    Recommended oil for heads/cam

    Internet Viper "oil experts" often recommend Mobil 1™ FS 0W-40 ("European Formula") since that was what Dodge recommended some time during the Gen 3 production, and it has one of the highest ZDDP (Zinc and Phosphorous) levels in their product line (lubricity additive component). Note that...

    94 low miles - knocking sound turning off engine

    It sounds like sheet metal. However; I would say that motor mount would be the number one suspect from those symptoms because it seems to have been a VERY COMMONLY reported failure in the past. The rubber ages out just like tires, except faster, I think, with the addition to 8 liters of engine...

    2005 won't start. Lots of testing can't find problem

    I looked at some of your previous posts and this one. It sounds like you have done a lot; including voltage measurements. One thing not mentioned in your summary post above is, do you know what are the components that are not getting battery voltage during the conditions when the car "won't...

    2000 Viper turns over - wont start P1389 Code

    As I read the schematics, 20 amp fuse 15 output goes to the PCM and the ASD relay. Then, when the ASD relay is activated, the output of fuse 15 is switched directly to the upstream O2 sensors and to the alternator and to the fuel injectors and to the coil packs, and to 15A fuse 1, which goes to...

    Viper Exchange Help

    I still didn't get it; but after some thought, I figured out that "TB" must be short for "Technical Service Bulletin." PM sent about the debris issue.

    Viper Exchange Help

    What is a TB warning test? PS, The issue that you are probably referring to with the bearing comment would be the R28 recall testing for selected 2013-2014 Vipers. Recently an insider commented on another forum as to what the debris actually was. Not casting sand as I also thought from...

    New Viper owner with Questions- 2001 ACR

    Jon at PartsRack would be your best bet at finding a dash badge; other than going to the several Viper Facebook Groups and asking whether someone has one stashed away in a drawer waiting for the market to peak. :) P.S., The clear separator thing is some vendor's aftermarket accessory. Not stock

    01/02 GTS or ACR

    I do not think that a Gen 2 ACR has the kind of extra value that Gen 4 and 5 ACRs have unless it is a very low mile, stock example. By now, many have had their shock absorbers replaced because they tend to leak and rebuild cost is expensive and if they have already been rebuilt, that doesn't...

    Oil Filter 2008 SRT

    The reason appears to be the same as for quite a few internet dealers of Mopar parts. There is no oil filter at all currently listed in their online database for a 2008 Viper. Probably, due to the item not being available in their supply chain, it was removed from some database that these...

    A missing piece in the engine cooling system

    Just send an email to the address listed in the link that you posted. Send exactly what you posted here. I suspect that they are used to serving folks who aren't good at English. Just let them know that. Your post is clear enough. They will know whether that part is available new any more (I...

Note that the manual is referring to the US way of rating gasoline...

    What is shown on the Registry

    Have you run a CARFAX report? It will have some historical information. It might even have the selling dealer listed.
