    First No Front Plate Ticket

    I bought a foam clip on bracket for the plate from PartsRack and keep it stuffed in front of my passenger seat. I had a cop in a parking lot come over and was going to give me a ticket for no plate. I just said " Oh crap, I was at a car show over the weekend and forgot to put it back on." I...

    dead battery

    I don't think the problem is just Vipers. IMO it has to do with cars that aren't used on a daily basis. When I store my cars for the winter I disconnect the batteries only to have the gell cells dead after a short time. The wet batteries stay charged even when left in freezing weather for 5...

    Running lights

    On my 98 GTS I keep leaving the daylight runnung lights on and almost getting back to a dead battery. The key,light chime works but I don't hear it very well. Do any of you know of a louder buzzer I can install or wire in. I don't see anything in the searches. I would think that I'm not the 1st...

    Post a pic!

    CROM, sure don't want to get off topic so thought I'd post a couple pics I took today. Looks like the GTS you sold ended up in Alaska,LOL. I can also see you need t be a BIG guy to fit in a Viper and I'm trying to keep up. My 52 Supercharged Chevy pickup is quicker than the stock Viper 0 to...

    Starting issue is back...AGAIN!

    Yep, sounds like bad brushes in the starter to me. Sometimes make contact sometimes not. To confirm power to starter when no crank put a volt meter on the + at the starter and hit the key. That will tell if all the switches and relays work. If no power start back tracking the voltage to where it...

    Fun comment on a Viper from a Shelby Cobra guy

    I built a B&B manufacturing 427SC kit in 1998. I used the PS engeneering Halibrand knock off wheels and Smiths gauges. I built the car as close to an original as I could replicate. Found out Shelby put the gauges any way you requested. Mine was Royal Blue with white stripes. 400hp 351Winsor. The...

    If A Paddle Shifting Transmission Was Available In 2009, Anyone Buying One?

    IMO, they've been trnasforming the Viper to a VipVette since 03. They always said no cup holders or ABS or power seats or A/T. Yep that'll be next then the paddles. OHH, that's right wasn't GM going to buy Chrysler??:confused: :rolaugh:

    Excuse me, is your car on fire?

    I changed out my stock cats to RT and Corsa 3" back. I bought a 100' X6" wide roll of asbestos wrap. Wrapped my cats and mufflers under the sill. MAN, BIG mistake!!! Drove the car on the freeway about 10 miles to burn off the new parts. Pulled into my garage and the smoke never quit. I had to...

    Suspension Question

    Sounds like the car sits low on the drivers side so I don't see how a nail in the passenger side would do that. My car sags a little like that on drivers side too. BUT It's because I'm a big boy @ 250#. When I have my 200# wife in there everything levels out.:rolaugh: LOL. Also people have the...

    burning smell at WOT

    If it smells like real hot brakes it's the clutch slipping. Does RPM seem to go high real quick on hard acceleration. Usually a clutch.:(

    Ok Help Required Mystery Problem on GT2

    Paul, if it was an EVAP code it has nothing to do with the fuel lines or filter. Unless leaking. rather the tank holding pressure so no fuel fumes get to the atmosphere. The only "fuel codes" I can see are for rich run or lean run.

    Reverse lights not working

    There is no "adjustment" the switch screws into the side of the tranny. So either a bad switch or loose connection at the transmission. Warrranty!!

    AC Hose Install Help

    I think if you can change a part you can change the hose. BUT the system will have to be evacuated( sucked into a vacuum) for about 45 minutes before Freon can be added. You can save money by changing the hose, no big deal, but you need the recycler for evacuate and charge. Don't!! recharge...

    I would sure like to see the proof of the bend!!! Been doing it on mine 2 years now. Been doing it on other Vipers as well in my alignment and repair shop. Haven't see any miss aligned panels or bent frames. Don't see any problems jacking up in rear just enough to put the 4 post pads under the...

    How to Clean Radiator/Condensor Cooling Fins

    WoW, peroxide?? Never heard that before!!! Is it paint safe on the front end also? I usually use a garden hose spray from the engine side to blow'em out. Don't recommend the pressure washer either.:2tu:
