    Mamba wanted

    Guys, Jeff's International Viper Registry shows that 200 white Mambas and 200 black Mambas were produced in 2004. See this link: https://www.theviperregistry.com/GEN%20III/2004%20Viper%20Mamba%20Edition%20.php

    I was under the impression that they made 200 White Mambas along with 200 Black Mambas.

    Mamba wanted

    No, I don't...but I will keep my eyes/ears open. I have seen the Indiana Mamba thread, but I don't know location as I haven't followed ads.

    Oil Pressure

    Document the oil pressure with a mechanical gauge. Sensors go bad...change as necessary. Whether or not you change sensor...you could easily change oil and filter. If the filter you used was not the Viper specific filter for your car (presuming it is a Gen III...part number. 05037836AB...NEVER...

    Anyone know this '04 Mamba in Indiana?

    The crank damper bolt issue was real for potentially all 2004's. While on ANY Viper this bolt can loosen and cause crankshaft issues, this was a design issue that was eliminated in in 2005 by returning to the large diameter bolt that was torqued to 250 ft lbs instead of the rather punyv130 ft...

    Anybody wanna talk about my Viper?

    Congrats on your new Viper !! Get to know the Viper slowly. Are the tires dates old or new? Status of ALL fluids? Has the plastic P/S pulley been changed to billit aluminum...hopefully along with the pump mounting bracket? Has the timing chain cover gasket been changed? Do your door emergency...

    TPM Lite

    First off, your new "dodge" sensors may or may not be compatible with your rudimentary TPM system. I have seen correct sensors furnished by Dodge dealer that were so old, they were dead. The sensors for 2003 to 2006 and 2008 to 2010 Vipers are the same...and, need to be programmed to your Viper...

    KW suspension on ‘93 GEN 1?

    Guys, while I have no hands on experience with the suspension of 92, 93, or 94...there must be some differences among the GenI years judged by the parts catalog: 4643 1152 1992 w/Coil Spring 4709 0512 1993-95 w/Coil Spring 5012 650AA2 1993-95 (BUSHING...

    Gen 1 Overflow tank flushing/system bleeding

    By the way, has your Viper had the head gaskets replaced? If not, I would think that you would want to figure this into the plan.

    Gen 1 Overflow tank flushing/system bleeding

    The answer to your questions in order...yes, no, and unusually complex cooling system anatomy with 5 radiator hoses, 5 heater hoses, and thermostat at the rear of the engine. The good news is your year is slightly easier to manage than the 92, and early 93 models. Once you understand the...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Car needs PCM to run. Do you have the 1996 Blue/White Service Manual...or a 1997 Service Manual? If not, they can be found on various internet auction sites such as ebay. You NEED a service manual to guide you or your mechanic through a step by step analysis of the various systems involved with...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    But you said above "But the last 2 days I’ve worked on the car it just starts and runs forever." Maybe, we are failing to communicate on such terms as "running". To me, that means that the car starts normally and the engine performs normally. You just stated that "it just starts and runs...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Glad to hear it is running !! When you do the IOD test for abnormal current draw, check the voltage at the battery terminals. Be sure that the car has not been started or on a charger for at least 30 minutes before testing. I suggest this because I have seen brand new batteries fail shortly...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Good to know battery status. Have you checked for an abnormal current draw as mentioned above? You mentioned that the "fuel pump works". Does that mean it turns on, then turns off before you engage the starter? Is your fuel pressure 50+ psi? While the security system may play a roll, your...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Anders, I am sorry to hear of your troubles. While this may be a more complex issue, I have seen similar behavior in several Gen II's...which was battery related. In my experience, one cannot expect the same performance from any lead acid battery if the charge has been severely depleted of...

    04 Srt wont start

    Csharp83, take you time getting to know your fine new ride. While many of us have a certain fascination ( and occasional frustration) with some of the standard Viper quirks, don't let such things worry you or dampen your enthusiasm. In my opinion, these cars are a blast to own, drive, and...

    04 Srt wont start

    I suspect that you might have done a throttle relearn with the cycling of the gas pedal. The need to do this has been noted before with marginal battery performance. Enjoy your Viper !!

    04 Srt wont start

    Having battery on a tender does not tell you much...especially with what I presume is the battery that was in the car when you bought it. I would check the voltage in the system AFTER the tender/charger has been disconnected at least 1/2 hour. If voltage at that point 12.2, battery is 50% or...
