    Insurance Question

    Mine is with AAA. Premium is probably $2k per year but we have the most expensive insurance in the nation here in MI. And I don’t have the greatest driving record. So this is actually very cheap.

    Thoughts on removing buildup on gas cap? (Pic)

    So I think the stock cap is clearcoated over aluminum. So need to strip it, polish, and re clearcoat

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

    Agreed. I can’t stand spending money on tires. Especially when the old tires have great tread but are dry rotted. $25k on the engine? No problem. $1500 on tires, hmmmm.

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

    This is a stock forged piston from my 99 for reference

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

    That is not a stock forged piston. The stock forged piston has a very distinctive bullseye style mark in the middle. I’d venture a guess that it’s a cast piston with valve reliefs cut into it during previous engine work. no surprise it lost a chunk right where the valve relief was cut in, must...

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

    Buy a well maintained car, not a 0 miles car that hasn’t moved or had maintenance in 30 years, and it shouldn’t be a burden at all. I had to put tires on my car. Knew that when I bought it. The rest has been all elective stuff such as engine mods and suspension mods. Prior owner did...

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

    Fairly sure it was a hard cut off for 2000. I don’t think this was a scenario where leftover forged engines were put into 2000 model year cars. If the car was sold as a 2000, it had a creampuff engine. That’s my understanding. The switch had to do partially with emissions standards so I don’t...

    New from Hagerty: Viper Prices Are Falling

    Hagerty has been on this nonsense for a couple quarters now. Prices have been bracketed between $55k and $65k for two years now. Nothing crazy going on either way with pricing.

    Comprehensive Exhaust Video

    I would really like to see someone do a bundle of snakes, 180 degree header design on a viper V10. Not sure it's possible in the viper chassis but it would be in the truck or a swapped car.

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    Someone in this thread told me I didn’t need a resevoir and my cap was only overflowing because I had trans fluid in the system. I thought this was preposterous because I only pulled out clear fluid from the reservoir via vacuum pump. However, I just pulled my cooler during my engine rebuild...

    Bleeding slave after Clutch/ Slave install

    It’s a huge PITA. The system will self bleed if you pump the pedal a few hundred times. I hooked a vacuum pump to mine, set up a bottle to replenish the reservoir automatically, and pumped the pedal all at the same time. Still took 100 pumps or so to get a decent pedal.

    Advice on Engine Build Gen 2

    Just some thoughts after speaking to an engineer on the new GM LS6 small block and getting some details on 2 high rpm viper engine builds. I had an interesting conversation with one of the engineers that worked on the new GM small block a couple weeks ago right after it was publicly announced...

    Hey Dean what do you mean by no PCV valve?

    Gen 2 ACR water pump?

    I will say also that my cousin has been in the market for a Gen 2 ACR ever since I bought mine a couple years ago. He’s not afraid of doing some work to it. Can’t promise anything but if you want to send me some pics of it and what you want for it I’ll run it by him. No pressure though...

    Gen 2 ACR water pump?

    No experience buying/selling through him but he’s a very well known name in the viper world. I’d say just give him a call and ask him. He’s always been brutally honest with me.

    If I won the lottery...

    Yes, most estimates I saw had it at 800k to 1mil. Proof that you can't put a price on an irreplaceable piece of history.

    Gen 2 ACR water pump?

    I'd start with the easy stuff first. Make sure your temp sensor is reading correctly by using an IR temp gun on the block when running. Then I'd check the thermostat. Then water pump. I have to disagree that there is anything overly complex about the cooling system on these cars. The cooling...

    Havik has rebuilt pumps. What is “overheating” though?
