    Looking for a gen 2 water pump.

    Only a very small group of Viper owners/enthusiasts are offering this service. Some owners are finding a way to do it themselves.

    That's it in my avatar - with me driving! It is 27 now.

    30 years a Viper owner

    It was a very happy (and HOT) August 14, 1993 for me. My third child had been born a little over a week before, then my gleaming Black '93 RT/10 hit the streets of New Braunfels and San Antonio WITH air conditioning! Lord that car was beautiful - and fun to drive on the track. I traded it 3...

    1996 GTS Drivers Side Door Panel Issues

    1.5 steps above a kit car. Is what it is. My previous ride was a '93 Viper. I was really happy to have glass windows that went up and down with the press of a switch.

    AMSOIL vs MOPAR (Transmission Fluid)

    At this point, it is only conjecture. I did not have Donato, or Rockland, or Calvo build my trans. It is not uncommon to hurt 3rd on an upshift, but I haven't heard of too many 4ths failing with under 500hp at the wheel. Had to do several laps over several sessions with the shifter stuck in...

    AMSOIL vs MOPAR (Transmission Fluid)

    This is a great reference thread! I had my (warranty replaced) Tremec rebuilt along with my engine a bit over 3 years ago. I used Dexron III. I ran it about two years and ended up breaking a 4th synchro at COTA. I bought a very early '98 B-W takeout (VIN VV000004) from Mike to run til I get my...

    Used parts?

    Parts Rack has quite a few NOS Gen 3/4 body panels in stock - some are factory painted.

    Need new tires for 1996 GTS

    If you are shopping for Viper tires, you'd better call PartsRack.

    FINAL answer on Gen V Viper Differential lubricant...plus a Gen IV tip...

    Mike - that's interesting info for transmissions, but this is a differential lube thread...

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    Dang! How deep did you clearance the galley? Looks like more than 1/8" deep, but the photo is lacking in perspective.

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    A guy on FB V-O-G is selling a complete '06 motor with all accessories that picked up a rod knock from a scuffed rod bearing. $7500. He already has a new motor sourced.

    2013 GTS Stryker, 1 of 62

    There was a guy once. Had a Stryker Red he wanted to sell, but was suffering from delusions. It got funny for a long time, but you had to have been there. Your car is stunning and I wish you the best of luck on the sale.

    1992 RT/10 3,366 mile VIN#207 on Bring A Trailer

    Beautiful car and very well presented with nothing missing. A little scuff damage on the right sill bottom, maybe a splash of something on the LR frame rail. But, who hasn't experienced at least 1 spin in their RT/10? :crickets: There is some sort of vinyl cover next to the tonneau and roof...

    There could be a helicopter story around this car, but that's another time and another place. :lol2:

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    Off-alignment necks can be very carefully bent where they need to go. I've used a coated hammer handle as a lever to coax the upper neck on my stocker after a cleaning when they didn't get the tank soldered back square. If I needed to do it again, I'd probably get a short piece of 1.75" OD PVC...

    *** Lockout

    *** Lockout

    The "other" other Viper site. One is unabashedly rough around the edges - even in the middle - but there's some solid people and tech there. The "other" site has been great, but recently had some internal financial mismanagement issues and is acting elitist as they try to work their way out of it.

    PO441 Code

    Your concerns are well founded. They are likely to have to go back behind the fascia to investigate. I would insist that I be in the shop to inspect the quality of the previous work and discuss their plan of action for remediation. I would suspect a generic hose bent in too tight a radius...

    Clutch or something else??

    Looks like the Gen 3 includes purge vapor as a substitute for fuel pulse width. Nice touch. Purge flow is fixed by block in Gen 1 and Gen 2.

    Clutch or something else??

    I don't know for sure, but I'm going to assume that the Gen 3 has a Speed-Density ECU just like the Gen 1 & 2. For those models, air density is determined by MAP (engine load vacuum) and IAT. The OE tune is set up for multiple discrete block values of RPM vs MAP-IAT. There are hard-coded blocks...

    Clutch or something else??

    My DRB-III has a nice bar graph function to watch the O2s on either side of the cats for each bank - all 4 stacked together. If you can display something like that, you could see if the sensors are reacting at the same rate by position, and whether the oxidation/reduction process thru the cats...

    Viper Gen1 - steering wheel holes

    I found this photo earlier today of a Gen3 steering wheel. The master spline is at 12 o'clock. I asked the seller if he could measure the I.D. of the hole.

    Differential gear oil on a 1994 question

    Correct. They say it's in there and it acts like it is.

    Differential gear oil on a 1994 question

    I just serviced my GTS with that product in late May and did 2 days at COTA with it. First time I've tried it, but nothing unexpected came of it - performs just fine. I like the fact that it comes in squeezy containers that fit easily in the confined space. I bought 2, but only used 1.

    Need input for hi flo cats

    600F is usually considered Catalyst "light-off" temperature. That's the working temperature in the substrate, so you lose a little on the tubing.
