    Loan companies for Private Party purchase

    Capital One also offers a similar service. They send you a blank check authorized to the amount you have requested. Go with the lender with the lowest rates as all of the aforementioned are reputable.

    2002 RT/10 clunking noise when shifting

    The clunking noise you describe sounds like driveline slop to me. I find it to be pretty common among Vipers. If you have any other owners around you, I might suggest you try going on a ride with one of them. Chances are you will hear something similar.

    Welder Recommendations?

    I think the answer depends on how much welding you plan on doing. I did some extensive research on this and decided that I was going to purchase something that would allow me to do most everything I was initially looking for the unit to be capable of doing. I was also not interested in...

    non-oem AC condenser problem! :-0

    Disappointing that they would apparently continue to sell a product they know to be incorrectly manufactured. Have you given Chuck Tator a buzz? He offers discounts on OEM parts and could tell you everything you ever wanted to know about the install process.

    I'm Short!:(

    Have you checked the pocket on the rear side of the passenger seat? Some people assume the owner's manual is missing and it turns out, it was stored there. Don't ask me how I know....

    You drove the Viper over 8k miles in one week? :omg:

    New viper owner questions.

    Fluids: Power steering Transmission Brake Differential Also have them inspect and grease suspension fittings. R134a will leak over time, but it is still possible you have a leak btween some fittings. Just have them run a leak test (dyes show up where the AC is losing its charge) to make sure.

    Alternator problem?

    I am assuming he performed the voltage test of the alternator on the car? If so, I would suggest pulling it and testing it independently. This way you can verify if it is indeed the alternator or voltage leaking out through a bad ground or connection.

    Sick To My Stomach - Need Advice

    Unfortunately, this is not all that uncommon of an occurrence. Occassionally during shipping, cars are bumped and scratched and will require dealer correction.

    Got my first Speeding Ticket in the Gen III

    Ordinarily, I would agree with you, however, in Rockville, these areas are already identified as speed traps. I travel a couple of these roads pretty frequently and even before the speed cameras were put in place, you would find police sitting there running radar every single day. What I find...

    Got my first Speeding Ticket in the Gen III

    What absolutely defies all logic, is that they have provided a list of all the areas where the speed cameras are stationed and what speeds will trigger a citation (11mph over posted) in Rockville. http://www.rockvillemd.gov/residents/police/speedcameras.htm Baltimore Road east of the...

    Video and picture how-to to re-sync throttle cables (gen 1)

    In the illustrated how to guide, there is a section stating that the driver's side throttle plate needs to lead the passenger side plate. Did you verify this or find that this step was not necessary?

    Car won't go into gear

    I would suggest going to Bryon Muller if you are unable to get those items replaced under some type of defect warranty. I have not needed to contact him for anything, but others in the MD/VA area have had excellent results with him. 703-241-9362 is the contact number I have written down for him.

    Dirt got sucked into intake manifold

    If you are really concerned about damage, get a used oil analysis done. For any real damage as a result of the tubes not being connected (again very unlikely at only 300 miles), you will see elevated iron, aluminum, copper, etc with correspondingly high levels of silicon.

    Dirt got sucked into intake manifold

    I would opt for the oil change just to be safe. I bet if you ran a UOA right now you would see very slightly elevated levels of silicon. 300 miles is a short duration, but you mentioned the dirt driveway, I would do it as a precaution anyway.

    Common Coolant leak problem. Help!

    My concern with running any overflow hoses to the fender well is that antifreeze is extremely slick. If antifreeze exits the tube and covers your tires, you could be in for an interesting ride.

    5W-30 or 10W-30?

    There would be no discernable wear differences between the two at the temperatures 99.9% of all Viper owners drive in.

    Gas cap revival

    What material is the gas cap made of? Is it aluminum? Steel? Without the clearcoat, I would be concerned about corrosion or rust if it is steel.

    Exploded touchup paint

    You could try using some automotive clay. I have used it in the past to remove overspray with a good deal of success. You may have to step up to a more aggressive clay than what is offered at your local parts distributor though.

    Engine Question

    I have seen numbers ranging from 130 - 160 quoted here for compression. Depending on the accuracy of the instrument, I am guessing there will be slight variation. Even more than the number itself, I would look at the variance across the cylinders. If you see more than a 5-10 spread across...
