    Negative battery cable disconnect

    yes it's a gigantic pain in the ass that's why I put a cut off switch in the trunk (left side, about half-way between the tail-light and the amplifier) ... then just open trunk, flip switch, done :) it takes longer to get to the battery than it does to put in a cut-off switch ... the hardest...

    Negative battery cable disconnect

    install a battery cut-off switch in the trunk while you're there - now you can disconnect the negative without having to go through the typical BS of wheel removal https://www.summitracing.com/parts/fla-fr1003

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

    Didn't 2 or 3 people just recently make headlight molds and you can buy new headlights for a few hundred bucks now? Radiator hoses can be replaced with stainless steel hard pipes - the ones RSI carries are direct fit. Radiators are easy to source - Viper Store carries them, as does RSI...

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

    if you arn't going to do any engine work buy a year with a 708 cam and forged internals ... that will make you feel like a real man and drop p-a-n-t-i-e-s

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

    The downside is you don't get a 708 cam. Granted a custom ground cam will be better than a 708, but most people arn't going to want to dick around with a cam swap.

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

    It's only a big deal if you have a v-a-g-i-n-a Otherwise there are far more important things, like a 708 cam.

    Old Dexron II

    Doesn't ATF "expire" (i.e., breakdown) like Oil? You wouldn't use 10 year old oil.

    Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?

    I've only had a few drives with it but it feels really good so far.

    MAF sensor connector

    Is it just the locking clip that's broken? If so for piece of mind you could zip-tie tie. Or just leave it - I broke the stupid clip on the MAF on my z06 and left it .... hasn't been a problem in almost 20yrs

    Paxton wheel hop

    yes, replaced them 2yrs ago w/ Ipsco parts agreed; I don't drive my cars hard so it's not much of an issue per say, moreover a 'i wonder if others experience this and what their solution was'. I'll try lowering tire pressure - only reason I set it there is with 18 cars I try to standardize...

    Paxton wheel hop

    pilot sports; 345/19; around 33psi; less than 1 year old but if it were a tire issue wouldn't I just lose traction and smoke the tires? i would describe this as a very sharp bucking, like the back-end is jerking back and forth violently and going to snap I've never experienced wheel hop...

    Paxton wheel hop

    I also have a modified (heads, cam, intake ... all n/a stuff, no f/i stuff) 2008 and 2017 and neither of them wheel hop - if I stab the throttle it just goes (albeit with some wiggling). Part of me wonders if this is something mechanical like wheel hop because of how hard the paxton hits in...

    Paxton wheel hop

    If I'm in 2nd or 3rd around 3,000 RPM (paxton, built engine, dual walbros, 85lb injectors, oversized intercooler, exhaust), if I roll on the throttle such that I'm only at WOT around 4,500 rpm the car drives fine. But if I floor it, I get an immediate violent bucking and have to immediately...

    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    Don't use regular worm drive clamps - they will bite into the silicone and could cause it to fail Only use fully lined worm drive clamps - https://www.aircraftspruce.ca/catalog/eppages/breezelinerhexscrews.php (actually better to use fully lined on all hoses, but it's a bare minimum on silicone)

    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    On new builds or when i've flushed the system and don't want to use OEM for whatever reason I use Prestone all vehicle pre-mixed green ... I've been using it for over 20yrs and 15 vehicles with no issues.

    Gen 1 Differential Fluid Change

    I was going to do the differential fluid on my Gen 2 shortly ... I don't recall seeing a drain plug on mine ... that's weird they would have given it to a Gen 1 and not gen 2 since drain plugs make the job so much easier.

    new to me 2000 GTS overheating within minutes.

    JB weld it back together? (sic) Actually, what do we do for water pumps? The last time I looked there was no stock of them and the only option was to send it to a Viper specialist like Havik or ViperStore to have it rebuilt.

    Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?

    I think I spent 5 or 6 hours reading every thread about T56s and transmission fluid at this point, lol I started getting frustrated when people talked about mixing ATF and two different types of gear oils so I just threw in the Amsoil GL4 75w90 transmission fluid and took it for a drive - felt...

    Amsoil 75w90 good for late model Gen2 transmissions?

    Is Amsoil 75w90 manual transmission/transaxle gear oil a good choice for a late-model (2001+) gen2 t56 transmission (with the syntorque sticker on it). It says GL-4 and Chrysler MS-9070; where I'm getting confused is there are some posts suggesting that Tremec at one point said to just run...

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    Just as follow up, I finally got around to driving the car. The new wiring makes a huge difference in the real world (i.e., not just idling and stabbing it with my multimeter). The needle on the volt gauge is solidly over the 14 hash mark and stays that way all through the drives. I've never...

    Another crank no start thread but with a twist

    gen 2 vipers don't have a clear flood mode (I'm guessing the crate engine ecu doesn't either). Or don't hold it to the floor, just stab the gas a bit to open the throttle body while cranking to see if it starts when adding air. basically just try starting it by adding more air to see if...

    Another crank no start thread but with a twist

    If you hold the gas pedal to the floor when cranking will it start? (i.e., add more air) 2yrs ago I re-tuned my 01. Worked perfectly fine. Then last year I went to start it and it would not start. Only crank crank crank, no fire. When I held the tbs opened then it would all of a sudden...

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    I believe I have a gen 2 fan, definitely not a gen 3 and probably not a gen 4 unless that's what the ViperStore sells. The reason I thought about upsizing the wire is because when I built my 65 cobra I originally ran a 6ga wire. That thing is as bare bones as possible, and when my radiator...

    5245322 PCV Grommet NLA / Substitute

    Unfortunately not anymore - intake's back on and that sucker isn't coming off - just have to remain a mystery for the time being. But can you post the ID of your pcv port hole for future reference.

    Upsize alternator wiring?

    Victory is mine! I ran a 2ga wire from the alternator to a 150 amp mega fuse, then to the starter stud. Upsized the alternator ground to 2ga. I pulled the factory 6ga wire out of the harness and ran it to a junction block incase i ever want to use it again for something (I was concerned about...
