    Limp mode + 11(!) CEL codes

    A couple of scenarios that would fit the symptoms is a failed alternator and/or a bad battery. My guess, based on what you have shared here is that you were running the car from battery power when the voltage finally dropped low enough for the computer to start getting bad data and throwing...

    Gotta ask...

    Comments I have received on my SSG Roadster have been 99.5% positive. The car brings many smiles and looks. If you have any bad habits (nail biting or nose picking) this is not the car for you. Be prepared to be photographed/filmed at all times when in the car. SSG on a Viper is a iconic...

    National VCA officers suspended?

    Joe, As president of the NEVCA you should be able to confirm the actions alleged. Did you receive the email/letter from Maurice Liang that he and several other National Officers of the VCA were suspended by Mr. Lee Stubberfield? If true, what it your position on this matter? This is a...

    08 check engine light

    This is a common code that occurs after the battery has been disconnected and then reconnected. If your car sat without the use of a smart charger, perhaps the battery fell below threshold voltage when you started it. It may be time for a new battery soon. You should use a smart charger or...

    check engine light

    I know others recommended a new battery when you were troubleshooting, but I don't recall reading that you replaced it. If you didn't, then you should even though you have found the source of the problem (defective switch). The shorted switch has completely drained the battery more than once...

    check engine light

    Here's another option if you are concerned about towing your Gen 5 to a dealer: Call the SRT Team Call Center @ 855-778-8326. The only day they don't take calls is Sunday! Here's the web URL http://www.drivesrt.com/news/2012/05/here-for-you-the-srt-team-answers-the-call.html

    Had to ruin my car today :'(

    That is disappointing to hear. At the last VOI we (Viper owners) were solicited for last minute ideas on the Gen V. I spoke with Graham Henckel (Head of Viper Engineering) and we exchanged a few emails about front plate brackets. I lobbied heavily for a front plate bracket that did not...

    Opinions on New Transmission and Gearing Wanted

    I had John Donato in Michigan update my 2008 with the new 5th and a lower 6th. He also changed out the bronze lined syncros with the new style carbon fiber ones. I don't run mile events but I absolutely recommend the gear change. It turns the 6060 into a nice close ratiio 6 speed that's much...

    NEVCA - Gun Shoot - June 29th

    This is one event that no other region can top. Thanks to Mark and Francine, the NE Region has the title of the most full auto firepower. Most people will never see a collection of machine guns this complete in their lifetime, nevermind get to shoot them. I still can't believe they hosted...

    Gen iv 08, 09 & 10

    Yes, the production 08 ACR's were the last of the 08's built. I think SRT realized they needed solid shafts while testing pre-production ACR's. I'm not 100% sure. We can ask during the next SRT chat.

    Gen iv 08, 09 & 10

    I recall reading that the solid shafts started in April 08. I don't remember the source. I don't think any customer ACR's left the plant with hollow half shafts.

    2014 Corvette

    Looking at the steering wheel, I can't help but think of "War of the Worlds". In addition to the nose/headlights (front view), they also copied the Gen 5 Viper passenger "Oh Sh@*" handle. Maybe it will grow on me, but the Viper is nicer inside and outside in my opinion.

    The Inevitable!

    When I last spoke to Dick W. on the subject of our V10, I think he said that we were safe for the next 5 years from a regulatory standpoint. Of course, the Obama Administration's EPA may change their mind at any time.

    Replaced Battery now have Check Engine Light

    Walmart has CAN bus compatible code readers but you may want to save your money. After a few ingnition cycles, the check engine light will turn off if the only issue is the battery was disconnected for a period of time.

    SRT Flag in the mail

    Got mine today also. The loyalty coupon does not appear to apply to the Gen V Viper (only 2012 SRTs and delivery must be by January 2nd).

    Stryker red option

    Speaking with the great guys from Prefix, painting Stryker Red is equvalent labor of painting 3 non-specialty colored Vipers. I also got the impression that it would be more than 10K. Of course, that's the color my wife wants. Don't forget to add the $7500 for the premium leather interior...

    Gen V Autoweek

    I am a relative newcomer to the world of Viper (First Viper: 08 Gen IV). When I read some of the negative stuff on our VCA forum I just shake my head sometimes. How is it that a minor little comment by Mr. Ralph G. can get some Viper owners all spun up? I'm just happy that we are getting a...

    just bought a 2010 ACR

    Congrats on the new car! Just as as reminder, keep an eye on the oil level for the first 1000 miles or so. Our V10s can use a liitle oil prior to the first oil change during break-in.

    Cats clogged?

    You should be able to diagnose a clogged exhaust with a vacuum gauge.

    RE: VOI # 12 sign up is a go 5-4-12. Who's going from NEVCA SWEET!!!!!!!

    I have a route that I am prepared to discuss with the folks doing the two day caravan. Glenn offered to host a drivers meeting but it isn't clear to me if the group wants to have a meeting before we depart. Let me know. Shaun I can definitely give you our route once I get a consensus.

    Mobil 1 oil filter vs Mopar Viper spec

    I'm also in the MOPAR SRT filter camp. As it has already been mentioned, this topic has been covered in prevoius threads. The new SRT filter is designed to run in the Viper's operational oil pressure range. If you actually own a Viper, in my case a Gen IV, then you know the oil pressure...
