    Chromoly Flywheel

    No I have not had any flywheel failures. The reason I changed to the chromoly flywheels is because of the problems I encountered with the aluminum type. Aluminum wheels seemed to work well, but under hard use I encountered some occansional problems. 1. Ring gears that would loosen up from the...

    Chromoly Flywheel

    I have not seen any issues with starter motor teeth and chromoly flywheels. I think the problem you are refering to is limited to very light flywheels that have thinner ring gear teeth and load the starter gear. Our flywheels are lighter but not nearly as light as the ones you are refering to...

    1000 hp twin turbo Vipers

    If you are traction limited at those speeds then you may have an issue with the driveline or tires. A check of your tires, air pressure, shocks and limited slip differential could show the problem. More power will not help if you do not improve traction. Here are some changes that will make a...

    Broken door spring

    This can be a problem as the Viper ages. You need to lubricate the hinge every couple years. The alumunim hinge wears easily also, so if not lubed your door will drop as it wears and hit the weatherstrip.

    I hope I can add some support to this thread. I met with Steve (the owner of this company) to review the work we were finishing on his Competition Coupe and GTS Viper the other day.

    Service Engine Soon code 1494

    Leak detection switch faults were very common on the 1998 and 1999 models. The pump switch was prone to failure and is part of the pump. The purpose of the pump is to pressurize the fuel tank to check for evaporative leaks (for fumes getting into the atmosphere and polluting the air). Your...

    Dead Pedal

    Thanks for the feedback. The dead pedal is adjustable so you can position it where you want. I have really large feet and am always having problems hitting the wrong pedal unless I am wearing the right shoes. On Gen 1 Cars, if your clutch pedal bushings are worn you could get close to the dead...

    Performance Transmission Crossmember and Mount

    When using a more rigid engine mount on the Gen 3 engines the torque load or twisting effect during a drag race type start pulls on the side of the block and can distort the cylinder that is next to the mount. We have seen this during engine teardowns, finding that one cylinder out of round. On...
