    Looking for a Viper V10 (or RAM SRT10) engine for a Jeep (yes, Jeep) project.

    Wouldn't a camshaft change alter the aluminum V10 into a low-rpm torque monster?

    Recall on clutch interlock switch

    Thanks. A clutch switch that always thinks the clutch is fully depressed IS a safety concern. I didn't thinkof that failure mode.

    Recall on clutch interlock switch

    First I've heard of a clutch switch recall. The clutch switch wouldn't seem to be safety related, and it's been 9 years since my 2006 was built....so why recall now?

    WTB 2005 hydrolic fan. I think mine is gone :(

    A software failure (mentioned above by Viper X) of the fan speed only is extremely unlikely. However, since this fan speed signal travels from the electronic module to the hydraulic modulator(right name?) via a dedicated wire, a connection problem could cause fan speed problems. Also, a bad...

    WTB 2005 hydrolic fan. I think mine is gone :(

    The speed of the hydraulic fan is controlled by a signal from one of the electronic modules. Before I would blindly replace the hydraulic motor, I would measure this signal to see if the electronic module is running the fan enough.

    hard top vs convertible cabin space

    Did you adjust the pedals all the way forward? There is a switch on the lower dash kick panel, to the right of the steering column. I'm assuming you had the seat all the way back.

    7 YR. Warranty on Viper

    Stealth is correct and I am wrong. I just looked it up. Regardless of when you buy the extended warranty, the warranty term of service goes into effect as of the date car was first sold. I would delete my incorrect post, but the forum software does not give me that option.

    question about a 2006 viper...

    There are several DIY instructions and photos. Google for TPMS CANNISTER or TPMS CAN or TPMS BOMB. I remember seeing an advertisement for one, but didn't save the link. Basically get a short section of 3" or 4" diameter PVC pipe and two end caps. Glue one end cap to PVC pipe. Put three TPMS...

    7 YR. Warranty on Viper

    When you buy an extended warranty, the warranty time begins counting down IMMEDIATELY. Thus, buying a new viper and a 7-year extended warranty at the same time means you get 3-years of new car bumper-to-bumper warranty, followed by four years of extended warranty. 7 years total. Buying a...

    question about a 2006 viper...

    It has a TPMS, but only has a single idiot light and chime to indicate that one or more tires are low. No way to tell which tire or what the pressure is in any tire without measuring it. Some owners install the Orange Electronics add-on TPMS, which has individual tire pressure and/or tire...

    Did Chrysler goof with their $15K Viper purchase incentive

    If I understand the Chrysler $15K Viper incentive coupon correctly, ONLY CURRENT OWNERS of a 2013 or 2014 Viper will get a $15K discount coupon to be used toward ANOTHER new 2013 or later Viper. Am I understanding this correctly? If true , then Chrysler is NOT bringing any fresh, untapped...

    Gen. 5 Raffle in White Plains NY

    If appears there may have been two Dodge Viper raffles happening in New York state. One to benefit the YMCA with a car donated by a White Plains NY dealer, drawing on Sept 1, with 500 tickets needing to be sold at $300 per ticket; and one benefiting a blindess organization with a car donated...

    Gen. 5 Raffle in White Plains NY

    I bought my tickets through the Eventbrite website around the beginning of August. Did the rest of you use the Eventbrite website for tickets? Since I bought more than one ticket, I paid $159.24 per ticket. Drawing was scheduled for Sept 28 at some college location. Here is the text of my...

    The current and future state of Viper sales and technology

    I believe the majority of Viper buyers/owners are in the middle-class income bracket. Couple that with the fact that the bad 2008 recession after-effects are still not over, means the best thing Chrysler can presently do to encourage new Viper sales is to keep the final sale price in the five...

    quick question SRT-10 Gen 3 about exhaust and calipers

    I believe the export models had some solenoid-controlled gadget in the exhaust to modify/control the sound (noticed this in the factory electrical manual.) Don't know if that is what you are seeing...

    Battery tender/maintainer

    I recommend either a Ctek 7002 or a Pulse Tech 010x100. Of the two, the Ctek is the most useful as it can even recharge a dead battery using Supply mode. The Pulse Tech won't charge a battery that has dropped below 7 volts or so.

    Speedo Question

    Nothing needs to be changed for the speedometer. The vehicle speed signal is created by the antilock braking system monitoring the wheel rotation. Changing your tire size (I'm assuming it is the front tires that are monitored) to one with a different circumference, however, will throw off the...

    Gen II and Gen III/IV comparison

    If you are a big guy, the gen 3/4 cars are slightly easier to get in and out of. I was originally going to buy a gen 2 (2000), but decided not to because it was painfully awkward getting my feet in after I was sitting down. Starting with the gen 3 (2003), Dodge moved the windshield a little...

    CTek...anyone use 7002 (vs 3302)?

    The advantage of the 7002 over the 3300 is the SUPPLY mode of the 7002. Smart chargers like the Ctek (and others) will not even attempt to charge a dead or severely discharged battery. This is because they perform a polarity test first, to make sure the leads are correctly connected. If the...

    Gen IV trunk air pump and tire sealant bottle??

    I must have jinxed myself. My right rear had a leak yesterday, and I used my Slime kit for the first time. Everything worked fine, but hand squeezing the Slime bottle to get it into the tire was a pain and messy when some dribbled onto the rim. But it immediately sealed and held. The...
