    Broken fan - What Now

    This sounds like the way to go to me, only the 4 worthwhile comments will be buried as replies to other comments.

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    I was always under the impression that as long as a tube of RTV sealant was factory sealed/unopened, it was still good. It was an eye opening experience for sure...hopefully I can keep others from making the same mistake.

    Sound System & Horn not operational?

    Could it be a clock spring issue? I'd suspect more things wouldn't be working right if that was the issue, but it is an important part of the circuit.

    Steering Column Cover #

    Before you replace it, try Goo Gone or Goof Off to remove the sticky stuff. This is a commonly reported issue with older Gen Vipers - it's the plasticizers leeching out of the material.

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    Lesson 2 - Check the Dates Moving forward, I knew two things for certain: 1. I was not going to be putting 3.73s back in my Viper 2. I wanted to make sure nothing else broke inside the case when I sheared off the OS Giken output stub So with a grand total of 523 miles since its last rebuild...

    P2610 Code

    P2601 or P2610? I've not encountered P2601, but P2610 will get thrown if you either disconnect the battery for too long or if the battery is dead. P2610 should clear on its own after a few drives. If it is P2601, you'll need to provide more details...all mods to the car, and what the car is...

    Looking for the original owner of my 2009 ACR

    I'd guess 305s or 315s...definitely beefy.

    2010 viper srt pcm pinn out?

    @MoparMap This thread should probably be moved to the Gen 3/4 section.

    2010 viper srt pcm pinn out?

    Website changed: https://connectorrepairkit.mopar.com/ On the drop downs, select 2009 for the year, and then pick ZB:Viper for the platform. 2010 doesn't have the Viper for some reason, but they should be the same. The PCM pin-outs are "Module-Powertrain Control" C1 through C4.

    D-y-k-e-s, as in another common name for diagonal side cutting pliers.

    differential of my 97

    I’ll share my own experience with the service manual, but keep in mind that the electronic version I currently have in my possession may be quite different from what you received for Christmas. The 2010 service manual I was gifted a few years back from another Viper owner has a pretty...

    This site currently isn't working (hopefully temporary), but outside of the electrical service manual, it's as good as you are going to find: http://connectors.dcctools.com/home.htm

    Production run 4778637AB from china

    The data in this thread is all over the place, so let's clarify. You are selling Gen 2 idle air control (IAC) valves, part number 4778637AB. The Gen 3 idle air control valve is still available (part number 05245352AC), but will not work in a Gen 2, hence why you had the Gen 2 IAC valves...

    differential of my 97

    If you do the work yourself, I'll warn you in advance that it is time intensive, and requires some specialty tools that you may or may not already have on hand. Due to the time and effort required, I would recommend replacing all bearings and seals while you are in there. You'll be extremely...

    Hearing a alert tone ding when in 1st gear before shifting

    Do any messages pop up in the odometer? From experience, a low tire pressure warning will make a chime, but it'll also pop up a low/flat tire warning in the odometer. TPMS light may or may not turn on depending on whether or not the bulb has burned out.

    Info Wanted: Metal paint samples from manufacturer 1991 & 1992 Has anyone seen this before?

    You state that you are not looking to sell them, but the rest of your posts (and your join date) suggests otherwise. Just be aware that it may raise flags for some - it certainly does for me, but others probably don't care. The materials themselves aren't valuable, but the story may very well...

    Big jugs of Mobil1 15W-50 at Wal-Mart

    It's a slightly longer drive for you to Ohio, but my local Walmart also has big jugs. Of Mobil 1 15w50 that is.

    Transmission Repair Questions

    Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. Or in this case, your Viper because of the transmission. But I also wouldn't recommend blindly throwing parts and labor at a potentially complex problem like this one without thoroughly understanding the underlying cause. The transmission case...

    Running rough after a jump start

    Same. Park it, put it on a tender, and leave it be. Having personally witnessed what salt can do to a frame (my daily driven truck), I always err on the side of caution when it comes to getting it out to play from December through about March, sometimes later.

    2008 SRT-10 Coupe - 10 Second Quarter Mile Passes

    Thanks! One of the most common questions I received at the track was "does it have traction (or launch) control?" My snarky response was always "yeah, my right foot." I think it was generally understood that Vipers can be a handful, and most had respect for the fact that I was the biggest...

    2008 SRT-10 Coupe - 10 Second Quarter Mile Passes

    The gentleman that drove the Chevy truck was one of the track regulars - he was there every single time I managed to show up at a Thursday night test and tune. He gave me many pointers over the years, and is who helped me work through the issues I was having when I switched from a Mickey...

    Both windows making a loud sound when lowered

    Sounds like a regulator issue to me. My first stop would be the PowerWindowRepair.com folks to see if they can repair what you have. The regulators are poorly designed, and have been a failure point for most Vipers from 2003-2017. Someone many years ago was able to retrofit a totally...

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    Lesson 1 - 3.73s Were Not Ideal For Me I originally chose 3.73 gears for drag racing. I’d been using 3.55s with a 26” tire (Hoosier 335/30-18 DR2) for a few years, and I always felt like the car was just starting to pull really hard after I went through the traps in the quarter mile (trap speeds...

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    I learned many lessons during my first differential rebuild, and I continued to learn many lessons afterward. I'll do my best to capture these in my next few posts.
