    IOD Parasitic Draw

    Mikyver13, as Dave said, service manuals for your year are the place to start...and, they are generally available on ebay. Get the printed version as they are much easier to use. Two rules I make myself adhere to when doing the IOD test on a Viper: lower the windows before you start and begin...

    Tom's 40mm rear caliper upgrade

    As I recall, when Tom stopped supplying them, a gentleman in Canada started making them...at least for a time. Since I am not sure where this stands now, I suggest that you text me at 317-402-9013 and I will send the contact info for that person in Ontario.

    Battery source for 2016 ACR Extreme

    That will work just fine...and you can still use your "cross" bracket. My local interstate store is great. They know I will want to see date of manufacture, resting voltage, cold crank, and load test. For tests to be accurate, battery cannot be on a charger for the 30 minutes preceeding the...

    Battery source for 2016 ACR Extreme

    Battery group size for Gen V ACR and ACR-X was V4. Last time I checked, you could get one at MB dealership. Not sure of this, but MB may use these as starter battery only noting there is also a bigger battery in car to run everything else. T5 came in GTS, SRT, T/A, and GT...and will fit into...

    Priming Motor that sat for 6 months. Did I screw up?

    You may get dozens of answers here...some factual, some fanciful, and everything in between. Today's quality full synthetic oils offer a lot of protection by cling to metal parts for a long time. Since I live in a place where winter Viper driving is not a good idea, our Vipers routinely sit...

    New gen ii ACR owner - shifter stiff?

    Starting in 1999, Dodge started using Synthetic Manual Transmission Lubricant 75W-85 (made be Castrol) as the "factory fill". It was used through 2006. This fluid is "stiff" when cold. This was a change from the Dexron II-e and Dexron III used in prior years. The change was undertaken to...

    car wont start and Casey Putsch

    IronClad, Gen I and II are different. As Goggles stated, more info necessary to sort your 1996 GTS. In my opinion, talking through these issues is far more productive and efficient than random postings. Feel free to CALL me if you like. 317-402-9013. Maybe I can help you narrow down the...

    1994 Gen 1 Reverse Lockout

    Yes, you should have a reverse lockout. Therefore, your problem could be a fuse, plug, wire, or the solenoid itself. Interestingly, I did not see it listed under the various fuses in the 1994 service manual. In the 1995 manual, it appears to share fuse #9 with the blower motor. Hopefully...

    Hydraulic clutch

    Jim, noting the many different ways to approach this issue (that most us have used at some point), I would say that it is easy to maintain a well cared for system, but it can be more difficult to rescue a neglected system. Hopefully, yours will be straightforward.

    Hydraulic clutch

    Get a friend and pump pedal. Seriously, I have done that on SCORES of Vipers when Viper Tech Tom Sessions who would come to Indy and work at my friend's CJDR dealership for a week at a time. Tom (former tech inspector for Viper Days/Viper Racing League) would not change clutch fluid any other...

    Hydraulic clutch

    I would suggest that you learn to flush your own clutch fluid. Unfortunately, many, many owners neglect this process. But, if you are worried about doing this on your own, find a shop that works on Vipers to do it and that will show you the process.

    2000 GTS ACR VIN verification

    BoondocSaint, to me there is nothing wrong with a rebuilt car if done correctly and completely by folks well familiar with said car. I have seen more than one of such Vipers that were really well done. You and I are on the same page on the pricing. Sadly, putting a new front fascia on to a...

    2000 GTS ACR VIN verification

    I see that someone else is looking at that same Viper on Facebook...oddly, asking same question on validation. There is a gentleman who has been assembling a registry of Gen II ACR's for several years. He is also well tied into their current values. His opinion coupled with your thorough...

    2000 GTS ACR VIN verification

    After a quick look, it seems to be an ACR to me...about same description as our 99 ACR which was built in first batch for Wife. Is your interest academic ? If you are thinking about buying it for your own use, I would suggest that you could do better in many ways. For instance, in my opinion...
