    Ripped Off

    Wasn't Mopar Performance selling Viper engines complete from oil pan to intakes for the Gen II cars? Check that out as well, as I think their pricing was about the same as what you are talking about for a rebuild of your existing engine, but this is a brand new crate motor. The only thing that...

    Driver seat wear spot outboard ot bolster...seatbelt wear?

    Chad, Can you take the seat apart without much difficulty? I looked at it, and it looks like it might be quite a project, any secrets to taking the top part of the seat apart? I know the bottom is easy to remove, wish the top part was as easy.

    Driver seat wear spot outboard ot bolster...seatbelt wear?

    I took the passenger seat and switched it over to the driver's side to help with the problem, but now I have two seats with wear on the left side of the bolster. I guess you can go to an upholstry shop and have the vinyl replaced with leather, which should help the problem. I don't know how...

    Almost T-boned

    We had a similar experience last Saturday night. My wife and I went out for a cruise to enjoy the cool, ideal top down roadster evening weather now starting in Ocala, and we were just about two miles or so from returning home. We stopped at a red light, had the left turn signal on, and the...

    Shared parts between Vipers and other brands.

    Aren't the mirrors borrowed from a Dodge Stealth? The coil packs are from a four cylinder and a 6 cylinder Dodge or Chrysler as far as I know, but don't ask me which model or which year of Chrysler cars they are from. They (Dodge) stole parts from lots of cars to put the Viper into production...

    VOI 9 pics

    Notice the truck line that dropped off all the Vipers! Reliable, and that is just what they are! It will be interesting to hear from those who had their cars shipped by truck as to how the truck lines performed. Reliable is hard to beat when it comes to shipping Vipers, that is based on our...

    Gen 1 side windows

    I find that it helps to give the windows a good tap by hand, from the front end of the window, after they sort of snap in and down, it seems to help them lock them into place. Also, the Viper Mania windows do mention in their instructions that you can file down the notch a bit on the bayonet to...

    Oil Change

    I just paid $70.20 for an oil change and filter at All Tune & Lube in Ocala, FL for Mobil 1 so I guess I got a good deal and they did the oil change. When I lived in Michigan, the Dodge dealer did not stock Mobil 1 so I bought it from Wal Mart and brought it to the dealer (about $50.00)...

    WOODWARD DREAM CRUISE Status Report

    If there is one thing I miss about not living in Michigan anymore, it is the car shows all over the state, and especially the Woodward Ave Cruise. Unless you have been there and seen that, it is hard to imagine what it is really like. There is nothing like it anywhere else in the country, and...

    Spark plugs for RT/10?

    I would stick with what is recommended in the owner's manual or how it came from the factory. I understand that in many cases, changing the plug to another style or even brand, will cause changes to the sensors on the engine and may cause some strange things to happen.

    SNAKE IN THE GRASS - CAUTION

    Sorry to get into this thread so late, but as a former member of MCVO, I wanted to say you guys finally made it to the Red Barns! Isn't it a great place for a car show? There is so much to see and do there, I met Sharon there last year and really miss this show, having moved to Ocala Florida...

    Need recommendation on a reputable company transport my new car

    Well guys, I would like to recommend Reliable, if they are anywhere nearby. They are the factory transport company for Vipers and the new Ford GT's, and we had our 94 Viper shipped from Michigan to Orlando, FL, and they did a great job at what I thought was a very reasonable price. That's my...

    Where to get service for our 94 RT/10

    Well it never fails. We moved from a small town in West Michigan to Ocala, FL and now I have no Dodge dealer who services Vipers within 75 miles or better, or so they tell me. When we lived in Hastings, MI, I could go to Wayland Chrysler about 12 miles away, and they had a tech there who could...

    Viper Transport

    Recently, we moved from Michigan to Florida, and we had the '94 Viper transported from MI to Florida by Relaible. They are the best! When we dropped it off at their Canton, MI facility, it was like leaving it at a friend's house or garage. They take care of the car like it was their own...

    Learn from my mistake-to my Viper friends

    Terry, I haven't visited this board in a while, but I could't agree with you more. Six years ago (age 55) I found out completely by accident that I had a 99% blockage and had a stent put in the next day. I have since gotten into physical fitness much more (about 3 times a week) and also went...

    VRL - Viper Days Finals Report from the Cones

    Congrats Henry and Janni! We had a chance to watch Henry race at Gingerman this past season, everybody in the tower cheered when he passed Sonny W in turn 1 near the end of the race, and how he still finished in 2nd place after spinning out, we knew that you guys were going to do well. By the...

    Leaking rack & pinion gear

    Just had the car into my local friendly Dodge dealer for its Mobil 1 oil change, and while up on the lift, the tech showed me where the rack & pinion is leaking power steering fluid from both sides of the unit. According to his information on the computer, these units are not avail from...

    New Battery, Erratic Gas Gauge

    Just changed the original battery in the '94 this past week, is this a record? I think 11 years plus is really getting your money's worth out of a battery. I have however, noticed that the gas gauge is acting very erratically and it goes from showing a full tank, down to about a 1/4 tank...

    The ride of my lifetime (so far) Thanks to Tom Shapiro!

    My wife and I went to Gingerman this past Sunday to watch the Viper Wars and hopefully get a ride around the track for a charitable donation. We got there just a hair too late for the charity ride part, but Tom Shapiro was track boss Sunday and he was taking care of the running of the different...

    Why do I need a wesite to post a "For Sale" ad?

    Why do I need a wesite to post a \"For Sale\" ad? I want to put the '94 up for sale, went to the Classified Ads, got my password, etc, but it won't let me place an add without a website address. Can somebody help me with this? I don't have a website address, at least I don't think I have one...

    Coming Soon...

    That sounds better! Thanks Jeff. I think a lot more owners would be inclined to use the new top if their current V Mania windows would fit or could be modified to fit at a reasonable cost.

    Coming Soon...

    Jeff, Is there any way that the current V Mania windows would fit this new top with an adaptor or something that would clip over the window? I hate to throw away 1K on the windows I have now, love em and they work so well with the ragtop.

    Purpose of the liquid in headlight

    No No No! All you guys are wrong, it's to check the oil level in the engine. If the left side tube is down 1 number, then you are short a quart of oil. You can also check to see if you need to change the oil by how dirty the fluid gets in the tube. ---------------- Seriously if you just...
