    anybody have an engine they want to sell

    I've got an '05 engine that spun a bearing at 36000 miles. I don't know the extent of damage to the block, but it's otherwise complete, and it has a fair share of salvageable components.

    Just bought and broken already

    Here's my attempt to (hopefully) make you feel better about your debacle: I bought my 2005 in May of this year. Like you, I put too much faith in its durability and failed to purchase an extended warranty (like you, I was driving a Japanese sports car before the purchase). Within 2 weeks, I...

    Home link transmitter

    Couldn't you simply buy a rearview mirror with Homelink equipped? You'd probably even get the auto-dimming feature as well.

    Another Freakin' Noise

    Over the past several days, my '05 has developed a rattling noise that clearly eminates from the transmission tunnel. What makes it odd is that it isn't consistent with RPM or any particular gear. In 1st or 2nd, is seems to come on after about 2500 RPM. In all other gears, it starts around...

    Finally found a perfect head unit!

    Got the iPod interface cable in mine, and I can't imagine ever going back. It allows me to operate the iPod from the nav system, it displays title/artist/track, and it charges the little fellow too. Much cheaper than an elaborate new head unit. Going to get one in my wife's car next.

    Finally! My '05 is Back On the Road!

    Many of you will remember my post several weeks ago that outlined my many tribulations that started immediately after I purchased a used '05 from a dealership in Minneapolis. Only 2 weeks after I returned to Illinois, it spun a bearing, and I was in for an engine swap. Due to my limited...

    Good choice. Grab a hair dryer and soften the glue.

    My Viper Ownership Experience ***** So Far - Need Some Words of Encouragement

    Revitalizing the post gives me a chance to provide a quick update on my findings: Upon removing the LH cylinder head, I discovered the exhaust valve seat protruding about 3/16" out of the bottom. I'm waiting for a new head gasket from Viper Specialty Performance, and then I'll reassemble...

    Cylinder Head Torque?

    I've got a manual on the way, but I think I'll have my new head gasket first. I did a static check on the other head and came up with ~55 FT Lb/100 Nm. I don't like the potential for error, so I could use some help. Anybody?

    My Viper Ownership Experience ***** So Far - Need Some Words of Encouragement

    In retrospect, I felt that the technician that I was dealing with at the beginning (no longer with the organization) was not totally committed to my best interests, and it left me with a bad taste in my mouth. As obstacles continued to mount, I became more and more irritated. Upon arriving...
