    Coolant type for older vipers?

    I use Dex-cool in my 96 after doing some research. However, shortly after getting mine 2 years ago, I overhauled the cooling system (new radiator, new hoses, new water pump, gaskets). During that process, i switched to Dexcool. See this thread...

    Transmission Help Please - 1999 RT/10

    I rebuilt my Viper T56 and my Corvett's T56. Its not really bad at all. Lots of info online, and if you need a pdf repair manual, I have some I can send you. You will need a press to press off and on the old and new bearings. I ordered my parts from here...

    question of viper value 1996

    It really sucks this car has been such a burden for you. At this point it might be a relief to dump it for a lower price just to be done with it. Good luck in whatever you decide.

    Dump it or restore it (96 RT/10 Special Edition)

    I say fix it and enjoy it, but I kind of enjoy working on stuff. If you plan on letting a shop tackle all the issues, it might not be worth it minus the paint.

    Anyone selling a very high mileage GTS soon

    Funny you mention the E60 m5. I took the plunge on one last year for the wife's second car. 2006 with 76k miles. I would not have it as my only car, or a daily driver. My advice on them would be to find a well sorted one and it shouldn't trouble you too much. The one we got we paid a little bit...

    question of viper value 1996

    I have a 96 with 91k I bought in 2018 for $29K. Had 87K when I bought it. I thought it was a steal to find a B/W GTS under 30. I specifically was looking for a higher mile, "fixer-upper" deal. I wanted one I could drive and not worry about ruining the value of. If I were to try and sell mine, I...

    ThatDudeinBlue reviewed my Viper

    Pretty cool there. He has some really nice things to say about the car. I like his stuff for the most part.

    Gen II power steering pulley.

    FYI Here is the bracket I got from Roe. I didn't find one on Rockauto. https://www.roeracing.com/product/billet-aluminum-power-steering-bracket-metal-pulley-96-02-gts-rt10/

    Gen II power steering pulley.

    I agree, Got my billet bracket from Roe Racing for about $80 after one of my Power steering bolts seized and broke off during timing cover gasket replacement. I did not get the pulley with it, however. Another thing to note, the PS high pressure hose in OP's original picture doesn't seem to be...

    Aftermarket Radio Installation

    I could not find any kind of radio adapter when I did my 96 GTS. I bypassed the factory amp and ran new wires from the head unit to the 4 speakers. Then using the diagram from the old radio, I spliced in the rest. Not super hard, but can be intimidating.

    1996 White Stripe End Point

    This is what Mine looks like as well. Mine was really scratched up from previous owner, so I did this same thing.

    My Viper sprung a leak!

    Sounds like either the water pump gasket or the timing cover gasket. I had to do this in mine earlier this year. Its involved but not hard. I would NOT go back with the paper Mopar OEM gaskets. Spring for Cometic that are aluminum cored. Good luck.

    Viper pricing

    I was seeing this as well, and was getting frustrated. I always pictured the Viper as the attainable dream car. I stuck to my budget, but it took me almost 2 years of looking at least weekly to find the Viper for me. Since I bought mine last year, prices have gone up even more. No way I could...

    1993 RT 10 Transmission oil

    So after I rebuilt my Daily Driver C5's t56 I went with Pennzoil Syncromesh, Almost 40,000 miles later everything is still great. After having to rebuild the T56 in the Viper shortly after buying it, I went with Syncromesh after the rebuild. Being that it is doing well in the C5, I have no fear...

    Cup Holder for a Gen 2

    So just wanted to share. I have a C5 and have one of these in it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It looked like it would fit in the Viper with a little modification so I bought another one and trimed it to fit. Seems to work really well, and doesn't' require drilling or...

    Rear Toe link end same as front Tie Rod?

    Ok so I installed these today. Here's what I did. You will need a 1 5/16 open ended wrench to loosen the old tie rods. Here's what I ordered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2-INNER-TIE-ROD-END-SET-FORD-DODGE-VIPER-1992-2002/231072021585?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649 A...

    Motor Oil

    From the research I've done, 0W40 is recommended for later Gen Vipers, and is approved for use in Gen 1 and 2. I made the switch after reading up on that. 10W30 will prob work just fine. I liked the additive package in the European formula 0W40 Mobile 1 Regular changes is way more important...

    Windshield Wipers Sword-fight

    Dumb question I know, but is there a difference in the wiping pattern between year models? On my 96 GTS, the driver side wipes 2 times more often than the passenger. They don't contact each other, they just don't perform according to the video you posted, and the video of Doug Demuro's 97 GTS...

    Rear Toe link end same as front Tie Rod?

    So after finding out the front tie rods fit the back, I'm thinking the toe link is nothing more than the front steering link, with the screw end screwed into a brace instead of the steering rack. Viper part, with boot covering joint Steering link assembly. The brace is simply a steel rod...

    Rear Toe link end same as front Tie Rod?

    So I can confirm, the front tie rods and the rear toe link tie rod ends are the same.

    0W-40 Mobile 1 is pretty easy to find and not too pricey. Its what I use in my 96.
