and went to the illustrated upgrades section, but it say it only applies to 92-96. is that right? my 2000 r/t does it as well and i'm wondering if doing the sync would help. anyone know? thx.

Don't need the synchronization piece on the 2000, cable setup changed.

Andy, Don't immediately write off antifreeze on ground during storage as head gasket issue. Especially in cold climate storage.

Check if it might be coming from front facia. If it is it could be puncture in facia "puke" tank, fittings loose from non clamped hose from radiator cap to facia tank, radiator cap being drop center type and should be spring center, or air in system.

Welcome from one new subscriber to another!
This site has a tremendous volume of information - I've only been here a couple of weeks and still searching the archives.
Aren't Vipers great? :2tu:
