99 RT/10 power steering reservoir cap
Dorman 82585 I would also suggest routing a hose from the cap vent to anywhere pointing down and away from the headers. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/power-steering-cap-fix.678938/#post-3309767- maverickagm

Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change
I don't think Gen 2 has drain plugs from factory. That's what some threads seemed to indicate when I was searching for the thread size. It's weird, but I guess that's just what they did. For Gen 1, there's even part numbers. 4626712 = "Plug, Pipe". 4626713 = "Washer, Plug Seal".- maverickagm

Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change
Update: It is a 3/4-16 UNF plug, otherwise known as an 8AN ORB (o-ring boss) plug. I ordered an aluminum one and torqued it to 15ft/lbs. A 1 inch socket is required. Does anyone know what type of pipe plug this is? Mine is missing the o-ring and I deformed it a bit when removing it. The...- maverickagm

Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change
Does anyone know the drain plug socket size? A 1 inch box-end wrench feels a tad loose. I suspect it might be 25mm (1 inch = 25.4mm). Also, I second checking the fill plug first! I had to use a 3/8" hex socket on a breaker bar. Don't attempt to use any other socket that has even a little bit...- maverickagm

QuickJack 7000TL
For those wondering, the quickjack 7000TL works on a Gen 1 Viper. Notes: * Mine is stock ride height. * I did not have to drive onto boards. * Given the short distance between the front wheel and the front lift point, you need to place the quickjacks backwards so as you lift the car moves...- maverickagm

Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?
I feel like I read every post today trying to decide on fluid for my 1993 t56. The service manual calls for dexron IIe. My understanding is that a non-synthetic dexron III is required because of the paper-lined blocker rings in early t56 units. So in the case of a T56, dexron VI isn't backwards...- maverickagm

How to replace the Gen 1 Clutch Pedal Bushings
8) Replace the two Pedal shaft bushings. Grease them up. 9) If you're using a replacement birdcage bushing, grease it up. Don't put it on the pedal arm!! The birdcage clip must first be inserted into the hole in the clutch rod BEFORE being attached to the pedal arm. If you try to put the...- maverickagm

How to replace the Gen 1 Clutch Pedal Bushings
The problem: My mechanic told me I needed a new clutch safety switch. I did not. The actual problem is the clutch pedal has some left-and-right wiggle. As you press on the clutch pedal, the pedal arm catches on a bracket. You think it's bottomed out, but it's not. Wiggle it to the right and you...- maverickagm

Gen 1 Amplifier connectors
I think these are them: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/165399088752 Our amps are similar to the Alpine 3540 Just as an FYI, I believe that both the left and right amps are slightly different in the Gen 1 viper. When I opened both of mine, there were subtle differences in the resistors and stuff...- maverickagm

Can you Rehab a Gen3 speedo plastic lens with spots? help needed
It should be possible. Platic polishing kits exist. There's an 80's retro arcade near me that uses Novus 3 stage polisher to fix their scratched acrylic pieces on their cabinets. They like it. You should be able to search amazon for "Novus 7136 Plastic Polish Kit". I haven't used this product...- maverickagm

Gen 1: Dash cam wire routing?
Does anyone have any clever ideas for routing a wire to the top of the dash for a dash cam? It looks very difficult to get access to the windshield header wire route area that the rearview mirror lamps use. I was thinking I could hide one of these usb-c pigtail sockets somewhere, but I'm open to...- maverickagm

Wanted: Gen 1 Cassette Radio
