    1997 Battery died, thought it was bad but think I have a short, looking for connector

    Still not sure what problem is but one thing I know I have going on is a corroded connector where the battery is located on my 1997 GTS. Looking in the parts PDF, I see the picture of the part but it is simply called "wiring body". Before I start doing massive searches, anyone know what PN#...

    1997 Viper GTS Oil Change

    I've been using Mobil 1 oil and filter on my 97. Usually catch it on sale at one of the cheapy parts shops. I'd have to look but pretty sure 97's are 7.5 quarts unless you have a different pan.

    Cleaning out valley under Intake Manifold and see these cracks, now what?

    There was absolutely nothing there, no imperfections or anything, I was actually showing to friend and he looked at me and started laughing. He was attempting to hold me ransom for being an idiot so I decided to pre-empt and post the truth out here. Was sorta strange as the driver side cleaned...

    Cleaning out valley under Intake Manifold and see these cracks, now what?

    Ignore, I am a dumb@ss. Really, I am. I was just using a simple spray parts cleaner, driver side cleaned up really well, for some reason, passenger side left what looks like cracks was really just smudges. Just smudges. I had been working on the car for a couple hours and got to the point of...

    Cleaning out valley under Intake Manifold and see these cracks, now what?

    So, dealing with oil leak from what I think is the time chain cover gasket, I notice these cracks on the passenger side of the heads? Driver side doesn’t appear to have them. Someone lie to me and tell me they are cosmetic.

    Replacing PCV Hose and Grommet without removing Intake Manifold

    Yeah, everything I read indicates that. Looks like it is also the timing chain cover gasket is leaking as well, pulling it I suppose. I should have just left the oil hiding under the intake manifold....

    Replacing PCV Hose and Grommet without removing Intake Manifold

    I'm having some oil under the intake manifold in the valley and it looks like it is coming from the PCV hose/grommet. Can I replace the PCV Hose / Grommet without pulling off the Intake Manifold? Quick look makes me think the thermostat housing is in the way.

    1997 GTS question

    Yeah, that is a little bizarre. Not seen many going backwards for the 96-98's (which use 17 wheels).

    Personal VCA Renewal Decision

    Awesome and well thought out post Chuck. Like yourself and others, I have been watching from the sidelines thinking about what to do and where to go. I remember when I joined VCA, it was all part of that “I made it moment” when I bought the Viper way back when. So while I haven’t been as...

    Looking for a lift, take a look at Eagle Equipment

    I picked up an Eagle Equipment 4-post Lift back in early 2011 and couldn't be happier with it. The lift itself hasn't had any problems but I did have problems with the sliding bridge jack leaked fluid at the pump. They replaced the pump and all was well for over a year. Well this past week, I...

    Direct Lift & Rotary Revolution Lift

    I'm in the market for a lift as well and it seems all the 4 post lifts in the 8000 lbs range are made in China.

    Brought a friend home to my Viper

    As mentioned they are this carbon-fiber looking stuff, I liked it as it breaks up the big hood. I will have to get some good pics, this the day it got delivered, it was absolutly pouring out. I'll try and get a picture of both of them out once I get them washed and it is sunny out. On a...
