    end link boots not lasting very long

    The anti-sway bar end link boots don't seem to last more than a few years for me. They tear and crack, looks like normal aging but just way too premature. I've replaced the front set twice and the rear set once. Is this normal for a '99? Are there better replacement endlinks available?

    fuel injector life expectancy

    What's the typical life of a stock Viper injector? The engine is tumbling a bit around 2500 rpm and I am suspecting it might be an injector (I have eliminated all of the usual suspects..battery, plugs, wires, throttle body sync, reset ECU, fuel filter, etc.) I've got about 48,000 mi. on a stock...

    Gimme an easier way to check my overflow bottle

    It's a pain in the *** to check the fluid level under certain conditions. Would someone please develop a simple kit with a light source that you could attach to the outside of the over flow bottle (by working through the access hole) and that would "T" in with the fog light, on that side of the...

My oil level is fine and the pressure gauge reads normal, also no codes are thrown. I don't think there is anything really wrong with the engine, maybe a...

    is it normal to lose a pint or two of coolant a year?

    ...from the overflow bottle. The engine is stock. I see no signs of a leak and the oil tests always come back with a clean bill of health? Is it just due to evaporation? Thanks Bruce

    What does the battery temp. sensor do?

    Does anyone know exactly how the temp. sensor controls the battery charging? Does it shutdown the charging when it's too high? At what temp. does it do it? I can't find anything in the shop manual about it. TIA Bruce

    What is it that the stock ECU "learns"?

    What is it that the stock ECU \"learns\"? I have been trying to find some detailed info. on this and have had no luck. How and why does the ECU adapt itself based on your driving?

    Someone needs to write a book

    I would pay good money for a book for Viper owners that want to be DIY'rs or at least learn what's needed to keep your machine running. It could be a simple as a compilation of all of the great posts on this site. Performance data, what the part nos. are for regular replacement items, stuff like...
