    Purge Harness Needed But Mopar Mixed up the Number

    I took the car to the dealer and am reporting what they told me. I know they said they have to remove the front end to fix it. I have the purge valve but can't get the hose. The part number should be 4763767AD but I can't find it.

    Purge Harness Needed But Mopar Mixed up the Number

    Engine light comes on and code reader shows small emissions leak. I take it to the dealer and they run a smoke test. Test shows the purge valve and hose need to be replaced. I got the purge valve via Rock Auto. The part number for the hose is 4763804AD. Found one on eBay and they sent the wrong...

    How could a clean Gen3 viper sell for $38K?

    I had the same slow response when I first bought my '02 Viper. Like GTS Dean said, new plugs and wires are a must. Made a world of difference on my Viper. High flow cats and a K&N air filter are another consideration.

    Need advice on '02 GTS for sale

    When I bought my 2002 RT/10 with 11,000 miles four years ago, a deeply knowledgeable man on Vipers told me to expect to pay another five to ten thousand on maintenance issues described above by TEALLIFE. Because I had to have most of the mechanical work done by someone else. He was right...

    So long folks

    I'd be interested to hear more about the trade-in. What did you get and how much did they allow for your Viper? Also the mileage on your Viper when you traded it.

    Oil Spotting on Valve Cover

    After a short drive I have oil spotting on top of the valve cover under the MAP sensor. It's been a year now and it never gets worse than the photo shows. I've tightened the valve covers. I can't see oil leaking any other place under the hood. Any ideas where this is coming from?

    Mechanic needed in NC - Greensboro area?

    Bonafide viper techs are rare. If you can't find anyone, take your Viper to a reputable Dodge dealer. I do, and they stand behind their work. Most Viper repairs are uncomplicated.

    First time Viper owner, 94 RT/10

    It's more about torque than horsepower when speaking of initial takeoff. I punched the accelorator the other day and my '02 RT/10 got a little fishy when I hit second gear at full throttle. I have two-year-old Toyo R888R tires and they are very sticky. BTW, ten-year-old tires should be dumped...

    If you gotta have a Gen l get a Gen l. If you’re not sure get a Gen ll.

    Low Coolant In Overflow??

    "Pop off the front bumper"? Add distilled water? Wouldn't it be easier to replace a leaking fill hose? And you might want to fill the overflow with a proper mix of distilled water and coolant, or coolant in itself if you're using the premixed type.

    Buying a low mile Gen 1 Viper, any tips for what to expect?

    Tires will be hard as rocks and need to be replaced. All gaskets and hoses will be suspect on a car this old. That's just the basic easy stuff. Others will have more information for you.
