    Idle speed too low?

    My '94 R/T 10 has always idled around 400 RPM's and I was glad to see Joe's response. Since it never seemed to be a problem, I was not concerned. Thanks for the reassurance Joe.

    What is a fair price for a 96 Blue and White with less than 5 miles?

    If there is an extended warranty, that should be factored into the final price. Most enthusiasts would agree that, if all possible, a warranty can be priceless. Typical extended warranties from DC will provide 4-48 protection, after an initial 7-70 is has expired. Good luck....

    Tips on Exhaust Upgrades - 94 RT/10

    When I purchased my '94 R/T 10 (8340 miles), the previous owner represented that he had installed a Borla exhaust. The car now has 21K miles and is clearly much louder that when I purchased it. That was verified by ab. While it may seem intuitive to most, the material in the mufflers...

    Recommendation on Buying Warrantee for 94 rt/10

    Tom, Based on what I too was told, we have reached the eleventh hour for purchasing extended warranties for '94's. I am an advocate of these warranties and would strongly suggest to all '94 owners that they act immediately before January 1st. I, like you, barely got in under the wire. While...

    Recommendation on Buying Warrantee for 94 rt/10

    Tom, What's the deductible on your policy? I opted for a $100 plan figuring that I could handle that, but a new tranny or other expensive repairs could break my bank. My major concern now is that when this policy expires (Mar, 2005), there won't be any other carrier out there to provide...

    Shift Light

    I think all brands (there couldn't be more than 2-3)are essentially the same. I purchsed mine from JonB at PartsRack and it was easy to intstall.

    Good Price

    The price may be a tad high, given the mileage. Offer him/her $34,000 and sit tight. I too would suggeste that you check others in the classifieds on this board. Given the season and economy, it's a buyers market. Also, check prices for an extended warranty. Most would agree that it's...

    Arrived just before snow fall...

    Beautiful car!!!! Most hardtops "creak"..... trust me. However, what is this "snow" everyone's talking about? I think I've seen pictures of it. It has to do with cold weather, right?

    Softtop Adjustment or Weatherstrip

    Drop Bruce Venable a note at [email protected]. He can work magic on soft tops or tell you how (or if) to proceed.

    Tires-How old is too old ?

    What's the best tire pressure for Pilot Sports? I've heard multiple answers from multiple "experts". Stipulate cold pressure.

    Warranty? Dealers....

    Unfortunately, I think you're correct. If anyone out there knows otherwise, please let us know. The original owner of my Viper opted for a 7/70 warranty which expired this year. I, in turn, purchasd an extended warranty for another 4/48. That'll cover me until 2005. Beyond that, I'm afraid...

    Why is getting your Viper repaired always 2 steps foward and one step back?

    Frank..... I, like you, own a '94 R/T and have concerns about the life expectancy of the head gaskets, given what I've read on this board. Moreover, there've been lots of posts too about Arrow rebuilds in Gen 1 engines (which are covered by warranties). Given that my extended warranty has a...

    Warranty? Dealers....

    On my extended warranty from Chrysler (4 years/48K miles with a $100 deductible), it can be transferred ONE TIME.

    Why is getting your Viper repaired always 2 steps foward and one step back?

    I also agree with Frank regarding the absolute indifference of most techs. However, I strongly disagree with his statements about an extended warranty. I don't care how good a mechanic he professes to be, who's going to spring for the cost of a new tranny even if he can install it himself?

    Want to buy a viper

    If at all possible, buy one with an extended, transferrable warranty.

    CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY

    Take it and run!!!! That's a good deal. I paid $1800 for a $100 deductible.

    Which Wax to use on my Viper?

    Well, I feel compelled to add my opinion to the ongoing dialogue concerning which wax/polish is superior. For the record, I've used Zymol in the past and am presently using Meguiar's Gold Class. Parenthetically, the reason I stopped using Zymol was that its smell appealed to my dog so much...

    Need help with a '94 soft top

    Need help with a \'94 soft top I recently FedEx'd my '94 soft top to eldiablo in Arizona. He emailed pictures to show that the passenger side strut had bowed downward and his door would not close with th window in. Any suggestions as to how to correct the problem. The top fit OK on my car...

    Service at dealership

    Hey Frank....... Thanks for your insightful and provocative response. Tell me.... are you a full time psychotherapist/automotive technican or do you have a real job too??? If you fall into the latter category..... a sincere word of advice....don't give up your day job.

    Service at dealership

    Yesterday, I took my Viper to a local dealership for an oil change and chassis lube. Parenthetically, I always take my own Mobile One. I went to the showroom to see a new Viper on the floor and by the time I returned to the shop area, the oil had been drained and the filter had ostensibly been...

    '94 factory windows

    Re: \'94 factory windows You're correct and indeed I did sell my soft top to him. He doesn't appear to be interested in my factory windows though. Thanks for the response.......

    Ever wondered what it would be like to run your car on a Nascar track?

    Matt, Watched your video clips and enjoyed them. Several questions on the first one. 1. How fast did you ultimately go? 2. Who said (female voice): "You'd better slow down?" 3. Did you (slow down)?

    '94 factory windows

    \'94 factory windows I've just installed a set of VMania windows and have the factory set available if anyone out there is interested. I have no idea what they're worth, but I would guess they're in average condition for being 7 years old. I assume they'll fit '92-'95 R/T 10's. As an aside, I...

    Painting a hardtop is easy and fairly inexpensive. I recently purchased a double bubble top from Bruce Venable and had it painted at my local Mopar dealership for $225. Remember, however, Mopar tops must have the sport cap removed to install them. Bruce's, on the other hand, doesn't require...
