    Viper Tech @ Jack Carroll Dodge?

    The guy I spoke to at Kirkland Rairdon's said that the Viper Tech worked out of the Monroe Rairdon's, and the service guy I spoke to at Monroe said they had a viper tech and he was "one of 20 master mechanics in Washington state". I spoke to Ken and I'd love to take it down there but I'm...

    Viper Tech @ Jack Carroll Dodge?

    Heh - I've learned that now, with a little help. I'm glad I didn't just drive up there one morning looking for a service department. GreenViper also suggested Rairdon's in Totem Lake and I spoke to one of their service guys who pointed me to the Monroe Rairdon's where their viper tech &...

    Viper Tech @ Jack Carroll Dodge?

    Anyone know if there's a good Viper Tech at Jack Carroll Dodge in Lynnwood currently? I've got something I need to have looked at (giving it throttle in any gear doesn't produce the power curve it should - it behaves like it's not getting fuel when I push the go pedal down, and it makes a weird...

    Tar / asphalt removal?

    I wound up using the can of Stone Tarminator that I had, which looks and smells a lot of WD-40 ;) It worked great, and now that I've finished a complete detailing I'll be trying some other products next time (like the Meguiars' paint cleaner recommended above) to see if I can fix some problems...

    Tar / asphalt removal?

    I had a bad WD-40 experience when someone sprayed it all over my first hot ride (some 7 year old thugs applied it liberally to my banana seat & bicycle with chromed 18" wheels when I was in kindergarten. It still chokes me up just a little thinking about it...) But seeing how you're all on...

    Tar / asphalt removal?

    This looks like what you're talking about, for cleaning: Meguiar's Direct Gold Class Bug N' Tar Remover I'll hit a different auto place on the way home, maybe they have it in stock. Thanks.

    Tar / asphalt removal?

    I've got some asphalt splatter on the side sills and paint behind the front wheels from an unavoidable road repaving incident. I saw a couple of products that promise removal and no damage to the clearcoat at the local auto place (spray-ons and aerosols - supposed to spray it on and then wait 60...

    Diagnostic Codes redux

    Last week I had what I thought was a fuse problem on my 2004 but all fuses checked out. Now when I insert the key and turn it to the on position I get a blinking MIL for about 11 seconds then a solid MIL. The service manual says this means all once-per-trip readiness monitors have not...

    blown fuse on a 2004?

    Hmm, now I have a small mystery. I pulled the ASD fuse, visually inspected and then tested it with a fuse tester and it's fine. I reseated it and then pulled the ASD relay also but couldn't see any way to test it simply. I tested all of the other fuses in-place and they're fine, except I...

    blown fuse on a 2004?

    I turned the key this morning on my 2004, got the instrument gauge cluster powered up and appeared to have all systems go, and then I hit the vroom button and... everything shut down with a brief, harsh sound that might've been the starter motor beginning to engage. Took the key out, put it...

    Good morning

    It was just one of those visuals that would make a great short-film, especially from my perspective :)

    Good morning

    It was good to see you out in your black SRT-10 (albeit, with the top up) this morning in Sammamish! I hope that the three police cars in full strobing-and-blaring hot pursuit didn't catch up with you, or if they did, whatever trouble you caused was a lot of fun ;) -scott

    Lesson learned

    No, no snake bites :) I decided to drive the truck today. Driving along Lake Sammamish this morning, a beautiful, clean, waxed, see-your-nose-hairs-in-the-shine black SRT10 with a wing is following behind me. Sigh. He punches it as we enter the freeway and begins to use The Force on the...

    Spotted Bob K today

    Sounds like me! I frequently [but randomly ;)] drive home via Union Hill and then take the twisties over to Ames Lake road to connect back up with 202. They repaved the part of Union Hill that connects with Ames Lake and the banking turns are nice - when the road is clear of gravel. Hmm...

    Any pics of polished or CF roll hoops on a Silver SRT?

    I just installed the autoform rollbar on my '04 and noticed that the ribbing on the top rubs against the driver-side hoop. Does yours do that also Sylvan?

    That looks like the Uplands in North Bend - if it is, you had a nice long drive. Great pics, I wish I could have joined you :)

    Bad New Car Smell / Other New Owner Questions

    My 2004 puts out some strong stink when I pull into the garage after a good drive. At 2200 miles now, I -think- the smell has decreased but not by much and it was so bad that I installed 500 CFM of exhaust fans in the exterior garage wall to (1) create negative pressure and prevent the fumes...

    2005 Viper & Other Exotics Spotters Thread

    I was pulling out of my driveway onto a neighborhood street two weeks ago to give a neighbor kid a ride, and a yellow blur followed by a red blur followed by another yellow blur zipped by ahead of me on the main street. I knew what the yellow blur was, so I caught up and quickly. My passenger...

    Viper Roll Bar

    Another year has passed, and my family being the creative funny people they are, decided to remind me to make my 04 safe by getting me a viper roll bar: The left-most object is clear, the middle object is (was) a hard roll with some flavorful italian seasoning (quite tasty) and the right...
