    Really sad day

    Well, next Saturday I have to make a large sacrifice and sell my 1994 Viper. Too many new bills and too many small children to have enough fun anyway. Got a fairly decent price for her (about 1k less than what I paid almost 2 years ago.) Strange thing is that this is going to Estonia. I can...

    What other repairs would you recommend?

    Good ideas. Because it is so hot in Florida, I have been thinking of putting a lower temp thermostat. I will have to do a search about a 998/999 recall to see if that applies. As for Mike at Ulms Dodge, he is the one who changed my fluids out, hmmmmm. I think I'll call Larry.

    I have only been in there twice and can't remember his name at the moment, but it is at Jerry Ulm's Dodge on Dale Mabry Hwy.

    What other repairs would you recommend?

    The drive belt is a great idea. I changed all fluids and tires about 6k ago. When does the clutch usually need work on the gen I's. Anybody have any positives or negatives about Macedo's shop/ Should I just get this done with my Viper tech at my local Dodge dealer?

    What other repairs would you recommend?

    I have a 94RT with 25k miles. Never had the new head gaskets. No problems so far but I do not want to wait for them. Was thinking about having the gaskets changed, maybe by Macedo in Orlando. What other things would you have done at the same time. I am looking for reasonably affordable...

    Anyone here in the Stucco business?

    That is because humidity and termites here rot wood in no time. Cinderblock and stucco is also more energy efficient in this environment. But I agree - I do miss the homes of New England.

    Ya can't even sell something in the VCA classifieds without a SCAM

    Re: Ya can\'t even sell something in the VCA classifieds without a SCAM I think you are on to something. It might be quite a deterrent if they were lead on every time they tried to scam a VCA member. They would deem it too much work for the one person who might be suckered if they had to mail...

    Who can I trust? Rear Frame recall, near Tampa FL???

    Dave, I have been to Jerry Ulm a few times over the last year with my 94RT. I have not had major work done, just changing all the fluids, tune-up, adjusting throttle bodies, etc. They charge like a dealer (I was able to get them to come down significantly on tires when I showed them prices...

    ANOTHER VIPER HATE ATTACK

    Bleeding heart liberal? Have no doubt, I would have been enraged and thrown every bit of my 6'4" 235lbs on anyone I caught in the act. It is difficult to take oneself back, however, and realize that in the end they lost something more valuable. They still deserve yo be punished.

    ANOTHER VIPER HATE ATTACK

    I know how you feel. I have 2 key attacks. a 2 incher on the drivers door and a 4 incher on the front hood. i have touched up both myself becasue I just can't justify a couple grand to repaint the entire hood and door. But it does make me wince a bit when I see them up close. Mostly, I feel...

    Tiny radiating cracks

    Lots of sun on my dash, and not a crack near those areas (you got me paranoid so I ran out and checked). Sorry to hear it. If it happened to me here in Tampa, I would go to Gene Perez and see what fix he recommended.
