    Help on pricing my 96 GTS, may sell it.

    Slowfrc, I don’t agree. Go to any car show and the Stangs outnumber the Vipers 10 fold. Allot more Stangs were built than the Viper. I can remember back to the Mustang craze in the 80’s when they were pulling Stangs out of the Junk yard to fix them up and sell, Literally. I also don’t agree with...

    Help on pricing my 96 GTS, may sell it.

    Hi Slither, I love your passion about the Viper. Mine is just as strong as yours and has been since I was a young lad and set my eyes on the first 92 I saw in a dealership. I have talked about nothing more than the Viper until I purchased one, just ask my wife and friends.. As for your theory...

    Help on pricing my 96 GTS, may sell it.

    I am not sure I agree 100% with that analogy…. Take for instance a 67 Shelby Mustang GT 500. That car falls under that analogy (less the burning and slower than the Viper) and look at what they are going for!!! Being the owner of 2 1966 mustangs, Nostalgia has something to do with it as well...

    Help on pricing my 96 GTS, may sell it.

    As a very recent buyer of a 96 B/W, the only reason he got close to what he wanted is because I wanted a 96 B/W and a 96 B/W only…. In my case it was supply in demand… In order for our cars to be worth more, there will have to be a line of people wanting to buy them.. It’s allot like houses… I...

    Fluids for 98 RT/10

    I own a 96 B/W and when I went to the dealer, I asked them what to use in my Tranny and they told me there chart stated Syntorq. I decided to go against there recommendation and I filled mine with ATF+4 instead. My tranny on the side says Dextron III David.

    Alternator Fuse?

    Hi Suerteviper, It is referred to as a “Fusible link” The Fusible link is between the Main Lug on the alternator and the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) Also, check the Battery Ground located at the left rear frame rail from the battery as this will cause charging issues as well... Hope this...

    Having charging issues...

    Make sure the alternator belt is nce and tight... If it is, I would replace the battery. Could have a shorted cell.....

    Having charging issues...

    Did you use a volt meter (DVM) or the Volt meter in the dash of the car?
  14. daveg

    Having charging issues...

    First thing I would do is get the car running and then under the hood, put a volt meter on the Positive and negative posts (drivers side). With the car running, you should get high 13 to 14 volts with it running. Also, throw the headlights on and make sure the alternator can still supply that...

    I'm gonna puke:(

    Thanks Fatboy, a 6 point 31mm it is. Another question, did you use the red loc tite on the threads when you re-assembled? I have the 1996 GTS guide from Chris Green and he suggests using the red loc tite... Thoughts?

    I'm gonna puke:(

    Ya, my 1 1/4 was a multi-point so that could be the reason. I did also try a 6 point 32 mm socket (used for the rear axle shafts on my 3000gt) but it felt just as sloppy. I could have probably used the multipoint but the anal retentive in me said to step back and do homework. Not sure if the 1...

    I'm gonna puke:(

    Does anybody know the size of this bolt? I have a 96 GTS and when I changed my oil yesterday I went to check it and all I had was an 11/4 socket but it was slightly to big (going to have to buy the correct socket). Thanks in advance.....

    OK, I am ready....

    I am definitely a roadster type guy but I figured when I want that, I will drive the Vette. Hmmmm ya got me thinking…. Why did you put doubt in my mind?.... One thing I cannot stand about the RT 10 (sorry guys) is the hardtop, think it looks goofy as all hell. I also think the plastic windows /...

    I know what you mean costanZo. I have been watching Vipers for a while now as far as price. I personally like the 96/96 B/W. BUT I understand convertibles…. On a late hot summer night, I LOVE to drive my Vette. Life doesn’t get any better than a convertible on a late hot summer night. But my...

    OK, I am ready....

    WOW costanZo, I appreciate the time you took for the response. I will keep all that in mind. Also, has anyone owned both an RT 10 and a GTS? What car did you personally like better and why? My Vette is already a convertible and that is why I am thinking GTS. Plus I would think the GTS would be...
