    1999 Gts Gen 4 or 5 Motor & dash swap. Questions

    Hello Joe, What you are looking to accomplish is extremely, and I mean- extremely difficult, expensive, and time consuming. As pointed out above, the engine management, wiring, and electronics are nowhere near even remotely compatible between those generations. You would be 15-25K into engine...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    And the above few posts... are exactly what BM1 was alluding to. "How dare you criticize what we are doing, we did it all RIGHT!" Oh yeah? Then why isn't it WORKING? The answers are obvious to anyone who can pull their head out of Dodges ass long enough to take a breath. The current Viper has...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    Hey Jason, I think its a number of things. For one, many of the big-dollar guys have moved to Lambo, and due to the "timing", the Viper crowd was sitting in a niche that got whacked pretty hard by the economy hit in 2008. Beyond that, the aftermarket has largely moved on to other makes, Dodge...

    VPA Announcement

    Bob, I have thought out my suggestion plenty. You are really stretching here, and that's putting it mildly. Last I checked, the VPA was still functional up until this, and could have handled anything related to what I am talking about. The VPA should have an inventory list. If they don't...

    VPA Announcement

    Bob, that answer should be glaringly obvious. A simple email to all of the past and present vendors about liquidation with an inventory list broken down into groups or packages would have gotten the job done as well, in a very fair manner. Oddball items to be packaged by category as not to leave...

    VPA Announcement

    Camfab and Frank basically read my mind on all counts. VSP got shafted just as much as the next guy when the VPA was formed. Where was our opportunity to buy up any part of the VPA? I cannot say I blame Jon or Scharf for doing what they did, at the end of the day thats their business model...

    It was a strange experience.

    I have long debated about offering an upgrade package for the Gen-2/3 cars to add cruise control; true OEM cruise control. Due to our work on discontinued ECU reproduction, we can do it properly. That said, I just don't know if there is a market for it, as the Viper guys seem stubborn on this...

    Engine swap ideas

    Any of the resto-mods short of bone-stock Gen-2 based are better suited to a full aftermarket computer. The Rolls above is using a Pectel Standalone configuration, and it contains quite a bit of capability that it technically isn't utilizing, ha. For something Gen-2 basic, there is an off the...

    Ouch! Honestly, yours is a first! I have not seen/heard of that happening before- but yes, they can be damn tight.

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    With regard to PCM repairs, we have had many, many, many supposedly repaired PCMs come back through here as cores towards replacements. Most of these places dont have the capability or information to do repairs, and just take your money for the diagnosis and walk away.. usually after ruining the...

    Gen 2 to Gen 4 Engine Modification

    Actually you took a different path than I had anticipated. I thought you actually dropped a complete Gen-4 module into your car- which we have done, and is technically possible, pending what year your car is; earlier Gen-2's are complicated with the filler on the module top. I could not tell...

    Gen 2 to Gen 4 Engine Modification

    If you just dropped that Gen-4 pump into the tank without modification.... you are going to be disappointed. There are a number of directions you could have gone, but dropping a Gen-4 into a Gen-2 without a very important set of modifications does not work out too well :)

    SCT Questions

    You nailed it, for the most part. I switched from working with them on the forums to working on the phone, and it rapidly got to the point where I was having them correct issues I found, while not even telling them the "whole story". I was spending so much time sorting out their software and...

    SCT Questions

    Again, the problem was that you kept beating a very dead horse, well after you were asked to drop it. We were plenty respectful to you until you kept on, and on, and on. It is what it is, and yes, the VA is very hostile. That's actually the point. With regard to the problem, we know full well...

    Bought a new PCM for an '06 coupe & the windows do not go down upon opening door.

    Yes, they can. You can send it here also if you need to do so. Yes, putting the old PCM back in and testing the theory is a sound method.

    Desperate for help! CEL P0152. Literally bought Viper 4 months ago & can't drive!

    Absolutely not, do it right,or dont do it at all. Disassemble the harness until you locate the issue, or just replace the harness. Dealer techs do however scare the hell out of me when it comes to work like this. Wiring is probably one of the most lacking skills seen at dealerships.

    SCT Questions

    I didnt even realize it was you until I saw this reply. My reply to you is the same as it would have been to anyone else. It is what it is. The VA thing has nothing to do with you as a person- I am sure you are a nice guy. But you hopped into a thread, without even reading it, WAY late to the...

    SCT Questions

    The number of people out there who truly understand this software can be counted on your hands. Most of them, are in the Viper tuning business. Unfortunately, giving away SCT tuning instructions does little more than handing out free knowledge which they had to pay for with their time and money...

    Bought a new PCM for an '06 coupe & the windows do not go down upon opening door.

    This applies to Gen-4 primarily where VIN is forced and programming is slightly different. The BCM in a Gen-3 is VIN-flashed like the PCM, and it CANNOT be changed no matter what PCM is put in the car with any VIN contained. His BCM should not have spontaneously changed its VIN due to a PCM...

    Bought a new PCM for an '06 coupe & the windows do not go down upon opening door.

    You must use a dealer to replace BCM. They will look at the car, confirm the issue, and order a BCM. Upon arrival of the new BCM, they must either install it themselves or you must surrender the old BCM before they will give you the new one. The BCM contains the VIN and Mileage, so they do not...
