    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    Beware...all that is painted white MAY NOT be what you think it is. Things have changed...maybe same for the aforementioned WIX.

    CPU Communication with Gen 2 GTS

    Yes, Dan is still the man for repairing PCM'S. I know of several successful cases in the past couple of years. Furthermore, he can supply a replacement if needed.

    Gen2 Hydraulic Clutch Line

    You might want to contact Tom Sessions in Hampstead, NC as he has a couple of new OEM masters (with hose). He also has had (and solved) what sounds like the same connector issue as you described. He can be reached at910 228 8477

    Gen2 Hydraulic Clutch Line

    I just measured a takeoff clutch master cylinder hydraulic line at 33.5 inches connector to connector...from a friend's 01 R/T 10. I hope that this helps.

    Looking for info on when Creampuff engines were first built in 1999.

    That seems plausible to me, Dave. I believe that production of new models generally started around August. Offering no hard facts, my GUESS would be that all 2000's "started life" with the cast piston engines...and, as I recall, the first 100 of which were heavy oil consumers. Then the...

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

    Opinion: based on 30 years of very active participation in the Viper world, I would say that they are very solid cars in general...with each year having a few peculiar quirks of their own. Whatever Gen II that you may ultimately choose, keep an extra $6,000 to $10,000 in your car account to...

    Pedal spacing

    A bit of history: "In September of 2002 when the not-yet-released 2003 SRT-10's were offered for test drives at VOI.7 in Nashville, a Skip Barber instructor rode with each driver on the small autocross courses. As one entered the driver's seat, the instructor pointed out several things...one of...

    Does anyone know of someone named Ragsdale or Richard Gibbs in the viper community?

    Aside from trying to find the above mentioned folks, have you made any progress diagnosing your Viper's issue(s) ??

    1997 GTS was running then stopped. Something electrical.

    Thanks, Dan...we both know that you can certainly get him up and running if that's it !!

    1997 GTS was running then stopped. Something electrical.

    Any update ??

    1997 GTS was running then stopped. Something electrical.

    Anything is possible...but, a battery jump box is generally much less likely to harm the PCM than the real Gen II PCM killer which a battery charger plugged into an A /C power outlet that has a "boost to start" button. Has this car been in storage ? When it was running, how long was it at a...

    Off idle stumble and misfire 08 Coupe

    Hi, Loren...it's been a while ! The number that I have for you will not work. Give me a call if you like. I also sent an email. Steve P.S. The email bounced as well !!

    Mystery misfire

    I recall tracing a misfire of one plug on our 99 only to find that the one OEM plug wire's resistance was WAY high. Changed wires, problem solved.

    Mystery misfire

    By any chance, did you check the resistance on plug wire #7 ?

    Buying Gen 3 with 8 prior owners?

    And 04's have the infamous downsized harmonic damper bolt (along with possibly a few early 05's) that was prone to backing out !!

    Buying Gen 3 with 8 prior owners?

    Now, that said...if a person such as Dan Cragin were to do the PPI on that Viper and subsequently told me that it was a solid car, I would buy it sight unseen. I say that because I really mean it. That is the value of a Tech with a wealth or Viper experience who is well respected...as he was...

    Buying Gen 3 with 8 prior owners?

    I would be concerned about this situation. While I have not researched this particular market of late, there are bound to be a number of 2003's out there with fewer owners...thereby reducing the overall risk of surprises. The price also seems high to me. Keep in mind that you need to have an...

    New to me gen 2 RT/10 missing air bag fuses.

    Several years ago, a solid guy with many Vipers, Prowlers, etc. stated the through his long multi-vehicle collecting history he did indeed have a few mishaps...all of which were repaired via insurance. However, he noted that 30% did not show up on Carfax. In my own experience, two different...

    New to me gen 2 RT/10 missing air bag fuses.

    I have heard of people pulling the fuses because they feel that the air bags are a threat...particularly with the potential issue with Takata equipment. I do not agree with that philosophy. Another possibility might be that there was a problem somewhere in the Occupant Restraint System that...

    1996 Rt/10 Missing coolant tank help

    Good writeup. Sir. I have run across a 95 that was driven without issues for about 8 years without changing the coolant AND without the owner realizing the overflow/ recovery bottle in the front fascia was missing. Its absence was only noted when he called me for help one day due to a green...
