I am not familiar with that term Steve, or a IOD test. I am interested though :)
Once it warms up I will be driving it again, but I would love to know all of my options for next winter.
Thanks! ---
That's what I am going to have to do ... take the rear wheel off and pull the battery , then re-install it.
Its just not fun doing that LOL.
I heard starting the car and letting it warm up in the winter is hard on the exhaust if you don't let the engine warm up enough ( condensation ) , or...
Actually I have been using a Battery Tender 5W solar charger. Its either not big enough, or its having issues with my Optima Battery being AGM ... not quite sure. The instructions say it will recharge a completely dead battery ... I haven't tried to start the Viper in a month , and I tried...
OK good ideas , thanks! Chances are the battery will never be fully charged enough to sit through the winter temperatures ... I'm not sure if this would even be worth it. It just sucks to have to take the battery out to charge it up yearly LOL ---
I don't have access to a power plug for a battery tender in the winter time.
I think my new Optima battery may have died out on me this winter , the weather was a lot worse than I planned and I wasn't able to drive the car weekly like I was last winter.
Someone recommended I install...
I was searching and saw the SCT x3 is about to come out , and will be a typical hand-held unit that will datalog too.
I don't like the idea of buying a second hand-held if I don't have to.
I see some "generic" datalogging programs via the Android phone applications that some people have...
That's a TON of money just to datalog a couple parameters. HA!
I wonder why messing with the computers on these cars are so hard ... all my other OBD2 vehicles are plug n play (handhelds) when it comes to something simple like datalogging.
I even have a couple OBD1 cars that require a...
I am not interested in tuning right now ... but I would like to datalog the performance of my 01' Viper.
I see the VEC and SCT Pro-Racer programs seem to be focused on actual tuning adjustments.
Do they both datalog also?
Is there just a datalog-only program out there?
Thanks for...
Re: Going to fix my lighter , what are the steps to taking off the stereo surround pi
Thank you AZTVR , pics even ... nice!
No problem PatrickG , good luck :) ---
My lighter is dead, and the fuse is good.
I am going to guess the connection at the rear vibrated off.
I see its the radio surround that needs to get removed?
Any tips or steps to taking this piece off? I have a bad habit of pulling until something breaks thinking the clips are "...
Any will work.
I will check out his site! Thanks for the lead KNG SNKE! :)
EDIT: I just looked. He has a "melton and leather" jacket for $289. Is that the one you are talking about? There isn't a picture of it though ---
If you have any Vintage (new or used) Sneaky Pete Logo'd and/or GTS themed Jackets you are wanting to sell, send me a PM with a picture and a price.
I am looking for Medium or Large jackets only.
Thanks! :) ---
PERFECT!
I didn't imagine you could see the horizontal bolts from the outside of the block!!! ( I was picturing splayed style bolts in my head ).
Dan , that was cool of you. Thanks ! ---
WOW, that was outstanding!
Thank you very much for your time ... I learned a lot by that post :D
Whats the difference between the wet and dry sleeve?
I am going to look up and see what a 2+2 main cap looks like. ---
ok, that's good to know.
I appreciate the knowledge guys. I didn't really search info before or after the gen 2's, because that's what I have.
I tried to focus on what was in front of me ... but this is interesting. ---
I didn't realize the gen 3 was an entirely different engine than the gen 2's ... I figured they all shared the same bottom end and were just getting topend mods to get the extra 50-55 hp between the generations!
I guess the bottom end is where it went from 8.0L to 8.3L ? Different rods and...
Different cylinder heads on all the different generations? Gen 1 , Gen 2 , and Gen 3 all have different cylinder heads?
What causes the Gen 3 to be more prone to the rod bearing issue than the earlier generation engines? ---
I had a buddy buy a 2003 SRT Gen 3 with 35k miles. He had the car a month and got the dreaded #3/#4 rod kock.
I didn't realize this was common problem with the gen 3 engines.
It made me wonder what are the differences in the gen 2 vs gen 3 engines.
Gen 2 = 450hp , Gen 3 = 505hp.
The...
I was thinking that too KDR , I will pop off the glass and inspect everything closer soon.
Thanks for the instruction on how to get the mirror off and back on :) ---
I had a wasp nest behind the passenger side mirror glass.
I used a power washer to get behind the glass and break up the nest, then pulled ALL the nest out.
Well, I set the mirror all the way up , and pushed it up even more to get the water stream under the mirror.
Now, it will go...
