    Choice: bucking or partial throttle?

    I have new plugs and plug wires, and have checked the connectors to insure snug fits. I do seem to have a slight miss in the GTS when driving at a steady speed, but I suspect this is unrelated to the bucking at slow speeds. My Gen. I, '94 RT/10 could be adjusted to achieve full throttle and no...

    Choice: bucking or partial throttle?

    I have a '96 GTS, and have problems getting the throttle linkage adjusted to give me Both full throttle (left AND right) and smooth performance. I cannot have both, it seems. If I adjust the linkage for full bore on both sides, it bucks badly. I can eliminate the bucking by backing off on the...

    Redline in 4th at 140 mph means what rearend ratio?

    My '96 GTS sputtered at redline at approximately 140 mph, which seems pretty slow for 4th gear redline, so I wonder if anyone can tell me whether it probably has the stock rearend or a lower (numerically higher) ratio? I have stock wheels and tires. Thanks.

    Driver's door lock won't unlock after battery change

    Driver\'s door lock won\'t unlock after battery change I changed my battery and now the driver's door sometimes unlocks and sometimes doesn't. I've tried holding down one button for 15 seconds, and both buttons for 15 seconds, but I still have to use the emergency release, even if I only drive...

    Battery

    I tried the Optima 73 35 just 2 weeks ago, but it would NOT fit. The useless top posts hit the frame, and you CANNOT cut them off without ruining the battery. Optima needs to make a battery without the top posts, but right now they do not.

    Doors won't unlock following battery replacement

    Doors won\'t unlock following battery replacement I replaced my battery (by the way, the Ultima wouldn't work, so I had to use the Mopar Exide replacement) and now the doors sometimes unlock at the end of my trip, and sometimes they won't. It has been several days and a dozen trips, but the...

    How to adjust Gen II throttle cable?

    The throttle shaft screw was the problem. I backed it off just a wee bit and this took out the bucking! I have WOT on driver's side, but only 98% on the passenger side throttle body. Is there any way to get them both adjusted to WOT with the left opening before the right? Will the feeler...

    How to adjust Gen II throttle cable?

    Yes, the flywheel is stock. I have K&N's, Roe VE-1, and no cats. The car ran fine for a year, but has recently been harder to drive without bucking. Anyone have the procedure to adjust the cable? There is a screw in the linkage between the two TB's. How is the adjustment accomplished? Thanks.

    How to adjust Gen II throttle cable?

    My '96 GTS was bucking, so I took it in the Vipertech at a local Dodge dealer. He replaced the tps (bad, fluctuating), Map sensor and a couple of O2 sensors. It is better, but still is not smooth in operation. Some of your responses to my post a couple of weeks ago suggested the throttle...

    "96 GTS Bucking!

    \"96 GTS Bucking! I've had my GTS about a year. It's mostly stock, with smooth tubes, K&N's, and Sean Roe VE-1 computer regulator. Even when I set the VE-1 at 0 on both settings (factory computer settings), the car bucks at partial throttle at slow speeds. I have cleaned the injectors, and...

    Do stock '96 GTS valves need maintenance?

    Do stock \'96 GTS valves need maintenance? I have about 24,000 miles on my '96 GTS. Do I need to have the valves adjusted or inspected? They seem to be a little louder than other Gen.II engines I've listened to. I have done a little roadcoursing, but not more than three weekends worth. Thanks.

    Extended Warranty Pays off

    Are the radiator fan, PCV valve harness, etc TSB's for the '96 GTS? If so, will my Chrysler extended warranty on my '96 GTS cover these upgrades without my having any apparent problems with them? Thanks!

    Viper daily drivers

    I have been using my '96 GTS as a daily driver since I bought it last April. If weather is really nasty, however, I will take my Dakota Pickup. I had an RT 1st gen., but it wasn't as convenient due to the sliding after market windows, etc. The GTS is the better choice for a daily driver, but...

    A Few Viper Questions!

    Big, if I can call you by your first name, I believe the '96 RT was a "generation I", while the GTS for '96 was a Gen. II. The Gen. II is the improved model. So, if you sat in a '96 RT, give yourself a look at a '96 GTS. Better yet, TEST drive a Gen.II before you decide. I've had both, and...

    12.35 e.t. and 123.6mph; isn't this e.t. a little slow?

    12.35 e.t. and 123.6mph; isn\'t this e.t. a little slow? I have a '96 GTS and with this mph, I wonder why my e.t. isn't quicker. I have street tires, but am using some modes: K&N's, Borla's without cats, Roe computer, smooth tubes and 3" pipes at the mufflers (stock tailpipes with Edelbrock...

    Valve adjustment?

    My GTS has 23k miles on it, and the valves seem to be noisier than most Vipers. Someone in VCA suggested I need a valve adjustment. If so, I'd prefer to have a Viper tech do it. What is the approximate cost of having a Viper tech do the job? What effect does such an adjustment ordinarily...

    VMax: good or bad?

    I saw the infomercial, claiming better gas mileage and more enginde longevity, but I wonder if the additive doesn't gain the better gas mileage through reducing the viscosity of the oil, and hence reducing friction at the expense of engine protection? VMax claims BOTH, but I find this hard to...

    Cat. Converter Removal. How LOUD?

    I have removed cats, resonators and mufflers, and have installed 3" pipes from flex connector to the rear turnin at the back wheel, installing Borla's with 3" in and out, and with glasspack bullet mufflers at the rear where the original muffler resided. The sound is an awesome, deep throated...

    Do any of you use your car as a daily driver?

    After 14 months of driving a Viper daily in Louisiana, I don't see much difference in driving this car daily as compared with a Vette or other sports car. Not to say that there isn't much difference in the CARS, but there isn't much difference in DRIVING a Viper as a daily CAR. Don't believe...
