    2006 with 17K miles won't go into reverse

    Rear O2 wiring is damaged, very common on Gen-3 Belanger setups due to the sensor placement. Lockout and skipshift are powered off the same circuit.

    Something is not right.

    Starter turning over but won't start.

    This screams fried PCM if the fuel pump is not cycling. Jump starting, jump boxes, and old battery chargers are the #1 cause of fried PCM's, especially on Gen-1/2 applications. If you need additional assistance, just shoot me an e-mail. [email protected]

    Gen III to Gen IV Engine Build

    Thank you again Tom, it is still one of my favorite builds to date! This kind of a result is what we go for. It is not just about how much power a build makes or how it looks; it is about the whole package. If it doesn't drive well, have bulletproof reliability, and require virtually no...

    What you guys think 2004 vs 2009 srt10?

    Not so much. Fewer camshaft & control options, still a pain when it comes to Drive By Wire on a VENOM controller, etc. Definitely a lot better than it was, but still not quite as easy.

    What you guys think 2004 vs 2009 srt10?

    This will answer it best: Planning to stay stock? Buy the Gen-4. Planning to have Mod Fever? Buy the Gen-3. For ~20K, you can turn a Gen-3 into a 725HP Gen-4 look-alike that also has a Gen-4 transmission and rear end. Best of all worlds- more power, no mod hassles, sounds better, and same...

    TPSM reset at home?

    I would be amazed if that product actually worked properly beyond scanning/activation of the sensor... programming the car, is another story. I have yet to hear from anyone using a system other than the factory DRB-3 for sensor programming on the car itself. Hell, even the Chrysler DRB3 emulator...

    Gen 5 vs Gen 4 engine

    Yes they will, but will require crank balancing.

    SCT tuner or upgraded PCM

    To answer your question: Technically, you have the same capabilities, and can end up with the same file via Direct Fash or via SCT. However, the choice depends on the application more than anything. If you are looking for basic changes, are going to tune the vehicle once, or are building a...

    Power steering troubles

    There is no special tool for the fitting removal. The tool that I suspect Viper X is referring to is the Oil Cooler Line disconnect tool, which wont help you here. The PS lines are blind-lock type, and require machining to remove without chancing any damage to the line itself or the original...

    Thanks for the catch- but I think you inadvertently linked a YouTube video to my username, haha.

    Well, I just so happen to have another ;)

    1999 Gts Gen 4 or 5 Motor & dash swap. Questions

    Hello Joe, What you are looking to accomplish is extremely, and I mean- extremely difficult, expensive, and time consuming. As pointed out above, the engine management, wiring, and electronics are nowhere near even remotely compatible between those generations. You would be 15-25K into engine...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    And the above few posts... are exactly what BM1 was alluding to. "How dare you criticize what we are doing, we did it all RIGHT!" Oh yeah? Then why isn't it WORKING? The answers are obvious to anyone who can pull their head out of Dodges ass long enough to take a breath. The current Viper has...

    Is it just me or does activity in the Viper world seem low?

    Hey Jason, I think its a number of things. For one, many of the big-dollar guys have moved to Lambo, and due to the "timing", the Viper crowd was sitting in a niche that got whacked pretty hard by the economy hit in 2008. Beyond that, the aftermarket has largely moved on to other makes, Dodge...

    VPA Announcement

    Bob, I have thought out my suggestion plenty. You are really stretching here, and that's putting it mildly. Last I checked, the VPA was still functional up until this, and could have handled anything related to what I am talking about. The VPA should have an inventory list. If they don't...

    VPA Announcement

    Bob, that answer should be glaringly obvious. A simple email to all of the past and present vendors about liquidation with an inventory list broken down into groups or packages would have gotten the job done as well, in a very fair manner. Oddball items to be packaged by category as not to leave...

    VPA Announcement

    Camfab and Frank basically read my mind on all counts. VSP got shafted just as much as the next guy when the VPA was formed. Where was our opportunity to buy up any part of the VPA? I cannot say I blame Jon or Scharf for doing what they did, at the end of the day thats their business model...

    It was a strange experience.

    I have long debated about offering an upgrade package for the Gen-2/3 cars to add cruise control; true OEM cruise control. Due to our work on discontinued ECU reproduction, we can do it properly. That said, I just don't know if there is a market for it, as the Viper guys seem stubborn on this...

    Engine swap ideas

    Any of the resto-mods short of bone-stock Gen-2 based are better suited to a full aftermarket computer. The Rolls above is using a Pectel Standalone configuration, and it contains quite a bit of capability that it technically isn't utilizing, ha. For something Gen-2 basic, there is an off the...

    Sourcing Obsolete Parts For Gen I and Gen II Vipers

    With regard to PCM repairs, we have had many, many, many supposedly repaired PCMs come back through here as cores towards replacements. Most of these places dont have the capability or information to do repairs, and just take your money for the diagnosis and walk away.. usually after ruining the...
