    Gen 1 oil fill cap 0-ring size?

    Has anyone replaced the o-ring on a Gen 1 ratcheting oil fill cap? The cap part number is 4621 875. Mine is hard as a rock and leaks down the rocker cover on the manifold and block. My o-ring, that is. Measurements of the old one are roughly 1.225" ID, 1.395" OD and depending on the...

    Gen 1 Gen 2 fog lamps for $45

    I commute 104 miles/day and the winter road repairs leave lots of asphalt pieces on the road. Took a hit in the fog lamp, which had been cracked for a long time. I removed the unit by unscrewing the tiny bolts for the front fascia in the wheelwell and pried open the area behind the fog lamp...

    New Mopar Oil Change business

    And so much comes down to marketing, doesn't it? Anyway, FYI: Chrysler Edges Into Fast-lube Biz Answers: 1) Yes, I'm sure the PZ Synthetic is fine. 2) The 5W40 grade is fine. 3) Shell = Pennzoil = Quaker State 4) SOPUS = Shell Oil Products US 5) Shell Rotella 15W40 and 5W40 are good...

    Gen 1 coolant hose warning

    I had a temperature gauge that read too low and finally resulted in a jumpy needle, so I decided to replace the sensor (it was broken) and change the coolant. While doing so, I noticed the hose from the water pump to the passenger side metal tube had been worn to the cords by flexing upwards at...

    Commuting Viper, dark nights, high beams...

    I know this has been brought up before, just wondering if anyone has found a "best" idea. With daylight savings my commute home is mostly in the dark and too many others have 1) Jeep/truck with HIDs that tailgate (and yes, too much traffic to get away) 2) Granny lost or can't see unless high...

    100K, finally

    My green '94 RT, bought from Canada in '98 with a metric speedo. At 34,150 KM (21,344 miles) I swapped speedometers and the replacement had 7,056 showing. To reach 100K, I had to get to 100,000-21,344+7,056=85,712 miles. Did it this week, 86,080 showing. Now that I have a 50 mile one-way mile...

    One-time offer; powdercoated 40mm calipers same price

    I had a customer order 40mm rear calipers, they were disassembled and properly powdercoated, but then (no questions asked) he lost his Viper. So I have the powdercoated calipers back, will reassemble them (so I know they will be in fine shape) and sell them for the normal $700 (plus $18 shipping...

    A poll in honor of Dave

    We haven't had something to wake Dave up in a while, so it must be time for another useless poll about beer, light bulbs, or ex-girlfriends. So here goes... trying to think of the most useless thing to ask... OK! Is your Viper the oldest car, newest car, or a middle car of your fleet? If it...

    Question for Tom, F&L GoR about factory fill oil

    Number eleventeen in the series. Names are changed to protect the innocent. Re: Mobile One If that were true, there would be tons of Better Business Bureau complaints about false advertising, since Mobil put their logo on the oil fill cap for several years and published magazine...

    Wanted: cheap Gen 1 half shaft

    My '94 with almost 100K makes a crunch noise somewhere in the rear axles(s) upon driveaway. No vibration, it is not u-joints, drives and behaves fine, so I'm relegated to exchanging parts until the noise goes away. The only sloppy part I can locate are the splines internal to the right side...

    I have disassembled a Gen 1 headlight that was functionally fine, but unusable due to a cloudy, yellowed lens. In the following posts I'll outline how to do it. Mine were pretty bad; thanks to almost-neighbor viper067 for saving his from the body shop.

    good price for rear calipers on eBay

    There is a pair of stock non-ABS rear calipers on the auction website (title has "BOTH SIDES WITH HOSES!!") that is relatively inexpensive with two days left and would be ideal core returns for a caliper upgrade. PS The calipers fit nicely inside the USPS Priority Mail medium size flat rate...

    Anybody move from 17" to 18" wheels for tire cost and availability; not appearance?

    Over the years I've accumulated 17" rims and tires and because I have a tire machine, it's no big deal to switch, flip side to side, or replace tires. But before looking for the next set I'm asking for opinions and experience from anyone that moved to 18" wheels just because they found 18" tires...

    "The" Daily Driver

    I am an advocate of driving Vipers as much as possible. Many of you have a performance target that reaches to fourple digit horsepower or XXX MPH. I did some track events, some autocross, but now my target is a commuter car. To each their own, right? My Gen 1 came with a 3" exhaust and after...

    One of those hard-to-find sport bar pads for sale

    Mine. I have a hardtop now and won't be going back. The pad is in good shape (never saw a "bad" one) and will take whatever pictures you want - it's kinda long and skinny for an overall picture. Or call me 845 at 235 this 6392 number (clever way to avoid spam?!) Gen 1 Sport Bar Pad -...
