    Dyno'd my rebuild

    The only thing in the car that didn't come from Dodge is a set of AB wires. Everything else is original down to the filters.

    Dyno'd my rebuild

    I couldn't get the graphs scanned at work, was to busy to hunt down a scanner. I'll probably just go out and buy one, been meaning to get a scanner at home anyway. Yes, that's Hp/Tq at the rear wheel, do whatever you want to figure out what the crank is... All I care about is at the rear...

    Dyno'd my rebuild

    Well, if anyone remembers I was the proud owner of a wounded 2005 copperhead. I took it in to Sunshine Dodge in Melbourne FL, and they were advised to pull the motor, crate it, and ship it up to Arrow for a rebuild. Orig thread Well, after 1000 miles strictly following the break-in...

    1st gear to 4th gear shifting

    You know, we got a sticky on how to join the VCA... How about a sticky of *typical* new owner questions. You know, the stuff that seems to pop-up every couple of weeks? Kinda like a new owener FAQ of sorts. Now, that said, I'd love to do it... but am myself a fairly new owner... Though...

    Need Help, broke Temp sensor in the block

    Go to your local home improvement store to the plumbing department. They have all sorts of stuff to remove busted off pipe nipples etc... Maybe they'll have a size that will fit. I broke the shower head neck pipe flush off at the wall, and they had just what I needed to get the busted piece...

    Low milage Vipers

    I'm going to post my story as above quote really just jumped out and bit me. I bought a 2005 SRT with 5k miles on it last October. I drove it a lot, clocking about 3k miles on it in 6 months. Over that time it drove very well, but towards Febuary I noticed it wasn't sounding right. I...

    Thanks ab! (Quality Wires)

    I ordered a set of quality wires from ab back in March. Before I had a chance to install them I took my car into the dealer to check on the engine, it just wasn't running right. My motor ended up being sent out to arrow for a rebuild. I gave the viper tech my quality wires to install when...

    Gen 3 oil change tips

    Make some custom ramps to get the front up enough to do the job. I used planks of 2x8x10s, cut at a steep angle then stacked & screwed together... Pictures speak 1K words, I know: Plank Ramp I plan on adding a 3rd level to make it just a bit easier the next time. And remember you'll need...

    Viper Racing League at the FAMOUS Sebring International

    I'm really tempted to go and just watch for a day... I wish my car was going to be done in time, but that ain't going to happen :(

    5k between oil changes?

    I do mine every 3k. I know the oil could probably last double that... but it's the other garbage floating around in it I want to flush out. Just my uninformed opinion :P

    05 SRT hesitation

    Quick update, motor is going to Arrow for a rebuild. The dealer is awaiting delivery of a crate to pack the motor up and send it.

    05 SRT hesitation

    Yeah, understandable. Doing long distance diagnosis with an untrained wookie ( me ) as your eyes and ears is probably rather difficult :P After the compression check ( three times ) they setup to do a leak down. The mechanic was gone when I called Friday so I don't know the results.

    05 SRT hesitation

    I'll call em in the morning and ask that they check both cam/crank sensors before doing anything else. Why hasn't the check engine light come on!?! This is driving me mad. How would a crank or cam sensor, or PCM problem explain the **** compression in the odd bank? I really have no...

    05 SRT hesitation

    Just got off the phone with the dealer where I dropped my Viper off to get looked at. Because the mechanic is a Viper Tech, Chrysler told him to tear it down to find out what was wrong... Had they not had a Viper Tech on staff, they would have just shipped out a new motor. This really blows...

    05 SRT hesitation

    Have you ever had a conversation with a mechanic, that felt like there was someone standing there punching you in the nads?!? Took my Viper (9,200 miles) in to get a diagnosis of my problem after talking with the Wizard last week. I wandered around the waiting room like an expectant...

    05 SRT hesitation

    Just got my plug wires in from Silver, man... I don't want to install em because they look so damn good :P Going to swap out the parts this weeked, and check my drivers side exhaust while I'm at it, I think I may have a leak by the collector. I'll update the thread if I get my issue...

    05 SRT hesitation

    I've put over 4000 miles on it since I got it in Oct... Being in Florida, my car is never in storage. There is something definately not right with it. I've detailed all my observations to the Wizard via PM to get his opinion. I went ahead and ordered some new wires from silver, and picked...

    05 SRT hesitation

    I'm in Florida, I bought the car last Oct with 5K miles on it. I drive it every week. I got new plugs, it will be good to pull the old ones to inspect, and they're cheap anyway. I will try a different location for gas next time if the new plugs don't sort things out. Still going to get new...

    05 SRT hesitation

    I took a road trip yesterday from Melbourne to a bit north of Tampa to attend a trapshoot at the Silver Dollar club. It's about 160 miles each way, and I left at about 6 in the morning. The car ran great on the highway, cursing in 6th between 80 and 90 mph for most of the way. I did notice...
