    Ported heads on my 08

    What code was setting due to the nitrous blast? Is it a torque error or a sensor going out of range due to pumping nitrous into the manifold behind the MAF sensors? Knowing the code code point the way to a fix.

    Viper orange with non 08 hood for sale?

    The picture is of a copperhead 06 (and the H-spokes were available in 06), but the VIN is for a Black 08 Coupe...

    Radio Problems

    The Antenna is on the glass... look very low near the passenger side tweeter and you can usually see a wire leading to a snap (similar to the snap on top of a 9v battery) that allows the antenna amp to connect to the windshield line. It sounds a bit like either the amp is disconnected from...

    WTF are these Viper windshileds made of? Tissue paper?

    Its a bit more than a standard car windsheild because the FM/AM antenna is on the glass... but ~$500 at a good glass shop should be about right. The GEN I/II windsheilds were a lot more because that had a lot more wraparound at the edges. The GEN III/IV is fairly normal curvature.

    Question about swaping PCM

    You'd probably want to stick with your 712AA level part... the 667AC is the 2001 part but a fairly early version. The latest 2001 part which had many MIL light causing issues were fixed by via reflashes and the latest 2001 part numbers were 667AE and 667AF (AF being a service flash for knock...

    WTF are these Viper windshileds made of? Tissue paper?

    Titanium watch perhaps? Way harder than glass... You could try crack filler... But buffing / polishing will only cause warping in you vision.

    Sticker removal??

    Use the sticker itself... the glue left behind will tack off onto the main sticker... and yes a razor works well to get an edge started. Do it out in the sun and it peels way easier than if in a cool garage. A touch of "Goof Off" on a rag will finish the job nicely if you have sticky that...

    What kind of stuff would you like to see?

    Any ideas for "Tech" Sessions? Would anyone be interested in deep diving engineering of say the multitude of black boxes on the cars? PCM / BCM etc... Obviously things like a ACR tuning session would be awesome... Maybe a flash update booth? Get your car updated by the factory... no...

    Speed TV review of ACR

    Well 592hp would be if you assumed the car made 600 metric HP and then converted to SAE... But that's not the case. It makes 600hp (550 ft-lbf/s) which is actually 608.322 metric horsepower. They must have done the math backwards....

    My 08 has check engine light but not codes!

    Make sure you are using a scan tool that is compatible with 2008 CAN standards... the older code scanners will not support the Viper PCM. I would hope "autozone" scanners would have latest software, but there is no way to be sure.

    Question re retorquing Belanger Header bolts . . .

    Keep in mind the 2008 engine converted to all metric bolts/nuts now... so don't go using american wrenches... As for the header bolts It's a M8-1.25x30 Part No. 06508687AA

    Is my 08 Viper down on power?

    Warmer weather equals two things... stickier tires and lower power... but that adds up to safer driving... The opposite happens in the fall... looser tires, and cool intakes the cars "feel" stronger... part because the cool air helps, and partly because the tires break loose more easily.

    How to reprogram remote?

    The instructions are in your owners manual... page 20 of the 2008 book... search for "programming additional transmitters" You have to have at least one working transmitter in order to be able to do it yourself. Otherwise it's a dealer trip. Keep in mind the new transmitter needs to be...

    Oil Pressure?

    That's pretty normal... you'll note that 03 was the only year that the oil pressure guage only goes to 80... all other years go to 100 on the guage. And they use the same engine / oiling.

    2008 wheel sensors question.

    It takes like 5 minutes to program a set of wheels to a car... same system on the 08's as is on the 03-06's... You have do it with a DRBIII... The reason you don't see a light immediately after changing wheels is that it takes 7 key cycles (trips) before it will declare the "programmed" set...

    Reverse Lockout

    The Power supply for the Rear O2 heaters and the Reverse Lockout solenoid share the same fuse. So if you short the rear O2 heaters out you also lose the Rev. lockout And Skipshift solenoid.

    Hood switch adjustment (Alarm ...)

    Just leave it unplugged... alarm still arms and protects the other zones... but at least no more wind blowing alarm set offs... Dumbest switch location ever... right in the middle of the bow of the hood... it should be down near the latch... then the heat and contraction won't cause the...

    Locked out

    It's more like 10x the force... 5lbs with the solenoid working... and about 50lbs to overcome the "lock-out" spring. Sometime you need to put your left shoulder into the door trim in order to push hard enough to the right to get it over into the reverse gate with a malfunctioning solenoid.

    Fuel Tank Size Question

    2008 tanks are smaller than the 2003 through 2006 due to regulatory changes. Again thank your politians... The reserves are generally set to give you 50 miles after the low fuel warning goes off... so if you figure a average city drive might be 15mpg... you'd need over 3 gallons reserve to...

    '08 stereo issue.

    The six disc radio went out of production... there was two options... no radio at all or the single disc with mp3 capability / NAV radio option. There are probably a few backup parts available for order if someone wanted to chuck in a six disc changer.

    Why doesn't Dodge more actively promote the ACR Viper?

    JTEC engine controller?

    JTEC is an acronym for Jeep / Truck Engine Controller... The viper computer from roughly 1996 to 2006 was very similar to the unit used to run many of the engines at Chrysler in that time period. It did however undergo several iterations during that decade, so some look outwardly different...
