    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    When I was working on Aircraft, chasing vibrations was a bundle of fun. We did have a very useful tool (Chadwick) that was primarily made to balance props. Part of this unit was a sensor that would pick up the Vibration and give it a frequency (RPM). Then you could take the unit and dial in a...

    Intermittent Fogs and horn

    Here is the Grounding info from the 2001 Service Manual. I would guess that they are the same on the 2000. It shows location of Ground on the RIGHT FRONT FRAME RAIL. Hope this helps.

    Battery maintainer/tender?

    I also use the Schumacher battery maintainers on my Viper and other vehicles, Boat, Bikes and ATVs. I have slightly changed my charging practice during my extended Hibernation during Winter months by putting the maintainers on timers giving a three hour on window per day. I have become concerned...

    replacement radiator alternatives?

    I just had my 1997 Original Rad rebuilt due to leaking down the Left hand side. Pain to pull and reinstall but doable. Viper is now running cooler than ever. Also, note that I had it rebuilt to original spec. No double/triple row stuff. Ky

    Hood adjustment .

    Here is a Pic of my 97 and 01 hoods showing gaps on both sides. My research indicates that this is pretty typical of a Gen 2 hood fitment where one side gap may be larger than other side. I did not and would recommend to others not to mess with adjusting their hoods for these typical gaps. Maybe...

    What is the average cost to replace a window regulator on a 1996 GTS?

    I am surprised that you have a Dodge Dealer that is willing to work on your Viper. In my area (at least six Dealers within 20 miles) I have only found one willing to work on mine and the one that would will only provide labor and I have to supply all parts needed. I ended up doing all of my own...

    The "mileage question"

    Yes and No. The important thing is to learn the back story on the vehicle. Either a 10 mile Car or a 100 thousand mile car can be in equally good or bad condition. Do your homework on # of owners, Maintenance history, Accident history, look at any issues with recalls or service bulletins, The...

    1st Time Gen 2 buyer - Need Advice

    Monkey Motors is just about right. That poor GTS has been really worked over. Run away or you will be posting for help here with it. Listen to others posters here and look for a much better Viper. It might take a little time and work, but better ones are out there for a little more money up...

    old age problems

    Another thing to consider is the service point Schrader valve before getting in to deep. I have used the store supplied service kit that come with freon cans. I have not had any problems with my Vipers, but on one occasion when I serviced one of my Corvettes it damage the Schrader valve. It did...

    old age problems

    Do the panel lights work? How about turn signals and hazard lights? Horn? Power mirrors? back up lights? Sorry for all questions, but I am looking at a wiring manual trying to spot any common power side or ground point common to what is not working.

    Dodge Viper stereotypes and sayings

    I am on my 2nd Viper and going on to my 5th Corvette (as soon as this Virus thing is over and GM builds it) and truly appreciate what each of them were and still are to me. Other than the Forums, I have never had anyone say "Clown Shoe" about the Viper. Maybe we should just drop it and let it...
