    Thermostat stuck open???

    Welcome to 'old car love'. I made the mistake of NOT changing the t-stat when I did my gaskets two years ago. My T-stat failed last winter...same as yours. stuck open....... Just do it.

    Thermostat stuck open???

    Sorry to hear it. It's a PIA to swap a t-stat on a '94. It's tight back there but it can be done without removing anything but the cowl and wiper blades... A good little project for this weekend IMO.

    Spare tire

    I have one that came with my gen 1 and you can have it for the cost of shipping... It's been collecting dust in my garage for a few months and I've been eyeing it for scrap value. pm me an address and it's yours.

    No trade for a Challenger... TOO BIG TO CLEAN...

    What you need to do is step back a bit. Viper is a young man's car. You are a young man. -- Just sayin'

    What shifter do you guys use in place of the stock shifter?

    Search. There are tons of opinions here about shifters etc. I have a B&M in my '94. Far better than stock..IMO

    Viper owners did you put your front license plates on your car..if still required?

    Re: Viper owners did you put your front license plates on your car..if still required 11 years. no tickets...tons of miles. Yep, my time is about up, I guess. The cops near me know my car... I hope that helps. Granted, I'd pull both plates if I could. As a Libertarian, I see auto...

    What's your estimated annual mileage?

    I do about 8k/yr... All in fun but with the occasional trip to work. I do around 3-4k in roadtrips/vacations every year in my old '94; the rest is in Sunday drives and good times. Cheers

    1995 RT/10 Value?

    '95 is for sure the best gen 1. If you want a gen 1..... Jump on it. Just know that gen 1 cars are very basic, open cars. (almost like a bike, IMO)..... Just keep the old DD and enjoy the viper like it was supposed to be enjoyed... topless.

    Looks Like I have a Leak by the A/C Condenser

    *edit* *edit* *edit*

    Has any one recharged their Air Conditioning themselves?

    blue's right. Overcharging will make it work as bad or worse. Good comment on watching the condensate on the suction line...

    It was 96 last week. Time to fix this A/C!!! Need some advise

    A/C systems that make clouds... are slightly low on charge but still make cold air. If you leave it on while it does that the coil will freeze and the compressor will eventually start cycling on/off... I doubt it will hurt anything but it does mean you need an A/C checkout.

    Has any one recharged their Air Conditioning themselves?

    Buy a 12oz can of 134a. Try to find a setup that has a hose with a pressure gauge. Follow the instructions on the setup you buy but here are a few pointers. Listen for the A/C compressor. If it cycles on/off/on/off etc, the charge is probably low and you'll see the gauge pressure drop/rise...

    Steering wheel shaking

    Do a little search here but you'll find many vipers here are wearing Kuhmos. At around 1/3 lower in price than PS2s they're a good option and WAY better than what you have now! Apparently, they have good dry weather traction and tread life but aren't quite as good as the PS2s in wet...

    Steering wheel shaking

    The Michellin thats "falling apart" doesn't say XGT on the side does it? :omg: .... Probably safe to say that a tire falling apart will throw it out of balance!! Yep, time for some new shoes.
