    TT Viper - Synthetic or Non-Synthetic Oil

    Use a name brand full synthetic, no question. My Gen III specs 0W-40, Mobil 1 was factory fill. I am using this wt oil in my DD Mopars that spec'd 10w-30 to simplify things. For non-Vipers that have cylinder deactivation, stick with the viscosity the manuals specify for proper operation.

    Have the discussions on the VCA site gone to hell?

    This forum was the subject of conversation with a VCA member, who is held in high regard by the Forums and SRT just yesterday, at our local VCA meeting. He is a true professional in all ways and has helped out so many people there is no way to count them. However, these are my thoughts...

    Quick Release SRT-10 Battery Cover / Battery Tender Connector

    Doug, Regarding the DSE battery cover installation project, I had noticed the OEM cover was allowing fine dust to by-pass the factory seal material. The carpet insert on my Coupe has some kind of "flexible" backing as opposed to raw carpet. It needed to be cleaned to make sure it didn't scratch...

    Quick Release SRT-10 Battery Cover / Battery Tender Connector

    As it was time to replace the battery, it was the right time to install a DSE battery cover plate. With my coupe, the 1/4 turn fasteners snugged up in the trial fitting and required no further adjustment to fit with the plate. The final step was to tighten them up via wrench. Nice part...

    Is SSG worth all the BS?

    The SSG is a favorite of mine, really would like to have it. Just wondered if I would ever get tired of it. VV Orange is fantastic too. I like them with or without stripes. Good luck finding the perfect fit. The Wheels do make a difference in the overall look. However, that too is...

    Mobil 1 oil filter vs Mopar Viper spec

    I can assure you that Dick Winkles understands oil and filter performance. When he speaks I listen.

    front bumper emblems???

    Have you checked with the Viper Parts of America? I have seen several colors available and it helps the VCA too when we buy from them. Great service.

    What I would you have done to the Gen V Viper that dodge didn't.

    I do not look at this as SRT messed up in any fashion. They redesinged the entire SRT product line after re-structuing the company in record time. The new 8.4L has stronger internals with increased HP and Torque. To certify the car for 50 state emissions there has to be a drop dead date ahead...

    2006 Coupe positive battery terminal

    The Clamp End is not available separately from Mopar. (I have seen those "lead free" type clamps at O'Reilly's. Almost the same as the OEM terminal). Viper Parts of America has a negative battery cable assembly for $12.95. The cable is very short and has the terminal with it so the cost is low...

    My dealer was able to cut a key from a Mopar Blank for me, worked great. Hopefully yours has that capability also.
