    Crank, no spark, no fuel

    Why would you be fighting your insurance company over this? That's like saying my tires wore out so I want insurance to cover it????

    Price opinions: 2000 RT/10 Paxton

    FWIW a few years ago I paid $55k for an 01 rt/10 w/ 30k and a forged engine, paxton, bunch of supporting mods like fuel (which turned out to be no good and then had to sink another $10k in to it to fix it up) and CCWs I generally avoid heavily modified cars because they never seem to be done...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    I wonder if Mopar filters are becoming NLA. I tried to order filters for my Vipers and was told by multiple dealers 5037836 (gen2) - NLA 5038041 (gen 4/5) - 45-60 day lead time I bought the last of Rock Auto's supply of Gen2 filters. Hopefully the dealerships are wrong about it being NLA and...

    Coolant Flush Gen V

    Way too much over-thinking here. *open coolant reservoir and drain radiator *fill coolant reservoir (buy 4 jugs of Zerex G05 pre-mixed ... gen 4/5 use HOAT) *start it up and let it run for like 20 seconds, re-filling reservoir until it stops sucking it in *restart and let it idle until...

    Anyone have Oil Filters??

    The Mopar one says 'Viper' on it, therefore it has to be superior by default

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

    Seems easier to just buy the RSI's custom hat double pump drop-in solution :) But I did enjoy the snake artwork on the whiteboard in the video ... 10/10 sneks for that

    Short shifter options these days?

    I installed an IPSCO on my 01 a few years ago .. fantastic shifter, 10/10. Easy install, good short shift feel.

    Why did ACRs never have special engines?

    I've always wondered why ACR Vipers never had special engines over base Vipers (e.g., C6 Z06 had a larger engine than a regular C6, C6 ZR1 had a supercharger, etc.)? Sure they had their fancy stickers and suspension bits, but why didn't Dodge do anything with the engine? Was it just a case of...

    Gen 3 tuner near VA

    I was satisfied with my remote tune with Torrie (Unleashed Performance) on my Gen 2 Viper - it came with a VEC that was causing insane drivability issues; installed a custom 3-bar map tune and HPT and his remote tune was very close after 2-3 driving passes (did final cleanup on the dyno, but it...

    New alternator from Amazon was $95 and came the next day. Was an exact fit.

    hopefully it lasts ... there's a difference between 'fits' and 'works reliability' .... it looks like Rock Auto though has stock on remand'd Densos.

    Mild overheating problem Please Help

    Maybe you'll get lucky and it's just a case of old fluid .... on my mustang my pump started to make a horrific whining you could hear a block away and it was very difficult to steer. I figured either my pump or rack was dying. I changed out the fluid and it all went away and 100,000 miles...

    Negative battery cable disconnect

    Everybody keeps saying this is the "problem" with battery disconnects, but who cares? I usually leave mine connected for 2 weeks, then when i cycle the next car in throw my disconnect switch. When I come back 2-4 weeks later and power it back on, the car starts/idles/drives the same as when I...

    Anyone used HP Tuners on a gen 3?

    if you're going to do headers on any car you need a tune - i did a remote tune w/ Torrie on my gen 2 before getting it on the dyno and his remote tune was pretty close and only needed minor clean-up - https://unleashedtuning.com/

    Anyone used HP Tuners on a gen 3?

    I'm not sure if Gen 2 JTEC is different from Gen 3 JTEC, but on my Gen 2 I'm in the middle - some times HP Tuners work flawlessly (connects fine, reads fine, etc.) and half the time it just refuses to work and I have to shake it and keep trying over-and-over until it will randomly just decide to...

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

    I know some people on here daily their cars, but I wouldn't want to. I've got a Gen 2/4/5 and I would not want to daily any of them. Attracts too much attention and a pain to drive after a while. It's not for lack of balls - my daily is a heavily modified 04 cobra - but rather the...

    Gen II Wiring Harness Routing - Heat Damage

    That's how mine is as well You need to re-wrap it at a bare minimum - i highly recommend TESA PET cloth tape ... high abrasion resistance, high temp resistance, doesn't goo up. Very good wiring harness tape, I use it in all my builds...

    Amsoil Slip Lock

    Sounds like you trusted their drive a bajillion miles claim w/o an oil change claim? I've been using Amsoil for ~15yrs because I have 18 cars and I can buy all the oil weights I need from 1 vendor and have never had 1 issue, but I would never trust their mileage claims.

    Amsoil Slip Lock

    you may or may not need the slip lock - it comes wiht additive in it, but sometimes it's not enough (e.g., on a c5 z06 it's enough, on a c6 z06 it isn't enough). i always get paranoid about it when I use the Amsoil versus OEM so I buy it and put in a squeeze or two anyways, but generally I try...

    Is this a safe mounting location in the trunk?

    the gas tank sits up against the back panel - in this picture the gas tank would basically sit anywhere you see the silver cushion pad https://www.reddit.com/r/projectcar/comments/bzkctt/fuel_pump_swap_viper_rt_i_had_to_cut_a_massive/ if you arn't too far to the right you're probably okay, but...

    Negative battery cable disconnect

    You need to specify what type of end as there are several different connection methods. I ordered pre-made from this website since I didn't feel like buying the tools to crimp side-post terminals. They call it 'type D' https://ceautoelectricsupply.com/custom-cable-builder/ Then the other end...

    Negative battery cable disconnect

    I would go 2ga minimum even though the factory used 4ga You turn the car on and drive it. If you notice a difference with how the car drives just because you cleared its adaptive memory your tune is ******.
