    Is the spring plate under the gas lid to keep pressure on the gas cap -- evap code --

    I took the spring plate off from under the gas lid to fit a locking gas cap on my 2001 GTS while it was parked outside for awhile. I started throwing the p0442 (small evap leak) / p0445 (large evap leak) codes. I put my stock gas cap back on and it was still throwing codes. I then...

    Inside of GTS floor wet after hard downpour ---

    My car was parked in the rain yesterday during a pretty hard down pour. I got in to drive today and could smell it was musty so I touched the floor. The passenger side center of the floor was pretty wet to the touch (not a puddle) in a 3-4 inch circle, and it didn't seem to be wet...

    Is it typical for the voltometer to drop when the fan kicks on under the hood? ---

    I noticed my voltometer gauge goes down from 13.9 to around 12.9 when my e-fan kicks on under the hood. Is that typical? I guess I am trying to figure out if I have the stock fan set up or not ... the reason I wonder is my car seems to run cool. Its how I expect it to run , but when I...

    Has anyone used a remote battery disconnect for the winter time? ---

    I don't have access to a power plug for a battery tender in the winter time. I think my new Optima battery may have died out on me this winter , the weather was a lot worse than I planned and I wasn't able to drive the car weekly like I was last winter. Someone recommended I install...

    I am not interested in tuning right now ... but I would like to datalog the performance of my 01' Viper. I see the VEC and SCT Pro-Racer programs seem to be focused on actual tuning adjustments. Do they both datalog also? Is there just a datalog-only program out there? Thanks for...

    Going to fix my lighter , what are the steps to taking off the stereo surround piece?

    My lighter is dead, and the fuse is good. I am going to guess the connection at the rear vibrated off. I see its the radio surround that needs to get removed? Any tips or steps to taking this piece off? I have a bad habit of pulling until something breaks thinking the clips are "...

    What are the differences in the gen2 vs gen 3 engines? ( rod knock issue ) ---

    I had a buddy buy a 2003 SRT Gen 3 with 35k miles. He had the car a month and got the dreaded #3/#4 rod kock. I didn't realize this was common problem with the gen 3 engines. It made me wonder what are the differences in the gen 2 vs gen 3 engines. Gen 2 = 450hp , Gen 3 = 505hp. The...

    Side Mirror issues after powerwashing a wasp nest out from behind the glass ---

    I had a wasp nest behind the passenger side mirror glass. I used a power washer to get behind the glass and break up the nest, then pulled ALL the nest out. Well, I set the mirror all the way up , and pushed it up even more to get the water stream under the mirror. Now, it will go...

    Was the Viper Engine originally a v-10 TRUCK engine sent off to Lamborghini? ---

    I was under the impression that the Viper engine was originally a v-10 Truck engine ... sent off to Lamborghini since they were owned by Chrysler at the time. Lamborghini did their thing and out came the Viper v-10? The new HotRod Magazine writeup on the 2013 Viper claims this is the biggest...

    What shift light are you guys using? ---

    I was interested in getting a shift light for spirited driving. Seems like a good idea to help keep my eyes on the road instead of the tach. Most of the lights out there are HUGE though. I was wondering what brand/model light you guys are using that looks clean with our interiors ... and...

    Does anyone make a X-Brace (or any underhood brace) for our 2nd Gen cars like the 2013 Vipers use? Would we have clearance issues between the hood and engine? I just think its a neat idea, and may help out a lot. Thanks :) ---

    I drove the Viper for about 60 miles today. Got 1/4 mile away from home ... made a left turn off the highway and heard a slight quick SCREECH sound. I felt a small tug in the steering wheel like my tire contacted the inner fender well. Went to make a right hand turn into my home, and I have...
