    Coming back to Viper in 2008 after being gone for 8 years.

    Hey Brad, Welcome back!! It's great to hear from you again. I remember that 10th anniversary well, and looking forward to participating again with you in VCA events.

    How do you reset the key fob on an 02.

    Re-programming a key fob can be done by a Viper Tech with a DRB for about $75.00. If you take it to the dealer, make sure you take both/all fobs, as they will all need to be reprogrammed, even the one(s) that already work. You can also do it yourself, and there used to be directions in the "How...

    Borla vs Corsa

    It Depends on whether you have the GTS or RT/10. If you have a GTS, I would stay with Corsa. I have B&B on the RT/10, and prefer that sound (deeper) to the sound of the Corsa on the FE. But when I had the B&B on the FE, the drone was borderline unbearable at certain RPM ranges. I moved the...

    How to tell if stripes are from factory or after market

    The easiest way is call your local Dodge Dealer, give them the VIN, and get the paint code. If there are two paint codes in their computer, stripe is factory, and if there is only one paint code, stripe is aftermarket.

    Question on trailering a GTS

    Question on trailering a GTS

    As long as the fender on the trailer is no higher than 11 inches from the bed, you should have no problem opening the door to get out. For trailering, I use 4 10,000 pound ratchet straps with r hooks connecting to the oval slots in the frame. In the front they go straight from the frame to the...

    My New 2002 Fe Is 1 Hour Away

    I remember the thread he posted where he decided to sell the car, then changed his mind, and decided to keep it. I guess he decided to sell after all. His loss is your gain, and welcome to the "FE" club!

    Has anyone used a 4 post lift rolling jack on their Viper

    Say more ... Where do you put the jack when the car is up on the lift? Details please, and pics would be great. I have the Direct Lift from Greg Smith, and I've also been looking for a cost effective solution. I looked at the 4 post rolling jack, and just determined that it wasn't worth it...

    Does anyone know of this color on the viper?

    This is aftermarket. Your Gen1 was produced before the Prowler was introduced, so I think the seller was providing incorrect information.

    Does anyone know this snake?

    I know the car - It belonged to the "J" of BJ Motors. Yes, it's been tracked, but a real rare car, and it has been well cared for. If you like the mods, and the price is right, I see no problem in going for it.

    Feel-good post

    That would be Andy Levitt, ex-pres of our region. He is no longer a Viper owner, now into BMW Mini's and Lotus Elise. I had the pleasure of spending some time with him last summer at the IRL race in Richmond. Hope he comes back to our side some day.
