    I have had enough with these battery/charging system issues

    Mine did the same thing and I traced it to the keyless entry module staying energized because of a hood switch. I've posted more than once here about what I did to remedy it, so feel free to search my posts from about a year ago or a little longer.

    Help on pricing my 96 GTS, may sell it.

    That car is extremely well-kept and let's face it: It's the first year and most desirable color. It will take a certain individual to lay down serious coin on it, but if that person exists, he will be at Barrett Jackson.

    Mobil 1 oil filter vs Mopar Viper spec

    Mad Max (or anyone else), could you open up an 090 Mopar Filter and place pics in this thread for comparison too? I've been running those due to availabilty, but I change oil religiously.

    Borla cat back any good?

    I have the Borla Cat-Back. Stock manifolds, no cats, and the "2-muffler" setup with only mufflers in the sides and straight pipes in the rear. Sounds pretty good to me. Here...have a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh18Oswbsrg :2tu:

    Largest wheel size for Gen 2 RT?

    Looks a little more "truck" style to me too... But to each his own.

    I'm gonna puke:(

    Even if it needs a crank... you shouldn't be out any more than a few $thousand, including labor. Might have to ship your car to another shop, but there are several who will take care of you. That $17k figure is probably an attempt at floating their service department for the month.

    Help with value of this car?

    Check to see if the frame recall, etc... has been done on it too. Looks like a nice car for a nice price. See if you can knock a couple $thousand off it and you'll be real happy!

    cup holder on a GTS

    I thought the Viper's cup holder was supposed to be blonde, about 5'6, and measure 36-24-36 ??

    Serpentine belt and power steering pulley.

    Replace the bracket the holds the power steering pump at the same time also. They are notorious for cracking/breaking and also leaving you stranded.

    slow battery drain , not so slow anymore :-(

    A steady enough current draw could indeed hurt batteries prematurely...and in some cases very quickly. A "tender" only bandaids the wound, although many will default that answer as your solution. It's not a complex system, but needs the test conducted as per Steve and myself above.

    NEW GEN 5 PICS!

    Fit and finish is looking better and better on each new photo.

    slow battery drain , not so slow anymore :-(

    Since it has slowly gotten worse for you, I suspect the battery is just done... not holding a charge. However, if the battery checks out okay, find out how much current is being drawn off the system (measuring milliamps). While the meter is connected, you then can pull fuses to narrow down...

    Repainting the hood grille covers

    I like the "bumper trim" paint. From my experience, it's a bit more durable than a standard "satin" black paint.

    Alarm Light Never Comes On

    Your battery should appreciate you for the fix too. It is a related issue.

    window weather stripping

    It's called the "rear run channel" and it's part of a larger piece that fits inside the door. Some of the Viper salvage places have it from parts cars; from what I've seen, it runs close to $300. I need one too but haven't bit the bullet.

    Alarm Light Never Comes On

    After arming the alarm and getting the "honk," do you get the confirmation "honk" 15 seconds later? It is supposed to do that, then it's actually "armed" and the dash LED will do it's flash routine. If yours isn't doing this, then something is probably keeping the KEM (Keyless Entry...

    To sell or not to sell?

    Sure it's a neat car... but it's no Viper GTS. I wouldn't even consider trading. If I had to have a GT500, I would pick up a 2010 or 2011, then add a pulley, tune, and exhaust.

    Anyone feel this way about their Viper....

    Sure the fiero kit looks like crap... but when you get the wheelbase, windows, wing, and ride-height correct, as Ferrari did, it looks alot better... How could anyone think this car looks "bland?" They're fetching a premium... saw one bring ~$750k a few years ago. I've heard of...

    Anyone feel this way about their Viper....

    Sure, Vipers are really nice, but I'm not gonna lie: I'd trade mine for just about everything mentioned thus far... except the Porsche and Corvette. :crazy2: :D:D

    Silver 98 GTS lowered with Black Iforged Astras

    That looks killer. Absolutely killer. Glad the springs turned out as good as they did! Drop-dead sexy car.
