    How do I get a feel for a Viper before I commit to buying?

    I daily drove my 04 for the better part of 10 years and it still sees fairly regular duty today. In stock form they are a lot more livable than I think people would think, though the earlier ones are certainly a bit less refined. The general advice I give is that if you drive it like a normal...

    Amplifier wiring harness

    Glad all the work I did before might actually be useful, lol. I actually ended up putting a stock amp back into my car since I didn't really like the aftermarket setup I had going, which is what started it all. I just got the mating connectors as a fallback plan in case I couldn't find a stock...

    Amplifier wiring harness

    So I want to say it's these two connectors: https://apps.us.yazaki.com/ComponentCatalog/Component_Detail.aspx?SearchItemPN=7282562240 https://apps.us.yazaki.com/ComponentCatalog/Component_Detail.aspx?SearchItemPN=7282645360 But I can't verify that at the moment. This is just what I found...

    Amplifier wiring harness

    I actually did just this a little while ago. Someone hacked up my factory harness when they put in an aftermarket amp and I wanted to be able to go back to stock, so I got the connectors and terminals to put the factory ends back on and then hunted down the mating ones to be able to make an...

    Roe Throttle Body Butterfly Mod

    Very cool! I recently saw the ads and video reviews for the Carvera Air and have been tempted to one day try to dip my toe into the CNC game. I have been messing with my 3D printer for probably over a decade now, but never played with metal stuff before.

    SNEAKY PETE is missing his nostril

    Manufacturing limitation maybe? I could see scaling it down being an issue for the small emblem on the steering wheel vs the larger ones on the body. I'm not sure I ever would have noticed otherwise, but it is kind of interesting.

    6 cylinder Viper

    Oof, that's rough. Kind of like what SuperFastMatt did with his off-road Viper. I like watching the guy, but that series was a bit harder for me to get through. I just wish these people would start with rougher cars or salvage titles or something like that. Seeing them start with good...

    6 cylinder Viper

    I've seen the link several times, but I keep scrolling past it. Was there something wrong with the original engine to make him go down this path, or was it just for the fun of it? On the one hand, I'd rather see someone do an engine swap to keep an otherwise good car on the road if the...

    Looking for OEM Gen 3/4 mufflers

    My car has never actually had the crossover since I bought it. It's been through a lot of exhausts over the years though. Bought it with a set of Borla catbacks already installed, then went to M&M headers with no cats and the same Borla mufflers. Both of these made some noise, but it wasn't...

    Looking for OEM Gen 3/4 mufflers

    Picked up a set yesterday, thanks! Fingers crossed they'll get me what I'm looking for on volume.

    Is the suspension supposed to be this 'uneasy'?

    I thought I'd heard of people rebuilding the gen 3/4 stuff. The original manufacturer was suspension dynamics or something like that who I think are still around, but it might be prohibitively expensive compared to buying a nice set of single adjustables or something like that.

    P0202 code, injector tests good?

    Also possible the injector could just be dirty. Would test fine, but not flow well.

    Gen III Headlamp Lense Replacement - Viper Outlaw Purchased/Discussion

    I haven't taken the plunge yet. My passenger side light got damage when my tire picked up a chunk of concrete and rolled it around the inner fender and through the fog light access hole, hitting the back of the headlight along the way, so that light got replaced a few years back and looks...

    Looking to buy my first SRT10

    The Viper has some pretty stellar corrosion protection from the factory, at least from what I've seen driving mine in the midwest. I know I'm one of the crazy ones that will still drive mine in winter, at least when the roads are clear. I try to avoid getting a bunch of salt spray or anything...

    Modern Oils and Fuels Webinar Tonight

    The big issue I have with oil change intervals is that the metrics used for them really don't include enough information about how you use your car. Time and mileage both leave so much out about how oil gets used. I think a lot of people assume time means that oil has some kind of shelf life...

    Looking for OEM Gen 3/4 mufflers

    Anyone out there have some take off mufflers from a gen 3 or 4 they'd be willing to part with cheap? I don't need the full system, just the mufflers. I could probably even do without the tips, though that might be handy just in case the ones from my old Borla setup don't fit. I'm trying to...

    Need a Dodge contact for official document

    It sounds like it's the inspection place that has the problem though, not the dealer. It would be like taking a car to the highway patrol here that I bought out of state. They will inspect it to ensure it isn't stolen or stuff like that and one of the checks would be VIN numbers. Sounds like...

    Need a Dodge contact for official document

    Sounds like this is for Europe though, so they may be playing by different rules.

    What’s this?

    From the shape it kind of looks like a wind baffle that might hook to the roll hoops behind the seats, or somehow cover the convertible top when it's down. It's not like the ones I've seen before though, so hard to say. Most wind baffles are clear plastic pieces so you can see through them...

    To ABS, or to not ABS.... That is the Question.

    Tires are the name of the game. The Viper has a tremendous amount of mechanical grip built into the system, but only when everything is up to *****. What do you plan to do with the car? About the only time I've ever had ABS do anything for me is when I'm pushing it on the track. On the...

    Oil Temps

    Yeah, it seems a little odd that you'd have temp issues, though maybe the earlier years weren't quite as capable? I know I've thrashed my 04 around a track for 20 minute sessions in 90-100 degree temps and the oil and coolant temps hardly got over normal running values, maybe 220-230 at the...

    2013 Cluster wiring difference between US and Canada

    Do you mean no power at all or it just doesn't display anything? Most of the modern clusters are CAN based, so I think there's a decent chance that the signals between the two might not be compatible, even if all the pins lined up. You would hope that some of the generic stuff would be the...

    Looking for OEM PCM File – 1997 Viper 702AE

    Dan Lesser at Viper Specialty could probably help you out. I got a stock setup from him for my 04 as a backup in case I decided to go back to factory with my engine.

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I think what he might be getting at is that once hot, the oils tend to flow the same in the engine because of the pressure relief valve maybe? So whether you are running a 50 weight or a 20 weight oil, your hot oil pressure is usually going to be pretty similar once you get some rpm in the car...

    Engine rebuild options/advice

    Stock parts are probably going to be the most "efficient" pieces. That's part of the give and take with building for more power down the road. Forged stuff tends to run on the looser side because of the thermal expansion. Cast parts can hold tighter clearances through a larger temperature...
