    Ticking noise (ACR_Girl stated "Sounds like a playing card in the bike spokes")

    I did not check others. I was told as long as they are close (about 10%) of each other then should be ok.

    VCA Appreciation Day honoring Viper Exchange and Ben Keating

    We are still planning to be there tomorrow but we will not be in the GTS. We have a bent pushrod and are awaiting a replacement from Chuck Tator. We will be in the Corvette but will be wearing Viper T-shirts so please don't bash us to bad tomorrow!

    Chuck Tator - solving Viper problems across the country.

    I am giving a HUGE THANK YOU to Chuck also. He helped my wife and I out in finding a bent pushrod on our 01 GTS this past week. Numerous calls with Chuck telling me what to look for and listening to the motor run over the phone. He said he would send me some pushrods and rockers to replace the...

    Well this afternoon I go get and get a flexible LED Light, go home and pull the valve cover again to take a better look at the pushrods. Found a scraped area on 1 of them for the #1 cylinder. Had a friend take a look at the same time to confirm what I saw. We pull it out and confirmed it had...

    A friend came over and we got a P1297 - No Change in MAP From Start To Run (according to google finding a dodge code website). I did disconnect the MAP sensor to pull the valve cover so that might be why the engine light came on. It is connected backup. Ray

    Well I pulled the valve cover off hoping to find a broken valve spring or a bent pushrod. No luck with finding one of those. Now the engine light on the dash is lite up. I am guessing the Viper will be going to ART next week.

    Anyone know where the loose side is suppose to be connected to? It is on the back side of the engine on the driver side. Thanks Ray

    Ticking noise (ACR_Girl stated "Sounds like a playing card in the bike spokes")

    Ok oil is at the top of the full section on the dipstick. The sound is more of a clattering and seems to be on the front driver section of the engine. At 1500 Rpms and above it goes away! But it does speed up as the engine speeds up from idle to 1500, then goes quiet. It sounds like a...

    Interesting! We can still hear the ticking when parked in the garage or at a light with the engine just idling. If it was only while we were moving then I could say that would be something to check.

    The oil was just changed over the weekend but I have not checked the level; they suppose to have put in 10 quarts. 9550 miles on the car! The battery was out of the car for over an hour from taking the old one out and going to have it tested (then running to a 2nd store that had the battery in...

    Yesterday we swapped out the 1 year old Bosch Battery the previous owner had in the car for a new one to solve a starting problem. The Bosch tested 584 CCA with 12.55 Volts. Well last night I took the 2001 ACR out for a 15 minute spin and when I pulled into the garage and parked, I could...

    Miata Madness

    I have a couple of buddy's that race Spec Miata's and they are lot cheaper to rebuild then Corvettes and Vipers when they get tagged! But they spend just as much now for Spec Miata as some other friends that run The Spec 5.0 Camaro/Mustang groups do. There is a companying Cali that has been...

    Violet Photo Gallery?

    I know that there are extremely small number of Violet Vipers but there has to have been at least one owner that has taken some pictures of their Viper. I have seen about 3 photos and only 1 of them even comes close to showing the color. I would really like to see some photos of different...
