    Brake Pad Wear - Feedback needed

    From the looks of things, you have plenty of pad material left. If you have an extra $200 bucks or so to spend, you can always add "cleaner" (ceramic) aftermarket pads which will keep your wheels cleaner.

    Brake Pad Wear - Feedback needed

    You don't need to remove the calipers to change the pads. You simply drive out the two retaining pins with a small drift and a hammer (a small diameter drill bit small enough to fit the inside diameter of the holes will work) from the outboard side of the caliper. Once the pins are removed the...

    2003 Painted Purple in 2003... What does that do to price???

    The value of the vehicle after an aftermarket paint job (especially a different color than stock) is in the eye of the future beholder. With that being said, I personally wouldn't touch it unless it was painted with all of the body panels removed (like the factory) and reassembled correctly (to...

    SRT 10 WHEELS

    Exactly. That's why they are clear coated in the first place...... to prevent the bare aluminum underneath from oxidizing.

    What do you do with your Leftovers Stock Parts

    After four months, I still have a stock 2005 Commemorative Edition hood lying up against my dining room wall.

    Gen 3 Tire Pressure Sensor's...

    They don't need re-setting if they are the same sensors and if they are reinstalled on your new wheels at the same wheel locations. I just had a new set of '08 OE wheels installed on my '05 and had the sensors mounted to the wheels at the same wheel location from which they were removed. I...

    Is it wrong to ask a seller to bring his car to me for a PPI

    Start the pre-inspection process by running a service history on the VIN at a Dodge Dealership. Then, a Carfax maybe.

    Is power steering coverd under 7/70

    He mentioned the 7/70 powertrain warranty (factory warranty). If he had the Max Care extended warranty (covers everything), he probably wouldn't have asked the question.

    Buying A New RT/10

    I'd have to agree. Not discouragement but honesty. Maintaining these vehicles is not like maintaining a Camry - especially as a daily driver. The standard cost for an oil change (whether you DIY or not) is the entry-level indication of much it costs to maintain these vehicles - especially one...

    Finally Purchased My Dream

    Not on all '04s - up to through the 02/04 build date I think.

    Experience/Advice with Chrysler Corporate?

    I would call Chrysler or next closest Dodge dealership and ask them for the name and number of the regional rep. Give that person a call.

    Letting an interested buyer drive your car

    More like, "would you buy a used car without driving it?"......... I think not.

    2003 Viper Purchase Help!

    Cannot simply polish the factory wheels because they are clear coated. I recall there were two TSB's on the '03. One was the cam bolt torque and the other was the incorrect valve clearance (valve angle). Most of the valve clearance issues were corrected prior to the cars leaving the plant. Make...

    Yes, they are different (uses different part numbers). Both use the same pads.

    are SRT calipers same front and rear ??

    Check the part numbers.

    are SRT calipers the same front and rear???

    They list different part numbers for the front and rears. That should indicate they are not the same. They do, however, use the same pads.

    They totaled my Viper today

    The Viper Truck post won't necessarily help the claim because it is evident (and obvious) that the dealership is at fault and is therefore, liable. The main issue from here is how much money the car is worth and how it long will it take.

    They totaled my Viper today

    They are both liable but the dealership is liable to the owner of the vehicle because it appears that the contract was between the owner and the dealership (the dealership can go after the body shop in a separate civil case). Unfortunately, these things happen all the time with other types of...

    They totaled my Viper today

    There is no act of theft nor the will or intent to commit a criminal act. They are a legitimate business and were in the process of performing a service and screwed up by damaging someone else's property. This is strictly a civil matter. The main thing is making sure that the situation is...

    Optima Battery - Why?

    The issue with Vipers and batteries is simple. Unlike the normal daily driver car, most don't drive these cars enough to keep a contant charge on the battery. The battery eventually drains and after a charge, some of them (particularly the early OE Mopar batteries in the Gen. III) didn't hold...

    Took a trip over to Tomball Dodge (PICS)...

    Now, now Austin.... Where were you this past Saturday? You missed to opportunity to see a few "used" Vipers and some hot (temperature wise) Viper owners as well.

    Why didn't you guys tell me???

    You're not silly for thinking it's still "under" because it is. You're silly for thinking you could get to it the same way. And don't go blaming Dodge for adding the truck mat in '04. LOL....

    fender to hood gap

    There's a little bit more to this that you need to mention. Are you talking about an OE hood or an aftermarket hood (Vipair, Seibon, etc.)? You shouldn't have to make any adjustments to the fenders if you installed an OE hood. The outside dimensions of the '03 - '06 and '08 - 2010 OE hoods...

    Extended Warranty Help

    Yes, some dealers but not the ones you see listed on this website. In your case, the Hyundai brought this car at a rock bottom price and is hoping to make a decent profit off of it. Most non-supporting dealerships (non-Viper dealerships) would rather sell their Viper trades to a wholesaler...
