    Another crank no start thread but with a twist

    gen 2 vipers don't have a clear flood mode (I'm guessing the crate engine ecu doesn't either). Or don't hold it to the floor, just stab the gas a bit to open the throttle body while cranking to see if it starts when adding air. basically just try starting it by adding more air to see if...

    Another crank no start thread but with a twist

    If you hold the gas pedal to the floor when cranking will it start? (i.e., add more air) 2yrs ago I re-tuned my 01. Worked perfectly fine. Then last year I went to start it and it would not start. Only crank crank crank, no fire. When I held the tbs opened then it would all of a sudden...

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    I believe I have a gen 2 fan, definitely not a gen 3 and probably not a gen 4 unless that's what the ViperStore sells. The reason I thought about upsizing the wire is because when I built my 65 cobra I originally ran a 6ga wire. That thing is as bare bones as possible, and when my radiator...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Unfortunately not anymore - intake's back on and that sucker isn't coming off - just have to remain a mystery for the time being. But can you post the ID of your pcv port hole for future reference.

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    Victory is mine! I ran a 2ga wire from the alternator to a 150 amp mega fuse, then to the starter stud. Upsized the alternator ground to 2ga. I pulled the factory 6ga wire out of the harness and ran it to a junction block incase i ever want to use it again for something (I was concerned about...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Effectively - I'm using a brass barb fitting and not the OEM piece, but same difference. It would need substantial additional radial bite in order to fit like my original grommet, more than just swelling or stickinga fitting in could achieve.

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    If the PCM were culprit I would think it would struggle to charge with any loads on it, no? All the threads I've read on here where the PCM was the culprit (and the person installs an external voltage regulator to solve it) all had slow/constant voltage drops while driving. I'm good until the...

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    2001; aftermarket accessories are radio, intercooler pump, 2x Walbro 267 and radiator fan from TheViperStore. Canadian car so low beam headlights are always on. On a fully charged battery when I start & idle the car and check the voltage w/ a multi-meter I get 13.9 (intercooler pump and dtrl...

    TPMS Woes? READ THIS FIRST, *before* you waste a bunch of time and money

    The ABS sensor in my 04 cobra died. I did not feel like replacing it since ABS is for *******, but the ABS failure light bothered me. So I just unplugged the bulb behind the dash and it's been great for the last 20 years :)

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Definitely not my experience - all 3 I bought just slipped in (while putting my original one back in was a SOB) I asked Viper Parts Depot and they insist there's only 1 grommet So yea, that means either later gen models have a different sized hole (seems unlikely), somebody modified mine...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    I've got 3 "different" grommets from 3 different sources - they all measure the same and the markings look the same, so there's probably only 1 manufacturer. When you install a PCV grommet in your block, would you characterize it as a tight fit (i.e., does not move around the hole) or a...

    TPMS Woes? READ THIS FIRST, *before* you waste a bunch of time and money

    I don't understand - any time I've had a TPMS sensor die I just go to my regular tire shop, they stick in a new one, clone it and away I go. Is there something unique about Viper TPMSs, like most cloning tools can't read them?

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    I did - my research suggests there's only 1 grommet. However, in some catalogues the OEM number goes back to just 2001-2002 Vipers, and in others it goes back to 1994. I've never had a pcv grommet with a snug-but-relatively-loose fit before, so it makes me think that maybe the dimensions...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Did the PCV grommet hole change in dimensions during the Gen 2 run? I have my intake manifold off so figured I'd change the grommet as cheap insurance while I'm there. I bought the standard "fits every Chrysler since the beginning of time" grommet - NAPA 6301073 - and while it does fit the...

    Can never trust new parts

    Cars today are piece of garbage. Car parts today are pieces of garbage. Workers' attitude are in the toilet. Society's a ******** these days. We need to go back 20 years in time.

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I used Wix/Napa Gold filters for decades, but wix turned to garbage after M+H bought them and then Napa Gold got outsourced to some junk chinese manufacturer. Very disappointing that part quality has gone down the toilet over the years :(

    Can never trust new parts

    Thanks but I bought another new Mopar one from Rock Auto .... just wanted to vent that the employee on the assembly line couldn't be bothered to take 1 second to spin it to make sure it's good It just feels like the quality of the auto sector - parts and labor - has gone into the toilet these days.

    Can never trust new parts

    Needed a new alternator for my 01. Bought a brand new mopar unit since I try to avoid reman stuff when possible. Take it out of the box, give the pulley a spin and 'click click click click click click click click click' Grrrrrr :(

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    Buy it from a Dodge dealership? I think I pay like $20 artic pesos for mine from a dealership, so that's like $14USD No they won't - they don't say 'Viper' on them so they're all a ************* compared to the mopar one.

    My viper conundrum

    I won't leave mine unattended in parking lots .... in the early years I would and 90% of the time I'd come back to find people loitering around it. All it takes is 1 asshole - of which they are plenty these days - to ruin your day.

    1999 GTS - Exhaust Manifolds Glowing Red

    If it was doing it before, and it's both banks, that really starts to sound like an ignition timing issue. I assume you didn't screw with the timing in the tune, so I wonder if maybe crank or cam sensor is doing it? I once had an LS3 with ITBs ... to get it to idle we basically had to pull out...

    1999 GTS - Exhaust Manifolds Glowing Red

    If you don't have cats/mufflers it's most likely unburnt fuel in the exhaust, either too rich or timing is too r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d. Checks O2s are working and what the fuel trims are as a starting point.

    01 GTS radiator hose question

    RSI has a hard-pipe kit to replace the upper and lower rad hoses. For the smaller heater and coolant tank hoses you're forced to go with silicone ones
