    Changing Tranny Fluid Question?

    A lot easier is to buy a univeral windshield washer pump ( about $10 at your local part store) and use it to transfer liquid. The pump will have 2 ports/nipples, 1 in and 1 out and 2 12V wires, 1 ground and 1 +. Just connect a piece of tubing on each port, put the in in the bottle and the out...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? "Was responding to Luc, who stated it as fact. He didn't mention he was referring to older Gen 1 Vipers in the original post. His obvious inference was to earlier Gen 2 Vipers, and his statement was bullshiit" If from what I wrote: "The truth is, that...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? "Please detail what it is about a 2000 Viper motor that generates more horsepower and torque than previous years, other than Randy's opinion. I would like to hear some actual facts that back up that statement." 92 to 95 Vipers HP 400 TQ 465 96 RT HP 415...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? "I dont really see others who are unbias agreeing with you guys" That's funny, almost all defending the 2000 have a 2000 and all attacking it have another year. Talk about being unbiased. Truth is, as owner we are all, to various degree, biased and, the...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? Jon: Beside being pretty rude to you fellow Viper owners that happen to have a 2000, your argument to classify the 2000 as the least desirable year is flawed right from the beginning since you only use as the basis for your argument,the non forged and non...

    Are 2000's really the fastest?

    Re: Are 2000\'s really the fastest? It's human nature to believe that our personal choice/opinion (as which Viper year) is the best/smartest. Yes, the 2000 has neither ABS nor forged pistons and will not be the best choice for someone planning to modify the engine or for a driver that have...

    a/c loss on acceleration

    What is the Vac canister supposed to do? Does the $5 "canister" AJT posted do the same thing? The 1 way valve ( the $5 canister) will indeed solve the lack of vaccum issue at WOT and consequently the vaccum operated door will not close and you will have air coming from the vents at WOT The...

    998 Recall

    Is there a time limit on this recall or will dodge be required to do the recall no matter the date? -------------------- The issue is not with the time frame, a recall is "good" forever, heck, the ford dealer was still willing to do one on my 69 Mustang, but the availabilty of parts/kits to do...

    Best way to clear a code?

    I don't know if you realize that MacManInfi has exactly the same model from Harborfreight, but without the Viper Tax ( $40 instead of $54) Luc 00GTS But the real solution is to buy the incredibly useful and cheap OBD2 reader/clearer...

    600hp CC?

    I see your question, but remember Dodge Racing will have to have their CC changes homlogated for the racing series that the CC is eligible for. Race cars are built for a series. No pro series, no serious race car. The World Challenge CC's have many restrictions on them at this point. Dry...

    rt10 and GTS have same exact rear brake/turn lights

    Yes .. I used a Euro GTS tail light in my RT/10 to pass UK import test when my viper came in from Sarasota Florida.... Baz: The euro cars have rear fog lights ( and consequently a different light switch). What did you have to do to make them work on a US specs car? Luc.00GTS

    Jack Question

    ....I would never trust a $100 jack Steve: A bunch of us have been using the $139 Harbor Freight jack for years on our race cars without a SINGLE problem. The jack is very well made and yes, it's made in China and it's why the price is so low but that do not mean that i's not a good quality...

    is there a big difference in non abs cars?

    Interesting debate, no doubt,as Cody said than ABS is/could be a safety factor, but that is missing the point, not having a Viper and staying in bed all day would be even safer. The real question, at least for me, is which car, ABS VS non-ABS , will I enjoy driving the most. On general terms...

    DC Performance dyno numbers....

    A thermostat do not control the maximum temperature but the minimum and 170* is way too cold for good engine health. What regulate the maximum temperature of a cooling system is the BTU's (British Thermal Unit) capacity of such system, putting a 150*, 170* or 210* rated thermostat is not going...

    RT vs ACR

    The ACR oil pan is exactly the same than the GTS/RT. I think that some of the confusion come from the facts that early ACR brochures were making references to a special, competition type oil pan,but that was never put into production. Luc 00GTS

    98 octane gas in France: Any benefit?

    Salut Eric: Tu ne peux pas comparer l'octane francais a celui des USA. There are 2 ways to grade gasoline, one is RON (Research Octane Number) and the other one is MON (Motor Octane Number) MON is usually 8 to 10 points lower than RON. In the USA the rating is (R+M)2 and in Europe...

    Fan diverter switch problems

    The unused nipple on the plug is the vent for the system. Your problem is with the mode door or more exactly with the 2 positions vaccum motor that control it. 1 position sent all the air to the AC vents and the other one to all the vents EXCEPT the AC vents. The vaccum line for it is the...

    Did I damage my motor?

    "Hi Jay. The question is, did the 10 Qt pan come on the GTS as well, or just the ACR as that page indicates. Some in this thread are arguing that it did, in which case it could be listed as a change for both models. " It's not arguing, all Vipers,starting in 2000 had the 10qts pan. Luc 00GTS
