    Thermostat question.

    I'm certainly no expert, but how does changing the thermostat help the car run cooler when the fan is ECM programmed to kick on at a certain temp that's designed with the factory stat in mind (probably 195). The temperature can't stay at either thermostatic temperature just because the water...

    new aluminum flywheel

    Thanks Redsled,now it's clear as mud! I guess, like many things in life, opinions are abundant...everybody has one. Well, it arrived in the mail today and I'll have it installed in March. I'll post MY opinion then! Sadly, it won't be the first time I pi$$ed away $393! By the by, I noticed that...

    new aluminum flywheel

    Every winter I get into this thing about upgrading the Viper with a new bolt on...nothing real fancy, just something to spice it up for next spring. It's a '99 GTS with WCV ECU modification, Random Tech hi flo cats, 3" Corsa, 3.55 Unitrax differential, tubes and filters. Car runs great, looks...

    ecu

    can't really give you a definite answer, but as I understand it, West Coast Vipers is still a very reputable house. I had my ECU done when Jason was there and I love it. Car just seems to explode when you nail it. No negative comments on their work.

    Any Viper techs in Pittsburgh, PA?

    The Laurel Valley Motors connection comes from me. The service manager's name is T.O. and the Viper tech is Art. Telephone number is 724-539-5500. Art is a terrific mechanic and an excellent, trained Viper tech. He's the only one who's ever touched my '99 GTS. Performed several mod's and done...

    what sound does it make when you hit the rev limiter??

    When you hit it the first time, chances are you'll never forget it! sounds like you pulled the plug on it...kills the engine immediately. not sure but I think it's a fuel cut off, not electrical. kind of scarey when you do it.

    99'ACR vs 99'gts which one?

    Re: 99\'ACR vs 99\'gts which one? I have a '99GTS and have driven the ACR's as well. Do yourself a big favor. Find yourself a really nice car first. Second, try to find your really nice car in the color you like. Last, worry about whether it's an ACR or GTS. You sound like you'll be doing the...

    Roe vs. Random Tech Hi Flow Cats: Flow rates???

    I need to replace my Random tech Hi Flo cats, bought them several years ago from Jon B. at the Parts Rack. Will stay with Jon B. for a new set of Random Tech's. For all around street use '99 GTS, 3" Corsa, 3.55 gears and a doctored PCM from West Coast Viper, which cats are better...the ceramics...

    Hi Flo Cats

    I've got a set of Random Flo Cats purchased a few years ago along with a 3" Corsa cat back on my '99 GTS. Smells like I might have blown out or otherwise failed one or both of the cats. Besides that, the car is louder than ever, which I really don't mind, but the smell is raunchy! Can't find my...

    Chip Question

    You may be missing the best option out there. You asked about a "chip" upgrade and were correctly informed that the Viper does not have a chip. Instead it has an engine control module referred to as a PCM. Up until recently, no one has offered to reprogram the Viper's PCM on a retail basis to...

    FASTER THAN A VIPER

    Oh, what a great thread! Kinda reminds me of the one..."greatest heavyweight of all times!". OK, back to cars...I grew up in the famous '60's and worked in a speed shop fixing rich kids cars while working my way thru college. Probably worked on and drove just about every hot car in that time...

    Don't know if you found it yet, but mine was installed under the PCM black sheet metal cover, right next to the battery jump location for a '99GTS.

    Neutral Gear Rattle - '99 vs '00

    Re: Neutral Gear Rattle - \'99 vs \'00 I had a '95 R/T10 and the NGR was very noticeable. When I upgraded to the '99GTS, I believe the dealer had mentioned that they had all but eliminated the NGR by changing the type of transmission fluid and I believe a mechanical change as well (just can't...

    Thermostate 185 anyone got one

    This is a real interesting thread with lots of information....some good, some not so good. First off, never run with no thermostat. It does allow the coolant to pass thru the radiator way too quickly to cool. That's a certified fact, one of the first tests that's made when you have an...

    Anyone with PCM Programming from West Coast Viper?

    I have already responded on the "New Parts and Suppliers" section of the forum that originally started with an informational piece from Jason at West Coast. Mine's a '99GTS, tubes/filters, Corsa 3" w/ Random Tech Hi Flo cats, 3.55 gears. New PCM from West Coast has a very noticeable jump...

    should i change the oil.................

    Vinny, you've just unknowingly opened Pandora's box with your "...how often" question. I'm basically in the same mode as you, although I drive my car about 2000 miles per year, all between April and October. Since your in Atlanta, you probably drive your 1000 miles throughout all 12 months...

    PCM Programming now available!!! L@@K!!

    Just installed and tested Jason's latest recipe ECM reprogram in my '99 GTS. Car has basic mods...K&N's, tubes, 3" Corsa, R/T Hi Flo cats, 3.55 gears. Tell you what folks, it's a missle! Third gear pulls so hard, it's actually a bit scarey! Never believed that this simple and relatively...

    Help!! Cat's bad??

    Re: Help!! Cat\'s bad?? Ulysses.....thanks for the thought, but that O2 check engine sensor has now been disabled. I had it taken care of over the winter when I had the sensor bypassed. I will mention, though, that up until then it never went on again, after the Viper tech reset it, after my...

    Help!! Cat's bad??

    Help!! Cat\'s bad?? Got a strange symtom, need some ideas. Raced a guy at the end of last year and ran the car, full throttle, thru first 4 gears. The O2 sensor "check engine" light appeared a day later, had the car checked and the tech said it was a down stream sensor indicating one of the...

    Rich Detert short shifter install problem

    I have a '99GTS w/ Detert's shifter installed. Had the Viper tech do it. He said it took him only a few minutes to do, but I believe he did it from the bottom while the car was on a lift. The dealer didn't even charge me he did it so quickly, while oil was being changed. If you want the tech's...

    OutThere sends his love (pics)...

    Wow, what does OutThere do for a living? Just saw in Autoweek Magazine where the last remaining McLaren F-1 is going to be offered for sale by the factory...silver and it looks incredible (several steps beyond awesome). It's the very last F-1 ever made and has been on display at the factory in...
