Dodge will keep the Viper
I can't find an internet link, but the latest Motor Trend has some details on Chrysler's plans for the Viper. The goal is to stay with 10 cylinders and maintain a production target of 500 per year. Also a paddle-shifting dual clutch may be in the works. I'm no Dodge boy but I think this is...- WCD

Gadget - forged pistons
Since I haven't been able to mod my truck like I originally planned, I have to look at what others are doing for my own selfish entertainment. I'm curious about those TTC forged pistons you bought awhile back. Are you building up a separate motor for them? Or has the project been put on the...- WCD

Mag-hytec transmission pans
For the Prerunners and 4x4's - I sent these guys an email about making transmission pans for Toyotas. Currently they only offer pans for Ford, Chevy, and Dodge. They aren't cheap, but they are very well made. They have a deeper sump and offer more fluid capacity. More fluid = cooler tranny...- WCD

Tranny oil additive
I just posted this on CT. Everyone should give this a shot. I think you'll like the results. :top: I tried something today with the tranny oil and I think people will like it if they try it. I added some Ford Racing LSD friction additive to my existing tranny fluid. It helped A LOT with the...- WCD

Stock spring question
Later this week I'm putting my stock springs back on. When I took them off originally, I forgot to label them for the driver side and passenger side. Each stock spring has painted blotches on them.

Complete 3.73 gear swap write-up
Sorry guys I f'd up. Let me try this again... Truck in the air ready to go. First thing I do is pinch off the rubber portion of the brake lines to save on brake fluid. It also minimizes the amount that you have to bleed them. This is the old 3rd member. The new ratio is 3.73...- WCD

Tightening up the factory LSD
I read some complaints about the factory LSD. From the factory, these come with a mild, or "nonaggressive" setup of the clutchpack. One of the ways you can tighten that LSD up is by shimming the inside of it. This is what the unit looks like. Not sure how many miles this one had on...- WCD

Custom dual traction bars
I know a guy who works for a 4X4 suspension company, and for the past month we've been trying to come up with a nice dual traction bar setup for the XR. Well, it's now a finished product and it has made a big difference. Both front and rear mounts are dual shear with laser-cut bolt holes. The...- WCD
