    2006 Viper with a lifter tick

    Try driving a Viper with the hood off. That'll definitely make you wince.

    Gen 2 overheating in Texas sun… go figure

    I have a '96 GTS. Stock 2-row brass core radiator that has been rodded and re-soldered. Standard early-model cooling fan module. I have a standard t-stat and now running a FlowKooler 10-vane billet impeller. In normal driving, it definitely moves water more effectively and runs a bit cooler -...

    Viper Gen1 - steering wheel holes

    I seem to recall the steering column was made by Saginaw and used on many vehicles in the corporate offering. I suggest looking at the model lineup for Chrysler from the late 80's to early-mid 90's and check for possible adapters - particularly on the Dakota truck line. Another thing that you...

    Gen 2 overheating in Texas sun… go figure

    You have to burp, and burp, and burp; then drive with the heater on, and cool to ambient several times. Your header tank is going to keep getting low until the air is gone. If the overflow tank in the fascia is not kept comfortably above the mininum window level, it's going to siphon more air...

    Gen 2 overheating in Texas sun… go figure

    Your 165 t-stat is not going to help. You most likely have air pockets in your engine, heater core and hoses that are blocking liquid flow. Search for threads with "burping, coolant flow" and read a bit. Turn your heater on and let the coolant circulate with the engine fully warmed. Keep your...

    Can we verify sequence of 1992 Vipers?

    Yes. He's local and I collaborated with him on parts of his document.. My car started down the line right after Indy and VOI 3

    Can we verify sequence of 1992 Vipers?

    As an example, my GTS was also very early production - starting on 05/29 and is VIN 98. It also came with the D.S. rear oil fill. It wasn't delivered to me until mid-July due to their regional delivery schedule with Reliable Carriers. I'm curious as to what your MDH is Dave? Edit: (MonthDayHour)

    Gen1 o-ring specs ps reservoir to ps pump?

    I recently replaced my 26 year old reservoir. Despite a fresh pump inspection and reseal, it kept leaking. Turns out the reservoir was leaking from the plastic seam welds.

    Gen1 o-ring specs ps reservoir to ps pump?

    This pump/reservoir was also used on Jeep Grand Cherokees.

    Clutch or something else??

    You could pull injector plugs individually to see if there is an expected drop in rpm with each one. Don't run it more than about ~5 seconds unhooked. Plug into the OBD port and check Long Term Adaptive Fuel Trim on Left vs Right bank. Check O2 sensor running values to see if they are cycling...

    Viper Gen1 - steering wheel holes

    Sabelt should have the correct hub available to adapt that wheel to the Chrysler spline.

    Viper Gen1 - steering wheel holes

    The problem is that the factory wheel and hub adapter's fasteners are oriented with the 6 hole group indexed level-across at 9 and 3 o'clock and I assume the master spline is at 12. This wheel has them indexed at 12 and 6. He needs to research Chrysler hub adapters for these critical reference...

    Looking for 2002 Water pump

    No new pumps available. It is possible that the plastic impeller has failed. If that's all that happened, Flow Kooler sells machined billet impellers to press on. If the seal is leaking, you'll either have to rob the guts out of a Gen1 pump and swap them in, or source a rebuilt pump from Old...

    Viper Gen1 - steering wheel holes

    I believe I read that the master spline on the Gen3+ cars are at 90 degrees to the G1 & 2 columns. If one of those adapters is used, that might get the holes clocked right for the Sabelt wheel. You can use the tie rods to move the wheel position center, but the car will bump steer because of...

    A/C help on 1 gen without it

    When I ordered my '93 I got both options: Black paint, and dealer-installed Air Conditioning kit. There's probably a part number for the kit and a breakdown of components. Some vendors like PartsRack, Don Scharf Automotive and Mike Schertzberg might be able to help piece it together.

    Need input for hi flo cats

    You have a Gen 5. You're going to have exhaust code issues with pretty much ANY mods that involve the cats.

    Can you do one like this?
  19. GTS Dean

    Looking at a 94 with some issues. Need opinions.

    The Aussies are coming after the Gen1's now. They're just about at an age point they don't have to be converted to RHD to put on the roads.

    Gen 2 Suspension Bushing interchange

    Helps control rebound. I've tried it both ways back-to-back and the SOTP difference was not insignificant. Looks like our cars are extremely similar except for your heads & cam and larger rotors/calipers. I've done a good bit since I listed my mods years ago.

    Gen 2 Suspension Bushing interchange

    Since this subject has come up repeatedly over almost three decades, I thought I would provide some verified user data for all to benefit from. The only ones I have yet to verify are the rear upper wishbones. When replacing rubber bushings on a Viper, it is CRITICAL to follow the Service Manual...

    Major Oil Leak Help

    That sound may be from either pump cavitation, sucking air someplace, or a cooked seal squealing. A little bit of fluid can make a huge mess of the underside of the car from front to back, including above the belly pan.

    Dangerous Gen III Suspension?

    After 25 years of regular and pretty heavy track driving in my '96 GTS, I finally added external support. I couldn't tell any difference from the way it drove from when I had the INBOARD toe link strut for 21 years.
