    SRT Oil Capacity?

    I just did the 500 mile oil change on my SRT and the car took right at 10 quarts with new filter to get the oil level to the top of the safe range. This agrees with the Owner's Manual. Dave

    More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don't

    Re: More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don\'t Sorry guys, I've been busy lately. Haven't even ordered it yet. I have been corresponding with a guy from this board who was having his Dodge dealer install Clearbra on the rockers and asked him to get back to me. The Dealer was...

    I see where the oil filter is at, now where is the drain plug?

    I did the first oil change on the Viper. I made the set of step up ramps and they worked fine. I was unable to get to the drain plug from under the front of the car, however. I am not overly tall or have overly long arms. I was able to get it with no problem from the driver's side with a socket...

    I see where the oil filter is at, now where is the drain plug?

    Rick, Thanks for the step up ramp plans. Doesn't seem you would have much oil staying in the pan with the car front being slightly higher on the ramps with you needing 9.3 quarts of oil. I think the engine needs 10 with filter change per the owner's manual. I had it down well with my...

    I see where the oil filter is at, now where is the drain plug?

    Viper SRT: Thanks for the confirmation. I was looking under the car tonight and saw the plug on the driver's side of the oil pan. looks like you could get it loose without having the car off the ground. Has anyone here done an oil change with the car still on the ground?

    I see where the oil filter is at, now where is the drain plug?

    I did a search and found several great pics showing where the filter is, now where is the drain plug located on the pan? Front or back? Saw a pic of most of the front part of the pan and couldn't make out the plug, so my guess is at the rear. Would make it a lot easier to do my own oil changes...

    Dead SRT10-No electric life

    After you get the situation straightened out, maybe you should buy a "Battery Tender Plus." They are about $50-$60, and you can leave them on your battery for extended periods of time. They actually are supposed to extend the life of your battery because they don't have the negative effects of...

    Need Invoice and Fair Price on Silver SRT with Zero miles on odometer

    Ok, the 14 miles is a Woodhouse thing, but "zero" miles on the odo means it was not driven by a tech period. Isn't that a common practice just to make sure everything is all right? Please correct me if I am wrong. Dave

    Need Invoice and Fair Price on Silver SRT with Zero miles on odometer

    If the car has zero miles on the odo, then the car has probably not been tested by a Viper tech. My driver from Woodhouse told me that every Viper should have 14 miles on it because a Tech drives it a bit to make sure everything is working. I don't know if this is a SOP per Dodge or just what...

    Heat extractor hood and washing the car.

    Sorry for this newbie question, but I washed the SRT 10 yesterday and I guess it is just a fact of Viper life that water gets in the engine compartment (not on the engine) thru the gills, especially when you open the hood to dry the areas you cannot get to with it closed? Dave

    More info on paint protection film: some shrink/some don\'t Hi everyone, Here is some more information on paint protection film. I talked to some manufacturers of SRT 10 paint film kits who use 3M type film for the pieces, and was told that this film cannot be exposed to high heat like what...

    '04 SRT 10 initial driving impressions vs. corvette

    \'04 SRT 10 initial driving impressions vs. corvette Hi everyone, The rain relented early in the afternoon so I took the Viper out for a drive this evening. Still in break in so nothing over 4,000 rpm. Not a lot of throttle, just cruising mostly. My previous car was modified and put 393 HP to...

    Thank you Woodhouse!

    Congratulations Hans! The black looks great. Glad your delivery went well also. My window sticker had the mysterious tonneau cover listed but not in the car, as well as the installed carpet kit and the red calipers. The window sticker comes off easily. I had mine laminated. It now looks like...

    Trickle charger?

    It has been suggested that I buy a trickle charger with auto shutoff for the SRT 10. I know the diff between a trickle and fast charge, but I saw a product called the "Battery Tender" that uses a computer chip to maintian proper charge when it is charging the car battery. Anyone have any...

    Opinions

    I could probably drive my SRT every day, but I think the paranoia of parking it around other cars would be the big thing for me. Dave

    can you fit Golf Clubs in the SRT???

    Wouldn't a round of golf take away from wheel time with the Viper? :D Actually, I just took delivery of my '04 SRT 10 this morning, and it does look like a set of clubs would fit there. :cool: DR. Roof: I am a native of Louisville (Lou-a-vull). I graduated from KCD in 1980. Brother...

    Info on 3M for rocker panels.

    Hi everyone, The recent threads about the sandblasting of the rocker panels got me worried about the car I'm getting, so I have been looking for the 3M tape. Anyways, I got in touch with a company called Stongard, www.stongard.com, and they sell several different kits for the SRT 10. I called...

    My red 2004 is on the way!

    Hi everyone, Got the word yesterday that my red 2004 SRT 10 left Woodhouse and I'll have it here in Atlanta sometime tomorrow. I've been a poster on this board since 2001, and like Hans said in his post, it will be nice to be a "true" member of the club. I put off buying a Gen II a couple...

    Heat Issue? Other Issues?

    My vote is for red. I just cannot see owning a white sports car any more. I had a white S2000 and it was all right, but I really didn't care for the color after a while. Liked it initially. Just preference, but a white sports car looks more tame, for lack of a better word. Maybe it is the...

    Re: There are two 2004\'s on e-bay................ Hi Hans, I didn't get to see the tonneau or the trunk carpet. I asked if they'd open the trunk and they wouldn't. The top was up, the windows rolled up and the car was locked. I still cannot believe I'll own one of these one day. The car is...
