Default Oil change

Changed oil in my 05 Viper truck.

Hey guys, can anyone with an SRT10 tell me a good filter to use next time. I've been using WIX. Also just started having a problem fueling. It seems the fill tube won't drain into the tank fast enough to keep pump from shutting stopping, takes forever to fuel up.

I hear ya, next step for me is remove the carrier but it got too dark. Wish I would've done this myself THE FIRST TIME! SKYLINE TRANSMISSIONS in Comstock Park, MI. Had failed to tell me they don't offer seal replacement but did the axle joint and didn't press the cup all the way in on the drivers side. Needless to say. It all comes back apart. $1100 down the tube.

Finished Assembly after doing the axle seals, Drovve it to the trans shop that messed it up in the first place. They inspected it and now even MY work is warrantied. AWESOME! No leaks, no squeeks, and NO FAT CHICKS!

Yesterday I squirted oil through the plug in the timing chain cover to coat the chain because I forgot to do that before I put the cover back on.
Then I put the rest of the front of the motor back together, along with a new Idler pulley.
I also put my home made shock extenders on the front and accidentally stabbed the main wire harness for the PDC with a prybar (don't ask). I need to cut open the tape on that harness to inspect the wires if the rain will give me a break.
