    Sound System & Horn not operational?

    I have the airbag/horn switch part on order from the dealer. It was suppose to be here August 26th. Then Sept 10th. Now they said October 8th. I am not holding my breath. So it is still not fixed. If it does not come in by mid October, the plan is to disassemble it to see if I can fix the...

    Gen 5 Hood Inserts

    Hello, Does anyone know if the 2013 Gen 5 SRT hood inserts are all the same for the left side and same for right side? I have a SRT hood and having trouble identifying which inserts I need. On my 2008 hood each bezel was different and I can't figure out if that is the same for the Gen 5 SRT...

    Sound System & Horn not operational?

    Any update on this? Anybody have luck fixing it? Same symptoms on my 2013 Viper, my horn does not work and all other controls on steering wheel work. I actually replaced the fuse (even though the other one was not broke) and the horn actually worked but then about 2 minutes later the horn...

    How to adjust window so it doesnt hit frame

    Hello, Does anyone know how to adjust the window inboard or outboard so it does not hit the frame when closing. I have a 2013 Viper and when you close the driver side door and the window rolls slightly up, it hits the frame. It is not the up and down that needs adjusting but the in and out. I...

    Viper Tech in Austin Texas

    I just wanted to follow up on this in case anybody needed a good honest shop in the Austin/Georgetown area that will work on Vipers. I have been taking my Viper to H&H Auto Repair in Georgetown on N Austin Ave. They have changed trans and axle fluids, replace ball joints, sway bar end links...

    2013 Viper - no lock/unlock with buttons or FOB

    My 2006 has acted up in the past too. One day the doors would not even close. The door latch would stay open and not shut no matter what I did or button I pushed. Luckily I was home and not out when it happened. Some people have reported just disconnecting the battery and it reset the BCM...

    Need tire help! And how bad are old tires….

    Also, just wanted to clarify because it took me a moment to realize it. Jon with Viper Parts Rack is not same as Tire Rack. All the company names run together to me. If you do get a quote from him my experience is it best to call versus trying to navigate his website which may up to date. Not...

    Need tire help! And how bad are old tires….

    Another thumbs up for Contintental Extreme Sports. I just had them installed a few weeks ago. I had a really good experience with Jon at Viper Rack Parts. He had the tires shipped to me super fast. As SA Heat mentioned, I think the 355 fit the rear wheel better. Plus, it was the least...

    Where to get 335/30r18 tires mounted

    I just had a really good experience with a mobile tire change company. They came out to my house and change all my tires. It seems like (this franchise anyway) has the equipment to handle most tires sizes. The 355/30r19 tires was a non issue for them. Looks like they have somebody in Chicago...

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Doing a little more searching, I now see there are different groups that have reserved days/times to run out there. I came across Chin Track Days but if you have recommendations to a particular group to get started with I am all ears. Thanks!

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Do you have any information on that you can share? I would love to eventually get involved doing track days. I have done the longhorn race experience at COTA which was ok but I am sure it is a completely different experience using your own car.

    Viper Tech in Austin Texas

    That was my initial thought too... it is just a dodge. But after the getting told from the dealerships they won't do basic service requests, it had me questioning. But I agree, I am sure it is not difficult to work on it and I could figure it out on my own, it would just be nice to be able...

    Viper Tech in Austin Texas

    Thank you for the heads up about Calvo. I called a shop that specializes in classic cars but said he can work on the Viper and will do service work. Change fluids, new rotors and brakes, etc... Not a Viper Tech but he seemed very knowledgeabIe. I will keep you posted if I decide to use him...
