    Who has removed sun visors?

    My thoughts exactly. I took the one off the drivers side on my ACR but left the right one on for my wife. On the 'vert, I left both as they do direct air up and over your head...I sit quite tall. I haven't had the problem of them being blown downward by the wind. Maybe I need to drive faster??

    Help please...2008 Viper service manual on DVD

    I purchased an original Mopar 2008 Viper Service Manual on DVD from the original owner of my 2008 Viper 'vert but it won't work on my computer. I had a computer guy come and see if he could make it work but to no avail. It says "Publication No. 81-270-08030CD" and WWW.Techauthority.com. It...

    Suggestions on smoothing out ride on a 2008 ACR

    Totally agree...no more tram-lining! Now my wife is no longer afraid to ride in it.

    This may be a dumb question but...

    And it turns rather hard. You will think it might break but put some pressure on it and the door should pop open.

    Buying a Gen IV Viper next weekend, need help!

    Congratulations and good luck with the Gen IV. I have two and they are amazing. The only caveat is to go slow, get used to the car and don't get on the loud pedal hard unless your wheels are pointed straight ahead and you are in a safe zone. Take care and enjoy! There's nothing else like the...

    Tampa happenings this weekend?

    We live just south of Fort Myers in the winter. What is the love bug season there? We only ran into them once a couple of years ago and I don't want to do that again. What a mess!

    This may be a dumb question but...

    Yep...the sad part is that I had just cleaned the area around the license plate and of course, the key cylinder is right next to it but in my panic, I didn't think about it. Also, after I had unhooked the battery cables in preparation for removing the battery, I needed to open the door with the...

    This may be a dumb question but...

    Hey jonhiew398...I was afraid it was going to be a dumb question. Thanks for the straight answer. It's funny how the answer is right in front of you but you don't see it.

    This may be a dumb question but...

    ...how do I open the hatchback or liftgate on my 2008 Viper coupe if the battery is dead or out of the car? Is there a emergency latch somewhere or...? Someone must know this answer...thanks, Mike:omg:

    Jacking 2008 Viper ACR?

    Just put my ACR up on jack stands. Drove up on mini-ramps, one jack on each jacking point in front and put it down on jack stands. Went to the rear and used two jacks again parallel to the car so the jacks could roll forward slightly as it was being lifted negating any chance of tipping of...

    Viper Purchasing ?'s

    Captain David...you are right on with your first three sentences. Couldn't agree more. Regarding the tire shredding, I just put on a new set of Pilot Super Sports so tire shredding is not in my immediate future. Thanks for the chuckle! Mike

    Dodge Viper Kelley Blue Book Video Review

    I was also impressed that they admitted it is more of a pain than anything else. I just installed a skip-shift eliminator that I found on eBay for $13 plus $2 shipping. What a difference it makes in the joy of driving the car now. No more concern about the "nanny" interrupting your shift at...

    Gen IV trunk air pump and tire sealant bottle??

    I just ordered a very basic tubeless tire repair kit from Harbor Freight...normally $5.99...on sale now for $4.99. Item # 45183 ~ 9 piece kit. I ordered two for that price. Hopefully will never need it so if it only sits in the Viper trunk and never gets used, Hooray!

    Gen IV trunk air pump and tire sealant bottle??

    Thanks guys...your input prompted me to go ahead and buy this little "peace of mind" item from one of our fellow Viper brethren in our own VCA classifieds. Great resources available on the VCA website.

    Tire pressure in gen 4.

    Yes...for what it's worth, Herb Helbig, the Viper Grailkeeper, told me that 29 psi cold is correct. That's what I am running on the new Michelin Pilot Super Sports I installed last summer.

    Gen IV trunk air pump and tire sealant bottle??

    What does it do to the tire pressure sensor...does it destroy it? I think it is over a $100 part...is that about right?

    Gen IV trunk air pump and tire sealant bottle??

    Has anyone used the trunk mounted tire air pump and tires sealant bottle to fix a flat on the road? If so, how much of a mess was inside the tire/wheel to clean up or is it not a problem? I have a 2008 ACR "Hard Core Edition" which of course did not come with these items and I am wrestling...

    Yes...the one I had installed was actually listed for a Dodge Challenger in the eBay presentation.

    Skip shift eliminator for 2008?

    Still works great...no codes set so far. What a pleasure to drive and be able to shift without the nanny biting you at inopportune times. Will keep you posted. For $13 plus $2 shipping on eBay, it is the best bang for your buck to increase the pleasure of driving this beast.

    Jacking 2008 Viper ACR?

    Rich...I couldn't agree more....except I am specifically asking about all four corners off the ground for winter storage.

    Jacking 2008 Viper ACR?

    Mark...regarding your last sentence...how do you lift the front in order to put it on stands prior to lifting the rear from the side? Being an ACR, you don't have an exposed front crossmember to lift from. And...assuming it can be done...are you saying once the front is in the air, you can...

    Jacking 2008 Viper ACR?

    Guys...need some assistance here. I can't lift the ACR from the front and back using a floor jack like I used to with non-ACR Vipers in the past due to the extensive aero pans under the car so I have just been raising one side at a time and putting jack stands under it while working on tires...

    Skip shift eliminator for 2008?

    I finally had time to get the skip shift eliminator I bought on eBay installed at my local Dodge dealer. So far it works as advertised. Yellow light still illuminates but can shift at will with no blocking. No codes have been set thus far and it is a pleasure to no longer have to be concerned...

    tax question (buying v trading)

    I am a retired NY Dodge dealer and in NYS, you pay tax on the trade difference...the balance due between the car you are buying and the item you are trading. If you trade your car for one of same or lesser value, either an even swap or the other guy is paying you money, you owe no tax...at...
