    Crackling from the Stereo at idle??

    Yeah I know the broadcasters suck, but it was an $11 alternative to a complicated stereo install - which I just don't feel like getting into right now. But you both ask good questions and I would have never thought of the door harness. I'll get answers to these questions and check the...

    Crackling from the Stereo at idle??

    Ya know, it's been a long time since I played a CD. I bought one of those cigarette-lighter FM broadcast units that takes SD cards so I could play the 200+ songs I have on MP3. I want to say I got it in CD mode, but not as noticeable. I have to get the car back down to the storage garage this...

    Anyone ever had a squeaky exhaust??

    Another annoying sound that became more apparent this past weekend was a loud squeak/creaking from the rear of the GTS. I noticed it from the day I bought it, but figured it was spare parts stuffed in the rear hatch. Unfortunately, it's never gone away. Yesterday I let my dad drive the...

    Crackling from the Stereo at idle??

    Alright, I'm kinduvan audio Guru when it comes to signal paths and wiring... But this might be a bit above my level of experience. I noticed during the Covered Bridge Tour this past weekend that my radio crackles pretty bad when I'm not moving - like sitting at a stoplight or intersection...

    playing with the idea of selling your car? Here is how NOT to do it

    What's the size? I've been trying to figure out where I can even got to LOOK at wheels for my GTS. TireRack and DiscountTire tell me I have to call - but how do they expect me to look at wheels over the phone....? :dunno:

    SHE LIVES!!! Thanks VCA members!!

    Eventually I will - I promise. I'm even planning on a VENOM membership. However, as of this writing, I am preparing to become unemployed in early June. If I land a new assignment before then, I'll be fine. If not, well, obviously, a penny saved is a penny earned! Thanks again. She's...

    O2 heater code being thrown

    Read this thread - just solved it the other day. http://forums.viperclub.org/rt-10-gts-discussions/625012-calling-all-viper-wizards.html Also, take this note to heart - it's not necessarily ideal in the 00-02 cars to start it and let it sit. DC actually suggested starting it and beginning...

    Cash vs Finance

    That's my stance - why should I have to wait until I can put cash down to get the car of my dreams? I saw an awesome opportunity to make a dream come true, made a quick phone call, and BAM - money in hand. Sure I might be "suffering" from it for a while, but I don't care - I got what I want...

    SHE LIVES!!! Thanks VCA members!!

    Well, the preheat CEL's I was getting would cause the mixture to richen, and the MSD wires couldn't keep up. But even before the MSD's, when I'd get that code I'd get a misfire/pop and such when idling. I still think she's a little on the rich side (I can smell the cats under heavy accel) and...

    Cash vs Finance

    I've noticed since I started shopping for these cars that it seems like some people frown not only on financing themselves, but on others who finance "specialty" vehicles. I had people on Ebay trying to put me down because I needed to "finance" my Viper - couldn't pay cash straight up. I got a...

    SHE LIVES!!! Thanks VCA members!!

    With new "Quick Fire" O2 sensors from DC Performance, new wires from AB, new Champion spark plugs, DEI heat-wrap on the headers, collectors, and O2 sensor wiring, and a fresh, memory-dumped PCM, I fired the Viper back up yesterday evening. She came to life instantly, and after coaxing her to...

    1:18 Bumble Bee Model Pictures! It exists!

    Yeah, 1/24th, and a few other things. I have some "round taillight" cudas that I want to build to look like my 73, as well as a Plymouth Roadrunner that I want to drop a Gen II Viper GTS motor into. It was actually supposed to be a "father-son" custom-build-off competition that just never...

    1:18 Bumble Bee Model Pictures! It exists!

    How did you do the wing? I've actually been trying to figure out how to mold the rallye hood for a 1972 Barracuda - all the hoods you find are AAR hoods. But I have no idea where to even start, besides buying a sheet of the plastic at a hobby store. Did you heat it/melt it? What did you use...

    WANTED: Gen II headlight/foglight switch

    Jon, could you PM me with just a ballpark price on the used switch? I just want to know if it's fifty bucks or a hundred and fifty bucks... I'm not in a huge rush to get it, so I don't want to bother someone on the phone! Thanks. Jeff

    WANTED: Gen II headlight/foglight switch

    Hmm, can't find it. I see the combo turn-signal/headlight switch, but that's not how my Gen II is set up - I have the rotary knob in the dash to the left of the steering column that you pull to turn on the fogs... I want to see if the switch can be "modified" so that you can pull to turn on...

    Need some opinions...

    Hang on - you gotta check these prices. Anyone who pays $42+ for a 2002-or-older Viper isn't doing enough homework. There are deals out there by people who need to get out from under these cars, and you can save a LOT of money (to help with things like registration, taxes, inspections...

    What Was This Owner Thinking?

    Is he a member here? I can't find MoonViper in the members directory. Does he still work for Chrysler?

    Worth

    Yeah - I'd laugh at a 35K Viper with almost 80 on the clock. I just saw a 2000 RT/10 with 31 on the ODO for $25K Buy-It-Now. I got my '00 GTS for just a few bucks over $36K. Buyer's market - but y'all already knew that. :) Jeff

    WANTED: Gen II headlight/foglight switch

    Hey all, I'd like to try and find a used, working-condition headlight switch for a Gen II GTS. I could always go to my dealer for one, but I'm kinda looking for a deal as this is for an "experiment." Anyone? PM if you might have something. Jeff

    Gen 2 Auto Trans

    It's funny to find this post - I just found a 2000 Viper RT/10 roaster on Ebay that matches the color scheme of my 2000 GTS exactly. I made a joke to my wife about buying it for her and having "HISSSS" and "HERSSSS" Vipers. First comment she makes? "But I want an automatic." You guys have...
