    AMSOIL vs MOPAR (Transmission Fluid)

    What are your thoughts on the non-synthetic ATF?

    AMSOIL vs MOPAR (Transmission Fluid)

    For the most part, this will serve you well, but there are times when there are legitimate reasons to stray from the owner's manual recommendations. The best examples I can think of are with engine and differential oils, specifically for a Gen 4. Engine Oil Below is a screen capture from a...

    Alright... come on now with the ridiculous word censoring!

    S-C-A-T As in, **** Pack Challenger. B-A-N-G As in, **** for the buck.

    Alright... come on now with the ridiculous word censoring!

    There's another Viper forum out there that will let you do exactly that. Give it a whirl, and let us know how you like it.

    Door Hinge Maintenance (Gen 3 & 4)

    Not sure - I bought my car used with <10k miles on it back in 2011, and it was at least another 9-10 years before I started noticing any creaking. A lot of it has to do with the environmental conditions and how the car gets used - mine is more of a weekend toy that spends most of its time in a...

    Door Hinge Maintenance (Gen 3 & 4)

    Squeaky, creaky door hinges? This is a fairly common issue with Gen 3/4/5 Vipers...I've certainly noted it from time to time with my own, but I never really took the time to figure out why. I had tried spraying the part of the hinge I could see with the door open, but it never seemed to fix the...

    Help with power window

    I have no idea how everything is wired for the window motors...maybe @Steve-Indy can help point you in the right direction for trouble shooting. Random idea: @pokeyl (same user name on the other forum) was having an issue with one of his regulators on his Gen 3 (same basic design). This was his...

    Clutch or something else??

    Unless I’m mistaken, his ‘04 does not have a MAF sensor.

    Stock Amplifier question on 06 SRT

    Makes for a nice winter time project around here when there's nothing else to do except shovel snow.

    Front Belly Pan Install hardware help

    Auveco also appears to be a company that is a business-to-business type of outfit, but if you can find something that looks like it would work on their website, you can simply search for that part number along with "Auveco" in Google and usually come up with quite a few distributors that deal in...

    Front Belly Pan Install hardware help

    Please let us know how it turns out, and what it actually takes to get the job done. I'm essentially flying blind by referencing what I know of my Gen 4 and what I can find online...that's no replacement for the ground truth though. Two other random things that may or may not matter: 1...

    Stock Amplifier question on 06 SRT

    Not what you asked for, but there are some pics in this thread that will give you an idea of what most Double DIN head unit installs look like: https://www.viperclub.org/vca/threads/gen-3-4-double-din-head-unit-diy.678508/

    Front Belly Pan Install hardware help

    Apparently the correct term for those clips is "U-nuts". A quick Google search netted me the following info: Mopar Part # 00152493 Available here for $5.50 for 4 clips: https://www.viperpartsrackamerica.com/index.php/products/2003-2013-dodge-viper-srt10-u-nut-00152493 It's apparently a...

    2016 SRT - Suspension Options

    Yeah, I'm probably past due for a rebuild, but they still seem to be working quite well, which is why I haven't bothered. I have 500/800 lb/in front/rear spring rates. If you do get yours rebuilt, you can probably also get them re-valved for lighter springs, but I'd have no idea what...

    Front Belly Pan Install hardware help

    You'll need a bunch of screws. I'm not sure if the parts numbers and quantities I'll list below are 100% accurate, but I came across some of this info in a parts manual I downloaded last year from the Roe Racing website (which now looks like is no longer available). There are 4 larger holes -...

    (New Here)2006 Viper - What should be my first modifications?

    I sent you a lot more info in a PM, but I've been happy with my newly acquired Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02s: Ordered from @JonB - showed up as pictured above 22 hours and 43 minutes later. Michelin also makes a solid tire that I wouldn't hesitate to run on my mostly street driven...

    Where to purchase a can tune for my 2014 Viper?

    What I linked above is designed for exactly that.

    (New Here)2006 Viper - What should be my first modifications?

    Definitely a good idea - old tires are a sure fire way to park your new toy in a ditch. New tires won't be cheap, but neither are Vipers these days.

    2016 SRT - Suspension Options

    You'll certainly buy yourself more adjustability, but it may not be in a range that matters to you for overall comfort on the street. There are two additional thing you can adjust with the 2-ways over the 1-ways: 1. Compression 2. Canister pressures For comfort (street driving), I generally...

    (New Here)2006 Viper - What should be my first modifications?

    New tires, unless they’ve been replaced within the past couple years.

    MCS (started by a group of guys that used to work for Moton), Moton, Ohlins, and Penske come to mind.

    2008 Gen IV Total speaker Upgrade.

    The previous owner of my car installed aftermarket component speakers (Dynaudio Esotec 242) in the doors/dash, and a 10" sub (Image Dynamics ID10) in the hatch. It was a weird kludged together setup where the factory amp was still installed under the passenger seat, but completely bypassed, and...

    2016 SRT - Suspension Options

    If it was my car, I'd look closely at MCS 1-way (rebound only) adjustable shocks with something like 500 lbs/in front and 800 lbs/in rear spring rates. I've been running MCS 2-way (compression + rebound) adjustable shocks for ~9 years on my '08, and I've been quite pleased with them, but it was...
