Buying The ULTRA RARE 90'S Dodge No-One Knows About | 1996 Dodge Stealth R/T TT

[@shadymaint1]

I did a timing belt on one. Owner bought it and brought it in for us to check over. It drove and ran ok but did not have the power I thought it should. During inspection I found the timing belt was cracked and needed replacement. During disassembly I found the old timing belt was one tooth off on one of the exhaust cams. Put it all back together correctly with new parts. Was a completely different car afterwards. Ran just like I thought it should. The owner couldn't believe the difference. He was ecstatic.

[@JrodsGarage]

Man that’s really awesome story.

[@broocewhane1142]

You are an INSANELY talented mechanic then. Did the timing belt job take over a year to complete?!

[@sarahstewart4306]

Had a tt stealth when I was 19, 34 now with a modded 98 talon TSI. These cars are so addicting

[@broocewhane1142]

@@sarahstewart4306 true story🤙🏿

[@riccello]

So how did the missing timing belt tooth cause the car to loose power? The belt wouldn't slip with one tooth missing. And if the belt slipped, the car would not run at all.

“No one knows about it”? No, everyone knows about them, they’re just always broken.

[@iamatlantis1]

came to leave a similar comment, my work here is already done. I didnt realize they were _that_ rare though, gg.

[@TheConstitutionState]

Kinda a dumb comment when there's clearly one right here that's not broken... so how are they "always" broke? And what do ya expect for a 30+ year old car? You dont expect it would need some work unless kept prestine? Some ppl are just ignorant

[@negativeindustrial]

@@TheConstitutionState I expect it to be dead reliable like all three of my 1990s turbocharged Toyotas still are but that doesn’t change the fact that these cars were on cinder blocks waiting on difficult to perform repairs in the 1990s while all of the Nissans, Hondas and Toyotas just kept on making boost. It’s not like these cars weren’t desirable but damn.

[@daryl9799]

​@TheConstitutionState Not really there pretty much in the same class as a turbo eagle talons always broken with issues. These cars are extremely tough to work on turbo technology from the 90s was brutal plagued with non stop issues. This is a car you keep stock and drive it once in a blue moon im sure in the future they will be worth a ton.

[@JohnnySilverwrench]

​​@@TheConstitutionStateclearly dumb when you over paid look at all your comments from actual mechanics and car people....your type of people is why the car market is the way it is now... And no the 3000gt was the same platform Mitsubishi eclipse eagle talon and Dodge avengers where on a different platform please get facts straight before overselling this car.....so rare there's 4 down the street 2 run but no one wants the headache when they shit themselves and guarantee you they will just like Subarus engine grenading due to boxster engine oil starvation...do some damn research please before making other videos like this....

Yup, hated working on them compared to the Talon/Eclipse.

[@joeg5414]

I had a pearl white 91 RT/TT. Threw a rod after about a year and sold it.

[@ihelpidiots5102]

@FordPickUPRed I also had a 1g eclipse, which was simple to work on. Eventually, I got a Z32TT, such a nightmare. Low flat hood with almost a boxer motor. It was engine and bullshit from fender to fender. Plenum pull just to do injectors. Add age and brittle wiring harnesses, and it was a complete nightmare. I miss the easy DSM 4G63T. Was such an easy but rewarding platform to tweak.

[@paynelcasey]

i wanna hear more about this pain to work on. cramp engine bay?

[@Spammflavor]

@paynelcasey It's all tight everywhere. The emissions setup is just crazy. I love the car. Mechanical it has a crapy tranmission. I put a Trans cooler qwick like. And I found the loudest blow off valve I could find. But what makes this so bad ass, that all wheel drive.

[@JustANickelMore]

Growing up in a 90's trailer park, odd to remember some of these I got to see, everyday, 1 Stealth, 2 Avengers, 1 Duster, 2 300ZX, 2 AMC Javlins, 1 Gremlin, GranPrix coups, Chevettes & Citations, Lumina Euro & Berettas, 1 Nova on & on... The weekends there was road course racing in the Jeep plant parking lot right across the street. 😄 I miss that Damn Trailer Park... 😁 I Miss The 90's...

[@sn4rl277]

The Dodge Stealth was a joint platform with Mitsubishi 3000GT or the GTO as it was named in Japan. Most folks at that time preferred the cheaper Mitsubishi Eclipse Turbo, which was also a shared platform with Eagle Talon. All four of these vehicles were part of the Diamond-Star Motors joint venture between Eagle, Chrysler, and Mitsubishi. DSM became MMMA or Mitsubishi Motors North America. Eagle was what Chrysler named the then purchased AMC or American Motor Corporation. I know a lot of folks will scoff at 300HP car and not consider that at the time it was manufactured it was a lot of Horsepower for a stock car. The VR4 - R/T Turbo was the GTR of American cars in the 90''s. I was a huge GM Typhoon fan. I test drove one and wanted to buy it but my high school job at the time didn't cover the payments. I think every 90's kid has a 90's car they knew they couldn't afford, but now 30 something years later, we finally can. Great video and congrads on getting that 90's car you always wanted.

[@druunderwood]

thanks for making content for these cars...I love them and am a super nerd about them as well and have been since my dad brought one home brand new in 1991 (I still have it)...I just took my 92 TT across the country for 3 months, and despite all of the trouble I had, it was awesome..i saw THREE on the road in that entire span...and I had so many conversations about mine at gas stations, rest stops, in traffic, etc...they are special cars for sure...

[@dripperformanceandlighting5459]

I had a 91 rt tt back in 2014 and loved it. Blew the motor the first day I had it lol but after I fixed that and put a braced transfer case in, it was solid.

[@mechanicundercontract7752]

I worked for Bozz Speed and customized those daily. Only problem we had with them is the glass transmissions. Never launch it or bang gears on the freeway…immediately get a transmission cooler added. Or else you’ll be spending $7-8k just to purchase one. Car is a heavy weight and is a grand touring machine, not a car for thrashing at the quarter mile tracks.

[@3kzack]

Transmission cooler on a manual transmission?

[@derekdreke4990]

I had a guy trying to get me to buy his VR4 and he had split the trans in half probably from trying to do AWD donuts I'm guessing. But he was trying to get 8+ k idk car had 120k on it and I feel it was beat on pretty hard just a good luck with that and pass from me

[@billspangler2685]

My buddy was cruising around with me in his 95 VR-4 with my 95 Z28. As soon as he shifted out of second from a dig his trans literally exploded with 70k on it. We rarely get to cruise around together in our projects because one of them is almost always broken 😅

The Aux port was there for people to plug their portable CD player into the car. At that time. CD players in cars were expensive to implement probably. Most cars had the factory tape deck and had a CD changer in the arm rest, glove box, or trunk.

[@JrodsGarage]

Growing up in this era. I never had a portable cd player. But that makes sense !

The kids love it too

[@chuckersw]

Man, i got to say this car always got an "A" for effort and cool gadgets, but from the sound of it, the engineers forgot the KISS rule of engineering. I remember them to be solid for the first 100k, but afterward, they were a nightmare to maintain. This is the first car I remember requiring the engine to be removed for timing belt replacement. Masive hours for otherwise simple maintenance items because of complex systems.

3000 Gt VR4 twin turbo was better then the Stealth in power but that is where Dodge messed up. Make 2 identical cars. Make them the same power also.

[@IlianNachev]

The power of the Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 and the Dodge Stealth T/T is identical as the two cars are mechanically identical! The differences were cosmetic. The only thing the Stealth never got was active aero.

[@LynxStarAuto]

No you're remembering it wrong. The VR4 and Stealth turbo were identical. It was in the lower trims where Dodge kinda goofed. The 3000GT was only available with the 24V DOHC 3.0 in either turbo or NA flavor. The base model Stealth brought the 12v SOHC 3.0. You had to step up to the ES or R/T to get the 24v DOHC 3.0. Dodge did this to offer a more economical version of the car.

[@sneezinhatch]

Regardless they are a birch to work on I have a 94 3000 gt vr4 and a 95 3000 gt tt stealth. But the 90s 300zx is the biggest bitch to replace parts on all are stock besides the stealth has a big turbo and makes 450 hp

[@solomonbarker9305]

You might want to add more tid bits like the electronic suspension. There were little servo controlled valves inside the struts. You could push the button and make it a super stiff ride for ultimate handling in these super heavy cars. They weren't sports cars, they were touring cars. The butterfly valve in the exhaust was to make it quieter while touring since it closed off the left side muffler exit and re-routed it through the right side muffler making it double muffled. There was a miniature pump driven off the rear differential that pumped the power steering fluid back to the front reservoir that aided in the rear steer. The valve block above the diff was pilot-operated which is what controlled which direction and when the hydraulically operated rear rack moved the rear tie-rods. There were accelerometers under the driver's seat. Automatic side mirrors were an option in Japan. In Japan they had 14B turbos not baby 9B's all American versions came with. You must have soo much more to add. Do you already have a video on all of these things, as I'm new to your channel? If not, please make one!

[@solomonbarker9305]

..It had 2 intercoolers, an oil cooler, and a power steering cooler, which was very necessary since the power steering pump made really high pressure to be able to operate the front rack and pinion, pump oil through over 100" of tubing to power the rear steer, which creates a lot of heat! Truly way ahead of its time. I had 3, I miss them.

I’m a diehard GM guy who loves his LTX/LSX engines but I have a weakness for the JDM sports cars from the late 80s and 90s. Like you it takes me back to my childhood days and seeing those cars and all their tech was spectacular to see back then. Everything back then was trying to be futuristic and cutting edge so to see how far ahead they truly were with features like active exhaust from 30 years ago is crazy!!! Half of performance cars of the past ten years now don’t have active exhaust let alone something from back then. They were really on to something 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥✊🏿

[@JrodsGarage]

Man spot on. All the manufacturers were after the future per say. The most silly electronics and do dads. But it’s what made them epic

[@dabro1569]

@ Thanks for the response big man👍🏿. My favorite JDMs from that golden era are the 3000GT VR4, 300 ZX Turbo and because my best friend had one the FD RX-7. When they’re running properly ( lots of luck with that) the rotary engines are devastating! I saw a guy with a four rotor setup running 9 second quarter miles at altitude when I lived in El Paso. It was as loud as a NASCAR cup car. I’m a GM guy but I respect all well done builds. If you ever come out to SoCal maybe we can get a cruise in 💪🏿🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸✊🏿

For Stealths the 94 was the best year. In 95 Dodge started to de-content the cars to reduce the price to increase sales. Lexan headlights, no more exhaust valve switch, and the the manual climate controls. All cost saving moves.

I remember when the Stealth came out. My step dad wanted one. I haven't seen one in person for decades.

[@LearningFast]

I would love to have a modernized version of these cars. I really appreciate the original ones but for my needs I would like to have one with modern features.

So sick bro, what an awesome ride.

Graduating in 93, that aux port I used to put my Sony CD player with anti skip into it to play my CDs

Beast Paul walker raced in the end scenes of the first f&f paul went rouge. You would need the tricked out dvd version to see Paul race a FSpyder and take it out on the boost love this video guys

[@anthonyholleran9378]

WOW! What a UNIT! I love it! ❤

[@Silver99_YT]

Man, I'd love to see that collection in person! I wanted a Stealth or 3000GT back in the day, too.

Me and a buddy at work are keeping the DSMs alive. He has a 95 3000GT VR4 Spyder hard top convertible and has 80k on the odo and looks new. I am still rocking my 95 Eclipse GSX with only 84k on it. It needs paint but parts are hard to find.

[@ryandubyah2345]

I always loved the stealth, I was in my late teens and always lusted after one if I could ever find the cash back then. I was a HUGE fan of the Avengers & Probes of those years too, but the Stealth RT/TT was damn near supercar status for us less than rich kids.

[@JrodsGarage]

So neat to me. The avenger and the stealth share the tails

[@chriscota1635]

I have owned 3 different 3000gt vehicles and love them all. Some really nice ones over the years that are unicorns. I have the one I boy right after high school that needs TLC, but I have always loved the platform. Transmissions were a problem if you liked hard launches. They did best with roll racing but being AWD that isn’t the bread and butter of the platform. Harder and harder to find parts these days. I will always love the platform

[@8lakk5unshine]

I remember the Dodge Stealth as a cool car that was overshadowed by the Viper!This particular Stealth find is impossible. Thanks for sharing.

[@hushg2000]

Viper? Try anything jdm and DTM 😂

[@8lakk5unshine]

@@hushg2000 Yeah, I forget. The Viper was out of most people's budget. Who would want a Viper anyway when you could get a CRX?

[@stephenumphress5705]

Damn even had a rear windshield wiper. That’s a best little feature. They really do help in heavy rain

[@bamaboi6845]

Its a truly blessing that you are able to obtain your dream car

[@druunderwood]

I believe the 95-96 Stealths are the lightest 3S cars too...no ECS or Active Exhaust..and I believe it's the 95 and 96 that also lost the All Wheel Steering..i'm about 99% positive this car does not have AWS....curb weight is somewhere around 3700....

[@gravesmusic]

Cars in the 90’s had auxiliary ports (aux) because we had mini disc players and 32mb mp3 players. You could also plug a laptop in.

[@trevorweeks3008]

Test drove one in Orlando in late 95'. Was working a deal on it, and it was sold out from underneath me while at the dealership! I was soo pissed I went and bought a lightly used (dealer miles...lol) example of a 93 240SX SE Notchback Coupe. Loved it soo much i forgot the Dodge deal altogether. Told my pop what happened, he remined me of Webster's definition of Dodge--- TO AVOID!! HA!! Still wish i was able to have made that deal, I really was the "Odd One" in my crew that wanted a 6 cylinder instead of a Mustang or a Cam-er OH!

[@mopargm9329]

Hell yeah I remember when they were new I always love those. Very cool that you got one especially an R/T

[@BCJerbs]

I do believe they did a couple in metallic blue....and a few dollars worth of cooling system and a chip...these were wicked fast!
