    Do I actually need a tune (or a VEC1)?: 96 GTS heads/cam 511 whp (but then there's 675 nitrous)

    The VEC 1 was used before the production computer could be tuned and was a compromise. The electronics tended to not be automotive grade and failed over time. With tuning software and lots development over years with those who are involved with Viper's. Tuning is more straightforward and...

    rear main seal while i'm in there?

    I would not replace these unless there is some leakage. The design of the factory seal is good. Pressing the new seal in the old retaining plate can cause issues if not done right. The flywheel bolts should be replaced.

    What software for Oem ECU Remap?

    Dan Lesser can help you. If you are using Belanger headers, I would highly recommend you relocate the upstream O2 sensors into the collector. The current location is in one header tube, close the head, to reduce trouble codes for the sensor heating element, not warming up fast enough. Problem...

    Looking for honest answers regarding Gen III & IV Parts Availability

    There is very little in parts from the dealer, but there is a large network of companies to tap into for OE and used parts. They are expensive, but what is not these days. Also the fact that so many of these cars have been salvaged (Torque is something people don't get, we sold them on Friday...

    Gen I 1992/early 93 Radiator removal versus late 93 & up & Gen II. Total Insanity!

    92-93's are a ***** to remove the radiator and bleed the air out of the system. They did not come with AC and when added could overheat. The fans where part of the radiator support which made them hard to service. The cooling system was updated in 1994 to include a single two speed fan and a...

    GEN5 Antigravity Lithium Battery

    These are great as long as they don't become discharged for any period of time. Then they wont recover. Batteries are consumables like tires and oil. I just change Viper batteries every three years and use a sealed battery. A battery tender helps if you only drive every few few weeks. For...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    It could just be the nature of that used trans, in a different car. You just never know with used parts. You might want to have the driveshaft sent out and checked for balance. I had a couple on racecars that bent the shaft , causing a vibration.

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    Ok, I experienced some engine vibration with these aftermarket trans mounts on the Gen 2's, more so with the metal plate installed under the mount. Solid or high durometer engine mounts make it worse. Do you feel the vibration in neutral with rpm?

    Clicking noise from drive train when taking off from a stop

    Replacing the bearings is not hard, but its critical that you torque the rear bearings correctly at the axle nut. Only use premium bearings. They make some really cheap ones that don't last. On a Gen 1 with under 50k miles that has not been tracked, with no wheel play or excessive grease...

    Clicking noise from drive train when taking off from a stop

    The issue is the splines in the rear bearing hubs. They become worn and make a cracking noise on takeoff. Dodge had a service notice at one time to replace the rear wheel bearings. If the rear bearings are in good shape, you can just swap the left and right bearings. This allows the splines to...

    Coilovers / suspension options Gen V

    Tractive is the only option if you want dual Mode. It can be tuned as well. MCS with a 500/800 spring rate would be best for you use if you delete dual mode
