    ‘Viper in the Sky’

    Incredible video shows just how rough the ‘Viper in the Sky’ looked when it was taken down from a Kentucky dealership sign https://supercarblondie.com/dodge-viper-in-the-sky-taken-down-from-kentucky-dealership-sign/ I never saw this before. Some of you may have, but if you haven't, check it out!

    Insurance Question

    I realize insurance for our Vipers has been discussed over the years, but prices seem to be changing rapidly. Hagerty raised my insurance by $300 from last year. No accidents, no tickets. I drive 2000 to 2500 miles annually. I have a $60,000 guaranteed value. Seventy percent of the cost is for...

    Question regarding Viper oil filter.

    I've ordered Viper oil filters many times online. This one looks different (image 4230). The information is on a label attached to the filter, not printed on the filter. Came in a box marked properly, but it's different. Box is marked 05037836ab -001.

    Expel Windshield Protective Film

    Does anyone have experience with Expel WPF? I have an appointment coming up to have my windshield and headlights covered. Also, paint correction and ceramic coating. Anything to be concerned about before I drop off my Viper?

    New Intermittent Whirring Sound - Clutch?

    I had a similar, soft intermittent whirring sound in September, and the shop replaced the belt, tensioner, and pulley. Now it's back. Very infrequent. This time I noticed that when I depress the clutch pedal it goes away. Thoughts?

    Coolant Leak Engine

    Looks like orange coolant is leaking. I see one drop on top of the heat shield and more below as shown in the photo. I'll have to take it for repairs. What can I expect to have done?

    Intermittent whirring sound

    I'm hearing a soft whirring (woo-woo-woo) when sitting at idle. I don't hear it when I give it a little gas while stopped, and I don't hear it while driving (could be due to road noise). It doesn't always happen. I'll stop at a light and hear the sound, then at the next light, I don't hear it...

    No low beams

    I had an evap purge solenoid installed at the shop, and the next day I discovered I have no low beams. High beams and fog lights work. Is it possible that the mechanic might have dislodged a wire while he was working under the car installing the new part, or is that unlikely?

    PO441 Pending & PO443 Codes

    My '02 Viper had a PO 441 code last year and I cleared it. It didn't come back on until now (about 1500 miles since). This time I got a PO441-P accompanied by a PO443. The car runs great. I cleared both codes, but I'm unsure whether to continue ignoring the issue or take it to a shop for repairs.

    V10 Dodge Viper v V8 Challenger: DRAG RACE

    I got some much-needed chuckles while watching these two Brits drag race a Gen 2 Viper against a Dodge Challenger. The video is 11 minutes long, but you can fast-forward to the races (3) if you prefer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUKJ3Y0X2jg&ab_channel=carwow

    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I've always used the OEM Viper oil filter (5037836AB) but I've been having difficulty finding them. When I do, they're running around $25 shipped, which seems overly expensive to me. Can someone recommend an alternate oil filter for Gen ll Vipers?

    Engine Cooling Fan Upgrade?

    Had a mechanic install a new condenser that I purchased from AC Auto Solutions (https://autoacsolutions.com/products/). He wasn't impressed with how it was made. Not being a mechanic I'm not sure exactly what he meant other than he thought it wasn't a "modern" style condenser considering it was...
