    Replacing valve stem seals

    If the car is smoking on start up and oils is getting down the guides, most likely just changing seals will not fix this. When I get an older car like this, first thing I do is drop the oil pan and check a couple rod bearings, if they are good then I do a leak down test. If the on a warm motor...

    KW suspension on ‘93 GEN 1?

    BC does not have a option for the Gen 1's. The KW option is suspect, as I never could get it in the day, very pricey as well. Your Koni shocks can be rebuilt and upgraded, which makes a big difference. Problem is, you have to send them out for 8-10 weeks. MCS also can build a system for the...

    Viper Tech, happy to help

    First I would bleed out the clutch hydraulic system. Also make sure the clutch hydraulic line in not too close the the exhaust. If the problem persists, it might be a clutch release problem, which requires a new clutch and slave assembly. I would drain the transmission fluid and look for...

    Viper Tech, happy to help

    I always use the stock wheel sensors. They program quickly and last many years. I have had issues with the aftermarket sensors, either not programming or failing when you hit a bump. As far as the noise when cold that goes away when warm. I would check for a cracked exhaust manifold, tends to...

    Viper Tech, happy to help

    Hi All, As these Vipers get older, I see so many horror stories in regards to diagnosis and repair of simple problems. I've seen pretty much everything on these cars, all generations, but specifically Gen 1-3. I'm semi retired now, but still active in the Viper community. I have worked...

    Engine Ticking

    You might want to check the exhaust manifolds for cracks. Very common on Gen 3's and sounds like a lifter noise, worse when cold.

    Milling gen 4 heads?

    Gen 4's have a weak piston and can often fail from detonation. On our street performance engines with the .028 headgasket, compression was raised to 10.1, but 94 octane gas was required.

    2003 Check Engine light due to EVAP lines

    You do not need to cut a hole in the truck. The Evap pump and lines can be accessed from under the car. Typically the lines are cracked either at the pump or at the hose that vents the filler neck.

    Gen 4 New York State Inspection - Incomplete Readiness Tests

    I was able to get Redtanrt to pass emissions with the stock computer and Belanger system, but the same car with a different owner cant get it too pass now as the cats just are not working good enough. If you go through the proper drive cyle several times and the Cat monitor wont pass, odds are...

    Gen 4 New York State Inspection - Incomplete Readiness Tests

    I typically cannot get the Gen 4's to pass the catalyst monitor with the Belanger setup. If I change the location of the upstream O2 to the collector and put a CARB approved catalyst in the system, I can get it to pass. I like to use the factory secondary cats as they flow well and work good...

    Buying a 2000 GTS with TNT options

    I have not heard from Roy or Joe at TNT for numerous years. They had a TNT 555 kit that included ported heads, 1.7 rockers, Comp Cam, Long tube headers and high flow cats and a fresh air intake system. A 3.55 gear and light flywheel were often added as well.
