    Gen 2 overheating in Texas sun… go figure

    I have a 96 GTS. I put a 3 core Be Cool radiator in and found a big difference. Check the temp on your upper hose, it should be hot, not just warm. Also the stock fan kick on point is like 204 low speed and around 214 for high speed. There are mods to adjust the fan kick-on point. Viper's do...

    Gen 2 Transmission Noise

    I would think that's low enough the synchro should still be okay, maybe the previous owner under shifted a lot?

    Anybody Have Signatures in their Front Cowl?

    Thanks @LifeIsGood. Initials and a date. Joyce was clear :o) I'm surprised there is no record of why. Quality control? Build stage sign-off? Or did they just know each build was special and signed each car?

    Anybody Have Signatures in their Front Cowl?

    I have a 96 GTS and when I removed the front cowl for some work on the car, I noticed what appears to be dates & initials. Maybe the guys that built it? Anyone have similar or know about this?

    Rubber Padding ?? on Front Bumper Inside Cowl ??

    @TEALLIFE There are 4 push pins which are supposed to be in this exact location. Lost or lazy? @Ramtuff Yes, could be related to rattles. I will replace the original push pins and test. Good idea. Maybe the last shop didn't like the look of 4 black push pins in the middle of the white stripe?

    Rubber Padding ?? on Front Bumper Inside Cowl ??

    Thanks Ken (@LifeIsGood). Nice clean pic. Current thought is someone used double-sided tape on mine instead of the push pins. Why? - Who knows :o(

    Rubber Padding ?? on Front Bumper Inside Cowl ??

    Hi, I have a 96 GTS. I took the front cowl off to do some intercooler work and noticed on the underside of the internal bumper and between where the push pins go inside the crosshairs, some (not in good shape) rubber padding or at least that's what I'm calling it. If this is there for a purpose...

    Desperate - What Kind of Bolt (Tool needed)

    Ugh, my bad ... yup a 12 point socket fits. I've never seen a 12-point bolt head. I always thought 12 point sockets were just to increase positioning on a typical 6-side bolt. Live & learn. Thanks.

    Desperate - What Kind of Bolt (Tool needed)

    Hi, My 96 Viper GTS was modified by Heffner in 2003 - added supercharger and stuff. I need to get at the water pump (not a surprise) and the cross-support and supercharger mounting all use the kind of bolt pictured below. First thought is an External Torx. So I bought a set. The E-torx have...

    Need advice on '02 GTS for sale

    Interesting, I looked at this car in August of 2002. Same mileage as back then. Was listed at 89k and chane, so it is a little cheaper but maybe more negotiating space as they had this car a long time. I did not drive it. The trunk shocks would not hold the rear window up (so they need...
