drivers side window is stuck mid way.
had an issue about 3 weeks ago where it acted up and after cleaning lubing it worked for a short time now has completely failed.
window goes down but not up. troubleshooting reveals power getting to motor when switch is activated up or down.
don't see...
So I am walking into work today and see a white with blue stripes gts parked in the lot next to 2 beat up pos cars. 96 0r 97 sharp looking car.
short time later the owner shows up. nice enough guy but totally clueless as to what he is driving.
his reason for driving it: he wanted a car faster...
"As far as the daily driver thing, I wonder if we will ever see a pic of someone bringing home an Xmas tree (Live ... ok, cut but not plastic) on top of a Viper?"
A while back I saw a picture on the last page of one of the car rags of a gts driving down the road with a huge tool cart hanging...
so after 55,000 miles my ten year old viper developed its second issue, first was a bad temp sending unit, my drivers side window motor is slowly dying and needs replacing.
is this a dyi job and what are the possiblities of getting a motor?
of course I will try parts rack etc. any...
Chuck,
congrats! heres to hoping mine lasts just as long.
bought my 2000 rt/10 3 years ago with 7,500 miles and I just turned 52,000 miles this weekend and still running strong.
easy to put on the miles here in fla. it is a big state with great weather.....
Re: Vipers Were Bullet Proof Up Until 1999, After That They Did Not Have Forged Inter
My 2000 rt/10 has been very reliable. minor mods and I have put on 47,000 miles since I bought it in 2007.
this car rocks!!!!!
and still looks as good as new.
regular maintainence is required to keep it...
funny thing was the rain was building up on the inside of the windshield!
streets turned to rivers so I had to drive slowly to stay on the road.
first thing I did when I got home was remove owners manually and dry seat backs and the rest of the car as much as possible (manual is in a plastic...
normally I can see the rain coming but this time it went from no rain to downpour instantly, didn't have any warning.
car spent 3 days in garage with top off and smell is there but not as noticeable.
carpets, seat backs etc. are not at all wet or damp
Got caught in a five minute monsoon with the top off my rt/10.
damn radar lied. storm popped up just long enough to drench my car!
I had some towels in the car so I was able to cover seats, console etc. until I could pull under a banks overhang, but now car has that musty rain smell.
cleaned...
ok so where I live there are a lot of exotics prowling town.
lambos, ferraris, porsches everywhere. very rarely do I see a viper.
I see about a thousand vettes a week.
this weekend no fewer than 8 vette drivers gave me the wave or the thumbs up. even one of the new zr-1 (sounds great but that...
Hard not to get caught in the rain in south florida.
car handles great, just watch out for the big puddles.
some great advice I read posted once, drive in one higher gear than you normally would when raining and you will be just fine.
I have never had an issue with leaking with my factory hard top on my 2000 rt/10 even after driving 3 hours last weekend in a florida monsoon.
I love my rt/10. it is like so many cars rolled into one. One of the things I love most is the removable back window for those days where I need the...
I ordered one from dave when an overexuberent date leaned to hard on the console and started a very small hairline crack. great quality and it added the strength to the console it should have had in the first place.
and before anyone has a wise comment she was about 5'5" and 110 lbs.
What a group of 1st class people. That is why I frequent this site. I have never seen this kind of comaraderie on any other site.
my thoughts and prayers go out to Dave and his family.
something like this sure puts my puny problems into perspective.
On a recent trip to the keys with 5 other Vipers, the SSG charmed all on lookers.
everyone loved the cars but the SSG got most of the attention.
my black 2000 RT/10, the only gen 2 in the group, gots lots of approval due to the body style, but that damn SSG was the star of the show.
in key...
I am here in naples and mine does the same thing. if I am hopping on it in the lower gears it will go up to 220 hash mark or so but given the chance it will drop back down.
cruisning in 5th or 6th hovers around 190 no matter how hot it is outside.
Just watched the video. Thanks Baz. it is heart wrenching. this is one of the problems in america today- no loyalty. makes me sick.
chuck I have never been to your shop, but you have assisted me via email.
I plan on making a trip up to ct. in the fall to see family (in my viper of course)...
check to see if front and rear wheels are the same type/make/model.
I had old tires(pilots) on front and new ps2 on the rear for about a week.
had exactly the same issue, car would dart around on its own and speed made it much more dangerous.
new ps2s all around car is stable as can be.
car is a 2000 rt/10 w/ 40,000 miles. battery is only 2 months old, wires and plugs were replaced in 9/08.
as for fuel filter, if I read the service manual correctly it said fuel filter is part of the fuel pump assem. located in tank. which means dropping tank to check/ change fuel filter what a...
