    Negative battery cable disconnect

    Also, there are ways to get usb and bluetooth on old stock head units with cd changer controls. If you're interested in that alternative, I could tell you about it. I have a black box with a usb and sd card slot in my glove box. It works on the tape deck in my 93. It uses the rca audio inputs...

    Negative battery cable disconnect

    The obd2 system on your 2001 might be quicker to learn. I've had a few obd1 cars that would take a few trips to readjust the air fuel ratios. The worst thing that ever happened was my 93 ford probe stalled when rolling to a stop. Not a big deal. That being said, If you're just installing a...

    Roe Racing VEC3 software

    Perhaps not the answer you're looking for, but have you tried any CD recovery software? At the moment I can't recall what I used in the past, but software exists that will hammer the cd with read retries one block (track?) at a time until it gets a clean read. It takes forever, but it does work...

    Cigar Lighter Outlet

    I recently replaced mine as well. For what it's worth, the cigar lighter fuse can blow when disconnecting and reconnecting the battery. Also, power to the cigar lighter is always available, even without the key in or turned to accessory. So just don't leave something plugged in that has a...

    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

    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".

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    How to replace the Gen 1 Clutch Pedal Bushings

    In my case, I did not have squeaks. I only had excessive lateral play.

    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...

    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...

    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...
