    Help Needed Viper won't start

    Do I remember that a wire going to the O2 sensors, shorting out due to laying against hot headers will cause this? I thought that I have read about folks with aftermarket headers occasionally resulting in O2 wire routing problems. This is an old guy's memory though. Seems that Steve is...

    Gen I wrap around instrument panel plastic - very discolored - paint

    Looks like a lot of work; but, great payback in self satisfaction if it comes out decent. Post a picture if you do it. Good luck.

    New Tow Vehicle Eco Diesel Ram

    That's a good question. The variables in the equation are so variable that it is hard to compute. The cost of diesel as a percentage relative to regular unleaded gas varies widely. Today in my area, Diesel =$3.40/gal ; Regular Unleaded gas =$ 2.65/gal That means that at 20mpg for the gas...

    General's Highway Rte 198 in SoCal -v- Deal's Gap (The Dragon) TN/SC

    When are you planning on doing this? Being in the Sierras, I would be concerned about encountering snow or ice at higher elevations. I don't know if that's an issue right now with the drought conditions in CA. I took a trip over there 3 years ago in the summer, and drove that highway and...

    I'm confused.

    If you are looking for which club to join, I would suggest doing that based on your personal goals. If just an internet presence, then just go by what content that the sites deliver. If you want local involvement, then, the local club's affiliation is what is important. IMHO, most of the...

    New Tow Vehicle Eco Diesel Ram

    I'd be interested in that mpg. (loaded or unloaded.)

    Happy to be a new Viper owner and VCA member

    Agreed ! But I'd say, change it if it is anything other than honey / veg oil colored. Best to start ownership of a performance car with known fluid conditions, especially brakes. I never hear of boiling brakes on the street (except long downhill runs); but, given the propensity of brake fluid...

    06 coupe with engine concern

    Interesting. I was wondering if there was a chart like the one I've always seen for sparkplugs.

    Getting desperate finding a part, can you help?

    Looks promising. For more detail, one can enter the part # from the Autozone web page into the manufacturer's parts page http://www.wellsve.com/parts/ and click on the "Miscellaneous Documents " and Sales Drawings.

    Getting desperate finding a part, can you help?

    Parts are often common to other vehicles. It is a long shot; but, maybe if you posted a few pictures of what you need, perhaps someone could come up with an equivalent part.

    Good deal on new TA or not?

    But, the ACR could take many months to find someone looking for a collector show car in order to sustain a premium asking price; which, I agree is its "value." However, mid-upper 40s is probably reasonable for a non-collector mileage; but, low mileage (5-10k mile) car that someone would drive...

    Viper Track Event at Buttonwillow Jan 17-18, 2015

    IMHO, I, for one, am not taking your posts the wrong way. I take them as sour grapes, party pooper, self serving, overly-suspicious, holier than thou, and perhaps trying to squelch a competing activity before it becomes a regularly scheduled event. I have heard folks involved in making this...

    Viper Track Event at Buttonwillow Jan 17-18, 2015

    The other thing to point out for novices is that Buttonwillow is one of the most "open" tracks in the US. Only a couple of places one could get in trouble and only if you are really pushing hard. I would feel pretty darned safe there. Plus, the track is newly repaved. This would be the...

    What should I do with these tires?

    Yes, but which one would you drive. The one with aftermarket or the one with 50 year old tires? LOL ! ( I know. Two sets of wheels. One for the showroom and one for the go room.)

    What is the best Shifter for Gen II Vipers?

    I think that I heard that you can get alternative centering springs for the IPSCO one. I had the B&M which is good; but, I wanted more centering action, so, I went to Ace Hardware and got a replacement spring that worked better for me. The B&M is an easier install than the Hurst due to its...

    What should I do with these tires?

    How many collectors are looking for a 65 spit window coupe or similar with original tires? That market segment would be tiny, tiny, tiny. A waste of garage space, IMHO.

    About to pull the trigger on a leftover 2013 GTS... thoughts? Input

    If you don't talk them down to at least 84.8k, just turn your man card in. You will have failed as a hunter gatherer, LOL ! When you were 12 and you wanted a toy, did you obsess over details? This is a big boy's toy. Want it? Buy it. Don't talk about price ever again. It is not relevant to...

    Anyone else notice the Gen5 trolls have not been around

    There is an option on that Porsche to allow you to do that launch remotely so that you don't have the driver's weight slowing it down. Those guys are winning hands down at the drag strips.

    Anyone else notice the Gen5 trolls have not been around

    The answer for the Viper on the drag strip is for Dodge to offer a JATO option, if it doesn't matter what technology gets you the fastest time. The reason I have been hesitant to buy a Gen V is because my Jeep Rubicon is a much more capable vehicle on dirt & rocky roads for a fraction of the...

    Power Steering Issue 97 GTS - Question for members

    P.S, Make sure that your harmonic balancer/damper bolt is tight and the damper is not loose on the crankshaft snout. Just saying that because that is a common problem and could possibly have been the initiator of the belt wobbling and PS pulley finally failing. (Although, it is very common...

    Power Steering Issue 97 GTS - Question for members

    The Roe Racing steel pulley requires spacers which are provided in order to get the offset correct on Gen 2. That is the most popular kit, I think. i.e., aluminum pulley and bracket. The Roe Racing kit is steel pulley and aluminum bracket.

    Mich PS2...very low thread with only 4000mi????

    If you are down to "thread," that is certainly worn severely !! LOL. Seriously, though, is the tread worn evenly across the tire or is the problem you are describing only at the outer or inner edge? Since it is only the rears, if you are only driving "casually", and if the wear is limited mainly...

    Does anyone ever see the "Home page" for this site?

    I don't see where the Viper club celebrating their marque's winning of racing championships this year is a bad thing. Why would the Viper club want to post up pictures of a Dart? This isn't a manufacturer's website. Maybe the Dart club will do that. Speaking for myself, I am disappointed...
