Dan, Allan, and an anonymous local club member ("Solid Red 98") were right on the money: it was a dropped valve seat. As it was the intake valve...
Well, I was only planning on pulling the one head. :-) Randy
So, in any event, the head is coming off. Thanks much for the feedback; I'll pull the head this weekend and see what surprise waits for me...
Daily driver, 2000 RT, 79k miles on it. Started a louder-than-normal ticking sound a month or so back. And, no, not the normal Viper engine...
Who did them? I've replaced my 2000's valve covers due to paint bubbling and flaking off, so I have a spare set just ready for refinishing like...
Neither Gen 1 nor Gen 2 disable the A/C clutch under any throttle load - the reason it goes hot is due to the loss of vacuum (another side effect...
Sounds like you are missing the pieces to put on your sport pad, which (current version) consists of four machined blocks with hand-tightenable...
Its just three bolts on each side - however, one of the bolts on each side is under the headlight housing, and you can't easily get to those two...
When I had a Gen 1, I wanted one of the Autoform tops also - I wanted the very low-profile top that complemented the car lines, not made the car...
Simple, I pull it out of the mount (leaving the suction cups and mount attached to the windshield), and put it in the trunk. As I have the...
I use the suction cup mount and put the unit above the rear-view mirror for the best range fore and aft. I use the remote display (on top of the...
When I replaced the dash on my '95 back in 1999 or 2000, I got one of 13 remaining left in the Mopar parts system, and I don't think they are...
Sween, we have at least five '98 GT-2s in the S.F. Bay area, all Northern CA club members. Fred 'Driving School' Kinder (in this forum, has three...
The OEM windows for the '96 are unique to the '96 - previous years were zip-up vinyl. However, I think they will fit other gen-1s.
I use a pager alarm that hooks up to the stock sensors, and which is enabled at all times - just turn off the receiver/pager when you don't want...
Most of us CA Viper owners don't have a front plate (I don't recall yet seeing any CA Vipers with a front plate). Over 10 years without front...
Mike, I hope you meant "X-band turned off", as X-band is not used, and only K, Ka, and Laser is used in this area. (I have mine set the same way).
1/2: ratcheting wrench works great, but the problem is getting the wrench back out of the hole after backing the bolt off. Often, you have to...
Actually, thats backwards. RT is lighter (evidently something weighs more, probably the glass) and is almost always faster, given the same year...
just happened across this posting, and had to clarify/correct some issues: No, the head gaskets do NOT require replacement on every Gen I viper....
Well, it all depends on what you were doing and the conditions. The only time my Gen II showed such symptoms was running at a brisk pace in...
Tator's suggestion of a bad ground fits the symptoms very well - the extra current from the headlight activation could cause a capacitance-effect...
I don't recall the Gen II switches having the same problem. For that matter, from what I can see in the wiring diagrams, a melting headlight...
Actually, this isn't true. In my personal experience, and despite the marketing hype, the three-piece hard top does take up more space in the...
I used a Garmin StreetPilot for many years in my '95 RT/10, and made a mount that snapped onto the center Tonneu cover snap (Gen I's have snaps...
