    Michelin Pilot Super Sports vs Sport AS/3

    Wow !!! Usually there are some pretty knowlegeable guys at my Discount Tire; but, they are often the ones "promoted" to running the counter. I have to say that I switched getting my Viper tires being done from Discount Tire to a local family run specialty wheel store that was recommended on...

    12 year old spark plug wires.

    "Are the wires original?" is one of the first questions that "the Wizard" asked me when I inquired about some other maintenance items when I first bought my car, and I don't believe that he was just fishing for sales. I had the same mileage on my car as yours. I didn't really feel anything...

    What tire place was that? Walmart?

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    It's only on one sidewall, so on directional tires, you only see it on one side of the tire. However, you have new tires now; so, go out and play ! http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=11

    gen 1 cam sensor

    Well, it looks like you are getting what you need.That's what is most important. Not sure how we got different results from Rockauto. I just checked a second time and am still able to find the camshaft sensor for a '94 Viper , and place it in the cart. The photo they used for the part is...

    gen 1 cam sensor

    I didn't know that was true for the Gen I. Rockauto still has them listed for the Gen I; but, no longer has them listed for the Gen II

    gen 1 cam sensor

    I have been reading the thread on another forum that ALL sources for Gen II camshaft position sensors are out. Mopar and all of the aftermarket outlets. One person (vendor?) said that they were all made by the same manufacturer. Looks like the same thing may be happening with the Gen I ? I...

    Snake Bite, I was a victim of it..

    DJV, thanks for posting. We keep telling folks to make sure they have fresh tires because we read these kind of reports periodically. The problem is that there are no "scientific" tests that have been done to demonstrate the actual difference between old and fresh tires. Therefore, people...

    PureOne Oil Filter

    The question I have is, on the Gen 2 vipers that have spun a bearing, what was the cause? Not knowing what the cause was of engine failures really is the main reason that I decided to use the upgraded filter (05037836AB) that the Viper engineers specified for the Viper engine. I agree that...

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    Good to hear ! I've been following the story on the other forum. Much less judgemental tone there; but, that's how internet forums are. You never can tell how "the room" will respond. Pretty typical for the new person to be deemed a liar or a troll untill they prove themselves innocent. At...

    STOLEN: 2002 Dodge Viper GTS - Henderson NV (Las Vegas)

    OP, There are quite a few good people here that will keep an eye out for your car. Hopefully you will get it back, or have insurance to pay it off. http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/cto/5060737057.html

    2013 GTS Canadian spec?

    Thanks for that update. I would never have thought to check where a car was originally sold, with respect to the warranty, until the recent talk about buying Vipers sold in Canada. A person recently posted on one of the Viper forums that he checked with SRT twice and he said that they told him...

    2013 GTS Canadian spec?

    Just be careful in being able to register it in the US. I have not read a post from someone that has done it. One guy described what was necessary and said that it was a very iffy proposition. Then there is also a debate about whether any warranty from Chrysler, CA would be transferrable to a...

    Power Steering Fluid?

    I find the following thread to be very informative; although, if Steve sees this thread he could probably summarize things. What I get out of it is, definitely DO NOT mix the two fluid types in your system. Flush completely if you decide to change fluid types...

    Need help/advice: installation of silicone radiator hose & burping

    I have read a similar thread about extreme difficulty in getting the upper silicone hose installed on the radiator end. That guy bought his hoses from a generic auto parts vendor; not one of the Viper specialists. Probably there is one manufacturer of the Viper hoses since it is such a small...

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

    I agree that I have had quite a few good Optima batteries, and never a bad one. However, they were all purchase before the supposed closing of the US plant. I can't find conclusive evidence that they only produce batteries in Mexico now; but can find their plant address in Mexico. This makes...

    Best looking wheels on Gen I or II ??? Pics please..

    That is an interesting concept when you put it that way. It made me think. When (what approximate year) did brake components become automotive jewelry? It has to be a combination of availability of open wheel designs, and availability of aftermarket brake rotors and calipers. Pretty soon...

    Is there a way to tell if a 2013 has the track pack option?

    I don't know if there is a better reference site; but, here is a listing for the 2013 SRT Viper options http://www.drivesrt.com/news/2012/09/pricing-announced-for-2013-srt-viper-models.html It would be nice to have a "sticky" post at the top of the Gen V forum that lists or links to the various...

    New Owner RT10 2002 Hello From Vegas

    Tires age out due to UV, ozone, and heat; so, miles on the car only affects the amount of rubber lost. The other factors affect the hardness=grip and also cause cracking. You will hear and read a multitude of opinions on when one should replace old tires; but, everyone would agree that 13 year...
