Shared parts between Vipers and other brands.

[THEMASH]

Does the viper share a fuel pump with any other car? need a fuel pump for a 1993 RT10.

I don't think there is a match, but either Chuck Tator or JonB should know for sure. Check your PM.

I rebuilt my tranny. The shop saved me a bunch of money on the gears by getting parts for a T56 Camaro transmission. Same parts at a much lower cost. Been driving it hard with no problems.

MannyG

Yep, I have heard that the gears are the same, except for the hardening technique used. The "Viper gears" can withstand the much greater "Viper torque", where the "Camaro gears" will not. Hope you don't ever have to find out. Good luck!

 

[PhoenixGTS]

When I recently had my tranny rebuilt the tech installed a .80:1 5th and .64:1 6th gear kit from Rockland Gear in New York (I really like the shorter gears as I do not due much freeway cruising). He subsequently learned that the gears are from the Aston Martin version of the T-56.

I just replaced my power steering cap with one from a PT Cruiser. The guy at NAPA hooked me up.

 

[Matt M PA]

Steering column is a Dynasty part.

Foglamps are Audi.

HVAC controls, Ford. Same as my '03 Mustang, '05 Excursion.

Headlight switch is European Ford.

I found that my '72 Plymouth uses the same hood insulation pad clips.

Here's the real shocker. Front side markers are Petersen Manufacturing. Exact same piece at Wal-Mart for $2.00. Just bought new ones for my trailer. I can only imagine what DC gets for these.

Yeah. I've asked for it in the past. But only group buys and "new color" polls seem to have that exalted status.

 

[randy lindberg]

Does anyone know if there is any other vehicle that uses any of these parts that would work on my Gen 1 (1994)

Front spindle / knuckle
blower motor housing
oil cooler

That's just a start. I just bought a '94 that got punched in the nose. If anyone has any suggestions or extra parts lying around (drivers headlight?) Let me know.

March UD pulleys for a 5.9 dakota fit the viper and retain the 7 rib belt.

Whole steering rack assembly and tie-rods/ends are the same from the 97-99' 2wd dakotas.

I believe the front wheel hubs are the same as well.

Anaconda, What happened to your old power steering cap?

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

acrdakota, I knew inner and outer tie rods were same, but didn't know the rack was. How did you find this?

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

If you need a hose, thermostat bypass to engine bypass, PN 5245 658 on short notice and can't get one, the first several inches of Goodyear 62265 will do very nicely. Don't know what car it goes on.

Loosen the two bolts on the passenger side rocker cover first, and then tighten them before tightening the hose clamps.

 

[Roland L-Ocala FL]

Aren't the mirrors borrowed from a Dodge Stealth? The coil packs are from a four cylinder and a 6 cylinder Dodge or Chrysler as far as I know, but don't ask me which model or which year of Chrysler cars they are from. They (Dodge) stole parts from lots of cars to put the Viper into production as quickly as they could. I think the emergency brake lever is from an older Chrysler model as well.

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

Shoot. My comment above missed a sentence and now I can't edit it.

To get the rubber hose off and on, loosen the two bolts holding the metal coolant tube against the passenger side rocker cover first....

 

[MattInNC]

I claim no validity for any of these, but may be worth a look. There were tons more other parts,(tie rod ends stuck in my head) but I'm running late for work, and don't have time to post more right now...

 

[97GTS]

Not sure where I got this list from or how valid but here goes:

1. Power steering pump
- 97-02 Viper part# 4642153
- 93-96 Jeep part# 52088139AC

2. idler pulley for serp belt is off of a jeep

3. wiper motors are off of rear caravan

4. glove compartment door latch for Gen 1 Vipers(RT/10's). The part is the same as '91 - '95 Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyger, and Chrysler T/C

5. Viper A/C Vents are the exact same as the Jeep Liberty

6. Air box clips for gen 1 at least, are chevy part nr. 25043286 $2 each

7. RT/10 Outside mirrors are the same as a Dodge Stealth

8. The Viper inner tie rod ends (not talking about outer tie rod ends) are the same as a Dakota

9. Rear caliper piston dust boots are from an Eagle Premier

10. Lower pressed-in ball joints are part number 4848 174. Upper ball joints are the common Ram van/pickup piece

11. Whole steering rack assembly and tie-rods/ends are the same from the 97-99' 2wd dakotas

12. The $80 Viper skip shift eliminator plug is the same as the $29 Chevy "version."

13. Headlight switch is European Ford.

14. the electric switch for the mirrors(gen I II) are the same as '97 grand cheerokee.

15. clutch pedal bushings: in inventory since 1979. The part number is 2-2467770

16. Steering column is a Dynasty part.

17. Foglamps are Audi.

18. HVAC controls, Ford. Same as '03 Mustang, '05 Excursion.

 

[dave6666]

The base of the door mirror is different than the Stealth. The part containing the actual mirror is the same. At least that's the conclusion I got from researching this here and also by looking at pics of parts on ebay.

Moral of story... Keep up the good work as all of this is great stuff but do your homework too.

 

[sdaddy]

Squeeze bulbs for the lumbar supports were $80 last time I checked. You can get an exact match at a medical supply store (they are blood pressure tester bulbs) for around $5.

 

[Sweet Ride]

Gen II front brake calipers cross to the 2000 Mustang Cobra R.

Wholesale price through Ford is less than $400/ea. They don't say "Viper" though as they are an off the shelf Brembo caliper.

How bout that? My 200th post was actually a (somewhat) useful piece of information...

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

I have purchased the Dakota inner tie rod and it needs to be shortened an inch or so. This can be done with a hacksaw, but then you'll need to get a die to add another inch of thread.

Therefore, I suspect the Dakota steering rack as a replacement might need some measuring before purchase also.

The Viper wiper has an electronic brain feature (the part that goes bad) so the left and right can tell the black box what position they are in. The minivan motor might be the same, but you'll need the electronic feature for Viper.

If anyone can confirm the Whole steering rack assembly and tie-rods/ends are the same from the 97-99' 2wd dakotas, I'd really appreciate it. My steering rack is leaking like a sieve, and Dodge just quoted me over $2K for a new one.

Rear diff is also howling, so any info on that would be greatly appreciated as well. I don't know if swapping out the gears will make any difference, as it was on my to-do list to get a bit more oomph.

Thanks, guys!

I am checking into the Dana 44 pumkin for my 2002 GTS. I want a spare with shorter gears, such as 3.55s or 3.73s. Preliminary information indicates the pumkin is the same as the one used in manual transmission C4's; but specific for years 1987-1994? I'll continue checking....

I am just getting ready for the new season here. Did some minor maintenance on the car: new intake filters, vented cowl, oil change, etc… Went to the Dealership today in hopes to get a new rubber pad for the brake pedal. Mine deteriorated and slides sometimes off the pedal. I found it dangerous, as metal pedal doesn’t have much grip. Only I was shocked to find out that it costs $87 + Tax. $98.31 for a $4 piece of rubber? WHAT???
Does anyone know if the rubber pad of the brake pedal is crossed referenced with any other one? Or the world is gone crazy?

 

[J&R3xV10]

I got a replacement for my brake pedal rubber pad from Jon B. Give him a call.

From what I understand the TB from the 08 is the same as the 5.7 hemi only there are two.
