    Satellite radio reception

    The antenna for Sirius is not on the windsheild, it is mounted in the trunk under the rear deck-lid. The receiver is behind the passenger seat under the pop-cover in the rear trim panel. Check all the connections...

    08 Power steering noise?

    Mine did "grunt" a bit when I first got it... The reservoir at the right temp and cornering force was actually letting the fluid slosh in the reservoir cup enough to allow air into the pump. What fixed it was to make sure the level was full to the max line... which kept the air from reaching...

    Gas pump nozzle

    Keep an eye on the vent tube at the fuel cup if you are having problems... There is a small vent hose that runs parallel to the main filler tube... if that little tube's rubber union gets twisted your car will show top off problems. And it an easy at home fix if it is twisted. Rubber unions take...

    P0300 Random misfire code on Dyno ?

    Make sure you have the latest calibration for the stock module... a calibration update was issued for 08's with P0300 issues.

    Diagnostic Codes redux

    Readiness is something accomplish over time and miles driven... you don't get codes from not be readied. In fact if you are pulling fuses, you are reseting the memory and actually clearing readiness. Every time you disconnect power from the PCM you lose the CARB monitor data and readiness is...

    Tators article in NY Times

    This could be another positive reason to hope for a new owner for "Viper"... they could sell through any dealer they want (hopefully). And I'm sure they are aware of Tator's reputation for sale and support of our snakes.

    Spin when low on gas ?

    Lets say 4.5 gallons left (1/4 of 18gal) at 6lb / gal for gasoline... so if you were to "slosh" hard to one side and then immediately "slosh" to the other side, you would be tossing 27lbs across the rear car. Now if you were at the limit... even a single pound would put you over. But keep...

    Bummer - 'End of Viper'

    Hey, are they pointing out "The Swine Flew" ?:pigsfly:

    E-brake adjustment

    It is supposed to be self adjusting... crank on it pretty hard, a little further than you might think, and it should ratchet another notch if it is rising too high for you. The mechanism can be seen under the center trim panel... it can be "pryed" (don't pry, use a trim stick) up and you can...

    Will the Mopar Controller still be available for 08-09 Vipers?

    Is that the "Swine Flew" on your post?

    08 with nx 150

    Boosted... keep in mind that though the piston is the same as the 6.1L it is being used under more intense conditions... and it only has about 3mm of top ring land... Drum on them too hard and you'll find that the "cheap" Nitrous upgrade is not so cheap. 6.1L Hemi - 425HP - 53hp/piston 6.1L...

    2005 vs 2008 Any Differences Worth Hearing About

    The ride claims are in part from the PS2 tires... but also because the shocks and springs were changed even on the Non-ACR cars... The shock spring combo was common from 2003 to 2006, but you'll note that both the shock and spring was changed in 2008 to take better advantage of the PS2 tires...

    Drive Cycle For Emissions Inspection

    The trick here is to use the "bulb check" routine to tell when you have completed the monitors... it's in the owners manual. It will save the trip to the check station. The other trick while driving is to drive "normally", get out on the freeway and run some nice steady state driving... the...

    Gen4 Tach Signal

    Unlike Gen I through III, Gen IV does not have a tach drive pin... if your lap timer is CAN compatible, rpm can be read off the bus.

    When a Simple Project goes Wrong

    The Intake Air Temp sensor is common to a lot of dodge / chrysler / jeep vehicles... get a connector and pigtail from a junkyard pull... cost you about $5 max. And you won't have to play with the pins. If you don't want splices... you need a special set of "picks" that will release the...

    ACR colors

    CAAP is back running, I believe most all colors are now available... unfortunately the Viper website barely recognizes ACR let alone the color combos. I'd talk it through with your favorite dealer, and get an order in... in whatever color you want. The orders drive the plant.

    Reverse Lights Wire

    The reverse wire passes through the inline connector on top of the drivers foot box underhood... It's the grey connector, and it's wire number one. The wire should be white with a green trace on it... that wire will go hot when the car is in reverse, as that is the feed to the taillamp reverse...

    Viper wont start

    Re-check the ASD fuse... it can blow after certain stall situations... later years of the car were equipped with 25A ASD rather than 20A of the earlier Gen III's. And it will give all the symptoms you describe.

    Faulty Oil Pressure, and Oil Temp Gauges, need help.

    This is also why in 2004 the oil pressure gage was changed to a 0-100psi... people were getting scared of seeing the needle at the high end of the scale. But it is very typical and not an issue... The oil temp guague was also re-scaled in 2004 to start at 140F instead of 180F to demonstrate...

    09 str-10 battery box

    It is the Battery Temperature Sensor... It is used to judge what the system charging voltage should be, and to prevent overcharging in hot weather / conditions.

    My Viper Wont Start HELP!

    Make sure you didn't loose the ASD fuse... cheap and simple if that is what it is. That will take the PCM down.
