    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    Yes indeed. My '03, I heard the screetch, belt then frayed (brand new belt). I had heard about this as fairly common concern. Reached down and could 'hand turn' the crankshaft pulley. Couldn't believe it and this is NOT good! Got with a friend and it took taking the airbox off and both...

    My viper conundrum

    2nd owner, bought my 03 in 2010 w/3900 miles. Weekend car and now has 54,000 miles. Loved every one of them. I 'get it' in terms of some folks not wanting to drive/wear and tear on them.....but why have it, if not to enjoy. Maybe if a collector or if you have 20 cars, you might want to...

    After 20 Years I Finally Got One

    Welcome! A couple of recommendations, probably others hit them already. (**Check your crankshaft pulley bolt---Mine after 15 years of ownership....was 'finger tight.' Damn near had to get in the engine bay to get to 250Lb-ft to re-torque it. I believe other years are only 130lb-ft...

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    Used to take my little one (now 15) all the time. She loved it and would tell me 'Daddy go faster.' Turned off airbag, car seat strapped in....a little smaller seat works best to squeeze between the side bolsters....and it was some of the best times of my life, taking my precious girls for...

    2003 SRT10 Stereo (CD won't load) Advice please

    Thanks. Going to take my time, I have watched some really good step-by-steps. (I'm on it!!) Just when you are unpluging the 'start' button, Climate controls, on a 21 year old care = be careful, take your time.

    2003 SRT10 Stereo (CD won't load) Advice please

    Sounds good, thanks. I'm on the hunt for a new (or used OEM head unit) /P05091556AG ..... then go from there.

    2003 SRT10 Stereo (CD won't load) Advice please

    Thank you for the Part Number. Yes, I see...common. (Not that you CarToys or a radio expert, but....do you think it is as simple as taking the bezels off, removing / unplugging old unit, install used unit.....voila'......done. OR some security or trip to dealer/someone to 'throw the switch...

    2003 SRT10 Stereo (CD won't load) Advice please

    Update: Well, after putting some cardstock in there to mimic a CD ...got stuck in there. I pretty much tore up the inside of the unit getting the cardstock back out, so ..... looks like 'radio only' / just live with playing the radio OR that unit is coming out. Thanks for the part number /...

    These cars are so underrated

    Love it...Also, how many other Vipers will you run into... I love that it is an American/hand-built V10. More Corvettes built in one-year than during the life-cycle of the Viper. They just get cooler / rarer each year. (But yes, the Viper Tax $ is getting a little rough:)) I...

    Honest feedback on this wing choice

    Hard Pass. (Sorry, candid feedback.) I've never been a fan of the Wings.......unless on a track-based car (ACR) OR you spend a lot of time on the track. Seriously, it just reminds me of the 'ricer crowd' / fast and furious. That said, looks pretty good on the track. Somewhat strange in...

    Gen 3 - Crankshaft pulley bolt --add me to the list.

    Hello Viperland from Big D., '03, 2nd owner, bought in '11 at 3,900 to now 48K miles. Loved every one of them. Recently shredded the serpentine belt (only on the edge of the belt closest to the front of the car). Looking around and thought...what they heck. I hear about the ole' crankshaft...

    Hearing a alert tone ding when in 1st gear before shifting

    You will probably / likely join the Gen III Club with the obligatory "Lo-Pressure" light on constantly. This year's model does NOT have TPMS sensors that learn on their own and clear the Lo-Pressure indicator in the Odometer. (Trust me here.) After finding out a certain (Dodge only) scan...

    In the market for Gen V - Wheels.

    Hello in ViperLand, Was shopping around and thought I'd share. Ref: Wheel purchasing. I can't believe if this is actually not a misprint/typo, but these Gen V wheels are going for $130-160 per wheel, with MSRPs around $700+ to $900. Link below. Mopar 'overstock.' Happy Hunting (or buying)...

    gen 3 windscreens

    Did a quick search and found a couple. (See link). Just like water pumps, headlights, and other key components, they seem to be 'rarer' everyday and expensive (from just a few years ago.) I've used don scharf a few times (sells used Viper parts) that can save you some good money and it sounds...
