    Coolant Flush Gen V

    I’ve had to fill my coolant several times, for various reasons, in my GEN 3. Never really had a burping or air pocket problem, just drive for 40 or 50 miles and top off the reservoir. My method has been disconnect the upper radiator hose at the thermostat housing, pour 3 gallons of coolant...

    Short shifter options these days?

    My recipe for a short shifter was cut the head off a bolt the length I wanted it to be, then cut threads in it to match the pitch of the shifter knob I wanted to use.

    What really limits rev capability on these cars?

    Without knowing anything else, I thought the 9L became popular because of limited RPM capability, so just add displacement instead.

    Why did ACRs never have special engines?

    There were rumors since that FCA owned Ferrari also they didn’t want the Viper to out perform Ferrari. Therefore almost no engine development for 10 years.

    $171 wiper refill?

    I bought a spare set of wiper arms for my GEN 3, the plan has been to graft on the more traditional shepherds hook onto them, so they will accept the common wiper blades.

    Some guys do a cut and paste, but no aftermarket available. RockAuto's got them for $116 and $147.

    New Intermittent Whirring Sound - Clutch?

    Might be internal transmission, when you press the clutch it disengages the transmission and gear train stop spinning. Even in neutral.

    Oil Pressure

    Mine was indicating 70 psi while running at every RPM and temp. New sensor took care of it.

    Oil Pressure

    I believe the oil sensors adapter is a 1 year only item, 2003. After that they went straight into the block. Service manual wasn't updated.

    New Viper owner, some concerns after fresh maintenance items…

    This has always been a problem, even before the days of coil packs, when you had a distributor. Getting the plug wires back on right when you’re in a hurry or not paying attention.

    AC blowing hot under acceleration

    The engine controller disengages the compressor for anything above light acceleration for a couple of seconds. This is tunable with HP tuners.

    Anyone used HP Tuners on a gen 3?

    I've been using HPtuners MPVI2+ on 2 Gen3s for a few years now. I log with 2 wide bands that provide a voltage that represents the A/F ratio. Other than taking 3.5 minutes to load a new tune (General Motors take 20-30 seconds) it's been pretty good.

    PO441 Pending & PO443 Codes

    Those codes are most commonly caused by a loose gas cap.

    P0202 code, injector tests good?

    I’d swap injectors between two cylinders and see if you get a new code.

    Rear poly lower shock bushing - Part number?

    On my Gen3 I used leaf spring shackle bushings for a late 80s Chebby truck - Energy Suspension 2.2110g. Some centering washers were involved. My stockers were metal on metal.

    High Temp Paint for Side Sills

    Don't know what kind of emissions testing they have in your area, but running no cats will cut the exhaust temp in half.....

    New battery Gen 3

    Got mine at Sam's. Rattle can painted the back side of the case so it wasn't so obvious looking at the back of the car. https://www.samsclub.com/p/auto-group-24-34agm-36-mo-free/prod9510079?xid=plp_product_37

    Rear differential replacement issues!!

    I agree with this. There are several 4x4 Jeep shops in my area with tons of experience setting up the Dana 44, it's a big part of their business.

    Service engine soon light on

    I handle this same situation 2 different ways, either just clear the code or I also have a spare air temp spacer to plug in the harness to run without the air box.

    Service engine soon light on

    Get one of these Autel MS309 $20 code readers so you can read and clear codes. Work great...

    Wheel speed signal failure that changes locations check engine on

    First thing I would try is battery disconnect/ connect. Make sure to have a window down or door open when you do it.

    Paxton wheel hop

    My Gen3 (no Paxton) had wheel hop until I installed poly bushings in the suspension, lower shock mounts, diff mounts, and motor mounts.

    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    Blue good for 300 F, reds good for 500 F. So not a problem. I’ve recently started using the orange stuff for these type of applications.

    Loose harmonic balancer AND crank pulley

    Old school Mopar's, both big and small block, had a larger diameter crank snout. A large diameter and thick washer was required to attach the damper because the head of the bolt was too small to contact it. The torque on the bolt was reduced because the washer would deform instead of the bolt...
