    Some recent local Vipers (pic heavy!)

    NICE!! Will attend an American Car Meeting today with my Snake and hope to meet some other Viper guys. Will post some pics later today/tomorrow as well. Weather is perfect here in Germany and I think it will be an awesome event (they expect between 1500-2000 US cars!). I am in particular...

    First Time Viper Owner- Hennessey 500

    Exhaust seems to be aftermarket (difficult to see though)....

    Overheating 2000 GTS

    What about water pumps of earlier years? Are they less supspect than '00-'02 (have a '98 RT/10)?

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    Added another system to my shortlist: - JL Audio C3-600 (no modifications should be required as it is a true 6.0" system) Anyone who has this installed?

    Any recommendations on what anti-freeze to use.

    Thanks for the insight! Trying to better understand the whole story I browsed the internet a bit and found an article from which I extracted the following interesting statements: "Chrysler, the last of the Detroit 3 car makers to use a silicated antifreeze, has switched to an organic acid...

    Any recommendations on what anti-freeze to use.

    Can you elaborate a bit more on what it exactly does to the inside of the engine? After quite some research on this forum I decided that it would be better to use the same type of coolant for the refresh as I did not want to flush the system a couple of times before filling in red or purple...

    Thanks! Good to know that this is normal.

    Belanger or Borla exhaust?

    I just installed a Corsa cat back exhaust system a few months ago on my 98 RT10, now it sounds like the way a Viper should sound! :smirk:

    I have checked the dimensions of the woofer and it seems to be too big to fit the stock cut out. So I assume you had to enlarge the opening in the door?

    Fuel Trims at Idle (Diagram)

    I was playing around the other day with my ODBII reader (Autel MS509) just out of curiosity. Car runs fine, no issues ('98 RT/10 stock except for Corsa catback, hiflow cats & smooth tubes). I sampled the Idle mode after driving around for a few miles and then spent some time to create a diagram...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    Thanks so far for your tips. As for the head unit: that is also on my list but I prefer to start with the speakers. According to my own experience with former cars (and also with my home audio system) the (stock) speakers are usually the weakest element in the chain and you can gain a lot by...

    For the Stereo Buffs among You...

    I am approaching my next project, I guess... After I have completed improving my core sound system (installed Corsa catback) I am now looking at my backup system, the stereo ;) I will start with just replacing the front/door speakers of my '98 RT/10. I was searching quite some time for a...

    Any recommendations on what anti-freeze to use.

    Does your statement regarding old coolants apply to the Mopar Green Antifreeze as well? Or are you referring to other coolants when you say "old coolants"?

    Decided to fix my sagging Headliner (Pics)

    To remove the fasteners I used one of those plastic clip removers (e.g. from KS Tools). I think the Lowes fasteners don't come with the fabric heads, that's why I purchased the OEM ones to keep the stock look. Maybe you could remove the headliner while the top is installed but I don't recommend...

    What exactly is a "Mopar flush"?? Just a normal flush or something particular? Thanks!

    Any recommendations on what anti-freeze to use.

    I also did not remove the radiator drain plug since many of you here had advised not to do it. The engine drain plugs in my case did come out relatively easily. I never had the feeling to crack something. But I do had to apply some human torque.... I more had a concern of cracking something (not...

    Decided to fix my sagging Headliner (Pics)

    True!!! Luckily I live more in the western part of Germany where we had been spared from the rain and flood. But in Bavaria and eastern parts of the country it is really bad. Normally, I am jealous on the people living in the south of Germany for the nice weather. Not so this time....I actually...

    Any recommendations on what anti-freeze to use.

    Used the factory fill product (mopar antifreeze green, 3 yrs) recently. Wasn't easy to get here in Germany :crazy2: . Also removed the engine drain plugs. Was a bit of a mess although I tried to avoid it being a mess as much as I could...

    Exhaust

    Too funny!! I was in exactly the same situation (incl. the '98 RT/10). After quite some reading and researching I decided to go for the Corsa 3" catback (because of the missing drone) plus HF cats (for cooler side sills). Would do it again this way.

    I have a killer car!!

    Literally! Last weekend I was cruising around with my RT/10 when on the road in front of me a dove made itself/himself/herself (???) comfortable. I was going approx. 70 km/h, took the foot off the gas and was thinking: "Gee, dove, move your ass and get out of the way!!" However, the dove did...

    Decided to fix my sagging Headliner (Pics)

    I got that in a department store (textile department) for 5,- € together with approx. 30 (?) black O rings/eyelets (4mm). Just bring your own hammer....:smirk:
