    Gen 2 headlamp/fog lamp switch

    Thank you for the very illuminating background! (Pun intended) As with many electrical parts, just because it looks the same and fits the hole and plug, doesn't guarantee full and proper operation. Perhaps most variants of the Ford part could be used in a pinch to get a Viper safely down the...

    $171 wiper refill?

    Solid rivets, or proper selection of AN fasteners would work for that.

    DIY 650+whp on e85/track ready budget fuel module

    During Canada's insane COVID shutdown, my car was DEAD. I called and called and pleaded to get a pump back-channeled to me. Once they agreed, I doubled the order so I'd never have to go begging again.

    What really limits rev capability on these cars?

    Here's a quick summary thread from Gen 3 Forum. https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/rpm-limit.679138/ There's a lot more backstory on this build. For the Gen 1 and 2 models, the mechanical rev limit can be raised substantially, along with the fuel cutoff. However, the fundamental issue is the...

    DIY 650+whp on e85/track ready budget fuel module

    There's room for a GSS style pump by trimming 1 or 2 spider legs and zip-tying it secure. Connect the 2 with Y fitting and go out with AN8 to a new pass through in place of the OE reg. The twin pumps will demand more wire gauge on all the feeds.

    DIY 650+whp on e85/track ready budget fuel module

    The Racetronix 340 Jet is not E85 rated, but the 255 is. Try NOT to cut any window in the stock bucket, use a higher flow Jet in the stock position and add another demand-driven pump in the sealed bucket. Go with a modded reg outlet with external FPR and return.

    Short shifter options these days?

    The stock shifter is smoother and has more leverage. Short throw shifter moves the fulcrum point up. Or, you can move the knob down and get more fork movement per inch of throw with higher effort. I've tested several intermediate shaft lengths and went with mid-length and stock knob on the IPSCO...

    1997 RT10 ASD Relay Fuel pump Relay and fuse location?

    ^^True^^ My car went deadstick at COTA one day between 10 and 11. Flat-towed back to the paddock and discovered the relay laying on the trunk floor by the amp. Plugged it back in firmly and all good. Must have pounded the apex curbs a bit too hard.

    Radiator fan upgrade.

    These engines were designed to run right around 200F in light duty and it is well within their design envelope to run up into the 230's on hot days with heavy loading.

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I have owned 2 Vipers since new and used NAPA Gold and WIX filters for a long time. I track my street car far more than most anyone with Mobil 1 15W-50 exclusively. I sample once a year at oil change and evaluate the results. I have gone 3-4 months between starts without worry about starvation...

    Stupid question about water pump

    There are 2 different impeller hub diameters - 12mm and 5/8". Somewhere between '98 and '99 is where they got bigger. Here's what the innards look like:

    Stupid question about water pump

    My experience is that the seal ages out LONG BEFORE the bearings do. I haven't found a vendor for the seals by themselves, or the bearing/seal cartridge.

    Looking for a gen 2 water pump.

    You are part-way there by landing here. Do some thread searching. There are 2 shaft sizes to choose from. The treads will help you choose wisely.

    Driver window not working

    As a very temporary stopgap attempt, you can try squeezing/jiggling the bellows between the foot box and door while operating the switch. It may get you a few cycles.

    98 GTS Rear Wheel - Looking for a like new rear wheel or someone that repair mine that has curb rash.

    You should find a wheel repair shop to smooth out the rash and re-clear the damaged one. Couple hundred bucks max and 1-2 weeks.

    Fuel pump/module question

    Then you're plumb out of gas. You put a few gallons in, cycle the key on/off several times to prime the pump and injector rails, then fire it up.

    Fuel pump/module question

    You are correct. Have you read the 850 hp sticky thread at the top of this sub-forum?

    Fuel pump/module question

    It's the center venturi section of the pump that extends below the bucket and draws from the tank. As long as there's 1-2" of fuel in the tank, it will prime.
