    Gas struts for trunk with spoiler...To heavy and falls

    Having been in the RV business for a long time, I'm familiar with struts. They are used in many applications, but mainly for the outside compartment doors. Struts that look the same can have different pressures. Google "gas struts" and give one of them a call. I know they can help.

    2008 Viper breaks 200 mph barrier

    We went to Bonneville last year. Great experience but I don't think I want to run my car on the salt. Check out the Silver State Classic (silverstateclassic.com) in Nevada. I believe it is coming up in Sept. Hwy 318 is a fantastic road, just repaved last year.

    Padded Lug Nut Sockets

    The socket you need is a Porsche item. The Viper lug nuts are 19mm or a sloppy 3/4. The lug nut bore hole on the std Viper rim is 32mm. Google "porsche lug nut socket". If you look at the lug nut on PCARS.COM you will see the socket I'm referring to. It is a 19mm lug nut size in a 24mm socket &...

    Viper logo-The little guy got me

    We came out of a restrauant the other night and a Dad and his young son were bending down looking at my 5 spoke wheel. As I walked up the little guy said, still pointing to the center cap, "How come your have Daffy Duck on your wheel"? Surprised I said "What". Sure enough he was right. Turn the...

    Tire age???

    As a Viper owner and you were purchasing new Michelin PS2, or any other for that matter, how old of a build date would you accept? DOT ID numbers, from 2000 on, are either 11 or 12 digits with letters & numbers. The last two diget will be the year & the two before that will be the week they were...

    Tire Monitoring System Question?

    Tire & rim package is from Industrial Motoring. I told them I was getting the Hella system from Tirerack and Elliott said he would order the system for me. Later called me to say Tirerack had said they were having problems with the Hella system. That was the reason for my inquirey.

    Tire Monitoring System Question?

    The OEM system just does not make sense. The after market systems do so much more. I'm leaning towards the TC-400 system, but unfortunately the Posts here are not up to date. Hopefully, some other Viper owners will give some imout.

    Tire Monitoring System Question?

    I have a set of IForged Classics coming and want to add a Pressure Monitoring system to the rims before they mount the tires. I will be keeping my originals so the sensors will stay on those rims and it seems, for the price of new Dodge sensors, I can get a better system for my new tires & rims...

    Cleaning Wheels

    Over the years I have tried just about everything,but this product works great on the back of the rims. It's called Oil Eater by Kafko International, 800-528-0334 @ oileater.com. It's safe and can even be used as a car wash. I use it full strength in a spray bottle, wait about 60 second and wash...

    Advice on rim & tire selection

    I just ordered a set of Iforged Classic II's for my 06 coupe. Rears are 20x13 with straight 4" lip and fronts are 19x10 with 3" lip. Tires are Michlin PS2's 335/30ZR20's rear and 295/30ZR19/XL front. First, any advice on my selection & second should I go to 10.5 wide rims up front?

    What rear gear ratio?

    My 1st 06 stock I changed to 3:73's. Simply put, It made the car. On my present 06 Paxton,I went to 3:55's. Go with the 3:73's, but be careful with any gear change as the rear end will come around much quicker.

    insurance deny coverage blown viper?

    I just bought my third Viper and it is Supercharged. My insurance company looked at the car and had no problem insuring it, but it does not have Nitrous. I added $25,000 of Custom Vehicle Coverage. You might want to think about it. If the car is Totaled or Stolden, the insurance company will pay...

    Buying a Viper...exhaust question

    If the Cats have been removed it will probably not pass emissions. I don't believe a Dealer can sell a vehicle with proper emissions equipment missing. A private seller might have legal responsibility also. Ask for a State emission certificate before you purchase from the owner.Ask the owner if...
