A portable battery pack is preferable to a running donor car in terms of avoiding damage to either car.
The NOCO battery packs that I have seen are labeled 1000 -3000 amps...which should be enough.
But, if you have a bad battery (regardless of age), the best thing to do is to change it to a...
If I understand your post correctly, my first question concerns the status of the car's battery. Did you fully charge the battery? If so, did you test the battery voltage to see the level of charge?
Did you replace the battery with a new, tested battery? Did the car run when you first got it or...
In my opinion, the safest and easiest way is to connect a portable battery jumper pack under the hood at the designated positive and ground jump posts...as outlined in the owners manual (particularly on 1993.5 through 2002 Vipers where direct access to the battery is not available). Just...
I certainly agree with you,FoxyChicken...removing that cover can be a real bear...especially in an emergency. The excessively LONG bolts are open to corrosion due to their unshielded position...PLUS, the bolts being Torx head type only adds to the difficulties.
Some may ask "what emergency" ...
StumpDDS, nice install!!
if you have not already done it, you might want to consider putting heat shields on underhood wires, hoses ( even rubber boots on ball joints)...especially O2 sensor wiring and clutch hydraulic line to name a couple.
It's interesting just how many calls I get per year...
Sorry, I did not receive an email from you.

axelererafond, when I posted my response to you, I had not noticed that you are located in France. You have my apologies.
If it is better for you, contact me by email and describe exactly what the problem is with your Viper. I may be able to help via email once I better understand your...
I do not do PM's on forums since with so many lines of communication coming in, it is easy for me to miss one. As noted above, my telephone works fine...both for texts and talk. Feel free to call me at the number listed above. If it goes to voicemail, I will get back with you shortly.
Looking...
Certainly, Dave !!
I have had the pleasure of speaking with several of your countrymen in the past on this issue. Hopefully, we can achieve both a short term and a long term solution.
Best regards,

Just to be clear, I use my DRB III with a Super Card 2 to read and clear codes on our 1995 Viper. Its OBD I port is under the hood, on passenger side at the PCM. The plug is more square...and looks nothing like the more familiar OBD II port. This setup takes a different cable which is a...
You will usually get numbers all over the map on a forum. Try Hagerty. Look at the most recent auctions.
Also, run a CARFAX since they state a retail price at the top of the report...and you vehicle is still within their date requirements for said value.
Good luck !
