    Anyone use Mopar brake bleeder?

    The Service Manual lists a Mopar pressure bleeder part number along with a Viper specific reservoir cap part number, Miller Tools. The pressure bleeder is not for sale anymore so you can buy one from Motive Products for $40-$50. The reservior cap (probably what you have) is $40 or $50 from...

    Help - anyone make a n AFTERMARKET Gen. 1 soft top ...

    Why spend the $$ on another softtop when they work like crap and are a pain to fit? Invest the $$ in the 3 piece hardtop that fits in the trunk. The guy advertises in our Michigan VCA newsletter and everyone has good things to say about his product.

    Need wheels & tires for Gingerman 05/20

    John, A Michigan member has wheels and tires for sale. I know him, he's a good guy. I don't think you can go wrong here because you can sell them later when you have more time to get a dedicated racing set. Craig One vehicle set of 2001 model year OEM Viper wheels & tires used less than...

    Need wheels & tires for Gingerman 05/20

    John, I sent your request to the MCVO board, they have a lot of connections and might find a set. Another option is that many people going will have extra tires/wheels and you might pick up a set there. Craig

    Where's The Wizard...I need Parts!

    Re: Where\'s The Wizard...I need Parts! Jeff, If you are doing brakes, of course you'll be doing fluid. You should check out the Motive Products, Brake Bleeder. The thing is totally cool for $50. Pressurized bleeding like Service Manual recommends. Their Ford 3 prong adapter fits Viper...

    Who all by a show of hands has a power steering vent?

    Dennis, Not true regarding what your Viper Tech is saying. The tube's purpose is to vent air from the reservoir while keeping the cap from turning. It also assists in stopping fluid "spray" which occurs on the OEM cap because it raises the height excess fluid needs to travel up before making...

    Viper won't idle!! Any tricks?

    Re: Viper won\'t idle!! Any tricks? Also, clean the IAC. Easy to do, maybe 30 minute job really taking your time. Remove from passenger throttle body, remove hose and insert in airbox, remove two screws and take IAC in half....clean everything with sensor safe cleaner.

    Side pod burning,

    Depends on your year. Early ones had the shield and insulation rivited together but we all know about the corrosion issues that caused. Later ones were glued with a high temp rtv or silicone type. If you have cats in, you'll continually run into the problem, remove or go with high...

    Removing a side exhaust cover on a 96 RT/10

    Use two credit cards under the plastic caps to squeeze together and remove. Once screws are removed, use plyers or screwdriver and hammer or whatever to flatten the holes. Then dab a qtip of por15 on the holes. Buy the new grey screws if you have an old one with the black ones, the grey ones...

    Is it necessary to keep the same diameter on a H pipe?

    The H pipe balances pressure, doesn't really act as a primary path for exhaust to flow. Is there any reason why it couldn't be something like 1" in a 2.5" exhaust if it was placed before cat?

    Smooth tubes? opinions needed

    Chad, More airflow equals more hp. The K/N filters work fine if you remove the clips (when the car is warm, don't do it when cold and snap the plastic tab on the box or you will be screwed) lay them flat, tap them with a hammer to lenghten them just a tad, not flat, works perfect. Chad, Email...

    Smooth tubes? opinions needed

    Look at the inside of your stock tube and you'll get it. Restricts airflow with all the ridges.

    Smooth tubes? opinions needed

    There's someone, maybe Cragin, selling the red ones with the bend like Mopar but at 75% off their price. I'd like them in black like that but Mopar ones are the only option now to get black with the bend.
