    What's a Good Price? 2014 w/17,000+ miles

    I'd really appreciate some help determining a good purchase price for this 2014 GTS. It's got a few more miles on it than I'd like but I'm still interested. https://www.kearnsmotorcar.com/shop/vehicle/a2490-dodge-viper Thanks very much!

    WANTED: Looking for a Gen V to make my own!

    Firstly, I can't seem to access classifieds so I apologize for posting here. If it's inappropriate I'll happily take down the post. I'm looking to purchase a Gen V Viper GTS with Laguna Leather interior (or similarly equipped GTC). What I'd like: Hoping to spend no more than $80-85K My...

    Door Hinge Cover Screw/Bolt Identification and Supply

    I'm looking for the small black hex head screw with free-floating washer that holds the Gen II door hinge cover to the car. The head fits well in a 5/16" socket and also quite well in an 8 mm socket, so I don't know if it's metric or SAE. The threaded length is about 1" and it's got a tapered...

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    Good thinking. But I'm using the correct size of wiper blades.

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    I don't intend to use a passenger side motor on the driver's side. I merely connected one there to gauge its behavior and that of the other passenger side motor without the factory driver's side motor in the circuit, in an effort to rule out fault lying with the factory driver's side motor. I...

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    Good question, and I addressed that yesterday with another test. I did roughly what you suggested, using both the old and new passenger side motors in place of the driver's side motor. And regardless of the setup, the motor on the passenger side still stuttered at, apparently, the same spots as...

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    UPDATE: After service manual testing procedures (as outlined above), I concluded (apparently falsely) that the passenger side motor needed replacement. I purchased a new passenger side wiper motor and installed it. Sadly, I'm still getting interference between the wiper arms (I have adjusted...

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    UPDATE: Over the weekend I disassembled the wiper system again and conducted the tests outlined in the service manual to evaluate the motors and the switch, all independently. I did not have and still do not have any suspicion that the wiring is at fault, and as that testing procedure involved...

    Gen II OEM Wheel Finishes

    I hadn't heard that. Interesting.

    Gen II OEM Wheel Finishes

    Looks definitively like the '96 and '97 wheels would never had had a Durabright finish, according to info on that thread. I'm guessing, then, that '96 and '97 GTS wheels were just polished and cleared. I read a while back, where I learned about the casting vs forging, that the '97 wheels polish...

    Gen II OEM Wheel Finishes

    Does anyone know what factory finishes the '96 and '97 GTS wheels came with? I know that the '96 are two-piece cast and welded and the '97 are of identical design but single piece forged. But that's all I remember. I can't readily find the information, thanks for the help!

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    Thanks, Avi I have not had the chance to check connections yet, but I did run two back-to-back tests with the windshield wet (as requested). Those videos are below.

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    I followed that exactly, I have the same manual. Parked blades are properly spaced from the cowl and from each other. And the torque is to spec. Anything else you see?

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    Fair, and I shall. But those are brand new blades, and the very same happens in the wet

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    I have read through this forum, other online resources, and the vehicle's service manual...only to be completely unsure of how to proceed and which part(s) to replace. I have embedded a link below of a video of my particular issue as it unfolds. Any assistance would be appreciated, even if it...

    P0171 Code After Belanger Full-Exhaust Install (w/high flow metallic substrate cats)

    Re: P0171 Code After Belanger Full-Exhaust Install (w/high flow metallic substrate ca Yeah I thought about grabbing some O2 isolators if I was going to be having issues with catalytic converter codes, but that's not what I'm seeing, this doesn't even seem to be a downstream issue. What were you...

    P0171 Code After Belanger Full-Exhaust Install (w/high flow metallic substrate cats)

    1996 GTS 9,500mi I completed the installation of the full exhaust system from Belanger Headers today; long tube headers, high flow cats (metallic substrate), and cat back. Ran the car up and down the street after the install a few times and on one of the runs, the P0171 (Lean Bank 1) code was...

    Interior Door Lock/Unlock Switch Light Stays On

    Thank you, Steve. It was a pleasure speaking with you. I was able to finally determine that the switch detecting hood closure wasn't registering a closed hood. I corrected that issue and the lock light now goes off. And my battery drain issue seems to be a thing of the past!

    Interior Door Lock/Unlock Switch Light Stays On

    I don't recognize the EEM abbreviation but it sounds like expensive electronics :( Oh boy So the battery is brand new, replaced last fall. I did notice a slight drain while parked for extended periods of time. So there's a draw somewhere. I tried to follow the diagnostic steps in the service...

    Unfortunately Tator is a good 330 miles from me, but if I needed something major, I'd consider the trip, it looks awesome! Z's is about 30 miles so that's a better fit. I've got a '96 GTS, nothing major going on but I want to build a good relationship with a mechanic I can trust, most...

    Interior Door Lock/Unlock Switch Light Stays On

    Well, the title of the post sums it up. The little amber light on the interior door lock/unlock switch stays on while the car is parked, all the time. I'm sure this isn't a feature, but I can't seem to find any information on it. Any tips, explanations, or suggestions would be appreciated...
