This is the R14 recall. What you described happened to many, many Vipers. Some happened at highway speed.
Note: A dealership recently told an owner that the R14 kits were no longer available. I have not tried to confirm that.
I suggest that you contact your CJDR dealer ASAP.
Recall date...
The "2007 Viper" has come up in more than one location. As I recall, this designation has generally been used by a few people discussing EU vehicles. If I am on the right track here, that may mean the car would be designated by the year of registration by the MOT, DOT, etc. versus by the 10...
First answer is...I don't know a quick answer.
It might be helpful to know the year, model, mileage, mods of said Viper.
Did you check the negative battery cable's connection to the frame? Other grounds?
After that, have you measured resting battery voltage with a multimeter...also need to do...
96McViper, if you send a text to 317-402-9013, I will take a photo tomorrow of our 1996 "McViper" with a ruler along side the Sneaky Pete. By the way, beware of the Sneaky Pete found on the 1997 GTS "McViper" as it is smaller.
As I recall, Tom's original 40mm kits used a sleeve on the 36mm piston to bring it up to 40mm.
For those interested, Tom had full explanations of both form and function of his modification on this site...along with some stopping data comparisons.
Search "40mm" posts by " Tom F&L, GoR".
My guess is that it was an early build that had the original breather hose set up that needed to be rerouted.
Here is a listing of R 29 parts that I looked up a couple of years ago when the kits were on backorder:
"Aside from the oil and SRToil filter, here are the components...
Sammy, welcome to the world of Vipers !!
You have raised the question on recalls...especially for 2013 and 20q4 model years. I suspect that many could write a book here...but is not going to be me today. If you have a Viper VIN to question, go here...
Mikyver13, as Dave said, service manuals for your year are the place to start...and, they are generally available on ebay. Get the printed version as they are much easier to use.
Two rules I make myself adhere to when doing the IOD test on a Viper: lower the windows before you start and begin...
As I recall, when Tom stopped supplying them, a gentleman in Canada started making them...at least for a time. Since I am not sure where this stands now, I suggest that you text me at 317-402-9013 and I will send the contact info for that person in Ontario.
That will work just fine...and you can still use your "cross" bracket.
My local interstate store is great.
They know I will want to see date of manufacture, resting voltage, cold crank, and load test. For tests to be accurate, battery cannot be on a charger for the 30 minutes preceeding the...
Battery group size for Gen V ACR and ACR-X was V4.
Last time I checked, you could get one at MB dealership. Not sure of this, but MB may use these as starter battery only noting there is also a bigger battery in car to run everything else.
T5 came in GTS, SRT, T/A, and GT...and will fit into...
You may get dozens of answers here...some factual, some fanciful, and everything in between.
Today's quality full synthetic oils offer a lot of protection by cling to metal parts for a long time.
Since I live in a place where winter Viper driving is not a good idea, our Vipers routinely sit...
Starting in 1999, Dodge started using Synthetic Manual Transmission Lubricant 75W-85 (made be Castrol) as the "factory fill". It was used through 2006. This fluid is "stiff" when cold. This was a change from the Dexron II-e and Dexron III used in prior years. The change was undertaken to...
IronClad, Gen I and II are different.
As Goggles stated, more info necessary to sort your 1996 GTS. In my opinion, talking through these issues is far more productive and efficient than random postings. Feel free to CALL me if you like. 317-402-9013. Maybe I can help you narrow down the...
