    Rear wheel breaks off!!!

    What ultimately happens when strength is sacrificed for weight savings. Unless the knuckle was subjected to an "unusual" amount of stress from impact to the wheel, etc. or a discontinuity in the casting, this should never happen.

    free stock exhaust

    Good luck with that. Everytime I look at mine, I think about just chucking it in the trash (I installed a Corsa system about two years ago). The stock Gen. III mufflers are useless without tips and there's no way I'm going to fight trying to re-install them with the crossover if I decide to...

    How do I get an avatar and owner status?

    Very unfortunate that happened to you. However, that car show could have been a sanctioned event by their local VCA section. A portion of the annual member dues go towards these types of events. Therefore, it would have been unfair to them.......

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    They won't do anything until a class-action lawsuit shows up on their front doorstep.

    Calling All '05 Commemorative Editions

    Yes, the '96 RT/10 was not a Commemorative Edition car. I was fortunate enough to own one of these which sort of made me trade in my black '04 Gen. III for an '05 Commemorative. One unique feature of the '96 was the white painted wheels - the only car with non-silver painted and non-polished...

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    Unfortunately, they are not required to unless there are legitmate safety implications. A class-action lawsuit may be a way to get their attention. The insult to injury is the pricetag on the these things........

    Window Regulator -GEN 3/4 Archilles Heel

    So what if the newly designed version can be retrofitted onto the Gen. III/IV. No one wants to pay $1k + labor for a replacement - especially if it costs less than $100 to manufacture.

    Trading in my '09 coupe to dealer...

    Yep. New Car Buying 101: Know what your trade is worth, pay as close to the dealer cost/invoice as possible (depends on the car of course), and for goodness sakes, know your credit score if financing through the dealer.

    Trading in my '09 coupe to dealer...

    Remember that KBB, NADA, Edmunds, etc. are only guides and are based on depreciation with the "tweaks" coming from the mileage, condition, and options. The true market value of a vehicle such as the Viper is based on supply and demand and you can use sites such as Autotrader, Ebay, etc. to...

    Head gaskets

    Try seaching the service history with the VIN through a Dodge dealership if you haven't already done so.

    Can anyone check a Viper near Houston TX this weekend? Wil Compensate of Course!

    I live on the Southeast side of Houston so that may save you some time and money by not having to drive all the way to Conroe. The issue is I'm only available Friday and early Saturday morning (before 9 a.m.).

    Want a White Viper, Who knows of one?

    I have an '05 Commemorative Edition (#19 of 100) with 5,800 miles. I'm the original owner, garage kept, never seen rain, regularly serviced by Viper tech, and no accidents or damage. Been thinking about a 2013 but still undecided. May be willing to sell mine for the right price but for less...

    Corsa Exhaust Info

    Does the owner have a receipt or invoice showing the actual Corsa part number? The 14176 is the 2.5" and the 14174 is the 3".

    No Brake pressure

    All of this sounds good but the question still remains: What caused pressure loss if the system was never de-pressurized by breaking open the lines or the bleed screw? Should not have lost pressure if all that was done was a pad and rotor swap.

    Calling All '05 Commemorative Editions

    Yep, I have a Gen. IV hood. My warranty is up in April so I'm 50/50 as of now on whether or not to renew it or sell the car and jump into a Gen IV or V. I still have the original hood therefore, if the car is sold, it will be sold in its original stock condition with the Gen. III hood (and...

    Watch out for this Blue/White 08 Viper on eBay

    Just reading his description would make me stay away from this car. Sounds like an idiot......

    Oil leak Help

    Check your PS lines at the fan motor for a possible source. PS and brake fluids are the only "clear" fluids with potential leak sources in the general engine bay area.

    Brake torque spec

    I did a rotor changeout about a year and a half ago and asked Chuck "the Viper Wizard" Tator the same question. His answer was 85 ft lbs.

    SRT10 Advice!

    In addition, better cooling, brakes, and AC.

    SRT10 Advice!

    Same process as buying any pre-owned vehicle. Check the VIN against Carfax and a Dodge service department for the service history. Get a Viper tech or find a competent Viper owner to do an inspection.

    What are stripes made of?

    True but whether or not is was cost effective to Dodge was not the question (which the folks at Prefix had confirmed). The question was whether or not they were reliable and coming from an owner of one, I never had any issues.

    What are stripes made of?

    Same here. Had a white/blue RT-10. Yes, the stripes were vinyl then clear coated but never heard of or experienced any issues.
