    GTS vs ACR

    The issue that I had that made me not rebuild the DS shocks the second time was that I had not noticed that some of the shocks had lost their gas charge. That resulted in the cylinder getting scored on 2 of them. Since there were replacement parts, the rebuilder said that they would have had...

    GTS vs ACR

    My 2002 with the Dynamics Suspension shocks rode GREAT after replacing the 1100 pound rear springs with 800 or 850 lbs, whichever Lon at viperpartsrack recommended. That is a highly recommended mod for the ACRs with the DS shocks. I bought the ACR (used) for the added uniqueness and the...

    Advice for someone looking for a 2017 GTS

    From the dealer's posts online, he sounds like his team made a well informed investment. I hope that it works out for him. Perhaps he sees it as a way to become a go-to Viper dealer when the 2018 or 2019 model comes out.

    Advice for someone looking for a 2017 GTS

    I would disagree. I think that the 1 of 1 program was done to increase the probability of sales and maximize profit. It looks like the program worked perfectly for the company. They sold all of the allotment.

    Head Gasket replacement - Who has done it themselves?

    Jack B's cautions are excellent advice. They are based on best practice as a result of things getting screwed up. If there is sufficient friction between the rings and the liners, and the liner has less friction with the block, you could move the liner out of position. What percentage of the...

    Carpet Fastener

    I don't know about that specific fastener; but, look at the rack of miscellaneous fasteners by Dorman at Autozone.

    Scratched the car already!

    I would hurry up and fix it before you do it again. That way, you will have prior experience at fixing it. ;)

    advice please on purchase of gen v launch edition

    I have read many posts on the subject, and have only seen guesses that appear to be non-scientific in nature. It appears to me that anyone that might actually have a clue, is probably limited by a non-disclosure clause in their employment contract (common here in the US.)

    issues with my viper

    Arrow Racing Engines is so well known in the Viper world that old timers forget that the new folks don't know of them yet.

    Gen ii spun bearing !!!

    Sorry if I got us off into a warranty discussion. (I do find that to be an interesting topic, though.) I was mainly exposing my lack of a sense of humor about some other viper guy's unfortunate situation.

    Gen ii spun bearing !!!

    I definitely agree. I am looking for a used Gen V to buy; so, I am closely following the threads concerning failures. The photos posted yesterday seem to indicate that the cause of the failure has nothing to do with what Dodge contended was the cause, the Arrow PCM, and is consistent with...

    Gen ii spun bearing !!!

    I do come to the forums for the humor also. I guess that it is just my background that sees a line somewhere close to this situation. Making fun of a stranger, yet a fellow Viper enthusiast, who is facing a $10,000+ cost for repairing a Viper engine with a known manufacturing defect. Not...

    Gen ii spun bearing !!!

    The Gen 2 technical forum of the VCA forum was part of the reason that I joined the VCA 10 years ago, and is why I still visit the site, even though I am currently without a Viper. I still visit the forums because I like paying back to the Viper owner community, especially the new folks who are...

    NEW OWNER 2004 srt 10...noise developed

    Just in case he does find that the noise comes from around the header, tell him about the contents of the following thread if he is not familiar with the Viper. I think that the crack is typically on the back side of the header. Obviously, he should also consider the gasket...

    NEW OWNER 2004 srt 10...noise developed

    Cracked exhaust header on Gen 3 is a common failure mode; but, I didn't think that it would make the kind of noise that OOP describes, and his mileage is so low. I have never heard one, though.

    Woodhouse/Arrow Mods

    Reportedly, FCA has voided the 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty in the case of 2 engine failures that had Arrow controllers on them at some time. The latest incident reported listed the various systems included in what FCA "restricted." (The word restricted was what the vistim used.)...
