    You think it is just the battery?

    The tender is a deltran battery tender 800 automatic battery charger. Battery is around 2 years old I think. It was in the car when I bought it. Should I find a bigger charger and try that first or just plug in the tender. I would plug in the tender and let it sit for a few days but I am...

    You think it is just the battery?

    I was thinking I would have to pull the battery and take it someplace to get it charged. The only charger I have is the battery tender. I will see if I can find someone with a charger. Do you know if the clicking sound from the locks is normal when the battery is low?

    You think it is just the battery?

    Work has been crazy and I have only driven the car once in the last month. Today I realized I forgot to put the car on the battery tender so I went to plug it in. When I did the locks on the car started clicking and the radar detector kept beeping (looks like I left it on). I am assuming I...

    valve cover torque

    I just torqued mine a few weeks ago. I was on the phone with Chuck Tator and he says he does it every year. So everyone else that hasn't checked theirs should do it, because I was also surprised how many were loose on mine.

    Finally got my hood & paint work done.

    Great looking car. Hopefully I will get to see it in person one day. Too bad I can't make it to TWS this weekend.

    Anyone one in Houston have Racedeck tiles?

    I am trying to make the garage look a little nicer and am tired of looking at my 50 year old concrete. After tons of research it is still hard to decide between epoxy and Racedeck tiles. But since I move once a year it is hard to spend the money and time for epoxy when I can pick up the tiles...

    Wish I would be able to make it but as of right now I will have to work. Plus my temp sensor went out so I shouldn't be going around a track till I get that fixed.

    How do you say "No" Politely

    I would only let my father drive mine since he drives like a grandpa (he owns a vette too). Actually I am surprised that he has never asked to drive it yet. But then again if a friend had a car with similar power I would let him drive it as long as I knew he would treat it with respect...

    Engine Question

    I am curious about when you stripped out your bolts. How do you fix something like that? I have a harbor freight around here but the tools I have bought from there have been really cheap. Surprised you like theirs. This is the one I am thinking about getting. Good enough? But 20 dollars...

    Engine Question

    As you might be able to tell I am not used to working on cars. So this is a fun learning experince.:D The problem is none of the auto part stores around here sell torque wrenchs in inch/pounds so it never crossed my mind that it would be anything other than ft/pounds. At least I can go to...

    Engine Question

    Hopefully someone can answer this question for me. My engine seems to have a small oil leak coming from around the valve covers. Spoke with my local viper tech and he recommended changing the valve cover gaskets. Long story short, I spoke with Chuck Tator because I was ordering some other...

    Adam's detailing for Dummies

    What type of mixture do you use with the Dawn soap? I am guessing that you only use Dawn when you are going to use the clay bar, right?

    Tomball Dodge Viper

    Yesterday I was bored and I haven't been able to drive the viper lately due to the weather, so I thought I would make the drive out to Tomball. If you have never been to Tomball Dodge than you need to make the trip and check out their upstairs showroom. I have seen pictures of the Tomball...

    How much of attention getter are Vipers?

    Houston must be different from where you guys live because I rarely get attention in mine. Or maybe I am just ugly and scare people off. :dunno: So far I have never had anyone talk to me or take a picture of it while at the gas station. Don't get me wrong, I do get some attention but very...
