    Surging at low speed (under specific instance)...anyone else have this?

    Question for other gen 2 owners... is there a point at low rpm in a low gear where your viper "surges" a bit? I'm talking a very specific instance that has to be just right, now under normal driving circumstances. Allow me to setup my scenario... when I'm cruising at just the right speed and...

    Sub Woofer Installation & Side Gills

    All, I'm considering installation some subwoofers in the right and left "pockets" in the truck. First question is, does this create a problem? I know that is where the "gills" are for the truck. If I remember correctly they are just pressure relief valves of sorts for when you close the...

    Changing Brakes (Rear) on Gen 2s

    So I was flipping through my service manual the other day, and I noted that according to it, there is a special tool required to set back the rear brakes in place during a brake pad replacement. First question, is it just the rear brakes or the fronts also? Second question, do I really...

    Intermittent Driver Window Issue

    I have a 99 GTS. I am having an intermittent issue with rolling down the drivers side window. Anyone have some thoughts? I don't believe the wiring is the problem since that already went bad, and I pulled the wires out and re-wired them...I believe I tugged on all the wires to force any unbroken...

    General Performance Improvements & Intake Modifications/Exhaust tweaks.

    I'm curious if anyone on here has done anything to really help the Gen 2 breathe. I'm looking to do some high level mods that are straight forward and simple first like the smooth tubes and K&N filters. Is this modification generally supported and considered a good thing for performance? Does...

    99 GTS Oil Change Questions

    Since I bought my 99 GTS used, it didn't have the owner's manual (shame), but from the many many threads I've just read through it appears the 99's had a 8.5 qt oil pan. 2000+ they went to the 10 qt pan. I won't start the age old battle of which oil to use and just go with the factory Mobil 1...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Anyone got some strong opinions? I'm looking to decide which is best for my viper. I tried digging around online to see if there was a special blend/brand for the Vipers (I have a 1999 GTS), but I don't see that there is one. Hell while we're at it, what type of oil does it take anyway? I...

    Front Brakes for a 1999 GTS

    All, Has anyone seen these brake pads Autozone offers for the Viper? They have some sort of wear indicator wire coming off them that's supposed to plug up somewhere. I would be surprised quite honestly if 1999 had a mechanism to detect when the brakes are warn, but I may be wrong. Is Autozone...

    Viper Color Contest

    What does everyone think about the 3 color names up for vote in the Viper Color Contest? Flat out, I think they all suck. http://www.drivesrt.com/color-contest/ Is that seriously as creative as those guys over at SRT can get? I tended to believe the reason they got the viper community...

    Fuse for 12 volt power outlet in Gen 2 Viper

    I have a 1999 Viper GTS. My 12 volt cigarette lighter port does not have power. The obvious first guess is a fuse. Can someone point to where the fuse is for this thing? If anyone has some troubleshooting gotcha's regarding it too I'd take those as well. I am at the start of diagnosing what...

    3M Paint Defender... Anyone Tried it Out?

    Has anyone tried 3M's new Paint Protector system? I'm thinking about using it on my Gen 2 viper to protect against nicks and chips, but I'd like to know if anyone has experience with it first. It seems to be safe?? I'm not sure how effective it is either. You can google it, but here is a short...

    Performance Upgrade Estimate Needed

    All, I just recently purchased my first ever Dodge Viper. It's a beautiful 1999 GTS that's Red with Silver racing stripes. Still trying to find accurate build info on it but that's a different journey to find good numbers. I've already engaged on the forums for figuring out more info...
