    Help me out...w/ Engine Temperatures

    As Warren says, there is a known problem with water pumps on the 01's where the blade spins on the impeller shaft. I'd suggest replacing the water pump.

    Thinking about building a garage.

    A lift for stacking parked cars is a good idea. Even if you don't want or need one now, at least make the ceiling high enough to accommodate one. I'm not sure I'd be comfortable using a lift to stack cars if one of them is driven every day or other day. I think my lift has 7 feet between the...

    New Garage Pictures

    Guys, thanks for the compliments. I was not aware of the door opener covers' tendencies to fall -- will take precautions to prevent that. I have absolutely no idea why the county would allow a 2-car + carport and not a 3-car. I had resigned myself to a 24x24 2-car, and was tickled pink when...

    New Garage Pictures

    After several years of planning and saving, and after a very rainy spring season here in Northern Virginia, my Viper garage is finally finished. County zoning would not let me build a 3-car garage, but they would allow a 2-car detached garage with a carport. So the Perfect Park lift is in the...

    New Owner

    Welcome to the Viper Nation! I use the Viper Tech at Manassas Dodge, Scott Bothum, and am very satisfied with his work. Jeff Sherwin at Jerry's Dodge in Springfield is also very good. I've no experience with the tech at Fair Oaks, and Brown's Dodge has a new tech, from what I've heard. As...

    Another "what's it worth" - advice please

    Re: Another Check the in-service date of the car. If it was put in service less than 36 months ago, and since it has less than 36K miles, you can buy a new car warranty in your name. If that's possible (based on the in-service date), when you sell the car you'll be able to transfer the...

    Want to start RICHMOND VIRGINIA section of the VCA...possible?

    Patrick, We've made a real effort to have events outside the DC-Baltimore corridor. I solicited volunteers for event coordinators in our Spring Newsletter and in a letter sent out to all members earlier this year. While it is true that our Maryland members so far seem to be more interested in...

    1998 GTS vs. 2001 GTS and ABS

    The 2001 (if < 36000 miles) is still under 3/36 warranty and you can purchase a new-car Max Care warranty that you can transfer to another buyer. If the 98 has an extended warranty, can it be transferred to you? Even so, you will not be able to transfer it to another buyer.

    01 RT/10 Questions

    Dodge did not make black RT/10's in 2001. Black was available in 1999 and 2000. If the car you are considering is truly a 2001, and since the picture clearly shows it's black, the car was repainted.

    Re: Considering buying a 2000 RT but after talking to a former GTS owner i\' If you put a lot of stock into what automotive journalists write about the Viper, you are not going to even consider one. The Viper has not received fair treatment from the automotive press throughout its 10-year...

    Northeast Zone Rendezvous

    The Zone Rendezvous is the closest you'll get to a VOI in 2003, as the next one's not until 2004. As I understand it, the flyers are going to be mailed out any day now. The Rendezvous is a VCA event, so if you're a member, you should get a flyer soon.

    Gumball Rally Started thursday night. Cars impounded.

    I'm sure the good citizen lady in the Honda with her two kids didn't bother to think of pulling over to make the cell phone call to the CHP. The thought never crossed her mind that she -- with one hand on the steering wheel and the other dialing her cell phone -- was a bigger danger to her...

    Correct Engine Running Temperature?

    Your temperature gauge is neither consistent nor accurate. If you had a DRB hooked up and it was constantly displaying the coolant temperature from the engine computer, you would see that there's not a lot of correlation between what the gauge reads and what the computer says. According to the...

    Viper Tech in DC Balt area

    Another Viper tech in northern Virginia that I can personally recommend is Scott Bothum at Manassas Dodge. I don't know whether he's done the frame recall on any Vipers, though. You might also try Herb Gordon Dodge in Silver Spring.
