    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    You can do it either way since we are talking about the same black vaccum line but it's a lot easier to put it on the engine side since (at least on my 00) to remove the A/C controler,you need to pull the dash out to access the screws holding it and I don't think that you can reach the valve by...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    I'm sure than the A/C clutch dis-engage at WOT but, that's not the reason for the vent problem The clutch cycle all the time under the control of the low pressure cycling clutch switch and you don't loose airflow to the vents. No,why am I sure that the clutch dis-engage at WOT? The service...

    AC shuts off when on the gas pedal

    Darkshadow: The answer is very simple: All the valves/flaps are actuated by vaccum motors,the one we are talking about is open with vaccum and closed with no vaccum. When you put a check valve,even at WOT,the vaccum stay in the lines/vaccum motors and allow the valve to stay open,so basically...

    Save your Viper Engine

    Of course wear does occur at start up,as well than when the engine is running,otherwise an engine will last forever, the real question is how much more "life" an engine designed for $150k miles will gain with an Accusump. 5,10,50,100 miles? I agree with you that oil starvation is a lot more...

    We got to see the coupe in the sunlight today!

    I like it a lot, the market value of the GTS just went up!!! Seriously, in my eyes,the major design flaw is this weird mix of angle/square lines with round/flowing lines. look at the 2nd picture, the side vent has only straight/angle lines and the rear closure panel/spoiler has round/flowing...

    SS oil cooler lines

    If you're talking about the 2 lines going to the oil cooler, it doesn't matter, the oil cooler is not "directional" and you can reverse the in and out . Luc.00GTS

    Save your Viper Engine

    I agree 100% with Tom, this 50% wear during startup is nothing more than marketing gimick,engine life is built-in during design and is at a minimum 150k to 500K (big rig diesel) on a Viper,with the very low yearly annual miles, it will be a lot smarter to invest those $500/$700 cost of the...

    Rotor's gone bad?? Pics inside.......

    Re: Rotor\'s gone bad?? Pics inside....... The answer is very simple, cross drilled rotors (save for cast holes as with Ferrari,Porsche,etc)are crap and should not be used. All for look, nothing for performance. luc.00GTS

    Ask them for the parts #'s and how many hours the job take. I can check the parts price for you but it do seems a little steep. Luc.00GTS

    Is this much oil leaking "normal"....

    Re: Is this much oil leaking B4 being able to fix it ( the dealer is pulling your leg,oil leaks,except on British cars, is not normal) you need to find out where the leak come from. Clean all the oil and spray some baby powder/talc around the area. Drive for 20/30 miles and inspect the area...

    SRT Quad Cab stage 1 results.

    Pretty amazing (or the stock are way too restricted) that you can get 95hp and 115lbs (assuming a 15% loss) with just those mods. On a Viper,with those mods,you will be lucky to get 50% of this increase. Are you talking peak HP/Torque ? luc.00GTS

    Bug Wash

    Yes, there is. Go to your local market and buy some H2O2, better know as hydrogen peroxide, the type that you use to clean small cuts/wounds. The best way to apply it to use an empty bottle of Windex or similar and spray the H2O2 on the bugs. Let it stand for a few minutes and you will see...

    What year GTS to buy?

    A GTS is not hard to drive but, due to the torque, you need to use your brain a little more than with other cars. As for which year,there is no bad or good year,each year has it's + and - b4 00 they have forged pistons but the inside is nicer in the 99 and up. The 2000 and up due to their...

    Yes,those speakers work on a Gen II, I did it on my 00GTS and the sound quality is better, not sure if they are as much an upgrade than on the SRT since my factory speakers were not made in China but in Japan. luc.00GTS

    gen 2 vipers on the highway

    I'm 6.3 and I have no problem being comfortable on a long trip with one caveat: either drive barefoot or with some sleeper/racing shoes,this way you can slide your left foot under the clutch pedal in order to "stretch" your left leg. Luc 00GTS
