    Question regarding Viper oil filter.

    I've ordered Viper oil filters many times online. This one looks different (image 4230). The information is on a label attached to the filter, not printed on the filter. Came in a box marked properly, but it's different. Box is marked 05037836ab -001.

    New Intermittent Whirring Sound - Clutch?

    I had a similar, soft intermittent whirring sound in September, and the shop replaced the belt, tensioner, and pulley. Now it's back. Very infrequent. This time I noticed that when I depress the clutch pedal it goes away. Thoughts?

    Coolant Leak Engine

    Looks like orange coolant is leaking. I see one drop on top of the heat shield and more below as shown in the photo. I'll have to take it for repairs. What can I expect to have done?

    Intermittent whirring sound

    I'm hearing a soft whirring (woo-woo-woo) when sitting at idle. I don't hear it when I give it a little gas while stopped, and I don't hear it while driving (could be due to road noise). It doesn't always happen. I'll stop at a light and hear the sound, then at the next light, I don't hear it...

    No low beams

    I had an evap purge solenoid installed at the shop, and the next day I discovered I have no low beams. High beams and fog lights work. Is it possible that the mechanic might have dislodged a wire while he was working under the car installing the new part, or is that unlikely?

    PO441 Pending & PO443 Codes

    My '02 Viper had a PO 441 code last year and I cleared it. It didn't come back on until now (about 1500 miles since). This time I got a PO441-P accompanied by a PO443. The car runs great. I cleared both codes, but I'm unsure whether to continue ignoring the issue or take it to a shop for repairs.

    V10 Dodge Viper v V8 Challenger: DRAG RACE

    I got some much-needed chuckles while watching these two Brits drag race a Gen 2 Viper against a Dodge Challenger. The video is 11 minutes long, but you can fast-forward to the races (3) if you prefer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUKJ3Y0X2jg&ab_channel=carwow

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I've always used the OEM Viper oil filter (5037836AB) but I've been having difficulty finding them. When I do, they're running around $25 shipped, which seems overly expensive to me. Can someone recommend an alternate oil filter for Gen ll Vipers?

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Had a mechanic install a new condenser that I purchased from AC Auto Solutions (https://autoacsolutions.com/products/). He wasn't impressed with how it was made. Not being a mechanic I'm not sure exactly what he meant other than he thought it wasn't a "modern" style condenser considering it was...

    PO441 Code

    PO442 code last month so I had the purge valve and several hoses replaced by a Dodge Service tech. Can't get the hoses so they used what they could get for replacement. Cost me a small fortune to have this done. Now I have a PO441 code, which indicates a purge flow fault. Thinking a hose came...
