    99 GTS Oil Change Questions

    I will likely one day go get my frame recall done, and I will absolutely be making sure to talk specifically on that aspect when it gets done so there is no issue.

    99 GTS Oil Change Questions

    Thanks Drumr. My viper actually never had the recall performed on it. Considered doing it when I bought it, but spoke to the wizard and said as long as things look good, and I don't really track it, it will be fine. I'm in Austin, TX too where there isn't a good capable shop to perform this...

    Seems like a good way to wear out your hood springs though...

    99 GTS Oil Change Questions

    Since I bought my 99 GTS used, it didn't have the owner's manual (shame), but from the many many threads I've just read through it appears the 99's had a 8.5 qt oil pan. 2000+ they went to the 10 qt pan. I won't start the age old battle of which oil to use and just go with the factory Mobil 1...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    To throw in my 2 cents, having an "optional" automatic is fine. (Options don't hurt anybody) True hardcore racing enthusiasts (that do not have a disability) tend to prefer manuals anyway... if you prefer some European paddle shift crap you can take your viper and stuff it in a ditch! No I'm...

    Hellcat versus Viper transmission

    Vic, it's not about getting "up-to-date" in the world. It's about the thrill of driving. It's everything viper stands for. Vipers SHOULD NOT ever be a Lamborghini or Ferrari...or any luxury, high class sports car. Dodge Viper is unapologetically all about being a sports car. An American, muscle...

    How hard is it to get the gas cover off??

    Happy, I installed a new gas cap on my viper about a month after I bought it. It's actually easy given the right tools. This is actually the gas cap kit I put on. It comes with a filler neck puller which as Drumr points out is something of a hooked hanger (although they provide a real genuine...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Speedracer I hear if you use AstroGlide instead of oil, you can easily get 20hp. :rolaugh:

    What temperature is good?

    Probably the A/C is working fine. haha. These things aren't known for their stellar A/C. If you look at the canister under the hood it's like the size of a 1 liter cola bottle. Not exactly sized for frosty cool flow. It should be sufficient to keep you from sweating anyway. So what state are you...

    Historical Pics of Gen I and Gen II RT/10s

    Sure that would be really cool. You should be able to use the insert image icon that's embedded in the typing area on these forums. You can upload directly.

    1995 RT/10 - OBD 1 or OBD 2?

    Yea sadly in 95 you're on the bleeding edge of tech. ODBII didn't become a legal standard until 96.

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    WSAYERS you sound like quite the conspiracy theorist lol. Not that I think you are, you just sound like one. haha. I agree that 3,000 is early, but it's also a general rule of thumb. It's easier to talk about than to tell people, well on regular oil and in a newer car you could go 8-10,000 miles...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    I certainly have lots to think about. I must admit I was one of those people that naturally assumed heavier weights added wear protection. I of course also knew it equated to additional friction which means less power due to reduced mobility. There are obvious discrepancies about what brand...

    Flip-up style stereo unit

    John I did the same thing... I was like damn I thought the radio was above the AC controls. LOL. I actually put a head unit my mine recently and I pondered the same question but came to the ultimate conclusion that I did not want to block my A/C vents. The vipers already have poor A/C and not...

    1996 GTS stripe question

    Got a picture? My knee jerk reaction is no that's not normal. One way to tell if it has been repainted is to look for the tell tale signs like a difference in the amount of orange peel. In case your not familiar with paint jargon "orange peel" is basically the amount of ripple in the clear...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Oh yea I'm a huge believer in regular maintenance. I owned a 5.3L Chevy Silverado for about 11 years. I had to pull the intake manifold to change some knock sensors and while I was on top of the engine valley I took some time to clean it up. I also had a nice view to my valves. All I ever did...

    Best Engine Oil for the GTS

    Anyone got some strong opinions? I'm looking to decide which is best for my viper. I tried digging around online to see if there was a special blend/brand for the Vipers (I have a 1999 GTS), but I don't see that there is one. Hell while we're at it, what type of oil does it take anyway? I...

    Power steering pump pulley failure...

    So I've seen this part. I just looked it up (Is Roe the only one that makes it?) and it's $26. Seems like a lot for just a tube. If I could find a bent tube like that I could make my own for less than $5.

    Steering pump fluid spec - brands

    AZTVR, That's basically what I just ran into yesterday. I went to O'Reilly's and they really only carried Valvoline anyway and it did say it meets Chrysler Spec MS 5391 so I went with it. There were other no-name brands, but I didn't want to trust that.

    Power steering pump pulley failure...

    Grisoman, I saw a picture with the tubing on top. Do they have a common problem of squirting out the relief hole in the top or something?
