    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    Thanks. I'll take the head off and check. I'll replace the value and rocker, check the pedestal.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    They look perfect, no odd wear a pattern. #10 is the only one that has wear and makes the tapping noise.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    I'll check it out. The rocker looks like it has been wearing like that since it was built? Very uneven and paint is still on the rocker. The end of the valve stem looks rough / wear.

    New Gen III Owner

    Congrats. Repair the exhaust. Also, consider replacing the power steering pump lines and oil cooler lines. The quick disconnects will leak. Many threads on the parts and how to do.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    Gen 3 2005 Mamba. Plug wires shorted to exhaust manifold. Heard tapping noise on #10 cylinder valves. I see irregular wear on the valve stem and the rocker. See pictures. Is this a bent valve? Damaged valve guide? Or other issue? Thanks I appreciate your responses.

    Odometer Lighting

    Double check the LED I circled in the attached photo. I found those LED contacts are a little finicky. Hope that helps.

    Door Mirrors

    My 2005 SRT-10 (USA) side mirrors fold in. Look very carefully, before pushing. Added picture, hope it helps. Good luck.

    DIY crash repair of my '10 Viper

    Truly masterful work. Congrats, you're an inspiration. Your workspace looked a little tight, must have been an issue at times. Anyway, great work, saved another Viper.

    Reality check....

    Great post. I've owned my 2005 SRT-10 Mamba convertible (Matilda) for 5 years. I never worry about gas mileage, it is not good 10 to 14 MPG and I don't care. It's a sports car. Matilda is extremely reliable and when I've had any issues I use the well written shop manuals and solve the problem...

    Mamba red

    I think the color is called Imperial Red (Chrysler) or Cardinal Red. Under the steering wheel, remove the panel and there's a couple labels with codes. One of the labels reads Imperial Red and probably has the paint code there. If you figure it out let me know for future reference.

    No Crank No Start

    Not sure if you've solved this yet. When you checked the Starter Relay, did you test it charged and uncharged? Also, does the car start when you remove the starter relay and attach a remote start button to 87a in the PDC (Starter relay terminal) and a ground? See my post "2005 won't start after...

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 3

    Good lessons learned. Be patient, read your manuals carefully, trace continuity and voltage wire by wire and connector by connector, and be methodical. You'll find the electrical problem. These Vipers are super well designed and easy to fix, if you don't rush.

    OK FIXED sorry it took so long to update. It was a short with the fuel gauge. Simple fix.

    2005 won't start. Lots of testing can't find problem

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Previous owner removed TPS sensors from wheels. So, I went into dash to disable TPMS module to see if the Low Tire warning message could be removed. (it could not) I reassembled everything and when I try to start the car...ignition on, fuel pump on, gauges power up, push...

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 3

    Ok. I give it all a try tonight. Thanks, I'll let you know what happens. I was also thinking running wires and bypass one device at a time.

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 3

    An update: Still not starting from start button Bought a new battery to replace the 6/2017 battery, although it was showing 12.6 volts. Voltage at Start Button connector (yellow wire) is 13.8 volts, is that indicating something??? Fuel light is still lit and displaying below empty although the...

    Congrats on finding the problem. Great people on this forum.

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 2

    The battery is old - 2017, (5 year warranty) I checked with my meter and it's 12.6 volts. I could swap because we know they are pretty good about failing when they approach the warranty date. :)

    2005 Dodge Viper SRT-10 Not starting after going into dash Part 2

    I agree with you. It would be bad to get low or out of fuel and not start or try to start. No close by Gen 3s. I can start diagnosing the BCM. Thanks for the reply.

    Gen 3 Interior Top of Door Trim Failure

    I'm interested. Can you describe how it is affixed again? Double back tape and a rail? Maybe a picture. Thanks in advance.
