    PIA removing PS pulley

    Just curious, were you able to use the puller with the PS pump mounted. I thought the cross brace would be in the way.

    Uneven Pad Wear

    Sounds like one of the caliper pistons may not be moving against the pad with the same pressure as the other. Are they stock calipers, and when was the last time you worked on them/rebuilt them?

    Buying an 03 Viper SRT-10 next week!!!

    I use Carfax, but realize it is but one tool you need to use to verify what the seller is telling you. For example, I recently had a "reported" accident in my truck and after a few months, checked it in Carfax, and what do I find? Not only isn't the accident there, but it doesn't even show the...

    So do GTS's get more attention than SRT's?

    What he said! GTS by a mile......:headbang:

    No noisy street pads!

    Had a terrible pad squealing and dust problem with the pads in the 01 ACR I recently purchased, and was pretty sure it was the track pads the original owner had installed with the Stoptech brake upgrade. Got with JonB and decided to swap out with the new (according to Jon) Stoptech Street...

    A Viper, treated much different than most. . . 56k be warned

    I'm all for driving my Viper routinely (1000+ miles in the last three weeks since I've owned it), but that road SUCKED! Sorry man, but that hurt a little to see....:D

    170 degree thermostat ?

    From my days on the Z06 and Cobra forums, and now here, I've read countless threads on this subject. I'm no expert, but it seems all your really doing is allowing the thermostat open earlier, and thereby causing the engine to take longer (how much longer?) to achieve full operating temp. I...

    Does anyone with a GTS which they went with an RT-10?

    Beautiful Cobra (but I'm partial). I think the B/W Cobras at the most classic, but I chose the R/W based on the price/availablitity at the time. You abviously had a bit more $$ into yours. Here's a few pics of mine.

    Does anyone with a GTS which they went with an RT-10?

    Shane, That is "small world" kind of strange. I had a red/white striped Mk 1.5, FI 302, 5spd Tremec, and loved the viceral nature of it, but when it came to long trips, the lack of a top, windows and usable trunk, a/c, etc., etc. left me wanted something a bit more "livable". I think that's...

    Does anyone with a GTS which they went with an RT-10?

    Shanedog, I was in the exact position a few months ago, and finally decided on a yellow 2001 GTS/ACR. I test drove both the Gen II's and Gen III's, and just couldn't get the body of the GTS's out of my head. I think the lines are as classic and exotic as any car out there. I sold a FFR...

    If you have to have a problem, this is the one to have!

    Thanks Jim. Got a PM from Eddie Martin and I'll call him tomorrow for a possible solution. Just bought new StopTech Street Performance pads from Jon, and he really seems like a great guy to work with too.

    If you have to have a problem, this is the one to have!

    The recline mechanism broke on my driver's side seat, so I'm looking for a new seat w/ working mechanism. I removed the seat from the car, removed the mechanism, couldn't fix the stupid thing (I think an internal pin must have sheared off), so I fabbed up a fixed position bar(manually...

    Newbe Trickel Charge Question

    I've always installed a Battery Tender (Deltran) on every vehicle I've owned that doesn't get used on a regular basis. Just installed a pigtail on my recently purchased GTS, and as was recommended, I hooked it up to the positive terminal under the hood by the power box, and to the negative...

    power steering fluid

    I'm using Redline now, but since I don't plan on tracking the car more than a few times a year, I'd be satisfied with any of the synthetics from the major manufacturers. More important that you maintain the system, and keep the levels up and the fluid clean.

    use of emergency door release on 01 rt10 ?

    My positive battery cable came loose after I had stopped for gas just after purchasing the car (the prior owner had just replaced the old battery, and failed to properly tighten the terminal). I closed the door to leave, windows rolled up, and no juice! The doors were locked, I was 600 miles...

    Looks and sounds like the ideal conditions for just what happened. Good thing there wasn't a tree right there...it would have been a different story for sure.....:omg: Keep the shiny side up :2tu:

    Are the diagnostic manuals worth getting?

    Wizard, Your right, I'll get on it asap. Thanks for the number as well (not that I haven't seen it about a hundred times in the last couple of months!)

    Are the diagnostic manuals worth getting?

    I recently purchased the Viper service manual for my 01 GTS, but I also noticed the Body, Chassis and Engine dianostic manuals being sold on eBay as well. Are these worth getting for your average home garage mechanic, or will the service manual suffice? :dunno: I'm good with most everything...

    Almost new owner!

    I feel your pain! :D I had a 2003 Anniversary Z06, but my GTS has 10X's the personality! It's a rush to drive something you just don't see very often, and the power is addictive. Best of luck.

    Damn....Got bit!

    Looks awesome, and as rare as they are on the mainland, I'm sure they get many more looks there! Is that a Pantera in the seller's garage? Another awesome car! Best of luck.
