    Viper runs hot when sitting in traffic

    Jeez the "Time for a Viper Tech" talk is crazy, 9/10 times I'd trust myself to fix something right way before I'd let someone else do it... You made sure to mix the coolant before refilling the system right :-) Otherwise it's either going to be the water pump going, or a problem with the fan...

    Handbrake button stuck in pressed position

    I know this is an old thread, but I finally got around to looking at this and solve the issue. Thought it would be beneficial to close this loop on this for anyone with the same problem in the future. The problem was not with the button, but at the base of the handbrake. The tabs that suround...

    Suggestions to improve airbox setup

    Possible coolant in oil...

    It was clean. Also I looked at the oil filter when I removed it, and also didn't see anything abnormal. And I vividly remember dumping what was in the oil filter into the pan and didn't see anything but normal looking spent oil. Thinking about that makes me feel better too. Regardless I'm going...

    Possible coolant in oil...

    Good point. The car had been sitting since December for winter. I did not run it prior to changing the oil. From all the images I've seen of coolant/oil mix, it appears that once it's all settled the coolant actually is at the bottom, and the oil is at the top. If this is the case, than I should...

    Odd ? about track days & overcoming cornering fears

    Saw you were in Dayton. I recommend the mid-ohio school. Brother got it for me as a wedding gift. Absolutely fantastic experience. I would actually recommend using their cars as well... Easier to learn or give validation to your skills when you're following pro's with the exact same car/setup...

    Possible coolant in oil...

    Well I have yet to run it since changing it out. It's still sitting on jackstands at the moment.

    Possible coolant in oil...

    '99 ACR, changed the oil yesterday and in the bin noticed some coolant on top the oil... Here's my dilemma though, I'm unsure whether the coolant in the bin was left over from a waterpump swap I did on another vehicle about a year ago or if it actually came out of the viper... The tank in the...

    Handbrake button stuck in pressed position

    Do I need to take the leather sleeve/grip off? Does it just pull off?

    Handbrake button stuck in pressed position

    Been dealing with other stuff and haven't gotten time to coming around and fixing this. But last summer when releasing the hand brake, the button decided to remain in the pushed position. It's basically stuck and I can't tell what it is getting hung up on... The button won't go any further in...

    A few questions before purchasing...

    Well maintenance not really any different. I have a CTS-V with the LSA as well, and maintenance items are comparable if you do your own wrenching. I'd imagine the same goes for a Vette. Comfort and Difficulty are very subjective. Test one out and judge for yourself. Test both a Viper and a...

    Official Exhaust Clip Thread!!!

    This thread should be sticky'd... Anyway took this right before I put it away from winter. Engine was up to temp, just washed it. Stock heads, stock headers, no cats, belanger exhaust. Wanted to capture the sound before mod's begin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zv6dCW4MTWM
