    2003 SRT 10 Viper Parts Needed

    Window trim might be tricky. That's a pretty known failure point, but I'm not sure if anyone is actually making new stock style yet or not. There are a couple of aftermarket ones I've seen out there from time to time, but otherwise I think a lot of people just find ways to glue stuff back...

    Hard start when hot

    If I'm reading the manual correctly, the heater circuit has quite the range. It says as low as 100 ohms and as high as 4.5 megaohm. Mine are both testing at 4.5 ohms, so definitely on the low side, but not a dead short. Would kind of explain the fuse going over time vs blowing the second I...

    Hard start when hot

    Yeah, sorry to hijack original thread. My issue was G3 based. A new fuse appears to have gotten the PCM back online, but wanting to make sure I track down the original cause to make sure it doesn't happen again. I'll have a look at the O2s. I was pretty sure mine were still well covered in...

    Hard start when hot

    Well, that might have just saved me several hundred dollars, though it raises a bigger question as well. ASD fuse was blown, which is PCM power among many other things if I'm reading the diagrams correctly. Looks like it powers some O2 sensors, injectors, and the cooling module as well. So...

    Hard start when hot

    I'll have to do a little more digging today. Haven't had a lot of time as it was a bit of a morning trying to figure out if I was going to make it to work or not. When the Viper gave up I tried my Dart, but I had just loaded a new tune into it over the weekend and hadn't had a chance to test...

    Hard start when hot

    So funny story (or not depending on your point of view), I think a PCM failure is exactly what just happened to me this morning. Went to start it (dead cold start, hasn't run for a few days) and it did its typical "crank a little longer than I was used to", but I let off the button too quick...

    Gen 2 Subwoofer Replacement

    It would depend on the impedance rating you got. You can wire the coils of a DVC in series or in parallel to get different impedances to match what you need. So for instance if you have a 4 ohm DVC (each coil being 4 ohms), you can wire them in series for an 8 ohm load or in parallel for a 2...

    GEN 3 2006 Rims

    I don't think it probably matters that much, but are you sure they were even modified? The stock rims were polished aluminum with a clear coat over it I believe, which can go hazy over time and kind of looks like what is on your rim, but hard to say without seeing in person.

    GEN 3 2006 AC Heat Controls

    I would think earlier versions should be okay. Typically speaking the two letters at the end of a part number denote revisions, not necessarily new designs. It could be something like a material change, a vendor change, etc. but the vast majority of companies only revise parts if they are...

    Tracking viper

    I don't have any experience with a gen 5 on the track, but I think they are pretty well sorted from the factory as far as I'm aware. As for the "running costs", generally speaking I think the Viper is pretty good. Tires are going to be the worst of it and will vary a lot based on your driving...

    Stock rear diffuser colors?

    I've never seen a hood graphic like that before on a stock car, but I'm constantly learning new stuff about these cars, so it's entirely possible. Have you got any more info on the car like year or VIN? I was looking at the Viper registry to see if there was any mention of that as an option...

    Stock rear diffuser colors?

    That looks like a VCA edition car, though it's missing some of the extra graphics that go with it. There should have been a logo on the rocker just behind the front tire as well.

    Source for front end suspension/steering parts

    I've had moderate luck with finding stuff on RockAuto, but my car is a gen 3 and I know parts are starting to dry up for it even, so wouldn't surprise me if the selection is even more thin for the earlier gens. I've heard decent things about Meevotech parts, so that might be an option if they...

    Stock rear diffuser colors?

    Have you got pictures? I'm mostly just curious what all you mean, though I have an idea in my head. Kind of almost sounds like a VOI edition car or something.

    Rear Tire option?

    Pretty much every tire made in Viper sizes is considered "summer performance", though some put up with less than ideal weather better than others. Granted, some are certainly more aimed at performance than other as well (like the ACR tire, Nitto 555s I think, the old PS Cups, etc.).

    Volt gauge reading

    The regulator in the PCM isn't necessarily that bad of an idea. You get a lot better overall control of the system that way as it can take a lot more info into account. For instance, we have battery temp sensors in our cars that will limit the charge rate of the battery if it starts getting...

    Right passenger door gen 3 dodge viper

    I noticed some pretty good cracking in the plastic behind the metal cover on my door the last time I had the panel off doing some work. I think the plastic is built into the door panel itself, so guessing it's not available separately, but I could be wrong.

    Volt gauge reading

    Anything over 13 is ultimately still "good" in the sense that it's providing more voltage than the battery is using. As others have said though, I would check at the alternator and battery terminals themselves to confirm the real numbers (with a good meter I might add, I learned that lesson a...

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    Have you done any work on the heads? It almost looks like there are helicoils in the mounting holes on the head. Did the factory do that? I'm kind of wondering if one of them isn't all the way flush with the surface so when you tighten it down it's not going flat.

    New Gen III Owner

    You can also just replace the crossover pipe with the gen 4 tips as I understand it. I have read that both gens used the same part number for the muffler, though I've never actually confirmed that myself. Would address heat issues and change the sound a little bit if you didn't want to go with...

    94 Viper Paint Changed from Viper Red to Orange over the summer and tiny paint blisters everywhere

    My mom's 94 has the similar tiny blisters. I think it's just the fiberglass off-gassing over many many years, so as others have said, it's typical for the car. Annoying, but I don't think there's much you can do about it other than repaint if it bothers you a lot.

    Viper Gen 3 Motor mounts

    I have the Woodhouse poly mounts in my car and have been pretty happy with them. You will notice a little more buzz and vibration initially, but I think once they break in a bit you don't really notice it too much. The Viper isn't a luxury car to start with, so you already get a little more...

    New Gen III Owner

    Seeing as there is an O2 sensor right next to one of those holes, I'm thinking it would probably make sense to repair. I would think that could easily cause some tuning issues that you may be chasing later if you don't.

    Bought an SCT x3. Little to no support from SCT. Any tuners available can help out?

    Viper Specialty (Dan Lesser) would be a good place to start. I bought a cam from him and he worked to get a tune made up for my car after a day at the dyno and a lot of email logs back and forth. He might have "canned" tunes for typical mods handy.

    IR autocross

    Have any links? That's pretty cool and could help with diagnosing a lot of things. I remember Cat (as in Caterpillar) of all companies once made a phone that had a FLiR camera built into it.
