    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I've always used the OEM Viper oil filter (5037836AB) but I've been having difficulty finding them. When I do, they're running around $25 shipped, which seems overly expensive to me. Can someone recommend an alternate oil filter for Gen ll Vipers?

    Question about coolant change on my 1997 GTS with 16k miles

    When I bought my '02 Viper six years ago, there wasn't much maintenance history. I had all fluids replaced. New plugs and wires too. A billet aluminum power steering bracket and pully added as well. I'm sure you'll hear more from others on this forum. Congrats on the car. Oh, and you should...

    My viper conundrum

    I drive my 02 Viper once or twice weekly, averaging 2500 miles annually. I've had mine for 6 years and used to worry about dings, cracked headlights, windshields, etc. No longer. I drive it and enjoy the ride as often as I can. When on interstates and other highways I'm careful about driving...

    Insurance

    I have Hagerty but not so cheap for me. Perfect driving record, live in a high population area of SC, $60,000 agreed value, my cost is approximately $1300 annually. I do have high coverage...$300,000 for most incidents. Maybe that's why the cost is high in my opinion. Drive a 2002 RT/10.

    Gen 2 vs. Gen 5 GTS

    I have a Gen 2 RT/10. Very comfortable car to drive (yes, a dead pedal would be a welcome addition) and it attracts a lot of attention from others. I know Vipers are difficult to find, but sitting in both, and more importantly, driving both, might help you decide. For me, the raw, basic appeal...

    Insurance Question for the Group:

    ^^^Agree with Reguy. I have an '02 RT/10 with Haggerty with a $60,000 agreed value and between 100,000 and 300,000 coverage depending on issues. I'm at $1400 annually for payments. Location matters (lots of accidents here in Greenville, SC) but I'm still way high compared with the $500 annual...

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Do you track your car or is this for general cooling? Curious. I'm thinking about getting the setup to help with AC.

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Had a mechanic install a new condenser that I purchased from AC Auto Solutions (https://autoacsolutions.com/products/). He wasn't impressed with how it was made. Not being a mechanic I'm not sure exactly what he meant other than he thought it wasn't a "modern" style condenser considering it was...
