    Re: http://www.viperalley.com/forum/anything-goes/176817-fundraiser-car-show-abilene. Well, it's a shame none of ya'll decided to come out and support this very sick little boy. Fantastic car show, chassis dyno and all. Great people and great cars. Oh well, Alleyites were there.

    Viper runs hot when sitting in traffic

    A 170 thermostat will have absolutely no effect on running temp at all, unless it's cold enough outside to freeze a witch's tit.

    Solo Cross Country Trip in Viper Contingency Plans

    I'm surprised at so many talking about getting uncomfortable. It takes me 11 hours to drive 750 miles to my daughter's house and I only stop 2 times for gas. No cruise and I get there feeling great.

    Solo Cross Country Trip in Viper Contingency Plans

    I've taken my 76000 mile 02 GTS from Texas to Illinois (1500 mile roundtrip) twice and the only problem was a broken tensioner pulley which I got at Autozone. Averaged 22 MPG.

    Overheating issue(s)

    You got me on that one, boss. If the water pump impeller is turning, you should have somewhat pressurized coolant flowing to the heater valve whether or not the thermostat is open. Not trying to be a jerk, but is there any way you could have gotten the belt on the water pump pulley backwards?? I...

    Overheating issue(s)

    Even if the thermostat were stuck closed, there should be heat inside the car, no? It was my understanding that when the stat is closed, it still circulates coolant through the heater core, given the water valve is in the open position. It gradually opens and sends coolant to the rad, as well as...

    Turning rotors. Myths and truths

    I totally agree with the bedding in process. I put the Stoptech Big Brake system on my GTS and "bedded" the pads in according to the instructions. The difference before bedding and after is night and day. The aforementioned reference was just to illustrate the difference between new rotors and...

    Turning rotors. Myths and truths

    Even if the rotors were able to be turned, you would be shooting yourself in the foot. I watched a video about it a few years ago. A car was set up with mechanically controlled gas and brake pedals for precise and repeatable control. It was then fitted with new pads and rotors and tested from 60...

    Hood Pads for Gen I/II?

    You say they are currently available. Where?? VPA doesn't have them. I've called Chrysler myself, and they don't have them. Dodge parts online doesn't have them.

    Anyone Use Their Viper Daily?

    I bought my 02 GTS on Dec. 2nd, 2011. Since then, I have put almost 30,000 miles on it. I've had very little go wrong with it. It doesn't like stop and go traffic in 100 degree weather so much, but no real problems. Definitely go with the Viper. You won't regret it.

    Received the VCA membership "pitch letter" today.

    I'm with you on this one, Buddy. Art I guess we'll just have to get together and have fun without all the BS. Well, I tried to quote Cubican, but it didn't work. There are a lot of good people in the N. Tx. club that I would hope would still like to get together for fun times.

    Viper wreck statistics

    I am going to be 61 in 3 months and have had an Austin Healy, Triumph GT6+, 64 Chevelle Malibu, 69 Charger, Mustang 5.0. 75 Trans Am and 2 Vettes among other nondescript rides till I got my GTS 2 years ago. I've only been in 1 wreck and it was not my fault. A truck lost control and crossed the...

    Daddy, wow, what kinda car is that? Son, that's the new Vette. -facepalm.

    I was sitting in my favorite sushi bar with my GTS sitting right outside the front window and a guy comes in and asks me if I like the new Vettes. I said I really am not into Vettes, and he raises his eyebrows and says-wait for it----But you're driving one!

    I was banned from Viper Alley

    You keep saying that in the future, you will make major contributions to the Viper community. Why don't you just fade away and lurk until the time when you are able to do so?? I've been on here for almost two years and only have 315 posts. That's because I make a point to try to only post when...

    Maybe you are a poet but-------exactly what technical expertise or for that matter, anything of value to someone else that might want to learn something or need advise on a problem with their car have you provided? You are mildly entertaining, but if I wanted entertainment, I wouldn't look for...

    Then quit complaining and learn! So far, I've not seen one post from you with a "how to" or anything else for that matter that would benefit someone who might have a problem or even a legitimate question about our beloved cars.

    I was banned from Viper Alley

    I have no idea what The Ally likes or dislikes, except they will only put up with a certain amount of useless bullcrap from someone who has absolutely nothing pertinent about Vipers to add to the forum. Also, Dave does not "TROLL"! I know him personally, and I suppose if you have a thin skin, he...
