    Anyone have a Rad laying around?

    If I remember correctly it was around $650 + shipping and tax I did hang on to my stock unit and can have it re-cored at some point in the future by a radiator shop, once I find a good one around middle TN. You could opt for an Aluminum unit but I found them more expensive, and worried about...

    Wanted water pump 2000 Gen-2 Viper

    Looking at options right now, I really appreciate the offer. Not an immediate need right now as this is an old used pump I replaced. Nothing wrong with the one on the GTS right now.

    Wanted water pump 2000 Gen-2 Viper

    Someone mentioned the guts out of a Gen 1 pump can be used to rebuild Gen 2s. Can anyone confirm this? And how would one do this? Would be good to know going forward in the future as these may continue to be hard to get.

    Gen 2 dash removal?

    I have done this and I did not find it overly difficult. There is a small trick to removing the head light switch, as you have to stick something in the hole in the bottom of the knob and it will slide off. The other thing I remember is to unscrew the tilt lever from the steering column after...

    Every Gen Viper tested........

    I saw that, pretty interesting. The 0-60 times were pretty close, and none matched what was advertised. Funny He picked the Gen 2 as his fav.

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    I put one in my GTS shortly after getting it in 2018. It was very similar to the stock radiator that came out, has performed well with no issues. As far as fitment, It fit really well. Most of the complaints come from the inlet and outlet necks not being aligned properly to fit. While it is a...

    Gen 2 Transmission Noise

    Like others have said it could be syncros. Viper transmissions have been abnormally loud and I know there was a fluid change at some point to get rid of neutral rattle. Luckily, Some other cars (GTO, Firebird, Camero) shared the T56 in the Viper, so parts are still readily available. The...

    New Owner Journey

    You prob know this, but don't run on old tires. Get some new ones. First thing I did on mine when I got it, as tires were over 9 years old on mine. I've heard the original RTs are even worse. Everyone talks about how sketchy Vipers are, and a lot of that must be due to old tires, and people...

    1993 stereo head unit removal and install

    Yeah the link you posted was for the entire dash removal, which would be quite a bit involved. Removing the Radio only would be way less intrusive. Just carefully removing the bezel that surrounds the radio/HVAC should do the trick. It is just snapped in with clips. You might need to unplug the...

    1993 stereo head unit removal and install

    If its anything like a Gen2 it relative simple. You will simply remove the dash surround that is clipped in place around the radio and HVAC controls. This also includes around your shifter and ash tray. Be super careful about bending/prying to hard as it could be brittle, but with careful work...

    Headlight Lens

    I would use extreme caution, because headlights are one item that is extremely hard to find replacements for is something goes wrong. You don't want to regret the choice to take apart polish when leaving them alone is way less risky. Just my $.02

    *** Lockout

    This really was a surprise to me, I'm a fairly new owner and was members of both sites. I never knew there was such drama over there. Its hard for me to believe you grow Viper enthusiasm by locking out so many Viper owners.

    Best clutch brand?

    I went with a LUK in my 96, two years ago and it has worked like a charm. Was really inexpensive too.

    Installing a Hellcat Engine into a Dodge Viper

    Hope they don't destroy the original engine. Gen 2 engines are kind of hard to come by. interesting project, but I am already seeing where they are getting a lot of hate from comments. Majority of people aren't liking this swap.

    Alpine removal

    Could be the wire loom is kinked, preventing it from removing. Mine was just the 2 screws holding it in. According to my 98 Service manual, there is just the 2 screws holding it in.

    Viper Red Paint

    I bought a kit from Dr. Colorchip the PBE was a spot on match for me and it blends smoothly. https://drcolorchip.com/ I really like their system. I was able to fix a really big scratch to the bumper on the wife's car. Does a really good job with rock chips, which my cars have plenty of.
