    Wow! DC just extended Ambassador coupons to SRT-10!

    This is going to be interesting. Only good til Dec. 31. Also applies to SRT Ram (both models) and SRT-4. Now if they only let it apply to Charger SRT8, I'd have to think really hard... Dear VCA Member: We have some great news regarding the DaimlerChrysler Ambassador Program. For the...

    Anyone installed TPS on Kumhos?

    Seeing from the other thread that Kumhos, kind of like run-flats, don't immediately present obvious indications when they've gone flat, how hard is it to install Tire Pressure Sensors? Anyone tried this with a Viper? I assume you just have to de-mount the tires and install the integrated TPS...

    Viper windshield?

    On the way to VIR for Viperdays, a GD gravel truck got in front (well, actually, I caught up with it) and I couldn't pass on the two lane blacktop, soo.... I kept back what I tho't was a good distance and, sure enough, about a half mile before he turned off, he passed over a bridge joint and a...

    Stripes on an RT/10?

    Thinking about adding the vinyl stripes, just to make it different. A few qxs. For Gen II (98 RT/10) were any factory painted with stripes? Specifically, are there 98 Silver RTs with factory stripes? What color striping? For those who've done this, were you happy with the vinyl stripes...

    Since the SRT Coupe didn't cut it for me...

    Since the SRT Coupe didn\'t cut it for me... Here's my plan: Get an low miles SRT-10 vert when they drop some more (say 58K); Buy the hard top that has the Comp Coupe vent in it; Buy the Comp Coupe spoiler and install it; Add as many Comp Coupe parts as I can afford, i.e., lightweight flywheel...

    RT Hardtop Stand - Query

    Just got my hardtop and stand today, just one question: How does it go in there? Also, what is the cage area for?? The little hooks in the back??? Some strange engineering in that stand... almost looks like it's designed to hold Viper Brochures at the dealership? Any help from the cogniscenti...

    DIY is fun!!

    Haven't changed plugs in a car in years! Today, did the whole nine yards with the Viper - plugs and wires. Pulled the cowl, removed the top of the air box, and took my time. Left some skin somewhere in the engine compartment when the wrench slipped trying to remove one particularly stuck plug...

    Spark Plug Analysis

    Changed plugs/wires today and did a quick search on google to see what "normal" plugs should look like; mine pass. Wondering if anyone here has more detailed analytical input like the for-pay sites that will sell you detailed info on how to read your plugs to tell more about your mix, timing...

    Looking at clutch repair - some questions

    My RT has been losing small amounts of clutch fluid out the bottom of the slot between tranny and clutch for several weeks. I keep adding Motul to get the gears to engage on cold starts, but problem persists, as it is leaking out, or course. Diagnosis seems to be slave cylinder. Now this part...

    Clutch issue...

    Found a small puddle under my tranny and pretty sure I have a fluid leak in the clutch hydraulic system. Won't engage gears after starting until I top off the clutch reservoir and pump it up. Then works normally until it sits for awhile and clutch appears to take a small dump of Motul fluid...

    Motor Trend reviews pre-owned Vipers

    Son just got his new MT and on Pg. 166 there is a one-page "Pre-owned" review of Gen 1 and 2 Vipers. Their bottom line: "perfect fair-weather frolic for extroverts, wannabe racers, and horsepower junkies everywhere." :D Best line: "take a ride, and maybe you'll understand." :2tu:

    AC experts - little help needed...

    OK, I bought the five dollar tool at NAPA and tried tightening the Schrader valve on the low side (which is leaking!). It still leaks. I tried loosening it and re-tightening - still leaks. What next? I do NOT want to have to take this into a Dodge dealer if at all possible.

    Kuhmo Sand Blasting

    I've been running rears now for around 2k miles, and noticed the leading edge of the rear fender wells look like they have been shotgunned with bird shot. I expected this, and wouldn't give up the traction the Kuhmos provide for anything, but what have people found most effective in protecting...

    Fixed my running hot problem - run the AC!

    Thanks for the post a couple weeks ago about how easy it is to charge your own Viper AC. I bought the kit at Walmart, and two cans later, my pressure was stable at 45 and the car was cooling great. Had a hot day down here today, and we took the snake out. By leaving AC on, fan now stays on...

    RT/10 Hardtop questions?

    Please chime in if you can help this decision process. I'm between a number of roof options from a used Mopar to the Vipermania double bubble with fake air scoop. There is a dearth of pix on their website though. So... it would really be great if you could: 1. Post any pix of your Vipermania...

    Anyone tried installing driving lights in place of factory fogs?

    They look kind of large for the PIAA's but has anyone found a good solution to put a quality driving light in place of the factory fog lights? Don't ever drive in fog, but some extra "deer early warning" would be welcome out there in the boonies! :ooo:

    Quick consensus - Mobil 1 filter or Mopar?

    Baby's getting her first oil change (from me) soon. I've seen a lot of people using the Mobil One Oil Filter - any reason to go that one over Mopar or vice versa? Thanks.

    Getting my RT\'s brake system together! With thanks to Tom at Incyte, Nancy at Woodhouse, and Jon at Parts Rack, my Gen II brakes are starting to come together. I've only had the car a month, but knew right away that the nearly worn-out pads on the stock braking system were an opportunity...

    Mixing tire types front/rear?

    Last owner put new (17's) Pilot Sports on front - my MXX's on rear are dry. Thinking about Kumho V700s but worry about having so much more grip on rear than on front may cause handling problems. Anyone had experience or can comment? Tire Rack didn't like the idea...
