Mickey is waiting for my call to help out, first I wanted to exhaust the possibility of somebody local that that knows and can work on Viper drivetrains, that way I would not have to take time off from work and/or rent a car... which could be very difficult for me these days. In the end I...

Thank you for the offer Jake, that would be great... I can furnish enough "will power" to do whatever is needed :D . I have already done the upgrade to the viper master/slave cylinder, could it be a problem with the installation? I think the problem might have started to creep up after the...

First, thanks for the PM's, George and Mickey. Jake, My clutch is not disengaging completely (I think) and it is getting hard to engage gears from a stop, reverse has become almost impossible without bumping it into motion first. Might be as simple as bleeding the clutch, but who knows...

I will ask them, thank you.

Dealer has done me wrong twice.

Where do you guys take your trucks for service and repairs (other than the dealer)? I called KRC and they do performance upgrades but no repairs... Any thoughts? Much appreciated!

Well, I can see what you mean... I'll ask my wife if she'll allow some girls to ride the passenger side to test the theory... purely scientific interest, of course. Passenger side blows air, but it stays hot until after 20 minutes of riding, at that point it slowly starts to cool. However...

Here comes the hot season again with the reminder that my passenger side AC still blows hot air. Has anyone found a solution, recall, or anything. Thank you much for any advise!

I used to buy Boost juice from Snow Performance http://www.snowperformance.net/product.php?pk=3 But Walmart's 30-deg windshield washer is the same mixture (different food coloring :) ) for a fraction of the price.

Thank you for the responses, anyone else cares to chime in? To all you guys with higher mile Paxton setups, have you noticed your SC getting a little louder at idle? Mike

Paxton has been on for about 20k miles, so far no problems. I have noticed the high-pitch whine has gotten louder that it used to be, especially at low rpm, but no performance issues that I can feel. Just being proactive here, should there be any maintenance done to the SC, other that the...

As you know the viper engines were designed as a very different animal than a high-winding V8 (like the 426 Hemi), with greater emphasis on low end torque not horsepower. To keep the low end torque high the head flow had to be restricted. So when you talk about opening the heads for greater...

I've heard "what's wrong with the truck?" too many times from her already, but it is more than that, It's an anoying problem when I drive it even if I get around it.

Prof, to be honest I can only remember a very few, a CJ5 and a toploader in the 70's and a few rice burners in between. I know what you say about sometimes things not lining up and having to engage another gear first, but this is more severe and has progressed. I can work around it, but my wife...

Stock shifter, briefly installed Gary's shifter a couple years ago but it wasn't for me.

That would make sense, when reverse finally engages sometimes there is this ever so slight jump of the truck. I will look into that, thanks!

Fluid looks ok... Can you give me some more info on resetting the gears? I did swap shifters a couple of times over the years, the tolerances on the shifter link seemed pretty tight and I didn't notice any kind of slop that could affect things... Let me know, if it is what I think you said it...

Truck has 33,000 miles. The viper slave and master cylinder was installed at 10,000 miles and the clutch at 15,000. Seems to early to be changing stuff like that, but I imagine something in there could be defective... I'll have that checked, sounds a lot better than something inside the tranny...

What would make it difficult to shift while the truck is at a dead stop? Sometimes it is hard to get it into 1st gear, and putting it into reverse even worse. I've had to shut the truck off to shift it into reverse, then crank it again in gear. Shifting into second gear followed by a shift...

Hey man, thanks! I have an RC, so no problem here (I think...)
