Get a friend and pump pedal. Seriously, I have done that on SCORES of Vipers when Viper Tech Tom Sessions who would come to Indy and work at my friend's CJDR dealership for a week at a time. Tom (former tech inspector for Viper Days/Viper Racing League) would not change clutch fluid any other...
I would suggest that you learn to flush your own clutch fluid. Unfortunately, many, many owners neglect this process.
But, if you are worried about doing this on your own, find a shop that works on Vipers to do it and that will show you the process.
"Technical service bulletins (TSBs) can be found on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website. TSBs are free to look up on the site and can be a good starting point for finding information about significant problems that may affect your vehicle.
To find a TSB on the...
BoondocSaint, to me there is nothing wrong with a rebuilt car if done correctly and completely by folks well familiar with said car. I have seen more than one of such Vipers that were really well done. You and I are on the same page on the pricing.
Sadly, putting a new front fascia on to a...
I see that someone else is looking at that same Viper on Facebook...oddly, asking same question on validation.
There is a gentleman who has been assembling a registry of Gen II ACR's for several years. He is also well tied into their current values. His opinion coupled with your thorough...
After a quick look, it seems to be an ACR to me...about same description as our 99 ACR which was built in first batch for Wife.
Is your interest academic ?
If you are thinking about buying it for your own use, I would suggest that you could do better in many ways. For instance, in my opinion...
Hi, Leo...welcome to the Forums.
Admittedly, when reading the intro to your story, I was expecting to hear that you had purchased a Viper automobile.
That said, Viper trucks are also cool.
In order to help folks focus on assisting you with both the stated (as well as the implied ) issues, I...
All five Gens of our Vipers spit water and some black specs upon cold startup.
As I recall, with the Prefix PCM, they can tune the decel popping either in or out.
Can you go to a local dyno just to establish some baseline info?
Yes, I am in the Indy area...northwest side.
Service is a tough deal...but I do have some thoughts...including a towing company that I have used many times for Vipers for both short and long hsuls.
Give me a call if you like. 317-402-9013
I sure hope that you can pinpoint the issue...
Frustrating issue.
Having a 2004 Service Manual would be quite helpful...particularly the 8 W section.. While in general the Gen III service manuals appear to be the same ( or nearly so), keep in mind that some of the color coded wiring is different when comparing 2003 and 2004 to 2005 and 2006...
Here's a link to a current thread in Gen I/II section which gives a little historical perspective:
https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/smooth-tubes.679207/
The ones supplied by Adderware were precisely cut at a carefully calculated angle using a special radial saw blade, champherred on both ends for ease of installation, and long enough to fit all Gen I and II Vipers with their minute build dimensions.They were "developed" by a machinist/Viper...
