    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    Well, I'm really hoping not to have to pull the headers - I can't imagine how complicated that is with nothing but a bag of Craftsman tools at my disposal. Besides, the entire exhaust is ceramic coated - not just the headers, and by dropping the exterior temperature of the exhaust to...

    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    I'll be checking that this afternoon. I also just read this: From All-Data: The O2 Sensors must have a source of oxygen from outside the exhaust stream for comparison. O2 Sensors receive their fresh oxygen supply through the wire harness. This is why it is important to never solder an O2...

    NEED - reputable Viper tech in Central Ohio

    Thank you for all the references. I'm still working on this locally trying to get the car running again, and then I can decide where I'm going to take it. Jeff

    Man....I miss my old GTS

    I'd like to chime in here if I may. I've been a Viper nut since day one. In Mid-08 I started to think that I might actually be able to buy a Viper (used, of course) and so when I took my '73 Barracuda to Carlisle, I planned to spend some time walking the Viper Pit to finally decide WHICH...

    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    How hard is it to get to the O2's in this beast? Any tips or tricks you guys/gals can recommend? I'm heading back down this afternoon to start some dissasembly - going to pull out the airbox on the passenger side to ease access to the plugs per AB's recommendation. Any idea how hard it is to...

    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    Well, for starters, the check engine light has been on and off for 6 months now, but not until I put in the MSD wires did I actually start getting these cylinder misfires. It's running worse than ever with less than 60 miles on the new wires.

    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    Can you tell me a bit more about the header history? Is there a specific area that the O2 wires are melting at? I haven't seen any failure of the ceramic coating, but how would that necessarily affect performance? I mean the exhaust isn't normally ceramic coated anyways... I talked to AB for...

    Calling All Viper WIZARDS!!!

    Hi All, I primarily put this thread here in the hopes of attracting the illustrious Viper Wizard. I called over to Tator's and left a detailed message, but thought I'd share this here for anyone else to chime in. Part 1 of the Story: I bought my Black 2000 Viper GTS Coupe on November 1st...

    NEED - reputable Viper tech in Central Ohio

    I will do that. I just hate asking people to "fix stuff" over the phone. As a former tech myself, that can be a pain in the butt! But he sounds like the kinda guy who wants to help regardless, so I'll give him a call. Thanks! I'm going down this afternoon to start working on the problem...

    NEED - reputable Viper tech in Central Ohio

    Yeah, my only concern is that I want to take it to a VIPER GUY. Someone who knows these cars and little glitchy issues like this one and can solve it. I'd love to take it to Chuck, but the car won't make it there, not to mention I'd have to leave it, and that's kinda far from home!

    NEED - reputable Viper tech in Central Ohio

    Kevan - I greatly appreciate the link. I'm going to check the code myself here locally first - but I'm suspecting the same O2 Sensor Heater Circuit code. The previous owner replaced ALL the O2's, the harness, and the PCM - still kept throwing the code. For now I'm just going to try to get...

    NEED - reputable Viper tech in Central Ohio

    Hi everyone, As the warm weather approaches, my Viper decides to die on me. Since I purchased it in November of '08, I have had an intermittent check-engine light for an 02 heater circuit. My dealership in PA couldn't find anything wrong, and the light stayed off for a while. After...

    Vipers with STRIPES!

    Thanks a ton! I considered using vinyl, but paints give the ability to use flake and pearl to add contrast with the rest of the body color, and plus with a coat of clear over the stripes, the effect will be very smooth. The car is going to be painted in Galactic Gray Metallic (a Toyota...

    Vipers with STRIPES!

    Hey guys, I need a small favor... Can anyone who has a Viper with factory racing stripes give me two measurements? I need a measurement of the width of the stripe (just of one stripe) and the distance between the two stripes at the center of the car. Preferably in millimeters - then...

    Nitrous...Cheesy???

    I gotta say there isn't really much "cheesy" about this... If done right - if researched and implemented safely, it can be one helluva fun ride. It can also be cheap to start - a simple fogger kit for example, but a direct-port, duel-stage nitrous injection setup can be quite expensive...

    I hope MSD wires are good....

    Who is AB and how do I find them? You guys gotta be careful using abbreviations on a new guy. :)

    I hope MSD wires are good....

    I had the Viper down for an oil change on Monday - a tech who was drooling over the engine noticed some spark from cylinder #8 when I started it up. So I pulled the plug that night only to see that the boot is all cracked and melted - it was resting against the header with a heat-cloth...

    Tremec 6060 in a Gen. II?

    They're also still somewhat hard to come by, from what I hear. A member from my E-body forum just got one for his '70 'Cuda, but only after some diligent effort from his local dealership parts manager, who happens to be a friend.

    Tremec 6060 in a Gen. II?

    I think it could be done for 3-4K, and if you've got friends in high places, 2-3K. I'm still doing my last little bit of homework, because I really want ABS on my Viper. But I'm just illustrating that this would give another option to satisfying the signal needs of the PCM if one is trying to...

    Tremec 6060 in a Gen. II?

    It might be a tad more expensive, but you can add the Gen III abs Module to a pre-ABS Gen I/II Viper, add spindles and wheel speed sensors from an '01/'02 Viper, and then use the Gen III's output speed sense signal from the ABS module. That's what I'm researching right now (but not for the...

    Need a Wiring Diagram

    Thanks to silversrt for sending me some wiring diagrams and information. Roadrunner - your tip was most helful - I didn't realize that the speed sense terminal was an OUTPUT - not an input. The Gen III module is also built for bigger brakes, which my Gen II has - I realize that the Gen II...

    Snake Oyl Cruise Control

    Hole-E-Crap what a pain in the butt this install was... Turns out, the usual spot that everyone managed to install theirs doesn't work on my Viper - with the hydroboost master cylinder set-up, I have a bundle of large-diameter steel braided pressure lines running from the power steering pump...
