    First Oil Change

    Re: Future Oil Changes??? I have been using 15W-50 Mobil 1 for 6 months now. Really quiets the valve train when hot. I'm in the PNW and generally don't drive during winter, so cold weather start up is not an issue for me Gerald

    Valve noise normal?

    I changed the oil to 15W-50 Mobil 1 yesterday night and drove the car to work and back today. No doubt, the heavier oil does make a difference. Hot idle oil pressure is now noticeably higher (around 40-45psi on the gauge) and the valve train is much quieter. I guess I'll be using 15W-50 from...

    Valve noise normal?

    There is no noise when the oil is cold, so I don't think it is the injectors. I remember my gen 2 Viper had 10W-30 Mobil 1. Could it be that 0W-40 is just too thin when hot for push rod engine to keep tappets fully inflated? S ome people suggested using 15W-50 Mobil 1. So I went out and...

    Valve noise normal?

    I have an 05 SRT-10 with 1400 miles now. Ever since new, the valve train on this car is very loud after it is warmed up. At a cold start I have absolutely no valve noise - very smooth. Once the engine warms up I have very loud clicking / tapping. Sounds like a sewing machine just much louder and...

    Seat Lowering Kit

    Pretty straightforward if you are talking about the Northwind kit.No special tools but replace the wire link between the two rails that comes with the kit with something sturdier. Use search to see examples

    PCM in the car.WANT theP4510172 racing unit.

    Does it have to be your Viper or any Viper? I'm getting the updated PCM from DC and my understanding is he can program it with my VIN and miles without having my car

    Is build up needed for front of 1’’ seat lowering kit?

    No build up needed. However, if you are using Northwind's kit, I'd replace the thin wire spring that goes between the rails to adjust seat position. It is not strong enough. If you search there are several ways to improve on the design. I used a heavy duty wire with a turnbuckle. Works like a charm

    CrossOver VS. X-Pipe on my SRT10?

    I installed the Mopar/Borla performance street exhaust yesterday. I was planning to leave the cross over in place but had to take the bottom plate off to loosen cross over to remove stock muffler. After I saw all the piping I just decided to take it off. I have been pleasantly surprised by the...

    Need help/pointers removing side sills

    Thanks for all the tips. I finally got them off using a 10mm wrench with flanges ground back. I also had to tie a string to it as I lost a couple of wrenches down the vent... If I ever have to do it again, I'll go the front fender well route. I intended to leave the cross-over but since I...

    Need help/pointers removing side sills

    I'm installing Mopar exhaust and am trying to take off the sills. Piece of cake for most fasteners but I'm having a real problem getting to the 2nd 10mm nut in the side vent. The one that is all the way forward against the wheel well. There is just not enough room to swing even a small wrench...

    Feedback on the DC Performance computer reflash

    I have been following this thread with interest. How do I get the new engine controller? Is this the same as the Mopar performance unit?

    CrossOver VS. X-Pipe on my SRT10?

    I'm facing the same issue: straight out the side or continue to use cross over. Don't like the sound of the factory exhaust at higher rpm. Just bought the Mopar performance street exhaust and will install this morning. I'll start out with the cross over in place and drive it for a while. If not...

    SRT-10 for Tall driver?

    I'm 6' 4", 220lb. I used to have a 98 RT-10 that I drove with the factory seat arrangement for 7 years. No complaints. The SRT-10 has slightly more room. So after I removed the sunblinds, I could drive my SRT-10 ok even with soft top up. However, I read many good things about the 1" seat...

    Borla exhaust on 06 coupe

    A video or audio clip would be great. I was considering the Borla with factory cross overs as well but wonder if they make a big improvement over factory. How long did it take to install?

    Just traded in my 98 RT/10 for 05 yellow SRT-10

    After 2 days, I have some mixed feelings. My 98 RT-10 was perfect (7200miles, not a scratch). My new SRT-10 is certainly more refined - it comes with a real convertible top and I can actually take it out for a spin with rain clouds in the sky - which is pretty much 9 months of the year here in...
