    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    Still need advice? I did this a long time ago when swapping heads out.

    How have you sold a Viper?

    ViperJeff - we met a long time ago in St Louis. Don't feel bad, I donated plenty to the VCA over the last 20 or so years.

    How have you sold a Viper?

    I'm Viperless for the first time in almost 20 years...Now I have to figure out what to do with all of the Viper stuff I have. I thought about using the consignment places as well. I just couldn't talk myself into it. I started worrying about insurance, etc and the car being so far away...

    How have you sold a Viper?

    It never made it to be advertised. It was bought off this post.

    Sold! That was easier than I thought it would be.

    How have you sold a Viper?

    I'm still trying to figure out where the best place is to try to sell my 01 RT. It has high miles for a Viper (116K), so I'm not looking for extravagant money (Around $20K). I've been considered Autotrader, Craigslist, Consignment with Car Max or similar, Ebay, Forums, etc. Anyone have...

    How smart is it to buy a used Viper out of state, site unseen...

    I'm probably listing my 01 RT/10 in a week or two. It's not been a garage queen, but it's a sound car, nicely modified. I'd be happy to stop it by Tom Sessions for an inspection.

    2001 RT/10 metal clank noise when tapping throttle

    I have 116K miles on mine. The first one went at about 70K then second time at 116K. It's very simple to check. Just jack the car up one side at a time and check a rear tire for side to side movement. 10 mins to eliminate this as the issue.

    2001 RT/10 metal clank noise when tapping throttle

    Pull the wheel off. Remove the cotter pin and locking nut. Then tighten the nut that holds the integrated hub/wheel bearing. 200 ftlb is a good place to start. The passenger side on mine is what has loosened up. You cannot see the bearing unless the unit has failed. it used to be $300 for...

    Smog legal Edelbrock Headers

    The '94 was catless with a 3" borla exhaust. I drove it before and after the headers were installed with the same exhaust setup. The headers definitely made it louder. Maybe with your exhaust it wouldn't be as bad. I enjoyed it when I had it, but I didn't put side pipes on the 01 to relive...

    Belanger or Billy Boat exhaust?

    The cat back is pretty easy other than the hi flow cats have to be welded on. Headers installation depends a lot on whose you buy. You do not have to pull the motor, but it may help to loosen the motor mounts and be able to jack it for extra clearance.

    Smog legal Edelbrock Headers

    I had a set of Edelbrock headers on my 94. I liked them and they definitely performed, but they are certainly a PIA to install. I had to shim the motor mounts to get the headers centered in the side sills so they wouldn't rattle and the installation is a two person job to get the bolts in...

    how much torque can a stock diff take?

    I'm not sure what they were rated for but I ran nitrous on my Gen I with over 700ftlbs on the ground and never had a problem with the stock differential. But I granny shifted and never ran anything stickier than Michelins at the drag strip. So I would say it depends on what you do with it.

    For the first time in 12 years.....

    The optima in my 2001 died after 12 years as well. I think we found their maximum life, but that's still at least twice as long as any other battery I've owned.
