    Engine light, will not crank, help

    Is it possible the Paxton electrical connections could have come loose or caused an open circuit? The Split Second control unit splices into the ignition key on circuit, which may prevent the start system from working. It also splices into both cam and crank sensor leads, which if the cam sensor...

    Pressure plate failures?

    Yep, I am pretty stupid about clutches et. al. BTW are you aware that fuel dragsters and funny car clutches slip intentionally for the first half or so of the 1/4 mile and then go into a lock-up mode? Controlled slippage can be good as long as it does not result in excessive wear. I would also...

    Spring Opinions Eibach vs Stock ??????

    Not sure as they Eibach site lists the 2003 Viper with this wording: Viper, Coupe & Roadster, 10 Cyl. (Incl. GTS) 1996 2003 And it has no listing for a 2004 Viper. My guess is that the kit indicated for 2003 is really a Gen II kit.

    Fastener: Part Number Needed

    I removed those plates on both sides once the catalysts were "decoupled." Seems like the fasteners were push pins (plastic). So what is the story on the *

    Future Viper Colors - We Need Your Help!

    58 posts and 57 of them are anti Dodge. Why the heck did you buy one. To find a reason to complain??? And all of this in just a few short months of ownership. No doubt you have a wealth of experience with Dodges to base your critiques on. Not! The reality is your own statements have pretty...

    Pressure plate failures?

    Not sure about Viper X's issue. I have never heard of that issue (fingers failing by expanding toward the throwout bearing). Maybe it is due to the RPS flywheel. There should be no significant heat on the fingers unless the throwout bearing was not turning. But that should have create an...

    Pressure plate failures?

    Okay Red I give up. Why don't you post on the Gen I/II forum a question about the clutch and get a "more technical type" opinion. You are obviously new to Viperdom. Over time the stock clutch has been stated by the long time tuners as the best option for stock and moderate performance Vipers...

    Pressure plate failures?

    Anyone know if the slave cylinder is the same as previous years? In over 10 years I have heard very little about the slave cylinder.

    Viper Owners as Ambassadors for Dodge

    Red, You may find that many here are very knowledgeable about the Viper and could have provided help. In fact, you may even have the ears of the company here. But when all you do is hound them they will not seek you out to provide assistance. It does sound like you had 2 unique, unrelated...

    Pressure plate failures?

    Red I thought you stated on another thread that the clutch wasn't bad after all and that it was a clogged catalyst. Which story is correct? Now you say it was slipping, which without evidence of a manufacturers defect is normally an indication of driver error (very common with clutches and why...

    Any difference '03-'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy '03-'04 RED SRT-10?

    Re: Any difference \'03-\'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy \'03-\'04 RED SRT-10? That was the 03/04 rod. And Dan you were correct the 03 was cracked forged steel. The '05 as was indicated is PM.

    How easy is it to take off the side sills

    Tony, if those are the instructions for a Gen III then I am confused. Are you not forgetting those 2 up in the side pocket (the one in front can be more than a little pain).

    Any difference '03-'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy '03-'04 RED SRT-10?

    Re: Any difference \'03-\'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy \'03-\'04 RED SRT-10? Not sure the knock sensors would help for the supercharger. My understanding is the knock sensors are not effective above 4000 rpm, where the Paxton boost starts coming on strong. That is not a generalism for knock...

    Any difference '03-'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy '03-'04 RED SRT-10?

    Re: Any difference \'03-\'04 SRT-10 - looking to buy \'03-\'04 RED SRT-10? Don't think so. Only some versions (Mamba and VCA edition) have been more. 2003's MSRP was 83,795.

    Viper Owners as Ambassadors for Dodge

    Camfab, the reason is that he has stated this over and over. Every opportunity he has. It was ONE failure, and misdiagnosed at that (it sounds like it was really a $10 O2 sensor). One bad mechanic does not make all of them bad. And it surely does not make the Toyota guys better. And regarding...

    Viper Owners as Ambassadors for Dodge

    I do not think cost has anything to do with potential problems. If anything added complexity (or in the Vipers case power) add the potential for problems. BTW how could anyone get a clutch and a catalyst mixed up? I fail to see a connection. And how does a cat get clogged? Sounds more like the...

    New to the forum and just drove home my new Viper

    Never miss an opportunity eh Red? :) Most of the rest of us have been trouble free. So have fun. But, as stated earlier, be careful as you learn the car. Especially on cool/cold tires. 500 lb-ft of torque (rear wheels) can be a handful.

    Viper Owners as Ambassadors for Dodge

    I think most of us already do. Positive in my case. BTW I replaced the clutch in my Gen I ( at 30k miles and it had more than 50% life left when it was replaced) and it was less than $200. Did you buy a gold plated version? Or maybe it was $500 an hour for the labor. Outside of the one post...
