Engine Options Covered:
Includes specifications for both the standard 3.0L V6 (SOHC) and the performance-oriented 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 (DOHC) found in the RT models.
Horsepower Torque Rt Twin Turbo:
The RT Twin-Turbo typically produced around 320 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque, though variations may exist depending on specific model year and market.
Injection Type:
Multi-point fuel injection (MPI) for both engine variants, with specific details on injectors, fuel pump, pressure regulator, and sensors.
Timing Belt Service:
Detailed procedures for timing belt replacement, including component removal, belt installation, tensioner adjustment, and crucial torque specifications to prevent engine damage.
Wheelbase:
Approximately 97.2 inches (2469 mm) - consistent across the first generation.
Length:
Approximately 178.5 inches (4534 mm) - consistent across the first generation.
Width:
Approximately 70.7 inches (1796 mm) - consistent across the first generation.
Curb Weight Rt Twin Turbo:
Varied by configuration but generally around 3600-3800 lbs (1630-1720 kg).
Wheel Bolt Pattern:
5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 inches)
Crash Test Data:
Specific NHTSA or IIHS crash test data for the Dodge Stealth is not widely publicized or may vary by testing agency and year; however, as a sports coupe of its era, it was designed with typical safety features.
ABS:
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) was standard on RT models, with detailed diagnostics and repair procedures included.
Airbags:
Driver and passenger airbags were standard on later models, and the manual will cover their system components and diagnostics.
Seatbelts:
Front seatbelt pre-tensioners and three-point harnesses are covered for proper function and maintenance.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,750 to 7,500 miles (6,000 to 12,000 km) or 6 months, depending on driving conditions. Manual will specify exact intervals and oil type.
Timing Belt Interval:
Crucially, timing belt replacement is recommended every 60,000 miles (96,000 km) or 4 years to prevent catastrophic engine failure. Manual will provide precise intervals.
Engine Oil Spec:
Typically SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30, API SG or higher. The manual will detail the exact specification and capacity (e.g., 4.5 quarts for 3.0L V6).
Transmission Fluid Type:
Specific ATF type for automatic transmissions (e.g., ATF SP-II) and manual transmission gear oil specifications (e.g., GL-4 75W-90) will be detailed.
Coolant Type:
Typically a 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol antifreeze and distilled water. Manual will specify capacity and Mopar-approved coolant if applicable.
Common Wear Items:
Timing belt system components (tensioner, idlers), CV boots, O2 sensors, and potentially clutch wear on manual transmissions are common considerations for this model.
Electronics:
As with many vehicles of this era, some electronic components related to climate control, power windows, or the ECU might require troubleshooting, which the manual addresses.
Dodge Performance Lineage:
The Dodge Stealth represented a unique chapter for Dodge, bridging a gap into the affordable sports car market through a partnership with Mitsubishi.
Platform Sharing:
Based on the Mitsubishi 3000GT platform (also sold as the GTO in Japan and Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 in North America), the Stealth was a rebadged and slightly re-styled version.
Manufacturing Location:
Produced in Japan by Mitsubishi Motors.
Sales Performance:
The Stealth enjoyed moderate sales success during its production run, appreciated for its styling and performance, particularly the RT Twin-Turbo model.
