    Wiper Blades?

    What wiper blades are you folks using? I’ve been paying my dealership $100 a set for years. But I’m thinking of trying Rain X or Bosch (my parts store says they fit). The OEM ones just can’t handle the sun here in Texas for more than a year or so.

    Full fluid flush and change - list of what I need? (2008 SRT-10 Coupe)

    There is a list somewhere around these boards, probably a bunch of them, use a Google query to find. But it’s super easy to just call your Dodge Store and the parts people will look them up for you and sell them to you. Also your Owners Manual will have details. The one thing you don’t want...

    Tires for Gen 3

    Not sure if you are aware so this is just a PSA and disregard if you already know. The Cup 2 is an awesome tire, no doubt about that! But it only comes with 4-5/16” of tread, Super Sports come with 9/16”. Cup 2’s are more of a racing tire. They cost more too. But they won’t last more than...

    Gen 1 Headlight Switch Issue

    I’ve added new life to other switches by applying DeOxit D-100 and manipulating the switch while it’s still wet. You would want to disconnect the switch or the negative battery terminal before doing that though. Add it to the connectors as well. It’s a product that cleans, lubricates, and...

    2006 headlights

    No, it’s not too late and it’s fairly easy. Get a kit at Walmart, there are so many now but the Meguiars kit is nice. Make sure you buy the one with a foam pad that attaches to your drill. Try to polish off the oxidation with the polish provided first - if you run out of the included polish...

    P0172 Code

    If you don’t get any joy after following Steve’s recommendation (above), then since the plugs and wires were the last things you touched I would start by pulling each plug to inspect them, if you‘ve got a misfire it will show on that plug (or those plugs). Double check the gaps WYAAI, although...

    Impact to value if I get oem mods

    They offered a rear view camera? In a Viper? I didn’t know that! One of the reasons that I bought my Viper is because of its lack of non essential electronics and other things. I like that I have to manually put the top up and down instead of pushing a button and having non essential motors...

    Straight Through Cats

    Florida doesn’t have state inspection so that’s not an issue; I suppose there is a very tiny risk of an overzealous state trooper but it’s infinitesimal. I think in this case it’s just his personal choice, and it’s just one Viper, it’s not as though half of his town is doing it. The car will...

    Interesting Computation

    I drove my car on a 1500 mile trip 2 years back and for laughs I measured the fuel mileage. I was shocked! @ 70 mph in 6th gear she consistently clocked 28 mpg on the highway! Mind blown! I only do city driving these days, not much of it but almost daily. I was wondering why I had to fill...

    Can a fault code clear itself?

    Reviving my old thread. That O2 sensor CEL was gone for soooo long but it’s coming on again for no reason. I think I was a bit hesitant with pushing the Start Button and that caused it to return a little while ago; a few errands and it cleared. Then a week later it’s back but also gone after...

    Borla Exhaust or Other

    Yes, they do “grow” in length as they get hot. They should be positioned closer to the front of the car rather than centered when you install them to account for this. Also, drill a hole in them once you have them where you want them and insert a self tapping ***** to lock them in place...

    Exhaust on a 2003 SRT10

    Without the H Pipe; you’ll find there is a huge decrease of heat in the cabin in the summer. No matter how tight you fasten everything the exhaust can loosen and migrate, although in my case it was years down the road I would think it could happen at any time. So once both sides are installed...

    Need Rear Tires

    How many miles have you driven it since the new tires? I would put quite a few on her at different speeds before going through all of the hassle and expense that you are considering. Or call a different Dodge dealership or Viper shop.

    Future proud owner is looking for a GTS

    To each his own. I almost bought a Vette. I kept going to the dealership to see them, for over six months! I just couldn’t pull the trigger on one. They are fun, no doubt about that, and reasonably priced. But the car back then came with single piston brakes, seeing that detail it was over...

    E Brake

    It’s a hard habit to break (no pun intended), but stop using it for parking and just live your life. The Reverse Gear locks in place if you are that concerned, but I park in First Gear. I guess we all go through this and then decide. If you don’t have an emergency or are not parked on a steep...

    Windshield wipers not working as well as windshield fluid not spraying

    Just a SWAG, but perhaps the stem is bad and you need to replace the unit. I had to replace mine because the other side, the turn signal stem, would turn on my fog lights whenever I used the right turn signal or sometimes just on it’s own. Or you could squirt some DeOxit D100 into the pieces...

    CAR will not start

    Wasn’t it this generation that had the fuel pump issue of oftentimes not priming sufficiently to start the car? If it is then try turning the key to Accessory and then Off six (6) times and wait a second or two between turns, then on the 7th turn go ahead and start the car.

    New CT license plate

    Vanity Plate is a US term for a custom selected state license plate with numbers, letters, or a combination of the two. They are purchased from the state you live in and the funds go to state programs and expenditures, then it’s part of the annual Registration Fees for the car. It’s a form of...

    Looking Where to Buy '04 Tail Light Assembly

    If you see it on moparfactoryparts.com or any of the others then it is still available. Thats great! You do get a nice discount with outfits like that; AFAIK they are simply Dodge dealerships with an online parts sales program. I‘m not so sure about discounts on OEM through a Viper specialty...

    Seat Lowering Kit -- Should I

    First, shop around. I was looking for touch up paint, original retail was about $38. Found it at the Viper Store for $165! Pass. You may still be able to order an OEM lowering kit from Dodge for much less. Anyway that kit only gives you 1”, there is another that will give you 2“. You’ll...

    Help! Sitting ‘04 Viper

    Gasoline degrades in just a month or two sitting in the tank. The combustibility is affected, and it can gum up injectors. That being said after 15 months it should still burn, but may cause a CEL to come on or performance issues. I would probably drain it. OTOH a can of Barryman’s B12 added...

    2003 Check Engine light due to EVAP lines

    I’m assuming that the shop you used read the CEL code(s), but check for yourself which codes by turning the key three times. Do the 3-4 short drive cycles to see if it clears itself, just run a few errands with it. But since it was off and then came back on this likely will not work, but it’s...

    2003 Check Engine light due to EVAP lines

    Are you using a Viper Technician at your Dodge Dealership? You can get the CEL code to display on your dash and then look in to what it is. Turn the key to On and then to Off three (3) times, but the last time leave it at On and the code will display on the dash. Kind of hard to understand...

    '05 Engine Starting problem

    I don’t want to go out and try to start my car without pressing the clutch as I always do, but there is probably a clutch safety switch which needs to be engaged in order for your ignition to work when you press the Start Button. It can only be engaged when you press down on the clutch pedal...
