    production numbers?

    It would also be interesting to know how many total Gen 2 body styles are like mine that were ever produced. In other words, all red with silver stripes.

    production numbers?

    Anyone know anything about the missing 1999 information by the way? It would be nice to see that information filled in. Is that not something the liason can do with contacts from Dodge? I have a 1999 GTS that's red with silver stripes. It would be nice if I could narrow it down a bit. I see 699...

    Surging at low speed (under specific instance)...anyone else have this?

    Thanks Steve (and others). I spent some time driving it today. It is actually a noticeable 1st gear thing, not 2nd. My memory didn't hold up. It does in 2nd maybe just a tiny bit under an exact moment, but it's really in 1st gear and is between 1,000 and 1,500 rpms. I'm glad to know this is...

    Surging at low speed (under specific instance)...anyone else have this?

    Question for other gen 2 owners... is there a point at low rpm in a low gear where your viper "surges" a bit? I'm talking a very specific instance that has to be just right, now under normal driving circumstances. Allow me to setup my scenario... when I'm cruising at just the right speed and...

    Sub Woofer Installation & Side Gills

    All, I'm considering installation some subwoofers in the right and left "pockets" in the truck. First question is, does this create a problem? I know that is where the "gills" are for the truck. If I remember correctly they are just pressure relief valves of sorts for when you close the...

    Gas monkey event

    I'm going. It's a short drive from Austin, TX for me though! Looking forward to it. There are a few folks from the Austin area going. Plenty of Dallas people no doubt.

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    Mopar Steve... is this the tool you're referring to? http://www.napaonline.com/Catalog/CatalogItemDetail.aspx/Disc-Brake-Caliper-Tool-Set-Great-Neck-Tool/_/R-BK_7768024_0379558298 Frankly, I'd rather by a kit that has multiple available in case down the road I need some variant. The damn miller...

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    So the consensus is to just keep an eye out on EBAY? I haven't seen anyone post about where I might be able to find this tool online, and it sounds like the "any automotive store" option isn't likely to have the right one that will actually work.

    P.S. If someone can point me to where I can buy it, that would be great.

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    Gents, So I have to twist WHILE pushing in? The tool it showed looks basically like it twists itself in. I assume if you have to twist AND push it in, then it must be easy to push it while twisting and I won't need something like a c-clamp right?? Or am I going to have to do some sort of...

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    So I was flipping through my service manual the other day, and I noted that according to it, there is a special tool required to set back the rear brakes in place during a brake pad replacement. First question, is it just the rear brakes or the fronts also? Second question, do I really...

    Viper runs hot when sitting in traffic

    I'll try to remember to get a picture of the Viper Diagnostic manual tonight when I get home. The temperature you're experiencing is in normal operating temperature range for a scenario or two. I'll take the picture and post it. If for example, you're sitting in traffic on a hot day, that type...

    Gear and speedo calibration

    3.73 gears in the Viper have got to be just ape **** nuts! I'm impressed. Can you even idle in the rain or do you just spin your tires? lol. By the way if you want to do some quick and dirty calculations you can use this website to determine what you speed should be at a given RPM, then you...
