    Drivetrain clunk and when to do something

    As most of you know I just had a new trans installed. I have put about 400 miles on it since I got it back, including a 250 mile round trip, and everything seems fine. I was driving the other day with the top up, which I seldom do, and I noticed noises I hadn't heard before. One was the...

    Winter time: How do you park your viper?

    X2 for Louisiana!!! As far as the battery tender, at what point should it be connected between driving? Two weeks idle? Two months??? My car will sit for a couple weeks sometimes before I drive it. I have never had an issue with getting in or starting it, but should I be hooking it up...

    Possible rear end issue?

    I was getting something similar and had the dealer tech look at it. He mentioned something about a snubber bolt being loose from the rear diff to the frame behind the passenger seat area. Said he torqued it and it went away. Maybe worth looking at... I still get the clunk when driving...

    Air pressure???

    I lowered the pressure to 30psi but the light comes on just about every time I drive it. The owners manual said it means the sensor is faulty if it beeps once and the lo tire warning comes on. I am going to increase to 32 to see if still does it.

    Steering issue

    I agree it could be with the linkage/mechanical components. My original explanation was just trying to describe what I was hearing. I will get it on a rack soon and check it out. I have found out it doesn't do it all the time. The day I found it it did it every time I turned the wheel...

    Door trim piece

    I had to glue the passenger side down a while back. The driver side was fine. I guess someone hung a shirt or something while getting in or out and ripped it off. I appreciate your reply, but if I bought a new panel wouldn't it make more sense to just cahnge out the panel insetead of robbing...

    Gen 3 III CLUTCH SUGGESTIONS PLEASE! My GIFT for helping - coolest V commercial ever!

    Re: Gen 3 III CLUTCH SUGGESTIONS PLEASE! My GIFT for helping - coolest V commercial e I just had a similar problem with my clutch. My trans blew 2nd and had to be replaced. While it was out I took advantage and upgraded to a SPEC Stage 2+ kit, new OEM hyd slave/TOB unit, and a Fidanza...

    Steering issue

    I noticed today that when I turn my tires all the way to the left and then start back to the right, about 1/4 way just before straight, there is a stumble and an audible sound. You can feel it in the steering wheel and hear the pump 'cavitate' a little. This is with the car sitting still but...

    Oil, water, and other maintenance questions

    Thanks! I have had the car since February and have put around 3000 miles on it. It has been in the shop for the last three months. With winter approaching I was trying to get a feel of what I need to do. Looks like pretty much everything. Thanks for feedback guys.

    Air pressure???

    Okay. That answers my question, thanks. But, I just checked the tires the other day after I got a low tire warning in the dash. The lowest was 34 and the highest was 40, so I topped them all off to 40 to see if the warning would go away. It did, and hasn't been back. If I lower the pressure...

    Oil, water, and other maintenance questions

    Maybe I should clarify on what I was asking. I do drive the car more than 1000 miles every 3 years. I was using those numbers as an extreme example to find the answer I needed. I guess what I was asking is do the fluids break down just sitting there and therefore need to be changed...

    Black chrome wheels

    That's what I love about this site! When you have one of those brain fart moments someone is always there to slap you back into the world of common sense!! Haha. Thank you! I actually thought about that on the drive home, but you beat me to it so I have to bow down and take the beating...

    Air pressure???

    Yeah, but isn't that for the run flats that came on it? Im asking what people are running on aftermarket tires.

    Oil, water, and other maintenance questions

    What is the general rule for performing maintenance when your car only sees a couple thousand miles a year? The maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is stated in a 'miles/time' frequency. So if you only put, let's say, 1000 miles on the car but you reach the 3 year mark, do you really...

    Door trim piece

    I am missing a plastic trim piece that goes along the top of my dirver's door panel. It's about 1" wide and the length of the top of the panel and sits just inside the rubber window gasket/wiper. It would be under your arm if you were driving with your arm on the top of the door with the...

    Black chrome wheels

    Does anyone have any pics of a Viper with black chrome wheels? I have severe curb rash on the stock '03 chrome wheels and may be looking to buy a different set. I like the black chrome on some vehicles, but with a black car I'm not sure how they would look. I do like the contrast the bright...

    Air pressure???

    What psi are you running for normal everyday type driving? I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. It says 50 psi max pressure(usually that means to seat the beads, I think) and I am running at 40psi. I don't drive it enough to tell if there is abnormal wear, but wanted to check what I should...

    What do you think of this short throw shift for 2006?

    For clarity, is MGW and IPSCO one and the same, or anyway connected? Sorry for the ignorance...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Very logical and fair question...you even have me asking myself the same thing. You're right, I don't plan on racing the car. I don't knock those that do at all, but I look at this car as something only a few of us are lucky to have. Therefore, I choose not to risk early mechanical failure by...

    What do you think of this short throw shift for 2006?

    Can't speak for the Hurst, but I just installed the B&M short throw and First Strike knob in mine. Love it!! If the Hurst is anywhere near comparable to the B&M then you will be happy. The First Strike feels good, but I think it would have been better with the rubberized coating instead of...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Its baaaackk!!! Picked it up this evening. Its been 10 weeks since it went out but it is back in my shop as we speak. Drove it home and it felt great but I have to say I was on eggshells the whole time expecting something to go wrong. But it didn't. Now I just have to finish up with Dodge...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Good point... I forgot to mention that when all this happened all I could think was "Oh great, now they gonna try to say the MC caused the trans to fail" and try to make me pay for the repair. The tech and I actually talked about it and since it drove good when he test drove it and went out...

    Blew 2nd gear...need advice

    Update.... I thought I had my car back Saturday, but my luck doesn't work that way as ya'll know by now. I was called Friday that the car was ready. The transmission came in and was installed with my new flywhell, clutch, etc. The tech test drove the car Friday for a total of 3 miles...
