Ever hear of this guy! 1-866-966-HELP http://www.troubleshooter.com/ His name is Tom Martino, he's a consumer advocate, and deals with stuff like this on his national radio talk show. Sounds like something right up his alley, they usually harass the hell out of these deadbeat businesses...

viper replacements viper replacements I posted about the Vipers months ago when I was trying to get 1 replacement tire. Yes, Cooper makes them and several other flavors that share the same casing. The Easiest to get would probably be the Pep-Boys Futuras. Do some research most of Coopers sub...

marine crank marine crank Most marine engines are GM in origin, not only Mercury marine's but also the Volvo pentas. GM owns Volvo's heavy duty truck and marine divisions, kind of weird since the automotive division was bought by Ford a few years ago. Anyway, was looking on the 'net for 4.3...

I wonder how well it would work under boost? Anyway you can probably make it from parts from the auto parts store/salvage yard. The breather used is called a "Chrysler" style, and the check valve is used on A.I.R. injection system manifolds. I'd be worried that it will suck oil vapor and...

Well, before when I clicked on the app, nothing happens. I finally got it working thought!!! I went through and erased anything java related, and then reinstalled it, and it works!! I think I had some old versions or parts of java software in various places on my drives. Thx Brad

Thanks for clarifing that. It would probably help me if I could get the Promgrammer program to work on my computer. I'd like to be able to look at the tables and compare the calibration data to what we are discussing. Ok, I was thinking you could only have duty cycles over 100% in async mode...

I have been checking out my latest DM files and I've noticed something strange. When you graph BPW, there are some anomalys in the graph. Datamaster seems to get some odd peaks and valleys. I'm guessing from bad data?? Because the graph simply plots what the data is. I thought, well mabye it's...

Ok, reading the Turbo P4 doc, helps explain fuel delivery modes, section 9.2, excellent reading!! I was thinking that the injectors were always energized at the same time in relation to crankshaft position. I thought the injectors were triggered like, say every time cylinder 1 passes TDC, the...

Ok, I'm still confused. Datamaster shows Inj DC%. But it doesn't seem to calculate it properly, but according to some web sites it does. Here's how some (including Datamaster) calculate Inj DC %DC= [pulsewidth/period]*100 where period=1/(RPM/60) from Datamaster (one of my 93's files) RPM=4000...

It was mentioned that flow doesn't increase much after .500" lift. Do you know why?? Because peak flow efficiency occurs at a lift that is approximately 1/4 the valve diameter. For example 2.02" valves = .505" lift, 1.6"=.400". Sure more lift will provide more flow to a point, after that it...

I had been pondering the on/in dash diagnostic display for some time now. Hooking it up with chip selection controls would be awsome. For those interested this page has info on building a scan tool http://home.t-online.de/home/O_Scholz/flexscan2.html Hopefully all of us will come up with...

ty update ty update Yes it will be parted out. The vehicle had been moved to my house and I will be in charge of the project for the most part. May be a few weeks before were actually ready to sell parts. Thx Brad

even more info even more info The Futura brand tires sold at Pep Boys is another tire made by Cooper Tire. The Futura super sport GTX (H rated) is also a 9.35" tread width tire with a 400/A/A rating. Another Viper HX clone!! Cool Pep Boys has some big sales on tires sometimes!! :) Thx Brad

It looks as though they have been discontinued :cry: However, I did some research, the tires were made for Sears by Cooper tire. Interestingly enough, it looks like Cooper has 3 different tire series that seem to share the same casing (basic tire carcass) as the Viper. Cooper has the Cobra...

We're here, and still trying to get the club organized. We hope to do so more this winter, so far all meetings have rather informal. I know, I've yet to finish the webpage, but haven't had the time, most of us have been busy with work and such. E-mail Will (will_v_stevenson@yahoo.com) he can add...
