    I bought my new viper today. What an awesome day.

    Wow. Stunning!! I didn't think I liked any color other than black for these cars, but this one changed my mind... Bryan '05 black roadster

    Oil Cooler Lines Replacement Recommendations?

    After recommending the JIC / AN fittings for this (above), I want to jump back in and agree with Dan (and Flatout, for that matter) and his warning not to use these for this application. I got both lines installed last night, fired up the engine, and found leaks (drips) on both engine...

    Any RB1 (radio) experts out there?

    Sorry, maybe that's why I'm getting no responses... : ) RB1 refers to a Nav-capable Chrysler radio. I believe it should be plug-n-play compatible with the RBQ (6 disc internal CD) radio that seems to have come standard in at least the Gen3 Vipers. Does anyone have this and, if so, what...

    Oil Cooler Lines Replacement Recommendations?

    Dan, thanks for the warning, and I wish I would have known this before I bought all these AN fittings. They sure seemed like a good solution and a number of threads on this forum had been posted on them. (I get it that most likely folks don't follow up their posts if/when things start...

    Oil Cooler Lines Replacement Recommendations?

    I'm right in the middle of replacing mine on my Gen3. I'm making my own hoses using components like these from Jegs.com It's a piece of cake and you can get all kinds of different colors on the anodized aluminum pieces. They are also gorgeous to look at. Total cost around $175 with black...

    Any RB1 (radio) experts out there?

    Hmmm, 110 views but no replies... How about this: Does anyone have an RB1 with an AI version nav disc that works correctly? Thanks, Bryan

    Just bought my Viper

    Beautiful car -- I think I might have been looking at that one at Palmer because I love the color. Is that the one with the aftermarket rectangular stereo installed? Bryan

    DIY halfshaft questions

    Just a follow-up and closure on this thread. I found that this job was very straight forward, but it did take some time and you definitely need the right tools in order to pop out the lower control arm joint and tie rod joint -- Harbor Freight has a "front end suspension" kit that made it all...

    Any RB1 (radio) experts out there?

    Hi -- just picked up my first Viper, a 2005 roadster, about a month ago. I'm loving it and working on a few upgrades. The first was to pull out the RBQ radio and replace it with an RB1 that I got out of a 2005 PT Cruiser from a wrecking yard. It appears to work just fine except when it...

    First DIY service, couple questions

    Looks great -- just what I'm looking to do. Based on this, I ended up ordering a variety of fittings since the vendor has a no-hassle return policy. I'll close the loop here with pics to show what I ended up doing. Bryan

    First DIY service, couple questions

    Follow-up question that I haven't been able to find an answer for... To replace the oil lines with the aftermarket AN-style lines, there are references to a some great instructions on how to build and install these hoses using fittings and parts, but these are for a different SRT car or truck...

    First DIY service, couple questions

    I'm in the process of doing my first bit of work on my '05 vert that I picked up about a month back, 27k miles. I'm changing all the fluids (coolant, engine oil/filter, tranny, diff) + new plugs, chassis lube, reverse bleed the brakes/flush with new fluid, lube the doors, new door speakers, new...

    DIY halfshaft questions

    Good, thanks, I'm probably making it more complicated than it needs to be. Perhaps I've read too many threads on horribly stuck shafts... : )

    DIY halfshaft questions

    Thanks, Sonoman! Great info... I did do a search for a replacement boot, but didn't find anything other than generic boots. Furthermore, I think it would need to be one of those "seamed" ones since, from what I can tell from my quick look, there's no way to slip on a boot over the CV joint...

    DIY halfshaft questions

    Hi Guys, New owner here ('05 vert) with a couple questions about replacing one of my halfshafts. After getting the car up on blocks for the first time, I found a cracked (damaged?) CV boot on the outer end of the driver side halfshaft. I'd like to consider doing this myself, as much to save...

    New member here, new Viper owner

    Thanks, Brant -- really appreciate your perspective on both items. After two or three unexpected fishtails in just the couple weeks I've had the car, I'm absolutely amazed at how determined this car is to get its rear end heading sideways! : ) I have great and new-found respect for the...
