    What's my car worth.

    Thanks Mike for the estimate and I'd be happy with that price. I have a guy standing by but I'll get the surgery first and see how that goes. Can't imagine not having a viper in the garage, this is my second since 2003. Wonderful toys but one should never refer to them as an investment unless...

    What's my car worth.

    I have to sell the '06 coupe because of upcoming surgery and am wondering what I should ask for it. I live in So CAL.. I'm the third owner and it had 13k on it when I got it. It's blue with dealer painted on silver stripes from new. . Excellent condition and all service done by myself beyond...

    Thanks for that info...But if it wasn't the gas cap then I guess the check engine light will come back on anyway. Hopefully it doesn't. How many miles are we talking about. Will a 100 be enough?

    Thanks for the tips guys. Yes it was a fuse after all. Can't imagine why that would have blown, maybe as I was plugging in. The code PO455 read EVAP Emission control system control leak (large). I don't know where to start looking for that. I did replace the gas cap a while back and it's not...

    Hi, I got a check engine light so bought a Memoscane CANOBDII U581. Looks the same as the viper store unit, the deluxe model for $130 . When I plug it in to the viper it doesn't even light up the screen, with or without the ignition on. It works fine on my other 4 cars. I have an '06 but I...

    WARNING-When replacing oil cooler lines.

    I know replacing the oil cooler lines with the braided lines from Viper Specialty or other, has been covered in detail several times . However, one problem that happened to me, has never been mentioned......When removing the quick connect fitting from the cooler, using hardly any torque, the...

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Isn't it a disgrace that they keep selling us the same car from 2003 with the same expensive little flaws, without caring a damn what it costs us. I know we don't have to keep buying the damn car, this is my 3rd, but it's like a drug, you get hooked and have to have it. Wish Honda would...

    Front Wheel Bearings

    Problem solved (hopefully). I went to the local dealership who contacted the closest dealer that had one in stock in Idaho. He pulled the p/n 4763182AB from the shelf and verified that it did have the center bolt in place. The dealers best price for me was $710 for 2 including state tax but I...

    Front Wheel Bearings

    Thanks Allen.....I'm finding out that the bearing assy doesn't always come with the bolt installed when one orders that p/n. I can buy the assy for 275 and the bolt separate for 10 but it's going to be a real task installing and torquing that bolt as it has a round head and gets torqued over...

    $3000 to spend... What aftermarket wheels to buy :)

    Best bang for the buck would be the ACR wheels. They look better than just about any aftermarket wheel out there.

    Rear wheel breaks off!!!

    Well, I must say this post really shook me up. Having just retired after 40 years as an aircraft mechanic I understand metal fatigue very well and the need for regular testing of stressed components using NDT methods such as ultra sound. One can only imagine the consequences of having this...

    How do you remove bird poop stains?

    I had the same problem and to prevent it from happening again I bonded one of those tall fake owls, with the bobbing head, on the roof. Looks a bit weird but it works. No more bird poop......

    Getting ready for my 1st Viper...answers & Opinions PLEASE

    Go with the modified car, It will not take you long before you realize the vipe needs more power than the 500 it has. Vipers are hard to sell and if you modified yout stock car it'll cost you a ton and you'll kick yourself when it's time to trade up to next generation. Vipers are like Vice...
