I need a good mechanic or Viper tech in the Milwaukee area to install for a friend, the after-market IPSCO machined power steering pulley and bracket on a 97 GTS. Does anyone have a suggestion for such a person? Will need name and phone. Thanks

I am selling my 97 GTS on Craig's List and was concerned about giving out the VIN number to someone who has e-mailed me. Is there any risk in giving out the number? Have there been cases where someone has rebuilt a wreck using a stolen VIN?

Has anyone bought a clutch from buyclutch.com? Were you satisfied with the product? Was it an OE Luk clutch? Are these guys a legitimate company?

From the Audi site that I frequent, there is a group buy of the Stebel Compact Dual Air Horn. List is $35.95 and they will sell it for $30.95 if they get 10 orders. Here's the web-site...
I saw this post on another site and decided to pass it along.

Has anyone replaced the 9006 high beam bulbs in a 96 or 97 Viper with a 9011 Tosheba bulb? The 9011 was standard on the 98 and later Vipers and is a much brighter output. It requires grinding one of the three tabs on the bulb to a slightly narrower dimension to fit the 96 or 97 socket. My...

Here's the way I would try to calibrate it. You will need the help of someone who has a Viper with the standard 3.07 rear end.
Run the stock Viper on the street in say 4th gear. Pick say 2000 rpm on the tach and observe and write down what exact number the speedometer gives for this rpm with...
I just read today on the IAC site, that aerobatic pilot Kirk Fulton of Lubbock, TX was killed yesterday in a Dodge Viper. Does anyone have the details?
The text read as follows:
"It is with a heavy heart that I must pass on to you that aerobatic's good friend Kirk Fulton was killed last night...
If you are not happy with the steering rack recall fix that Dodge is offering, here's one that uses a truss plate that ties the frame to the rack mount. It is installed with rivet nuts and bolts on the frame and bolts and nuts on the rack mount. No welding or alignment changes are necessary...
After much thought about the problem with the 5th belt passing over the front of the seat cushion, as in the factory ACR set-up, I have come to the conclusion that the belt for my personal track car, should be modified for improved passenger-in-seat retention and improved safety.
I refer to a...
A 97 with a stock oil pan should take only 8 quarts with a filter change. Don't forget that approximately 1 quart will stay in the oil cooler and will not drain completely. If it is over full, you should drain it down to the dip stick line.
Re: Power steering which ain\'t.
This also happened to my pump on a 97 GTS. The pump failed at the track and was giving the same intermittent condition that you described. It was very dangerous to drive. The tech checked the output pressure and found that the seals were gone. He replaced it...
It is a relatively easy job to install from under the car. I have a write-up that gives step by step instructions. E-mail me and I will send it to you in a Word file.
There is another way to install it from inside the car, but this requires drilling out some very hard rivets and can make a big...
This is a kit plane that is on the cover of Trade-A-Plane this week and is called the Viper Jet. The kit is $135,000 and the engine is $35,000. I'm sure that the build time is over 5000 hours, but what a great addition to the fly-in garage, alongside the Viper car. See: www.viper-aircraft.com...
Check your hood switch to make sure that it is adjusted correctly. If not, it could be tripping the alarm with vibration of the hood. Also check the rear hatch switch if you have a GTS.

The accelerator pedal is not the only pedal that rattles. If you have the pedal adjustment set anywhere between the extreme limits of travel, the clutch and brake will also rattle. If these pedals are all the way forward or all the way back they will not rattle. Chuck Gregg's fix of putting a...
Has anyone tried to find the Viper fog light under the VW part number which is on the back of the lamp? It is: 02 B 871 941 703. I ran this through a VW dealer and they can find 941703 as an older beetle fog light. The problem is that it does not use a H3 bulb as does the Viper. The Dodge...

I've been told to seal them in close fitting plastic bags, such as the ones that you get at Discount Tire and keep them in a place away from sunlight and heat. Or, maybe your wife will let you put them in the freezer.
Does anyone know where I can buy the plastic trim piece that is on the ACR where the shoulder belt comes through the bulkhead. I don't think that it is available from Dodge as a seperate item. I want something to hide the cut slot in the bulkhead as was done on the ACR.
