    Gen 2 rear ball joint replacement.

    I'm looking at replacing the old rear ball joints (both upper and lower) without having to purchase the control arms. I tried RockAuto and came up blank. Any options that do not involve Viper tax? I searched the forum but did not find a conclusive answer. I'm hoping someone has done this since...

    Engine seems to lose revs and dies at idle.

    So I got the snake out of hibernation and now the engine seems to lose revs when I'm idling or slowing down at a stop light and then dies. Diagnosis so far: The battery does not seem to be the problem as it is fully charged and only 6 months old. The alternator doesn't seem to be a problem...

    Serpentine belt and power steering pulley.

    My serpentine belt got ripped up yesterday and I replaced it with Dayco PolyRib Belt. 2 questions: 1. Any comments on this belt. It's V lines are not as pronounced as the OEM belt which is backordered from Chrysler. 2. My power steering pulley was wobbly. Is this normal? In the short time I had...

    Rear hatch unglued on my GTS, again!

    What glue do I use for the hinge on the top edge? Also, the latch hook got unglued too. :mad: The glass shops don't seem to know too well either. I have tried different glass shops and come up with different answers. I am quite familiar with the problem since it has happened forever with the GTS...

    Differential fluid/drain plug question.

    I was going to change the differential fluid and was wondering which one to use? Mopar 75W140 + 4oz friction modifier, or Mobil 1 75W190 (includes friction modifier), or Royal Purple 75W140 (includes friction modifier) What do most DIYers do? I did a search but couldn't find anything...

    Tire mounting in Fairfield County, CT.

    I've not had new tires since I moved to CT but it's that time again. Any recommendation on a tire mounting shop in Fairfield County that will not harm the rims. I will be taking the wheels to them.

    Power steering is too tight.

    My GTS' power steering feels non-existant AT TIMES. But that's the keyword: AT TIMES. I have changed the fluid and the problem has not gone away. This has existed for a long time now but of late, it's gotten really bad. It's worse in slow speed turns (parking lots, exit ramps) but now it's been...

    Locking and unlocking the GTS

    I saw a lot of key fob threads lately and here's mine finally. For more than a decade, my Viper key fob has given me a nervous breakdown everytime I need to use it. :dunno: Either it will give me a hard time locking or a hard time unlocking. To be specific, while standing within 5 feet of the...

    Car stalled on the highway...

    My 97 GTS stalled on the highway during my morning commute. Not once but twice. It stalled when I got off the gas from 65mph because of rush hour traffic ahead. I did a rolling start and continued on fine until the next backup and it happened again. The problem occured twice the 1st 10 miles and...

    Can this hurt the Viper Wizard.

    I hope this doesn't affect Chuck Tator. :mad: His dealership has been family run since 1914 and while it is not high volume, it's a great asset to the Viper community. If he is affected, I'm starting a signature petition. Chrysler considers branding overhaul - Nov. 16, 2007 Chrysler mulls...

    K&N or S&B?

    After 10 years of having a totally stock GTS, I'm doing my first upgrade: air filters. I have 25K miles and the old one was just pathetic. Seeing it over the weekend was a shocker to me. It was all caked in oily crap my engine was an asthamatic for sure. :nono: Anyway, my question is which...

    Parking lot jitters.

    I drive my GTS to the mall, groceries, Costco, etc. Since it is small and low, it usually ends up hidden besides some SUV or minivan. So after shopping, when I'm heading back to the car, I get these jitters because I can't spot it until I'm really close. It's like, "Some :curse: has stolen...

    Which scan tool for a Viper.

    I'd like to buy an OBD-II scan tool that does more than read and erase codes. It should display lots of runtime parameters. I currently have the basic Actron CP-9125 model. Which brand/model do you use and recommend?

    Good paint shop.

    I'm looking to get my front fascia painted again. I didn't like the last place I used because the stripes were not masked properly. Any recommendations in the NY/NJ metro area?

    My 97 threw a code P0132. Help!

    1. Is P0132, "O2 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1)"? 2. Can I erase it and see if it shows up again? 3. Do I have to change the O2 sensor? I was heading out to Long Island tomorrow morning for a 150-200 mile roundtrip. Should I cancel?

    Only 75 out of 200 RSVPs showed up at Tator's. (Photos)

    Only 75 out of 200 RSVPs showed up at Tator\'s. (Photos) The guy works so hard to get the event going, shuts down the shop for a week and only 37% show up. That's 125 RSVPs who decided that the rain was too bad. What rain? It was absolutely dry. I can understand a 25% or 35% number but 65% is...

    Le Mans style center fog lights.

    I'm thinking of installing the Le Mans style center fog lights and was wondering how to go about it. Does anybody sell those front bumpers or does a body shop cut and shape it similar to the stock fog lights. Any help would be appreciated.

    Differential failures and what to do about it.

    I've been seeing more than one post on differential failures on the Gen III forum. Most people complain that DC does not recognize it. I suggest using the following link and if the government thinks there is sufficient reason to initiate a recall, then all you Gen III guys should be happy. The...
