    My 2002 GTS arrived last night. Question about tire noise.

    A U-joint in a half-shaft could be going out.

    My 2002 GTS arrived last night. Question about tire noise.

    I have the same rear tires and they're not noisy. Jack the back of the car up, and check the wheels for runout (be careful with car up). If they "wobble," they might be bent.

    Gauge lights not working

    I'll check out the switch and connection first and update this thread. It's too cold out in the garage right now though! Thanks Chad.

    Gauge lights not working

    Tapping the dimmer switch did the trick, but the lights come and go. I'm going remove the switch to see if I can service the contacts...or replace. Thanks again guys.

    Gen 2 transmission noises

    The noise is due to the transmission gears "freewheeling" in neutral. The "clatter" sound is from the spinning gears' backlash and clearances. Lightening the flywheel amplifies the already present sound on these cars. I also believe that since the transmission sits basically right beside...

    Gauge lights not working

    Yes, I have the manual. The wiring diagram shows gauges going to ground, but not sure where. Was hoping someone had experience/insight to this problem before I try to go into the dash. Ugh.

    Gauge lights not working

    I've searched, but didn't find this problem... Car is a '96 GTS. Parking lamps and headlights are working perfectly, but the gauge lighting is not coming on. I thought it might just be the dimmer switch on "dim" but it's not changing the illumination at all. It all worked fine...

    Turbo or supercharger?

    Ride in a supercharged viper...then ride in a turbocharged viper. You will not even debate it anymore.

    Paxton vs PD Blower - my Z06 vs my Viper

    Twin turbos would be a mechanical fix, wouldn't they? :2tu:

    Post your single most favorite GTS or RT10 pic

    I agree... although I cannot take credit for the car or the photo. Here's mine in a photo taken by previous owner...I'll add it to the thread:

    Looky what I won.....what a hoot!

    Here's an idea I had. You could do the stripes in vinyl and remove them if you got tired of them... :2tu:

    Painter in the Chattanooga area?

    Friend of mine was happy with some repair and paintwork done on his Z06 at Vinson's Village. Said it's on 153/Shallowford, behind the car dealerships next to Enterprise car rental. FYI, he also said they're cash/check only; no credit cards. Here's what googling it gave: Vinson's Village...

    What header will make my car not sound like a UPS truck....

    Saying the V10 "sounds bad" is like saying Guinness "tastes bad." Sure, it's not as tasty (or popular) as a crisp, refreshing Coca Cola...but for those who appreciate Guinness, it's definitely just as sweet. Think of it as an acquired taste. You've yet to acquire it. :2tu:

    Tall guys: save my dream car for me...

    I'm 6'3" and have plenty of room...but it's a GenII GTS. Haven't sat in a GenIII or IV. Guess I need to.

    Headwork done on these heads?

    The finish on those port walls looks like a sand-roll was used...definitly not the raw casting. And BTW fellas... the flexible tube with camera attachment is called a "Borescope." Wikipedia-Borescope :2tu:

    The first Viper you ever saw

    Back in '94, a doctor down the street got one and it was the first one I ever saw and heard in person. I'll never forget the sound of 10-cylinders firing through sidepipes as he stabbed the throttle leaving the stopsign at the end of the street. Then he bought what I was told was the first...

    Does Anyone Have This Harbor Freight Jack ?

    I have used the regular-height (not low-profile) version of that Harbor Freight jack for years with ZERO trouble. I keep the gears greased and dirt away from the piston and it still has a nice touch when letting the car down slowly. Some floor jacks are either on or off when you try to let the...

    Stripes on B/W GTS

    It varies a good bit on my '96. Some places your finger could almost catch an "edge" and on other places, it's just about smooth. That's a painted stripe for ya.

    Just got off the dyno

    Also hard to judge your numbers when the cam and head-work are unknown. They're critical to what you're trying to do, especially without power-adders.

    Does anyone know this Viper??

    This one's local to me...right up the street. I would be happy to look over the car if needed: Used 2003 Dodge Viper SRT10 For Sale | Bessemer AL
