The car goes into hibernation today. Can't wait for spring!

https://www.allpar.com/news/2019/12/chr ... dger-46729

I''m curious as to what the police find out. I have a copy of this book (autographed by the surviving co-author) and highly recommend it- pricey but worth it.

I had to make a supermarket run on Thanksgiving Day. Since I seldom get to drive the SRT, it was really fun to have it out, especially being out of town where few see my car (it was scheduled to be at the dealership there in town the next day). A couple of teenagers really checked out the car as I d...

Keep all the old parts?

No. The power steering pump was sent back to the factory for a return of the $50 core charge. The dealership disposed of the rest.

...when is the install date at the dealership? Waiting til Spring or so? Already finished, done yesterday. I lucked out with being able to get the car in to the dealership before the rain hit today. I forgot to thank you for the link to MP for the PS hose assembly- you were a great help! :salute:

The tech told me that he usually doesn't see many problems with the bolts that I couldn't replace. Perhaps my having Ziebart undercoating from new helped? I don't know.

I feel very fortunate to have OD as a source for parts information. His list was a terrific guide!

Thanks again for the info. Put it to good use yesterday.

Does anyone know what kind of marker DCX used on the power steering fluid reservoirs? My OEM one had a white line on it, starting from the firewall side and going forward to the radiator side. The line got thicker as it went. I think that it might be some kind of grease pencil. Any ideas?

What did you end up doing about the discontinued bolts? My tech was able to reuse the OEM ones. I was really concerned about possible corrosion keeping him from removing or reusing them but he had no trouble. I am really disappointed about the parts I couldn't find. I spent weeks online, trying to ...

Information updated from occasional demons' part list and what I paid for parts at dealership today: 5273760AC 1 EDV PUMP, Power Steering $312.00 after subtracting $50.00 core charge- not re-manufactured part 4891517AA EDV STRUT, Power Steering Pump discontinued, unavailable 6101503 EDV SCREW AND WA...

Poor GM... boo hoo hoo. Maybe you should have taken Sergio up on that merger offer.

I deleted the post since I found the part number through my local dealership. According to the dealership, the number associated with my VIN is 4891519AE.

I know nothing about the link you provided from MP. Since I want to keep my stock AC, that link wouldn't have helped me. But thanks anyway.

Are there any seals or gaskets that go along with the pump? Also, are there seals and gaskets for the power steering hose assembly?

I had originally ordered from another seller but no cooler in their description and parts explosion. After I checked out the MP part link from MyNeonSaysHi, I canceled the first one and then ordered from MP. I had forgotten the discussion at TMI about how perhaps the leak was coming from the cooler ...

I've ordered from MP so we'll see about the cooler.

Thanks again for the info. I bought a new hose assembly yesterday afternoon.

In anticipation of a drive today, I backed the car out of the garage only to find a 5 inch diameter spot of power steering fluid on the floor where the power steering hoses attach to the steering rack. The car has been driven three times since returning from Carlisle. Stopped by the hometown Dodge d...

Not built here? No thanks!

Meh, looks like it won't happen. Maybe in the spring.

Someone should tell him that Chuck Norris doesn't extend protection to SRT wings installed on 1st gens.

Best laugh I've had all day!

More bad news for what used to be a good company. I'm sad.

Thanks for sharing the pics!

Yes, he is still around... just not online very much. He was at Carlisle this year with his family. Oh, welcome back!

Tow truck! This is what I was thinking at Carlisle this year when my car broke down. Hope that the fascia survived okay.

Ha-ha about Johnny Cash- forgot about that one.

I think that the ground wires eventually snap due to the hinges being opened and closed repeatedly over the years. At least that is the guess my body man had when the driver's side on my car went out. I'll be prepared for the passenger-side now.

Bought the passenger-side hood hinge from an eBay seller. Another part to add to the pile in my loft. This makes me think of the M*A*S*H* episode where Radar was mailing a Jeep from Korea to the states, one piece at a time.

I believe David's is the black SRT with the stock silver wheels.

Yep, that's mine but before the Stage 2 sprayers.

Can I see a pic of yours Midnight?

I used to have many photos linked from photobucket years ago but don't have a photo website at the moment- sorry.

from the owner of another black SRT.

Yes. Sorry, I should have been more specific. Hope this helps!
