Just to be clear, I use my DRB III with a Super Card 2 to read and clear codes on our 1995 Viper. Its OBD I port is under the hood, on passenger side at the PCM. The plug is more square...and looks nothing like the more familiar OBD II port. This setup takes a different cable which is a...
You will usually get numbers all over the map on a forum. Try Hagerty. Look at the most recent auctions.
Also, run a CARFAX since they state a retail price at the top of the report...and you vehicle is still within their date requirements for said value.
Good luck !
It's great that you could drive your fine ride, Paul !!
A couple of nights ago, the forecasters stated that we MIGHT have freezing rain, etc...so the town sent the salt trucks out which I understand. Unfortunately, my short street got a good dose of salt combined with something that left an oil...
Agree that there are multiple variables in play here. Admittedly, I am not a fan of the frequent-start-but-no-drive theory for many reasons. I park ours for the Indiana winters, get them out in the Spring. This schedule has served me well for over 50 years. To each their own.
I would consider...
Can't really say, though it is easy to do the relearn and it won't hurt anything.
Now...what interests me is just what do you mean by "go dead" vs. "battery ran low" .
You can easily do a couple of battery checks with a voltmeter. If, after the engine has been off for 30 minutes (also off any...
Keep this thought...while you and the dealer are diddling each other over a couple of grand, someone may show up and buy it as there are not a lot of solid, 1-2 owner, no-stories Vipers on the market (let alone near you) whose history is both known and verifiable.
Best of luck whatever you decide.
I would not worry about anything special. I placed a call to a friend who MAY have been owner #2 just to conform car's identity and, therefore my recollections. I expect to hear from him today.
2 years ago, I had to go to4 different Walmart in the greater Indy area to purchase 18 of the 5 quart jugs on Mobil 1. 0W-40. While loading my cart at the last store, I noticed a manager tag on a person in the old area. I inquired about the seemingly sporadic stocking of this oil. She agreed...
Goggles Pizano has made a very important point. If you have not driven both a Gen II and a Gen V, you need to do so...or at least ride in them. The Gen V GTS is certainly a nice riding Viper while a Gen II is a little rougher ride.
Either Gen can become a handful instantly if one does not keep...
As noted in service manual, Vipers can draw up to 30ma continuously and still be "normal"... more with alarm on.
Doing that math, battery CAN drain within a few weeks...depending on ampHr rating.
I USED to get 7 years on Sears Diehard Gold batteries in Gen I and II Vipers using a battery...
Off hand, I don't recall using it on a Gen V...but probably worth a try. This throttle relearn procedure is not to be confused with the Electronic Throttle Control reset for Gen IV and V Vipers...encountered when installing new PCM.
You may need to do a throttle relearn. To do this, turn the ignition on to run BUT do not hit the starter. Then, slowly depress the gas pedal to the floor and slowly release it...and complete this process one more time. Turn ignition off, wait a couple of seconds and try to start the engine...
