    Those look really sharp. Concave wheels are my favorite.

    Is my Alternator dieing?

    Another Update: I installed another new OEM Denso alternator and got the same result. I took it to my local Viper Tech and they hooked up the DRB to it and said that it was "within the range it was supposed to be". However, 12.5v with the lights on cannot be correct from my understanding. I...

    Is my Alternator dieing?

    Update: I swapped out the alternator finally. It wasn't too hard at all. I tested the voltage coming out of the alternator at idle, at it was 13.4v (up .5v from old alternator) with the newer alternator. Unfortunately, it didn't fix my problem. If I turn my lights on, my battery voltage drops...

    Help with Alternator plug :)

    Thanks SquadXX. I probably should've done that from the beginning. Oh well...the newer alternator appears to be in much better condition than mine. I am almost tempted to remove the back plate off the alternators and see if the plug component can be swapped, haha. I was hoping to get the viper...

    Help with Alternator plug :)

    Thanks for the reply Tom. This was Nancy Stein's car. Any idea why it has a 92-97 alternator on it? Is this jumper harness the short cable that comes out the back?

    Help with Alternator plug :)

    Hi, I posted a few days ago about having a problem with my alternator. I purchased one from eBay that stated it was for 97-02 vipers. I took my alternator out today and noticed that the plug in the back was different. Pictured below is the eBay on on the left and mine on the right. Ugggggh. Did...

    Is my Alternator dieing?

    Update 2: Now that the LeMans excitement is over, I went out and re-probed. Voltage at the alternator is 12.9v during idle...grounded with the ground bolt below 6 inches away Voltage at post on driver side 12.6v. I don't have any safety wire on hand to increase the length of my probes to...

    Is my Alternator dieing?

    Update: I took a volt meter to the post under the hood by the PDC. The car has been sitting on the battery tender since this morning. With the car off and battery tender disconnected, I get 13.7v. With the car started and idling 12.6v. With the headlights on 12.0v. I turned the lights back off...

    Is my Alternator dieing?

    I have a 2001 RT/10 with 21K miles. I've owned it since February and have put 2K miles on it. I have had a bunch of little issued with it and I am thinking they are all relating back to a failing alternator. I figured I would post on here to see what you all think. Volt gauge is always...

    CAD/CAM Viper Lamp

    Check out this cool Viper lamp my dad made for me. It was made using a CAD/CAM plasma cutter, router, and vinyl cutter. It is hard to tell from the pictures, but all the cutouts are set in to give a a cool 3D look. It is amazing what some creativity and compute know-how can create! I have a...

    Can a weak battery cause the cooling fan to not operate?

    Update: I had the battery tender on the Viper for a couple of days and got the "green" light. The fan still seems to only work sometimes. I drove around and the temperature increased to 220...no fan. I parked it and came back 5 minutes later and started it up temp at 180 and the fan came on. I...

    Nice! Now that is some torque! I also think that is the first time I have seen an F40 do a burnout, haha. Thanks for the link.

    Can a weak battery cause the cooling fan to not operate?

    Thanks for the reply! The issue is, I don't have a readily available AC outlet to plug my battery tender in where my car is. I ended up going out and buying a large deep cycle battery and inverter to keep her juiced up. I only had it on the tender for 2 hours yesterday via the built in inverter...

    Can a weak battery cause the cooling fan to not operate?

    Just a quick update....I let her sit on the battery tender for a couple of hours and then took her out for a 50 mile cruise, trying to keep the RPMS between 2-3k. The radiator fan is running like a champ. I guess she will be kept sippin on the battery tender for the future.

    Can a weak battery cause the cooling fan to not operate?

    My radiator fan has been working intermittently for a few weeks. I replaced the relays and checked the connectors and I thought I had fixed it. However today I went to the grocery store and my car would not turn over when I came out. I jump started it and it would not idle unless I had my foot...

    Where are the viper events in florida?
