    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

    01 GTS radiator hose question

    I wouldn't do silicone hoses. They permeate water like 500x more than regular EPDM rubber hoses. Pain in the ******* ass. Today's hoses are not like those from 1975 - they have service lives of 20+ years ... good enough (because even silicone has a service life ... basically every 2 times you...

    RT10 Mods (Heads/ Cam/ etc.)

    Tuning should be pretty straightforward now that HP Tuners supports gen 2 vipers. Find any good performance shop with a dyno. Could also do a remote tune - Unleashed Performance did mine before I headed to the dyno and it was pretty good after a few drives.

    Volt gauge reading

    Except if it dies in the alternator big deal - $200, 2 bolts, and an hour later you're good to go. Not so cheap or fast if it's the PCM.

    Volt gauge reading

    I bought Rock Auto's last new mopar gen 2 alternator ... figured cheap and easy enough to try as I don't recall seeing the headlights dim when all the load was on a year or two ago. Or maybe they did and I never noticed it, I dunno, but cheap and easy enough to see. In my research I did learn...

    Volt gauge reading

    With the battery fully charged and car (2002 rt/10) on, intercooler pump on, radio on, headlights on (dtrl), radiator fan off, the needle on the volt gauge is just a hair past the 14 mark on the gauge. Same conditions but now radiator fan on, the volt gauge sits a hair beneath the 14 mark if...

    Bought an SCT x3. Little to no support from SCT. Any tuners available can help out?

    I'm happy with Torrie - Unleashed Tuning - https://unleashedtuning.com/ - did a remote tune with HPT on my paxton gen 2.

    Can't program throttle.

    You said you changed the throttle ?bodies/sensors? - I think they need a dealership specific tool to be re-learned (i.e., not just an at-home reset or autozone scan tool reset), don't they?

    New Viper Owner

    I had the exact same experience when I asked him what brands he stocked and what the date codes were ... so I just went and bought from Tirerack; they had no question answering my questions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Transmission Fluid for G1 & G2

    Except they don't make Syntorq anymore and there's no consistency about what to use when I read online posts for Gen2 transmissions :(

    Transmission Fluid for G1 & G2

    There's a sticker that says use Syntorq

    Transmission Fluid for G1 & G2

    What is the recommended fluid for a 2002? Some sites say 75-90 GL4 (e.g., Amsoil), others say use Mopar ATF+4.

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    Built engine I don't blame ya ... remote diagnosis is never fun ... now that it's working again all I can do is wait and watch for anything funny. But if something mechanical changed, you'd think there would be symptoms at either cold start, idle, cruise or WOT .... so weird that everything...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    Battery is only a year old (although since batteries are crap today I guess that doesn't mean much) and cranking/operating voltages seem as they've always been, but I will keep that in mind if I put in a new battery and it goes wonky in-tank Walbro fuel socks and inline 10 micron Aeromotive...

    Where to locate trickle charger

    That's where mine's attached to. I don't see any issues with it. What they might be referring to is if you use a ring terminal on the + stud rather than the alligator clips. If you use a ring terminal you have to spin the nut off the + stud, which can cause the stud to spin and short your...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    then re-loading it would have fixed the issue (it didn't). With my new revised tune (reduced cranking fuel) cars starts up perfectly. If I re-load my original dyno tune from a year ago, it goes back to refusing to start. Re-load my new revised tune and it starts up perfectly.

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    I know - it's all very weird. The initial adjustments Torrie made pulled back startup fuelling a little bit, which meant that instead of having to hold the pedal to the floor to restart it I could just feather it and it would start. He made additional startup fuelling adjustments and now it...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    No difference So far what I've found is that on cold and semi-cold starts there is no issue (fires up right away). Once water temperature is around 100*ish or so, then it will just crank and no start. If I floor it while cranking it starts up immediately (initially thought this meant I was in...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    Some progress today, I'm just not sure what it means. Car sat overnight. Started up on first crank, idled fine. I did on/off several times, no issues. Drove it up/down my driveway then off/on several times, no issues. I let it warm up to just before the fans turned on, no issues...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    Does a gen 2 viper have a clear flood mode? I.e., press the gas pedal to the floor and the injectors won't fire when cranking the car?

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    It idles fine and fuel trims look fine so I don't think it's a vaccum leak. Last times I've had vacuum leaks either the idle was super high and/or short-term fuel trims were really off (like +/-25%). And all hoses are connected and visually look fine Ground doesn't make sense because the...

    Car will not start unless fuel pump unplugged first

    2001 viper w/ built engine and paxton. Fuel system is double RSI in-tank (2x walbro 267), external Weldon regulator, 80lb bosch injectors. Car was dyno tuned by Torrie ~2yrs ago (HP Tuners + stock ecu) and has run flawlessly since but today decided to "break". If I try to start the car it...
