    childhood dream - '96 GTS.. with some issues?

    I have seen occasional reference to these cars having straight cut gears before 2000. No clue if that is true but mine also sounds like it has straight cut gears especially in 5th and 6th.

    Getting the viper itch…

    I think it’s a pretty reasonable price range. That’s about what I paid for mine two years ago

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    Hose going down still makes an F'n mess. Ask me how I know. I have pretty extensive experience with pump issues on my 68 mustang that has one of the worst power steering designs ever. I burned up three pumps before going to an overflow setup. I find PS fluid expands and contracts quite a bit...

    Power Steering Cap Fix

    I think you'd want it to function more like a coolant overflow reservoir - such that when the fluid gets hot and expands, it dumps into the reservoir, but then when the fluid cools back down, it contracts and creates a vacuum which ***** the fluid in the reservoir back into the pump to keep it...

    Update – Identifying parts by Mopar OE number

    Bruce, I and (many others I’m sure) have copies of the parts manuals for these cars. Do you think it would be helpful to post those here?

    Gen 1 oil catch can

    Yes pretty much. i Am still using the ports on the front of the valve covers though.

    Gen 1 oil catch can

    I have an evil energy catch can also. They actually make pretty good aluminum parts including AN fittings, for the price.

    Gen 1 oil catch can

    I'm doing the same basic thing dean is on my Gen 2. With a couple minor differences. I am running the Gen 3 intake, so I'm using an adapter in the spot the Gen 3 map sensor would normally mount to provide intake vacuum. I ditched the crossover between the valve covers. The driver valve cover...

    Fuel Pump needed or Information on aftermarket fuel pump 97 GTS

    Racetronix has been very difficult to order from to ship to the US. But they truly are the only ones making a direct drop in pump. I had to order through a local race shop to get them to sell to me.

    DODGE VIPER 2002 GTS-ACR-RT/10 NOS OWNER MANUALS SET

    Whoever bought these would be really cool to upload a pic of that ACR plus document. The ACR plus package is not documented at all and I'm trying to put together some resources on it.

    You guys are going to hate me but…

    Damn that car got jacked up to bend the frame like that. The frame was engineered to crumple in front of the front suspension so you could just chop off the damaged section and weld a new one on without throwing off suspension setup or anything major. It was actually a service procedure. I think...

    Advice on Engine Build Gen 2

    If you're saying you're letting those go I'd be very interested. I'll send you a PM.

    97 GTS

    You might have to wait until fall but you’ll be able to find a clean title car 30k-50k miles or so for your price range. These cars have been going on a 10% off sale in the fall for the past 2 years it seems.

    Plate for center air vent?

    Does anyone sell a plate for the center air vent to mount a gauge or lcd in? Or have a 3d print file or a scan of the area I could make a file from? Have kind of a complex setup going on but the bottom line is I want to mount a 16x2 lcd in place of the center air vent. The lcd will display...

    Passenger cylinders not firing correctly, right cat glowing after 2 mins

    The cars run a pretty primitive malfunction detection system but being emissions related I'd think it should have registered. Maybe the export cars got a different program or computer. They do recommend replacing O2 sensors in pairs for this very reason. I'd swap in 2 oem sensors when you have...

    Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026

    I would disagree that there are too many of these cars for them to appreciate in price. However, I totally agree that the cost of parts is a major impact on price. To both these points, see the MKIV Supra market and the air cooled Porsche market.

    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    Pictures are still forthcoming. It has been in the single digits all week, not very conducive to working in my uninsulated garage.

    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    I don't think this is what you're saying, but just so anyone reading this in the future isn't confused, I agree with you that normally a pretty small wire can be used with an FPDM system but there is no FPDM on the Gen 2. You're looking at the complete Gen 2 fuel pump control circuit in the...

    Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026

    Yeah the Gen 3 harness and electronics are light years ahead of the gen 2. The harness staying with the engine is a super cool feature. I didn't know about that. The gen 2 may actually do the same thing now that I think of it. I believe it just connects at the rear via two large connectors. I...

    Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026

    I think the Gen 2 GTS is underpriced compared to its contemporaries like the MK4 supra and Porsche of that era. That said, I think that entire category of cars is overpriced. However, with an average Gen 2 viper trading for around $60k, I'm not sure you find any car that blends style and...

    850 HP on a Single Viper Fuel Pump - Installation Outline

    Resurrecting this thread to update it with some info on wiring for a voltage booster. For the booster I went with the JMS PG2000GM. This is the GM version of their universal fuel pump voltage booster (more on why GM version below). For the fuel pump I used the Racetronix 340LPH pump that Dean...

    Hagerty: 5 Cars Taking Losses to Start 2026

    Just correcting from the Covid hype market. If you read it, average priced cars didn’t change. The loss was from the high end cars dropping.

    Oil Pan Mystery

    This was the top plate on mine. still had the factory gasket so I don't think it had ever been opened up before. Note all the oil just sitting on the top plate even after dropping the pan. Terrible design for oil return. It's getting replaced with the Ipsco top tray and gates. Combined...
