Just remember: the owner's manual and/or FSM is not always correct.

My '97 DD still has the battery that was in it when I bought the car in '04, and the guy told me then that it was 2yrs old. So...that's going on 7yrs - not bad, I guess.

My '01 Cherokee just got a new battery in April - it had the original Mopar in it

If you can get them for $360 shipped, I'd say do it

Which one my SRT or my bros invader? I sold my ACR i only have the black RT. Ya slight drop in rear front stayed same. The overall spring rate increased. It drives much more sporty. Less roll but not bouncy at all. Deff a good upgrade if you dont want lowering springs I want your Silver SRT hood......

As far as getting the broken bolts out, I wish I had something like a reverse Easy-Out. One that you drill a hole, then shove it in and turn it to the right instead of left. I've got a feeling that it would be easier to just take the broken bolts and drive them through the nut, then go in with a te...

Comments on the transaction: I bought some throttle body parts from Kevo. A great guy to do business with, kept me updated every step of the way, as well as offering technical advice. I would definitely buy from Kevo again

I like my car loud. Screw anyone riding in it. I vote for stock aluminum wheels with high quality tires, Coilovers, removed resonator, K&N drop in filter, and do something about the muffler. (fart can maybe??) Fixed. :D The oem aluminum wheels are 6" width vs 5.5" for the steelies. (14") .5" may no...

Did you overfill the trans? I know from my experience with older cars, overfilling the trans can cause over pressure, and fluid would come out around the dipstick.

To get to 350hp, you'll need to go with a bigger turbo and supporting mods.

It just sort of exploded...there's coyote bits all inside the engine bay...

Cool, I like it! Must have looked really sweet w/the wheels and tires on there

You'll get a more powerful motor, which includes the 2 stage IM, the factory shorty tube header (not a cast iron exhaust manifold), and the 3.94 final drive transmission. You will need to swap the underhood wire harness, as well. Heck, I'd take everything off the parts car to basically make your car...

I'd be swapping drivetrains, then

If it's in running condition, and you have the R/T PCM, you could do a drivetrain swap

Hey, welcome to 2gn!

Did you save the drivetrain from your R/T parts car?

You will love the Prothanes...night and day difference on feel and handling

SlvrACR, you must give me your hood...


So, what we're seeing is a slight drop in the rear, and the front stays the same? How's the handling with the "heavier" springs up front?

Boomba BOV is a horrible design. My friend and I discovered for it to be a decent design it needs an o-ring at the bottom to seal boost which it doesn't. Leaks boost. We took it apart and realized this. Minez has an o-ring :thumbup: If you like it thats all that matters. Hopefully you don't have it...

Zip ties and duct tape - the world would fall apart w/out them :lol: Glad to see you got your car back on the road :thumbup: I had the same problem (both shifter bushings were shot, too), so I made one out of a piece of polyurethane, a couple of fender washers, and an E clip. I'll pin the other 3 bu...

You could always use another coolant bottle from another model/make of car - one that is smaller, and able to be remotely located from the original mounting position. This will help to maintain some of that factory look...

Define "old"...lol

Welcome to 2gn! Great bunch of folks here (as I'm sure you know) - great place to have some fun and get some knowledge

Front SRT4 stock springs are a slightly higher rate, so your front will look a bit "lifted". Rear will most likely look stock.

Wow, that does look really nice! Excellent work

Personally, I'd go with the one that Dante has on his car

I'd do struts/springs, first. Then, after you're dropped, look into wheels. OR, after struts and springs are done for handling purposes, put some go under the hood with I/H/E. Then, after you have the power to back up the pending looks, put some tasteful wheels/tires on it. That would be/has been my...

Oh, ok, I remember him. I was looking at a car he had for sale back in July of '07...a '97 Expresso, if I recall...

Lmk when you're ready to change your shifter out

UdP and a modular clutch with an aluminum flywheel will get you to 5k quicker, if that's what the OP is talking about...in addition to things that free up/make more power, as excon already stated.

Frank, I got my info from a FEMA engineer (not Gov. FEMA, but a real engineer). We even cut open several different brands of filters to see which ones had bypass valves, and which ones didn't. All the filters we cut open were intended for the 2.0 or 2.4 motors.

OhNo2.0 , think about what you just wrote..."The valve is not a BYPASS valve but more of a flow restrictor. (sic)" Why would they do anything to restrict the flow of oil?? The bypass valve is there for when Grandma forgets to get her oil and filter changed, and the element plugs up with dirt and co...
