    Undamaged Serpentine Belt Came Off: Possible Fixes?

    I drove my 2000 GTS last weekend for the first time since I moved into my new house several months ago. When I was returning from a 30 minute drive, I noticed the power steering was really stiff like the last time I lost the belt. Upon further inspection in my garage, the belt was completely...

    Viper Tech in North Houston

    I am looking for a good Viper Tech in North Houston for my Gen 2. I lost the serpentine belt again over the weekend, so I would like to have someone take a look at it to see if any other parts need to be replaced. I live up in Montgomery, so the further north, the better for me. Thanks...

    Oil Drain Plug w/ Heli-Coil on Gen 2?

    I have a mostly stock 2000 GTS with very low miles and I have owned the car since it was new. When I took it to the dealer to get an oil change, I mentioned the car had been dripping since the last oil change. When they took out the drain plug, a heli-coil and the plug came out together. Is this...

    Factory Oil Pan for 2000 Viper

    I need to replace the factory oil pan on my 2000 GTS and I am wondering if there is any place to buy one online? According to my local Dodge dealer, they are not available in the US at this time. I do not want a deeper one, but I would consider a used one if a performance shop has recently...

    All Fluids Changed with only 2500 Miles?

    I have a 2000 GTS with only 2500 miles which I bought new. Over the weekend, the serpentine belt came off due to a bad power steering pulley bearing. (Common problem?) The work will be covered by the 7 year, 50,000 mile warranty, as was the rollback ride to the dealer. Now, the dealer is...

    How much louder with Headers? Corsa, Highflow Cats Already

    I have K&N Filters, Smooth Tubes, RT Highflow Cats (Ceramic) and the 3" Corsa Exhaust on a 2000 GTS. I am thinking about SS headers, but would like an opinion on how much louder the car will sound when driving around town. Has anyone else added headers after changing their exhaust, as a...

    16-Spoke 19" Purners (Pics)

    16-Spoke 19\" Purners (Pics) I just figured out how to post images, so I thought I would post a few more pictures of my new Wheels and Tires. The fit and finish of the Purners is excellent and the ride is beautiful. I went with 345s in the back and 285s in the front. I also added 3.55 gears...

    Hi-Flow Cats w/ Corsa

    After breaking in my Viper for 3.5 years, I am finally ready to make some minor performance modifications. I have read numerous threads on the simplest way to start and I have decided on K&Ns, Smooth Tubes and Corsa exhaust. The one question I have not been able to determine is the need...

    Viper in Northwest Houston Ditch

    Does anyone know who owns a Black GTS that was in the ditch on Stuebner Airline just north of 2920 this afternoon? There was big long tire marks that lead right up to a missing brick mailbox and the car was across the road in the opposite ditch. The back end of the car was missing, as if he...

    Tire Diameter the Same? (Front/Back)

    I want to put 19" Forgeline VR1s on my car, but I have a question about tire sizes. The factory front tires of my GenII are about 5/16" smaller in diameter than the rears. Should I try to maintain the same ratio or is the front to back tire height simply a matter of taste? I am considering...

    To Buy or Not to Buy?

    My dealer just called and told me my Black 2003 has been delivered. When I talked to the GM on the phone, he was telling me about some of the problems his customers have had with Vipers in the last few months. (He had orders for 22) For the first time in the whole process, I felt that he was...

    SRT/10 at Houston Auto Show?

    Is the Viper SRT/10 or the RAM SRT/10 being displayed at the Houston Auto Show? The commercial I saw flashes a quick picture of the RAM, but I was told both SRT/10s are not being displayed. If not, does anybody know why? I followed all of the procedures to order my new Viper and I would...

    Houston VCA Region???

    After joining the national VCA this year, I think I was put into the wrong local region. All of my mail and my VCA badge says North Central Texas region. Their local events are in Dallas and Fort Worth, so it is a long drive from my NW Houston home. Did someone in Farmington Hills make a...

    Crack in Center Console

    My 2000 GTS has developed a crack in the plastic of the center console. The vinyl covering is not affected, but the crack indentation is noticeable to the eye from both seats. Any thoughts on whether this would be covered under warranty? I bought the 7-year extended warranty, but I think they...
