    How does Maxcare work when selling or trading in your car?

    I bought a maxcare package for my gts earlier. I know you can transfer it once to the new buyer, but what happens if you sell it to a dealer? When the dealer sells the car does the remaining warranty transfer over onto the new buyer? Thanks folks.

    Are Gen II wheels clearcoated?

    I have a '97 GTS (I believe these are forged vs. the cast ones from the '96) and was just wondering whether our 17" stockers came clearcoated from the factory or not. Anyone know?

    Are GTS wheels clearcoated?

    Anyone know whether the GTS wheels (I have a '97) came from the factory clearcoated? Mine seem kinda "swirly". I want to polish them, but am not sure what to use....metal polish or swirl mark remover. I don't want to accidently remove the clear coat by using abrasive metal polishers. Thanks folks!

    Is my engine running too hot?

    Yup. Did a search and learned alot, but I just wanted to clarify (since the only numbers on my '97 GTS are 100, 190 & 250). I just burped my car, but I'm going to redo it again just in case....my observations are: Car runs great. Starts up, and runs like a champ. When cruising on the...

    Any tips or tricks to tranny/diff. maintenance?

    I'm about to go to my buddy/mechanic's place tomorrow morning to do the fluid maintenance on my '97 GTS. I bought all the recommended fluids. I'll be using his hydraulic jack and tools. I'm armed with stuff I've read here and the service manual. I was just wondering whether you guys have any...

    Castrol Syntorque?

    I picked some up at the dealer...they didn't know what I was talking about when I asked for "Castrol Syntorque"...luckily I had the MOPAR number...I just wanted to make sure I got the right one. I couldn't find the words "Castrol Syntorque" anywhere on the label. Bottle looked like any other...

    Where to buy EBC greens?

    Howdy folks. I'm going to need some new brake pads...whome can I order the EBC greens from? I saw them on Partsrack, but wasn't sure whether the price was for a set of just the fronts or the rears or etc (both showed up to be around $70...I didn't realize they are the same price). Thanks, guys!

    So I guess Michelins are my only choice now.....

    I tried looking for options for my '97 GTS (Kumhos, Toyo's etc), and it seems that Michelins (and P-Zeros) are the only company that has street tires for our cars. Is this true, Luke?

    What's your choice of fluids?

    What\'s your choice of fluids? Howdy folks, I'm trying to get an update on fluid choices for our Vipers. I have a '97 GTS, and will be replacing the fluids shortly. I have the service manual, but I thought I'd check up with VCA incase there have been any breakthroughs in fluid choices. For the...

    Anyone with stock 17" running Toyo's?

    Anyone with stock 17\" running Toyo\'s? I'm thinking of picking up a set of Toyo RA-1 for my '97 GTS since alot of folks like them, but I don't think (atleast according to their website) they make em for the 17". Anyone here have them on their early GTS?

    Where can I purchase a service manual? ('97 GTS)

    Where can I purchase a service manual? (\'97 GTS) Thought that this would be the best way to figure my way around the Viper. Does anyone know whether doing the maintenance yourself will void the warranty? (What if I keep reciepts and records) Thanks folks! :cool:

    How much would a dealer charge?

    I want to take my '97 GTS in to change all fluids (except oil) and get my brakes done (replace pads). I usually do my own maintenance on cars, but I don't want to void the warranty (will doing my own stuff void it?). Does anyone have a ball park figure?

    Valve chatter normal?

    Howdy, I don't know whether this is normal of the Viper engine or not...the car is still new to me, and as I'm getting used to driving it, I'll start noticing more and more sounds. One noise I've noticed are the valves. During idle, I can hardly hear them...I can mostly hear them when I'm...

    Screeching sound when accelerating?

    ...and I'm not talking about the tires either. :p I have a '97 GTS with 8100 miles on it. I know I have to get my brakes done (squeal when coming to a stop), but I wonder if they're also responsible for the similar sound when I step on it. I'm not talking about a full "pedal to the metal"...

    So what are my tire choices now?

    Howdy. Just got my 100% stock '97 GTS, but I believe I'll be needing new tires soon. I'll have to double check the "Born On" date, but I think they might be the originals. I've read that they've discontinued the Kumhos. Apart from the OEM Mich. what are my other "streetable" tires? Thanks. -Mel

    Proper way for closing hood?

    Just thought I'd get prepared before I get my Viper. I was wondering whether you guys can give me some pointers on the proper way of closing the hoods?
