    Odd Battery Behavior

    Got it fully charged with the Battery Tender and took it to Autozone for the free test. Bad battery. Still unclear to me why it seemed stronger when the motor was cold, but I'll just have to live with the mystery. Thanks to all who replied.

    Odd Battery Behavior

    When my '94 is cold, she starts up fine -- battery feels/sounds strong, like new. But if the car is warm -- say sitting in a parking lot for an hour -- the car struggles to start with what sounds like a weak battery. It is able to turn over the motor once or twice, but it barely catches and...

    Gen 1 Overflow tank flushing/system bleeding

    I am about to replace the OEM hoses on my '94 with the silicone kind. Would you mind elaborating on "another level of care and 'adjustments'?"

    Who Made These Radiator Air-Bleeder Valves?

    Several years back I bought these two bleeder valves that make burping the coolant system on my Gen 1 much easier. One installs in a hose at the high point of the system on the passenger side, and the other on the driver side near the power steering fluid reservoir. Unfortunately I discarded...

    New Gen 1 Owner 1993 RT/10! Smog

    I replaced the stock accordion-style intake tubes on my '94 with the "smooth tubes" and they wouldn't pass me because they did not have a "CARB ID" on them. My solution was to move out of California.

    Gen 1 Questions (fog lights and parts)

    Good questions about the bulbs. The original headlight bulbs and fog light bulbs on my '94 are still working, but I know they won't last forever and would be interested in replacing the headlights with high intensity bulbs if they are available for the Gen 1.

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    Gen 1 driver's side door pull/handle (have also seen this described as "door latch remote control"). Not sure of the part number. Mine is still working to open the door, but the spring that pulls the handle back into its recessed position gave out. Passenger side is available from a few...

    Best Gen1 Top-Window Combination?

    My '94 RT/10 is stuck in the past. I got a free black Mopar factory hard-top when I signed up for VOI 2. It's a pain in the neck to install/remove, but it still works fine. I also have a pair of sliding glass windows made by a company called Northwind Engineering that I purchased in 1995 for...

    viper mechanic new orleans

    Mike at Prestige Auto Works in Slidell does the "super performance mods" you're not looking for, but I was happy with the basic maintenance/repairs he did on my '94. 985-259-4727

    Hidden "HISSSSSS!!" sticker found in my 1994

    Found this sticker in the passenger side door panel as I was replacing the speaker. Date Built is the only legible item, "6-13-94" hand written in blue ink. The other items -- Built By, Date Inspected, and Inspected By -- are too dirt- and water-damaged to be legible, sadly. Thought it was...

    Gen 1 Seats -- Driver's Side and Passenger Side interchangable?

    Greetings, Are the driver side and passenger side seats in a Gen 1 interchangable? My driver's side seat is really deteriorating, and I'd like extend its life by switching them out and making the driver's side the (rarely used) passenger side seat. Forum search yields some discussions about...

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    Dan, did you ever find a source for the sending unit? I'm getting wild fluctuations of my gauge all of a sudden so I think I'll need this part soon... JR Red '94, 109,000 miles

    San Diego: Found Viper Keys (Rancho Bernardo)

    Not sure if this is the appropriate place for this or not, but here goes... A set of Viper keys was turned into the High Country West (San Diego/Rancho Bernardo) community club recently. I am told they were found at the soccer field/dog park on Lofty Trail Drive a few weeks ago, and nobody...
