I saw that Cardude's post about catastropic failure of his engine, but I also hear lots of good things about the systems. I'm not talking specifically about one brand or another, just looking for some information about the system as a whole. Is it overkill for our trucks? More of a trackday...

Looking for some advice for prolonging the life of my engine. I have seen some prelube systems for Vipers, but they dont seem to be very previlant. Anyone using a preluber? Thoughts? I have also been looking into the Oil breather sytems from our local vendors. Looking for your thoughts...

Where do you recommend getting the VIPER filter? How about quickly?

Sounds like a good project for this weekend. Correct me if I am wrong, but the first number is the oil viscosity when cold, and the second number is the oil viscosity when warm/hot. How will changing to an oil that is thicker when cold but the same thickness when hot affect the noise from...

Here is a video after the engine cooled down a bit. It seems to be oil related since it gets louder when the oil thins out. Its just as loud on each side, so I don't think its header or exhaust manifold issues, but I checked the manifold bolts anyway and they were all tight...

I would guess oil temp is 200ish, kind of like my coolant temp. I will check the manifold bolts tonight.

28K on the engine. Oil pressure is ~75 during warmup. 25-50 during normal driving. Temp in this are is currently 60-70 degrees. Coolent runs around 195, oil temp in in the center (strait up) not sure what the temp is though.

I drive primarily through town. 6miles each day. Not too many traffic lights, but I spend plenty of time at 35mph.

Its 0w40 Mobil with about 1500 miles on it. Dipstick reads good and the oil is a light tan, a shade or two darker then new oil. Filer is a Mobil 1 I believe.

Need some help on this one. I bought my 10 a few months back and I had it inspected by the local dodge dealership before purchasing. They gave it a clean bill of health. Now, I am noticing the engine seems to have lots of internal noise. I might just be paranoid, and its hard to tell if its...

Now that I look at it, its not until next weekend. I guess I will be waiting another week.

I'm thinking about heading to the Lemay car show tomorrow. Do you have to enter the car show (i.e. be there all day) to park on the grounds, or can you just park there for an hour or two while looking around? What time will you be there?

Awsome Job Hazman. You made my day. Thanks.

I'm in Kitsap County as well. Moving to Whidbey Island in 4 months though. Perhaps all you city dwellers need to come our way since we have more trucks here.

Possible candidate for HAZMAN work PM sent. Really love your work. Simply amazing. Jimlah

If its not too late, I would like to order dash plaques. Jimlah (2) VTR-0131 I am also strongly considering a wall plaque. You could use the photo I just sent you for the registry for the mock up. Any chance this project is still alive?

Just curious has anyone has seen a Blue VCA editions for sale? How much did they originally sell for (I assume there was a VCA "premuim")? Just curious. I wouldn't mind getting a playmate for my other toys if there were any available. :dontknow:

Not sure if anyone in the Seattle area is interested, but there is a Mopar only car show this weekend in Bremerton, WA. We are expecting around 200 cars to show. There are 52 trophies and over 20 categories. I will be there with my truck, but will not be entering the show since my...

Got it. Thanks. You would think by now I would be more tech savvy. Sigh:(

Ok, great. That begs the question, how do we post pictures directly to the site. I see the garage where you can post photos, but how do you post them in a thread?
