    Did you mean WIX 51085XP Extended Performance, not Extreme Duty?

    Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?

    Not sure if it's a door sag issue. I had a similar tear and used high-quality black electrical tape to fix it eight years ago. Still looks good, and with dozens of people checking out my car over the years at Cars & Coffee (and a few other shows), nobody has ever noticed it.

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    The cost of 4 tires averages $ 1,800, give or take. Try JonB or Tire Rack.

    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.

    How much of a financial “burden” has your GTS been?

    I bought a 2002 Viper from the original owner with 11,500 miles on it eight years ago. He had it for 15 years and rarely drove it. I put another 18,000 miles on the car since then. Same as Badinternet, I put a ton of money into it since I don't work on cars. Gaskets, hoses, AC system, slave...

    New from Hagerty: Viper Prices Are Falling

    Not really making the argument that values are increasing. I said stable or maybe rising. I realize this was a collector's car with less than 1000 miles, and not representative of any trend. Six different individuals bid over $100,000 for the car. I doubt they were all drunk. :)

    Expel Windshield Protective Film

    Does anyone have experience with Expel WPF? I have an appointment coming up to have my windshield and headlights covered. Also, paint correction and ceramic coating. Anything to be concerned about before I drop off my Viper?

    1999 RT10 in the UK

    I have only seen summer tires for my Gen ll Viper. They get hard once the temperature dips into the 50s and below. Check the tire manufacturer's recommendations for cold weather. I live in South Carolina, where most days are mild in winter, but I won't drive my Viper if it's in the low forties...

    New Intermittent Whirring Sound - Clutch?

    I forgot to mention that I replaced the clutch when the slave cylinder went five years (and 12,000 miles) ago. Ugh!

    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

    It turns out to be a loose hose clamp on a silicone hose, from when I replaced all the heater hoses six years ago.

    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 can still hear it when I turn the AC off. If it's a bearing on the serpentine drive, are they readily available? I'll have to drop the car off at a repair shop, so I sometimes purchase the item first if it's hard to get.

    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 pulled both low beam fuses, and they looked ok. I put two new fuses in, turned on the switch, and the lights came on!

    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?
