    advatages and disadvantages of a Gen II hood on a Gen I

    The car I just bought is a '94 and has the gen II hood on it. the stock airbox has to be modified (ie: cut) to fit the naca duct, other than that it fits right in.. I consider it the best of both worlds.. great looking hood and the awesome sidepipes. -Bruce

    I’m so grateful for extended warranty

    I did research the archives prior to posting. I could see an engine rebuild based on serious issues within the engine.. ie: sleeves shifting.. but the common concensus on the boards was that the gen I engines leak due to faulty head gasket materials. Statements by longtime board members often...

    I’m so grateful for extended warranty

    Ok.. I don't get this.. why does the car have to be sent in for a rebuild if the head gaskets leak?? If the issue is the head gasket material, then why don't they just pull the head, replace with the newer material and reassemble? or is this a case that people are soaking dodge for a new engine...

The combination of newer hood and color are partly on what had sold me about this car. Just curious though as to how to tell the difference on the...

    New Viper Owner!/ Warranty Question?

    Just wanted to say many thanks to all of you for the useful information posted here. I was able to get the extended warranty coverage i needed for my viper at over $800 less than originally quoted by the local dealer. I definitely would like to say Chuck Tator of Tator Dodge was EXTREMELY...

    New Viper Owner!/ Warranty Question?

    Well Hell.. the price i posted was for added care.. not the added care plus (additional $500 they wanted for the plus). Dealer said they could definitely still warranty it though. I wonder what the deal is?? It was the dealership general manager i talked to about this, he said their prices come...

Thanks goes to to Marko of the Nevada VCA for assistance in finding a good viper tech. I wanted to get an...

    Headgaskets & Extended Warranties

    I've been reading the archives and doing a lot of research on vipers in the last month, and i've been running into some conflicting information that I was hoping the board might be able to clear up. 1. Headgaskets.. This is a known failure point it seems.. From what I've read, most gen I cars...
