    Balenger Head Gasket Issue

    If Bellanger isn't supplying the factory MLS [ stainless ] style exhaust gaskets, throw those worthless pieces of crap away. Go to a dealer and get some of the factory ones. They are cheap and they will seal properly. There's a number of internet dealers that sell them cheaper without much of...

    Is it a pain to flush the coolant

    I have found this device to be absolutely invaluable especially on systems where the radiator is below the engine and "burping" is required. Amazon.com: UView 550000 Airlift Cooling System Leak Checker and Airlock Purge Tool Kit: Automotive Not only will it check for leaks but it gets...

    Question of preference I suppose

    I got a complete Unitrax built diff with 3.55's and a Quaife differential and it runs dead quiet. And those guys do know how to build a rear end. --FQB

    header install question

    I have never burnt a plug wire. I use these on both my GenIII Viper and my SRT10 Truck. Those heat booties do the exact same thing and don't interfere with the header flanges. The bonus is they make removing the plug boot so much easier so no damaged wires either. --FQB

    header install question

    The other thing you can do is pull those stupid heat shields out and use the ?nomex? fabric ones. That's what I did when I installed my M&M's. The bonus to those is that they have a metal ring at the bottom that make pulling the spark plug boot off the plug a breeze. --FQB

    New headers on the way!

    I have this same combination M&M and that 3" exhaust and catless and actually it's not bad. At 80mph in 6th with 3.55's it's actually in a nice dead spot and it's somewhat quiet. The M&M's are great tubes .. You'll like them. --FQB

    Random Tech cat Failure

    And now you know why I don't run cats at all.

    TPS/MAP sensor issues?

    Sounds like a TPS failing. Also make sure the throttle linkage is all together and not broken. --FQB

    2003 srt10 dangerous handling on grooved roads

    Take your car in and have the alignment checked by an old guy that's been doing it for like 100 years. A small tweak is all that's needed. Been there with that one. --FQB

    Fair trade in for 2006 coupe blk/sil???

    I think if someone walked up and offered me 48k for my 06 Coupe I'd be handing him the title. Everyone has a price for sure. Unfortunately sentimental value isn't a quantitative measure and can't be fit into a price if you're going to try and sell it. It's just a car, you can always use that...

    My SRT10 Insurance premium renewal

    In FL GEICO is very Viper friendly. We have 4 cars with them and it's less than $600 / year for the 06 Coupe. Of course my wife and I are "old" hahaha and we took the time to do that ridiculous on-line safe driving course that was good for 10% reduction+ in and of itself. Cost for that was...

    Separate charging system for the viper

    There's absolutely no reason to do this. Dodge has been doing this for a very, very long time like decades, and there are no real issues. I'd for sure get a second opinion from a knowledgeable Dodge tech / engineer before doing anything this unnecessary just for your own edification. --FQB

    Spark Plug Reccomendations

    I personally like iridium plugs for NA motors. I use Bosch 4508 in my '06 Coupe. They work like a champ. My mods are similar to yours. --FQB

    05 Copperhead overheating with A/C on only

    Here's some food for thought. In a GenIII , the fan is a hydraulic motor and it's controlled directly with a PWM signal from the PCM via a flow valve at the bottom of the motor. I have seen those stupid hydraulic "motors" go bad. So if you have a PS pump issue or a fan "motor" issue that...

    What is MultiAir?

    MultiAir is just more electro-mechanical mickey mouse crap that can / will go wrong and will make installing mods next to impossible. I'm more and more convinced that the GenIII with its JTEC PCM is the way to go. No VVT, no drive by wire, and the ability to easily mod. What's really odd...

    Newbie Questions; maybe going from Porsche to viper

    When it comes to maintenance the Viper is way cheaper than a Porsche. We have both. My Viper is a GenIII .. I have an SRT10 Ram Truck that shares a common engine and trans and it's super reliable. The V10 and T56 6spd are just about bullet proof. The Viper is so simple and totally lacking in...

    Headers... whos got the best sounding?

    I have a set of M&M's .. They are easy to install and sound awesome. They make good power also. Nice thick flanges unlike some others, and that is very important.

    2009 Viper ACR Svc Manuals Extinct?

    Something not so good is up with Ma MOPAR and tech authority. I tried for a long time to get a print manual for my '09 SRT Challenger, no go. I had to settle for a CD and now that's not even available any more. The CD now days requires windoze and ie browser and an svg plugin to work. All of...

    RB1 install question?

    The wires on my '06 were real short too. I did get it off, and yes you'll need to get that little panel out in order to get the heads in/out and also place the antenna on that top brace way in the back. You also need to pull the console top and switch wires as well as the shifter handle...

    Strange Idle

    Depending on when you got that BBK TB it may be the TB. They had an issue with those for a GenIII and finally redid the return springs.

    AC blowing thru winshield vents after high boost pull

    Ummm, you said "high boost". I hope you have a check valve in there between the engine vacuum port and the interior systems. If not you may have actually caused some of the actuators to run in a reverse direction and rupture or jam. It's also possible you blew the hoses off the controls or...

    Unknown Wires 06 "Help"

    According to the FSM 8W-30-6 that would be the left bank *post* cat O2 sensor plug. Probably simm'd out somewhere or not used with the AEM.

    Scan Tools for the Gen3 that monitor spark/knock??

    Check out autotap. You'll need a fairly decent laptop but it can monitor almost any PID in real time and display multiple PID's simultaneously in a variety of formats. I use it a lot on my '04 Ram SRT10 and '06 Viper and it's even pretty useful on the '09 Challenger.

    Talk me down off the ledge

    My '06 Coupe has a centered steering wheel. Hot yes until I got rid of the cross over/h pipe in the exhaust and the cats. Replaced with M&M headers and a MOPAR track exhaust. Sills and cabin stay cool even in FL. Super reliable, always starts and runs properly. Very enjoyable car.

    2012/2013 Viper

    My understanding was that due to the bankruptcy the Viper development was halted. It seems the side impact airbags that will be required by our lovely govt isn't compatible with the current door design. Add that to the soon to be required nanny tech stability control and well, you have a car...
