    STOLEN!!!

    Is Lojack still the standard for stuff like that? It's the first name that comes to mind for me at least, though I've never actually used them myself. That's more of a full service kind of setup vs something that's more "personally" managed like an AirTag. Granted I think it's probably more...

    Exhaust

    I really like the Borla offerings, but not sure if they make a kit for the gen 5 or not. They have a deeper "muscle car" tone to them to my ears at least. I'm 99% sure the Mopar race exhaust is made by them as well. It's identical in construction to the Borla system, just in a longer package...

    Gen 3 supercharger system Questions

    The JTEC is the ECU that is already in the car (JTEC = Jeep Truck Engine Controller). The earlier cars had SBEC (Single Board Engine Controller) ECUs and the later ones had the Venom ECU (no clever acronym for it as far as I know). The JTEC controllers can be flashed with something like an SCT...

    Viper Alum V10 New bare block

    What generation is that block? I'm guessing maybe 1 or 2? I've only seen 3+ stuff since I've had mine apart a few times, but I could have sworn Prefix replaced a sleeve or two when I sent it to them after my last rod bearing failure. I could see gen 1/2 stuff not being as available though.

    Something fun!

    Sounds like quite the adventure. Starting with a gen 5 setup might be interesting, but I guess if you're going full custom on stuff it's not as big of a deal. Mostly just from the standpoint of tuning and whatnot is why the newer ones have been harder to work with, but I guess that had changed...

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

    You can buy programmable sensors that you can clone to the OEM ids. That way you don't have to reprogram the car itself. The trick there is you need the OEM ids to start with. If you're lucky you can get them off the sensors themselves. They should be on a sticker on them, but at 20 years...

    Check out this Viper!

    Yeah, it's a love hate thing with me on these. I enjoy watching his videos and his humor, but I wish he would have started with a car in a different condition. Seems a shame to cut up what appeared to be a pretty nice car when there are likely plenty of salvage or rougher condition cars out...

    What’s my car worth

    Yeah, where you live in the country and even time of year can have a decent effect on the price of cars like these as well. The snide answer is "whatever someone is willing to pay for it", though that's really the truth. How badly you need/want to sell it can affect the price as well. If...

    OBD 94 viper

    Even with the DRB III the diagnostics are somewhat limited on the early cars, but you can do stuff like actual coils, injectors, etc. one by one to see if those outputs are good on the computer. I just got lucky in that I had got the DRB III for my 04 and it came with a bunch of cables and...

    OBD 94 viper

    Yeah, a DRB III works as well, though those are likely no more common as most shops, even less so indie shops I imagine. I used mine on my mom's 94 when she was having some rough running issues to work out that she had a bad coil.

    Side Skirt Screws Loose/Missing

    I did this as well, though the main issue I've had lately is that the threads have gunked up or galled or something on a few of them and made it tough to get bolts in or out. I think it's the stainless problem that Steve mentioned, though I thought I also actually picked stainless nuts to go...

    Current Market Price 2008 ACR

    Yeah, usually my first thing to do is check other websites like AutoTrader, Cars.com, Ebay, etc. You'll still probably see a wide range of prices, and there's no guarantee that any of those listings are actually selling at the prices they are listed at, but it gives you at least an idea of what...

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    Viper diffs are known to clunk when brand new. Have you had the car for a while and noticed it getting worse or is it new to you? Just curious as that's one of the number one comments that people have when the drive a Viper.

    O2 sensor help

    Yeah, I was thinking similar. It's entirely possible your harness has a fault in it due to touching a header pipe or something, so it wouldn't matter if the sensor is good if the harness has damage somewhere.

    What special Viper do i have? Strange GTS Combination

    Very odd, though then again I don't really know how exports work as that might play into some of this. I could picture requiring information to be included on an import/export sheet that might cover modifications or options, so I could see someone modifying the car in the US before exporting it...
