    Is my Alternator dieing?

    Odds are you have a voltage drop issue or that new battery is defective. Have the alternator tested with a load tester to see actual output. Do you have a smaller crank pulley? Many race spec cars change this and it will not charge enough at low speeds. If it is a computer issue, it would not...

    paint issues--please help

    I would be happy to help you with this. Glen Thomas is a local dealer to me. I am sure they would help if I had an issue fixing this. It takes a bit of time to properly align these windows, I worked on this quite a bit on the Gen 4's and am sure that it bleeds over.

    check engine light

    Not all dealers are the same and SRT has worked hard to get well trained, responsable service people on board. Do some homework and make a connection with someone at the dealer, you might be suprised. The SRT dealers I have dealt with in California have been great.

    check engine light

    This looks like a battery problem. Charge the battery and have it checked. Just had a 2013 that had a bad battery from sitting too long. Even new batteries can go bad if they sit partially discharged for too long. When a battery discharges the acid moves out of the plates, if it is not absorbed...

    Gen 4 cat back questions

    Hey Dave, The 08-10 side exhaust systems sell for $400-$600 typically. They offer less heat; better sound and a 5-peak hp gain on the 03-06 models. There are numerous options for a cat back system. The Gen 4 (08-10) model differs from the Gen 3 and many Viper owners do not understand the...

    My second round of mods-Car is going to RSI

    I worked with AEM on the first stand alone systems for the Viper, I provided them with the first development car a 96 GTS. We did have a bunch of issues at first, a hardware change was needed to add an additional ground for the wideband sensors and there were some software updates, but after all...

    Need a little HELP. 99 RT/10 will not stay running without giving it gas...

    You need to do an idle relearn, hold the pedal until the idle catches then let it idle for five minutes, then turn on the AC and let it idle for 5 minutes. That allows the computer to relearn the idle.

    96 dipstick indicator

    The 96 GTS dipsticks had a red ring around the top that went over the dipstick tube. These did not seal well and often popped out with crankcase pressure. As VPA stated they superseded number was the fix. Dealers are often confused with 96 Vipers as they had two generations that year.

    lowering cap install help...

    One thing that many folks miss when lowering the car is the proper loading of the suspension bushings. When a car is lowered, the upper and lower control arm bushing mounts must be untightened to let the car settle to the proper ride height, if you lower the car and do not do this then the...

    Gen II GTS Fuel Tank Issue

    I have seen this happen a few times over the years. As before mentioned it is an RT/10 specific issue and happens where the filler neck connects to the tank. About a 8 hour plus job.

    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    Exhaust heat has always been an issue with the Viper. Not many vehicle manufacturers encapsulate the exhaust system in the body. Those who do (like Austin Martin) have an elaborate exhaust ventilation system and numerous shields (many made from Inconel). On the early Vipers, 1992-1993 your...

    SRT10 Oil Pump Failure (Gen 3) w/ Photos

    I have seen this type of failure before but only on engines that have had crankshaft issues or have been line bored incorrectly. Check the keyway to make sure it fits correctly. I had an engine with an aftermarket crankshaft that caused this problem. Check the front main bearing for excessive...

    Rear sway bar end links

    The front and rear sway bar links are a common replacement part on all 1992-2006 models. They tend to wear to a point that they have excessive play or bind up from lack of lubrication. The dust boots crack and the link ball ends dry up, causing them to go south. The sway bar links are available...

    Intake Gen 2 vs Gen 3

    The later short runner intake was a compromise, it lacks volume and was designed to fit under the hood. With the single throttle body design and short runners it is better for driveability and peak power, but the long runner Gen 1-2 manifold makes much more torque across the powerband. When we...

    Another loose Crank bolt...kind of

    I was referring to the bolt. if you chase the threads, use a new balancer, use red lock tight on the bolt and pin the crank, you should be fine.

    roe tune dyno numbers

    The car could be going into spark knock and reducing the power. I have found at times the Roe tunes are setup for the fuel they run in Florida, which may be better than ours. Try to raise the octane level and see what happens.

    Another loose Crank bolt...kind of

    Boy this is tricky. I have been able to save most of the cranks that had this issue. But I have had a couple that I had to remove and repair the crankshaft. To be honest the best lubricant I have ever used for stuck bolts is kerosene and motor oil mixed together.

    Intake Gen 2 vs Gen 3

    No, not on a stock engine. To be honest, some gains can be found going the opposite direction.
