    Conti ExtremeContact Sport 2 vs Michelin PS 4S

    What size are you running on the rear? I'm probably going to be in the market for a new set for my 04 before too long. I've always run the Pilot Supersports before, but it seems like they are now discontinued. I was looking around to see what else is out there and looking for the Contis in...

    New to the Viper forums, looking to knock on this guys door and give him a offer for this 8 year yard ridden gen 2

    There's something to be said about being creative and curious when it comes to parts as well. I had some weird stuff happening with my fog lights that was coming from my turn stalk where it was basically shorting contacts in a way that they weren't supposed to be able to do. Something like the...

    Clutch Bracket

    I was driving my dad's Scat Pack Challenger the other day and trying to wrap my head around the clutch. It's interesting because to me it's both light and heavy at the same time. I think it's more that it was very very smooth to press, but heavy. So it wasn't "stiff" in the sense of having a...

    Clutch Bracket

    This is really intriguing! I've never liked how long the pedal travel on my 04 seemed to be, but never thought about trying to change it. Seems like a pretty neat idea and even better that it's not a permanent mod. Curious how much heavier the pedal feels with it (I know by the math it's...

    Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?

    I might have to go this route the next time around on my 04. So far I've managed to find Syntorq here and there when I needed to do fluid changes, but that's getting harder and harder since it has stopped production. I emailed Tremec directly and asked for their recommendation since the...

    Aftermarket Stereo Head Unit integrated into the '08 stock system

    I believe the small extra connector is actually for add-on components like a Sirius radio or a CD changer. The amp takes the speaker level outputs outputs of the stock head unit and some kind of power trigger line. Some aftermarket radios have a separate power antenna and amp output, while...

    MAF sensor connector

    I wish they didn't make it so hard to find out which series different connectors were. So often they want to sell you a pigtail to fix something, but that just means you're butt splicing wires somewhere, which is another failure point. While some do require some more unique tooling, generally...

    MAF sensor connector

    They are also pretty similar to the GT150 series Metripak connectors, though those are a little more rounded on the inside. The Apex series stuff is more like the rectangle with rounded corners, while the GT150 stuff is more like a slot shape. I believe the oil pressure sender, A/C clutch...

    Announcing the Viper Parts Initiative!

    Awesome to see this get off the ground! Best of luck to you in the future endeavor and I hope the club can do whatever possible to support it to keep these cars on the road!

    MAF sensor connector

    The different numbers on connector drawings typically refer to either different colors, keyings, or materials. A lot of times those go hand in hand (like a nylon one might be green, but an ABS one might be black, etc.). Keying is typically the most important. Some keys are actually...

    MAF sensor connector

    I'm thinking that's this guy: https://www.waytekwire.com/brands/aptiv-formerly-delphi/catalog/connectors/aptiv-apex-sealed-terminal-connectors/aptiv-54200409-apex-2-8-sealed-4-way Aptive Apex 2.8 series. Same series they used on the crank and cam sensors for my 5.7 Hemi I believe.

    MAF sensor connector

    Have a picture by any chance? I got decent at identifying connectors when I had to find all the ones to build the harness for my 5.7 in my 67 Dart. Sometimes they are manufacturer specific, but since this is just going to a sensor I would hope it wouldn't be that oddball.

    Shopping for a 3rd generation

    I'd keep an eye on the power steering and oil cooler lines as those are known issues for this generation as well. Both has easy enough fixes, but better to catch them early than late.

    2006 Coupe Proper Underhood Ground Point for Jump Start?

    Ditto on the pump housing. That's usually where I hook up my tender as it's harder to hook up at the back of the car when parked in my garage, and I'm more likely to remember to unplug it when I see the hood is partially open, lol.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Better to find out now than at 250+ mph I suppose. Excited to see how things end up though!
