    Just bought K&N Viper (Jerry Mall?)

    Dan Cragin would probably know something about the car. Have you contacted K&N directly to inquire?

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    Connect a fuel pressure gauge at the Schrader valve on the intake manifold. It could be a plugged fuel filter in the left rear wheel well. Maybe the regulator is bypassing back to the tank? That would heat the fuel and cause vapor to try and push to the engine compartment. Carefully check the...

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    There is nothing magical, or mystical about the very early Chrysler OBD-2 JTEC engine controller. It is about as simple as they come. If you have the correct manuals and someone with competency in English and fundamental electronic diagnostic skill, this can be solved. Your $4500 should have...

    Your Dodge dealer can still get this entire assembly for about $20.

    Gen1 interior trim screws?

    For the early Vipers - all the engine fasteners are US threads. With rare exception, all the rest of the body and frame fasteners are metric.

    1996 RT/10 - fuel filter replacement

    That fuel inlet line is pretty boogered up from previous attempts. I really struggled with my GTS filter a year ago. A good bit of sandy grit had accumulated in it and the line wouldn't release. Ended up using air, brake cleaner, then WD and kept working at it until it released. Access is very...

    Door Hinge Wires

    This is true. However, the connectors are common modular corporate models of a given configuration and pin count. A takeout could have enough conductor length and count to utilize unstressed OE conductors. Pins can be swapped in the housings pretty easily. Just a few thoughts for...

    An 18mm crowfoot line wrench is just about mandatory for the hydraulic lines at the steering rack.

    How to replace an IAC motor on a Gen 1

    I'd do a throttle cable synch just to eliminate another possibility.

    Door Hinge Wires

    It's possible that the harness was used for another car in the corporate lineup. It would be nice to know what it might have been...

    PCV Grommet alternatives?

    Your car's grommet has a plastic n ipple inside it to connect an extension hose to the pcv valve. Otherwise, it is standard Mopar. Pop the old grommet out, cut it to get at the n ipple and swap it to the new one. In the photo below, I was tinkering with a larger vent hose idea.

    PCV Grommet alternatives?

    Here's a very carefully kept secret: the Chrysler Corporation has used EXACTLY THE SAME PCV GROMMET FOR ALL ENGINES SINCE 1967. Shhhhhhh!

    Fuel pressure reg needed

    How old is your fuel pump? I'd put more money on that as the source of your problems than a regulator that only has a spring in it unlikely to fail. That's been my experience.

    Door Hinge Wires

    Yes, the door wire harness s ucks a root. Next time you are working on the interior panels, it's very helpful to use a pick to probe around thru the outer hole and help locate/align the blind hole behind it. Start with the ones that are easiest and the remainder will pretty well self-align.

    Gen 2 overheating in Texas sun… go figure

    Thanks for the update. Most unfortunate about the gas cylinder. Did it just pop loose from the ball stud on the glass and whack a panel?

    Looking for a gen 2 water pump.

    Only a very small group of Viper owners/enthusiasts are offering this service. Some owners are finding a way to do it themselves.

    30 years a Viper owner

    It was a very happy (and HOT) August 14, 1993 for me. My third child had been born a little over a week before, then my gleaming Black '93 RT/10 hit the streets of New Braunfels and San Antonio WITH air conditioning! Lord that car was beautiful - and fun to drive on the track. I traded it 3...
