    1997 Viper GTS A/C Discharge Line Part Needed

    I tried all those places about 2 years ago and was never able to get a replacement. Lots of places say they have it and they either don't or the parts you get do not match. I ended up going to to local shop and they were able repair mine. Good luck.

    97 GTS Fan Shroud Louvers / Plastic “Doors”

    I might be able to 3D print some replacements. I have mine I could look at and make up a 3D model that would probably look close. I can use the ones I took off mine as a template. I have a large 3D printer that could make several of these at once. Only initial concern would be temperature. I...

    viper frightening revs drop

    I had something very similar on my 97. In my case when the RPMs would drop and the engine would often die. To correct my issue, I had to replace my Idle Air Controller.

    I had something similar and it was the IAC.

    Idle Air Controller

    Strange it was soooo hard to get to this point. Maybe if I had let it idle longer and/more times it would have eventually adjusted itself. But, got lucky, did not damage the IAC and it is back running great just in time to put it away for the winter.

    Idle Air Controller

    Well, good news! The problem is now solved. So, here is a rundown of has happened since I last posted. Talked to Dan Cragin at Specialty Performance. During the discussion, he mentioned that an deal tool would should be used to adjust the IAC to get the idle close enough so that the self...

    Idle Air Controller

    Yes, there is a process for it to reset. The way I understand it, you drive the car for 10-15 miles with the AC on. Stop, let it cool down. Then repeat 4-5 times. I have done this process several times after replacing the battery/disconnecting the battery. I did just do some mods, including...

    Idle Air Controller

    I did not try that with the two I have now. But, the first one I got I installed and and let it idle and warm up. it just idled at almost 2000 rpm. I tried reaching out to several viper stores and the only one that has responded so far is Roe Racing. They say that the part number I have is...

    Idle Air Controller

    Tried at lunch and there was no change in the length once I hook them up and turned on the ignition. I gently pulled on each and again no change. :brick:

    Idle Air Controller

    Good point. I never thought to try that. I will give it a try later today. I will feel totally stupid if that is all it is.

    Idle Air Controller

    All, I need some help with my 1997 GTS. My IAC is starting to fail. I have tried cleaning it as described in may different posts and it does not seem to really help. The number on the side of my IAC is 5245352. I have tried to purchase a replacement 5245352 several times now and they are all too...

    Help with blown A.C. hose - 2001 RT-10

    All three of my AC lines on my 97 GTS that were leaking at the crimp between the hard line and the hose. A local hydraulic shop replaced the hose, replaced the crimp and reassembled them for a whopping $25. Two of the three (don't remember which two) were no available anywhere.

    Back in a GTS

    Looks great. But, I am probably a little partial since it is a twin to the one I have.

    New Owner 1997 GTS B/W

    They are Forgestar’s. I got them from Tony at DV8 Motoring. It took about a month to get them once I ordered them due the a a availability of cores and powder coating. Cost was much more reasonable compared to other options. The wheels are very high quality and reasonably light weight. I have...
