    IS THE OIL YOU USE THE KEY TO A COOL RUNNING VIPER?

    onerareviper explained it well. the oil has very little to do with cooling (as long as enough oil circulates the engine). a thicker oil (say 10w50) will prolly run a little hotter, but thats about it. what i am saying is that as long as you have good synth oil in the crankcase, the brand does...

    oil pressure gauge - stuck or insensitive to the point of uselessnes?

    mine seems to be stuck at 60 psi at idle, cruising, full throttle, cold oil, hot oil... in other words- all the time. is this normal? i would expect 20-40 psi at idle and 60-70 at wot or so.. alex 02 gts few other cars

    ok, so i got a whiny tranny..

    you dont understand- the tranny whines like 4.10 richmonds on a cold day on deacceleration from 80 to 50 it is not the subdued high-pitched whine of the t-56 that i am accustomed to. i bought the car new. i am overall happy with it, but i am seeking conformation on certain things that i find...

    Car pulls to the right

    two things: 1. most roads are slanted to the right for water drainage purposes. does it always pull to the right? try different roads. 2. allignment. if not done perfectly the viper with its low profile wide tires will be restless... try another shop and ask for a print out of the alignment...

    ok, so i got a whiny tranny..

    i have two distinct whines (my ears are very well tuned to mechanical noises). one comes from the pumpkin and has almost subdued to a level where i dont care about it the other one i am more concerned is from the transmission itself in 5th and 6th gear (the overdrive gears) any more input...

    driving in rain

    not to be disrespectful, but a question like this begs for this advise: sell the car. you cant possibly handle 335 rear tires in the wet- they will kill you the moment you take off. go buy yourself a 4x4 with good off-road tires, traction control and when driving never exceed 35 mph and you...

    GUYS CALM DOWN! I LOVE THE CAR! I AM NOT TRASHING VIPERS!

    heh.. welcome to the wrath of the viper-zealots remember- the viper is the god's chariot and if it breaks.. he would rather walk than ride an *** you need to grow your skin thicker alex 02 gts few other cars

    At what RPM do I shift through the six speeds?

    i cannot undestand how some people have a viper and know _nothing_ about it. 15k rpms is not realistic. at all. i am about to purchase titanium rods, rockers and the whole valvetrain thingie and i was told that i cant spin any faster than 10k rpms because the car will flip sideways from the...

    ok, so i got a whiny tranny..

    the rear end noise has quiet down to the point where i dont care about it. however, in 5th and 6th gear i have significant whine from the transmission at anything above 50 or so. i dont remember my other t-56s to be like that. i have not checked the tranny fluid level (but i will this weekend)...

    Tax, title, lic out of state

    i went through the whole thing a month ago. the gas guzzler tax is part of the invoice- hence you pay tax on it (which is tax on tax really, but you still pay it). i have to check on the paperwork, but i think you _also_ pay tax on the lux tax because the sales tax is calculated based on the...

    ABS?? THEN WHY DO I HAVE A FLAT SPOT?

    your abs was not working- hence the flat spot. i have never managed to get flat spots with abs-equipped cars? the pulsing is so fast that i dont think you can get enough friction to get flat spots. unleast you are going really really fast in which case even fast pulsing results in locked wheels...

    Who's gone fast in their R/T10?

    High Pitch Whining Noise - Pls Help

    depending on the cruising speed i have two distinct whines. at around 50 i have one coming from the rear end. i assume this to be normal. my richmonds in other cars were much noiser (and i know they were done right since i did them myself and i've done a few rear ends ). the other one auidable...

    huh? i just did the cags mod and now...

    i did my search on the internet (no, i did not bother to measure the solenoid R) and the consensus was the you can use either a 200 ohm (or so) resistor that will heat up very quickly but will work fine due to the fact that cags is active only for few seconds) or you can use a 2.2k 1/2 watt...

    huh? i just did the cags mod and now...

    nevermind. the ses light went out. i guess the computer needed to "get used" to the resistor. which makes me think that even when the ignition is off, there is voltage in the cags circuit and unpluging the solenoid results in a ses (even if you simply plug it back in after that) and after...

    Anybody have an M5 as their other car?

    i had a 00 m5. the m5 is a totally different car for different mood it is refined, plush and its pull is amazing - maybe not as hard as the viper's, however hard to judge though since it is so smooth. in a viper you know you are going 100 mph, in an m5 you think you are doing 60. its ride is...

    huh? i just did the cags mod and now...

    i have a ses light now, i _know_ i did the mod correctly and i used what i found on the internet to be the correct resistor value - 2.2k ohms at 1/2 watts. i cant just unplug the solenoid because it will set a light on a odb 2 cars- and mine is such. so i did plug in a 2.2k ohms resistor and...

    I have just about had it with the keyless entry

    argh.. i made a fool out of myself again last night. for a 3rd time. this is what happens: 1. i lock the car with the remote (beep) 2. i come back later (the alarm is undisturbed or at least seems so) 3. cannot unlock the car 4. go through the trunk, open the car, alarm goes off, insert key...

    Skip Shift

    rev the car to 2k or more and it will let you go into 2nd. also, you can get a skip-shift eliminator (installs in minutes) or i just learned today that you can unplug the solenoid (make sure you dont unplug the reverse lock-out one or you will end up with no reverse). if you just unplug it, make...

    HORRIBLE 1-2 UPSHIFT

    speaking of skipshift- can i just unplug the solenoid from the tranny or this will set a ses code? if just unplugging sets a code do i have to use a resistor to full the skipshift and if so what value? anybody? thanx alex 02 gts few other cars

    19" WHEELS... yet another question

    Re: 19\" WHEELS... yet another question are there any springs that will lower the car, but not increase stiffness? my 02 gts is strictly a street car and i think the 18" wheel combo with stock springs is just stiff enough to not get on my nerves when driving the car every day.... imo, there is...

    Check engine light came on after hitting redline

    hitting the rev limiter should not generate a ses. did you overrev going from 4th to 1th by mistake? if so you might have some internal engine damage. check the code and take it from there... alex 02 gts few other cars
