    Personalized Plates

    I'm thinking of D500VPR. The oldtimers like me remember when the biggest engines offered by Dodge in the 50's and 60's were D500's: 2 four barrells, hemi's, ram-inducted, etc. You too young to wax nostalgic, bra?

    Car pops and alot, running rich

    How can I obtain a DC reflash from Dan Cragin or someone? Is this a computer unit, or a chip, or is it a factory available part to make the air/fuel ratio correct? How does this compare with a VEC2? Which is better?

    Reverse shift problem

    Thanks, Robbie. I'll try disconnecting since I don't have the scan tool.

    Reverse shift problem

    Thanks for the reply. No mods in my ownership, but I suspect the reverse lockout solenoid might be unplugged, gone bad or a fuse may be out. I'll take it to a Viper Tech when time permits. Thanks again.

    Reverse shift problem

    Less than a week after buying my used '05 SRT10 convert the trans. has coded on the 1-3 shift, and is also VERY hard to shift into reverse; it takes both hands to put it into reverse, though all forward gears continue to shift easily. The car started doing this yesterday, sending the engine...

    Green filters

    Where can I find these for an SRT10 Viper, 2005 version? Do they fit in the stock airbox without mods? Thanks.

    1-3 shift fault

    Fan was not running; engine was. I can feel the power steering tugging as I grip the steering wheel sitting in the garage. I can't even find a Viper tech within 60 miles of home. It seems the changes from gen I, to gen II, to gen III have caused most dealerships to give up on selling and...

    1-3 shift fault

    I just bought a used '05 SRT/10 convert with less than 11,000 miles on it, trading my ole reliable '96 GTS to Ringgold Dodge, but the engine light on the SRT came on (constant, not flashing). A non-Viper dodge dealer scanned it to tell me the first-third shift had coded. Whew! A car new to me...

    supercharger for daily use?

    I drive my '96 GTS at least 4 days per week (always unless it's raining or I need to take the pickup)in Southeast Louisiana, and I wonder how a s/c would hold up under daily use. I now have 40,000 miles on my car, and would not like to mess up its dependable nature, though I'd like the extra...

    Poor Man's Exhaust System

    Re: Poor Man\'s Exhaust System Yes, I did the same thing for my "96 GTS, buying the stainless steel 3" tubing from J.C. Whitney, including the prebent "L's". I used Roe cats with Borla mufflers I got from Summit. This combination cost less than $700 and greatly inhanced the power and the...

    The VCA needs your feedback

    That reminds me, I did purchase a used '66 Hemi Charger in 1984. It was a wonderful car with torque like a Viper, but not nearly as nimble.

    The VCA needs your feedback

    My first Dodge was a 1948 sedan;my dad next bought a 1954 Plymouth; then a '58 Plymouth Belvedere AND a '58 Dodge Custom Royal sedan with a healthy 350 with 4bl and dual exhausts (thus the commencement of my addiction to dragracing); then a '61 Dodge, a '65 Newyorker; MY personal first was a new...

    Southeast RENDEZVOUS....WOW

    This was my second zone rendezvous this year, and they were both outstanding. I was fortunate to meet Pete, Gene, Tom and 1Tony1, Craig, as well as others who know how to drive these thangs. On my first time at Road Atlanta I drove most of the time at 90%, but sometimes went allout. I was...

    SE Rendezvous

    The SE rendezvous WAS a great event, followed by a lapping day at Road Atlanta for those of us lucky enough to get signed up! I took my 25 yr old daughter to her first-ever Viper event and put her into my GTS and Dodge's Viper SRT 10, as well as the SRT4. She had a blast and her 3rd autocross...

    VEC 1 Owners Setting & Mods

    I have a strong '96 GTS with 3" hiflo Roe cats, Borla's and 3" exhaust to the rear wheels, plus K & N's and smooth tubes. I have my VEC-1 set at +2 and -18 in Louisiana, less than 100ft above sealevel. My car runs 120-123 mph in the quarter. These settings give me the smoothest operation on...

    Kumho Ecsta's for everyday use?

    Kumho Ecsta\'s for everyday use? I know this question has been asked, but only partially answered. These tires are good at the tracks, good in rain, and have a short life expectancy. But, I have a gravel driveway and use my GTS nearly every day, unless I know it will be raining. Sometimes...

    Kumho Ecsta's for everyday use?

    Re: Kumho Ecsta\'s for everyday use? I have read the old threads by searching this site. Some say you can use Pilots on the front axle with Kumho's on the rear. What do you think? Are the cold weather characteristics of the Kumho's so much worse than old, hard Pilots that they would be...

    Kumho Ecsta's for everyday use?

    Re: Kumho Ecsta\'s for everyday use? I have 4 hard, worn Pilots which spin in 1st and 2nd. It has even wheel hopped a little in second, and it squeals the tires in 3rd. It is has a lot of h.p., as evidenced by the 120mph terminal speed. I have tried everything I know to try, including...

    Engine keeps dying after cranking

    I have found that the wire leading into the driver's door is broken, so the primary door handle on the inside will not open the door; nor will the outside button work. I have to use the emergency latch on the top of the inside of the door to open and close that door. Thanks.

    Engine keeps dying after cranking

    My '96 GTS will not keep running after it cranks. It has about 1/4th tank of gas. I don't think it's bad gas or a low fuel level. I can hear the fuel pump running prior to and during ignition, but though it does crank, it stops running within a couple of seconds. It seems like it is not...

    I need some Viper blue paint - any ideas?

    Try Wally Zahn Tower Paint. They advertise in Hemmings Motor News and have very accurate paint for all years, even old cars.

    Exhuast upgrade

    If you want to SAVE money and do a great job, and have a good welder available, you might try what I did for my '94 RT/10. I ordered from J.C. Whitney 8 feet of 3" stainless steel pipe, plus 4 mandrel bent L's and from Summit Racing two Borla mufflers (email me for the part numbers, as I don't...

    Borla Exhaust On A GTS

    I have Borla's on my GTS and like them fine, even with hi-flo cats, 3" exhausts and fiberglass bulletts instead of the factory muffler at the rear. It is louder, but not too loud for me. You need to hear it installed on a car, however. I do get a little crackling and popping when letting off...
