Maintenance procedures / instructions

[chrisd0729]

Is there any consolidated site or document with various maintenance procedures outlined? I'm looking to swap brake, tranny, diff and coolant fluids. I've always done my own work on prior cars, just looking to understand the nuances of the Viper and any tips/tricks in the procedures.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Utube?

I would recommend getting the service manual if you do no already have it. The factory manuals are extremely helpful and keep you straight on procedures, torque and specifications for your specific viper that sometimes get lost in online information. Also joining the Viper clubs will unlock a lot of great info not available to us regular folk.
Also, have fun. I have greatly enjoyed doing my own work on my vipers.

Agree with KyViper on service manual. There is plenty of info here on OEM fluids. Enjoy your Viper.

Sounds good - any good suggestion on where to get the right manual?
I assume this is best as it's direct from Mopar?

Yes...or ebay. If you are interested in OEM fluid list (updated) for your car ( 02 ACR ??)...drop an email to me.

I just did the same thing on my 2002 RT/10. I have all the manuals. I found it useful to search individual threads for each fluid change. Lots of good info out there. For example when I changed my clutch fluid, I let it gravity drain instead of using the pedal. Worked great. Another great write up I found on the web was for the coolant flush and change. Use the manual and the web. Can't beat it.
