    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    When I was working on Aircraft, chasing vibrations was a bundle of fun. We did have a very useful tool (Chadwick) that was primarily made to balance props. Part of this unit was a sensor that would pick up the Vibration and give it a frequency (RPM). Then you could take the unit and dial in a...

    Intermittent Fogs and horn

    Here is the Grounding info from the 2001 Service Manual. I would guess that they are the same on the 2000. It shows location of Ground on the RIGHT FRONT FRAME RAIL. Hope this helps.

    Battery maintainer/tender?

    I also use the Schumacher battery maintainers on my Viper and other vehicles, Boat, Bikes and ATVs. I have slightly changed my charging practice during my extended Hibernation during Winter months by putting the maintainers on timers giving a three hour on window per day. I have become concerned...

    replacement radiator alternatives?

    I just had my 1997 Original Rad rebuilt due to leaking down the Left hand side. Pain to pull and reinstall but doable. Viper is now running cooler than ever. Also, note that I had it rebuilt to original spec. No double/triple row stuff. Ky

    Hood adjustment .

    Here is a Pic of my 97 and 01 hoods showing gaps on both sides. My research indicates that this is pretty typical of a Gen 2 hood fitment where one side gap may be larger than other side. I did not and would recommend to others not to mess with adjusting their hoods for these typical gaps. Maybe...

    What is the average cost to replace a window regulator on a 1996 GTS?

    I am surprised that you have a Dodge Dealer that is willing to work on your Viper. In my area (at least six Dealers within 20 miles) I have only found one willing to work on mine and the one that would will only provide labor and I have to supply all parts needed. I ended up doing all of my own...
