    Transmission Noise 2nd Gear

    I just started to hear a gear noise in second gear. It goes away in 1st or 3rd. It started after I downshifted to first while going about 10 mph then got on it. Didn't miss any shifts. This is a 2008. Any ideas what this is? Keep driving till it breaks or time for a tranny now? Thanks

    Blowing fuses with Mopar Controller and Engine Problems.

    I have a problem that no one has been able to solve. The 2008 ran OK for a while with the Mopar computer then started running like a 1970 Plymouth with bad rings and valves. First time it went to the Viper shop with a Viper tech he said there was water in 8 or 9 and 10. He looked inside and...

    Time needed for Mopar computer to adjust

    It took 40 miles or more for the Mopar computer to adjust after installation. The 08 is now on 93 octane. How long will it take for the computer to adjust to race gas or a mixture of race and 93 octane? I wondering if I go to the track will the computer adjust to race gas fast enough to be...

    Learning process of Mopar PCM

    We put the new Mopar PCM in our 2008. The engine sound is that of a dutuned engine and the throttle response is slow. Does it take time for the new PCM to adjust? There is about 40 miles on the PCM and I may feel some improvement in the last few miles. Thanks

    Raise seats

    Is there a kit to raise the seats, especially the drivers seat? Or instructions on what to make and how to do it? The car always felt big to me. Now I realized that I was sitting too low and had a poor view of the right fender. Sitting on towels makes the visibility better. I'm average height...

    Trunk lid drops with a wing.

    We put a front splitter and rear wing on our 08. Its not an ACR. Now the trunk doesn't stay open. It stays open just long enough to make you think it will stay, then it sends you to the emergency room for stiches in your head. I figure the same problem may occur with the ACR. It there a...

    Whine in 3.55 differentail in an 08

    I swapped the stock rear for a 3.55, the standard design. I noticed a whine immediately, over the Balanger headers so it must be significant. My wife noticed it immediately. I don't want to mention vendor because everyone tries to do good work so its nobody's fault. The weather has been figid...

    What is a mamba?

    Aero kit on our 2008 Viper

    My wife is still annoyed that I didn't get an ACR. She wants the Viper to look mean. The ACR kit from Dodge was too expensive, so we put on an aftermarket kit. At the same time we put on a 3.55 rear, but its too cold to test the acceleration. We just wanted to share some pictures with you...

    Effect of differential on acceleration from a stop or from a rolling start.

    I'm confused about the effect of the rear gear ratio. Below are two links on the feeling of low torque on the 08s. It seems to me a higher(numerically) gear ratio has to increase the pushing power to the road. So in the absence of any wheelspin a higher ratio should accelerate faster. Drag...

    Pictures of our 2008

    We went to a car show and I took a gentleman for a ride in our Viper. He was taking pictures of the car. A couple days later we got a CD in the mail with about 20 great pictures of our car. Its Venom Red. We really liked the pictures and wanted to share them with you.

    Passenger air bag

    Where is the on-off switch for the passenger air bag. The owner's manual says the center console, but it in no present in my 2008. I didn't see it in the glove compartment and not in the trunk. When someone is in the passenger seat the yellow light comes on that says the airbag is turned off...

    Sway Bars for 2008

    In the Corvette world many drivers put in stiffer sway bars. I don't see this on this Viper forum. Do you guys, and girls, add stiffer sway bars? What about on the 2008? If so, where do you get them? I found one on PartsRack but I don't know if that one is a big improvement. Thanks

    First Track Day with our 2008 - Impressions

    Hello to all. We got our first Viper a short time ago from Woodhouse, with Motons but the rest is stock. We read all the stuff about it being hard to drive and spin outs without warning, so we were nervous about going to the track. But we took the Viper to the track anyway and drove it quite a...

    Gear Change and Speed in a 2008

    We are considering changing to a higher gear ratio. We have a 2008 and I think the rear end is 3.07. What is the top speed in each gear? I think I'll hit 150 on the straight at Summit Point and I don't want to shift into fifth. I thought there was a sticky with all this info but I...

    Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

    OK Guys, don't beat up on me, but I think the 2008 could use more torque at low RPM. I have had a couple 383 ci stroker Vets and never downshifted them and used 6th gear a lot and 5th for passing. With the 08 Viper I spend more time in 4th and 5th. The engine has less low speed torque than I...

    Which Track set up May 26 at Pocono

    For the Pocono track day is the driving on the full oval course? Or do you come off the main track for more curved roads in the middle? I think 2.5 miles is the full course, but I'm not sure. Thanks

    Heel Toe Shifting a 2008 Viper

    We just got a 2008. I'm tying to learn heel toe shifting. I have lots of track experience with Vets. I could get away without blipping the throttle on downshifts if I was tight on timing. Yes, I went through a lot of clutches, but normally the rear was stable. With the Viper the rear wheels...
