I don't know if 14K-20K miles for a 97 should be considered a high miler. (That's only 3K-4K miles a year) I guess it depends on how you plan to use it. (I don't think it would be prudent to purchase a 97 with 3K miles and use it as a daily driver, nor would I buy one with 50K miles and store...
Forgive me here, but I guess I am confused. How does a shaft mounted roller rocker "walk" ? I can uderstand how a stud mounted (Crower's Viper type) roller rocker might walk off the valve due to the way it self centers itself on the valve stem. but the Arrow roller rocker is shaft mounted...
True.... Auto Specialties does not manufacture a 50% under drive pulley, but they do offer a 42% under drive pulley (P/N 994000 retailing at $83.99) for the same Dodge truck application as the 25% under drive pulley mentioned above.
The Auto Specialties pulleys are black nitrided for...
Is there any one out there planning on purchasing a set of Arrow's roller rockers ? I was just thinking, (which usually costs me) if there are 4 others out there that are considering a purchase of these rockers, a group buy would save us $120.00 per set.
I will be ordering the pulley from Summit very soon. (I have a few more items on my Summit "wish list" I need to order also) I don't think I'll be doing a before/after dyno pull, but I can let you know how the charging, cooling and power steering systems respond. (I don't think there will be a...
Summit Racing sells an Auto Specialties 25% under drive pulley (Part Number 504500) for $50.69. It is advertised for the Dodge Truck, but I called Auto Specialties and they said it fits perfectly. You will have to buy a shorter belt which retails for less than $20 bucks. The Kelly...
I thought the Dana 44 in the Viper was actually a super 44 such as the Corvettes and new Jeep Cherokees use.
I am thinking Jon B meant that there are cheap (read low quality) gear sets out there (from questionable manufacturers) that are not equal to the factory/ Dana/Spicer gear set.
1. Since I live in Cali, it is important that it has an Cali EO number.
2. Not interested in traction control, especially since it will tack on almost another grand. (Keep it below the original projected $7K)
3. Doesn't matter
4. 97 GTS
Question 1: If I were to buy a spare rear diff to "bolt" into my 97, can I buy any year rear diff? Or, are there different diffs for different year Vipers?
Question 2: Anyone out there have a complete rear diff with anything other than 3.07 gears installed that they want to part with...
Hey Shey
Think about it this way, If you subscribe to the fact (and I do believe in what you say here) "because once that flywheel is spinning, it's momentum (ability to sustain speed) is greater than the AL flywheel and would require less effort to sustain the rotation." then wouldn't it be...
Drive Train Specialists will sell the entire diff for $1575.00 with 354's installed. (talk to Eric) I would think it's the way to go. Then you can swap your old gears back in anytime you desired with little or no cost.
Airbornerx7: You are correct in your belief, that it will make a difference in RWHP. (not engine HP) (Does anyone disagree that by removing weight from the flywheel makes more power available to the rear wheels to accelerate the dyno jet drum faster?)
Jason: Rotating weight is much more...
"2500 bucks for a reduction of 7 lbs of unsprung weight?
7 lbs of unsprung weight will drop your lap time 2 seconds?"
I'm thinkin I might be better off spending 1700 to 2000 for a set of Monocoque lightweight wheels (17" diameter wheels have a larger PMOI than 4-5 inch diameter half...
Greg you go and drop your car off and give the guy a tip, I don't, so I get sh*** service. That pisses me off
Darren, Where did you get, I don't tip, so I get sh*** service? What I said was "Do you want him to work on your Viper as though it was "just another customer's" vehicle OR as a...
Basically, I believe tipping comes down to personal preference and no one should deride another about his or her choice.
My reasoning for tipping is this; there are different approaches a mechanic may use to repair a vehicle. Remember this, it's your Viper, not his. It's his "job" to repair...
I never tipped any of the mechanics that worked on my cars until I owned a Viper and had a Viper tech work on it. The customer service I received was outstanding. The Viper tech informed me about the TSB's that affected my Viper and performed the ones that were needed. Heck, the service...
Re: \'97 GTS for cheap!
The terms of sale remarks is a standard blurb that he put in all of his auctions. (I think he just didn't realize the Viper auction didn't have a reserve.)
But, I am curious why he didn't list the VIN.
**** good price!
