    thermostat bleeder plug removal tool

    I also have this set but it don't work without removing the intake manifold, there is not enough clearance for the diameter of the socket. As you can see the oil galley tool has a adjustable 2.5" long bit and you need about 2" to be above the front intake manifold runner and have room for the...

    You really don't want cruise ...

    not to argue with you but a few things don't make sense ( to me at least) If the tires loose contact with the pavement, not only will the car not be able to accelarate due to this same lack of contact/traction between tires and pavement but as the wheels spin faster the speed sensor will inform...

    Considering buying a 2000 RT/10 Have questions

    better brakes or not you're dreaming if you think that you can drive a Viper to it's full potential on public roads. Most drivers can't even do it on a road course. It's true that the main problem with the brakes is the front right (passenger side) wheel locking up under hard braking which...

    How to clean fuel tank?

    I thought that it was the opposite with the RT having a removable fuel tank closeout panel and the GTS requiring to cut a big opening and instaling a service closeout panel afterward? But I also believe than on the RT you need to remove the tank to acess the fuel module where on the GTS there is...

    pushstart wiring diagram needed

    As an ex member, current Viper owner and long time poster ( about 9 years) , I can remember when the how-to were "public" and why the VCA decided to change this policy. This site will have lot less traffic and therefore advertising income, if it was for members only. Everyone that post on this...

    What are GTS-ACR Fog Light Covers?

    Tom; Thanks for the very interesting link. The airflow was exactly what i was expecting, the front of the viper is slightly V shaped and obviously,fluid taking the path of least resistance ,the air on both side of the grill opening has no choice than go left and right. BUT, the viper on the...

    What are GTS-ACR Fog Light Covers?

    I have heard that b4 but, due to the amount of bugs that i always find on the foglights, I'm not so sure about it. If I had air ducts going to the rotors instead of the foglights I imagine that the bugs would end up on the rotors. maybe I don't quite understand your comment about "at speed". Do...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    good thread, here are some technical info on calipers and the reason for multi pistons and different sizes bore/diameter Obviously the caliper piston job is to press the pad on the rotor and therefore create fiction that translate in heat and braking. So why do some calipers have 1, 2, 4 ,6 or...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    That's not normal, you need to find the problem before doing any brake upgrade or you could end up with the same issue. Check your brake power booster by doing the following: Run the engine for a few moments, then turn the key off. Once the engine dies, press the brake pedal a few times. You...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    Pedal feel is very subjective but before doing anything I would make sure that your brake system is up to specs. Change brake fluid, inspects rotor and pads for glazing ( going over both rotors and pads with some fine sandpaper will be a good idea). I also have a 00GTS and have no problem with...

    Using Stoptech Big brakes on a 2000 GTS

    no doubt that Tom upgrade of the rear stock calipers is the best "bang-for-buck" solution, it's only downside being the lack of bling factor. Obviously since the stock Gen2 can lock the front wheels, there is no need for bigger caliper/more clamping force in front. Once you understand how brakes...

    Heat/Overheat Problem

    The water temp gauge is far from being accurate On my 00GTS, it's off by as much than 15* and as mentioned, it's not linear. I thought that my car was running too hot until I connected a scanner to the OBD2 port and verified the temperature. Luc.00GTS
