    3rd gear whine

    Re: 3rd gear whine - HELP !!!!!!!!!!! It's nothing that is going to go bad, just a gear that wasn't machined properly, if I remember correctly. Chrysler refused to fix this for me, so I highly doubt you'll be able to get anywhere. - Anthony

    Changed the oil...

    I'm here! Sorry, I sold the Viper back in May and I think I forgot to mention that on the forum. - Anthony

    Somebody explain this "unrefined" bad rap that the Viper has

    Well, it is 'unrefined' compared to other sports cars at the same $100k price range. The interior is relatively cheap, there are no electrical goodies like traction control, auto climate control, heated seats, etc. The engine sill has a cable throttle rather than drive-by-wire, and the power...

    Changed the oil...

    I never use any additives. Just drain and refill. Forget the Mobil1. Just run Valvoline SynPower 10w30 and enjoy. :2tu:

    Changed the oil...

    Or you could just put the 2x6 infront of the ramp and then drive up on it, and then onto the ramp. ;) Much easier than having to use a jack and jackstands.

    Stereo mods

    Spend $100 and get a set of Polk DB651S and put them in the doors. Install instructions here: http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/617959-installed-kicker-ks600-6-5-speakers.html Go to the last page as that's where I swapped the Kickers for the Polks. The Polks are a...

    "clunking" noise....

    Had this on mine... the sway bar end link was loose. Get under there and tighten it, see if it solves the problem.

    My new Viper beater...

    Awesome looking bike - the new CBRs look great. What is the top speed of that? The K1200S runs out of steam at 178 MPH.

    My new Viper beater...

    That is a 92 Corrado VR6. I'm old school. I had an R32, which was probably the best VW of late. That engine increased displacement to 3.2 litres and 250 HP (which is what the Corrado makes now with the supercharger).

    My new Viper beater...

    Haha, no toys for the Viper. I have my other car that I play with. Actually I just finished the supercharger install on that last weekend: It won't beat the Viper though. :p

    My new Viper beater...

    Now that I have your attention :D, I picked up a Viper beater for a fraction of the cost. Only problem now is that my Viper feels slow! 0-60 in 2.8 seconds.

    mobile 1 or royal purple?

    Save your money, get some 5 quart jugs of Valvoline 10w30 from walmart and do an oil/filter change for under $50. Change it every 3k and enjoy. I did this at 3k miles, and when I pass 6k miles sometime this summer I will be getting the oil analyzed so you can all see that Mobil1 isn't God's...

    Low profile aluminum jack on sale

    I have an Alcon one that I picked up from Costco for $99 about 4 years ago. It works great. I think they have something similar now, although it is like $119 or more. - Anthony

    Lil help changing my fluids ...

    Ouch. I believe it's just Castrol Syntorque in the diff and tranny. You should be able to get that from any retailer. How much was the posi additive?

    Lil help changing my fluids ...

    I love that my oil change thread keeps getting referenced, even though I got a lot of crap for it from the old farts on the forum! :D I'm going to be changing the tranny, diff, coolant, and brake/clutch fluid in the spring, and I'll take my camera with me as well. - Anthony

    3rd gear whine

    Well I followed up with the dealer today, and it doesn't look good. They can't find anything about a third gear replacement, and the service manager doesn't want to authorize a replacement incase it doesn't get approved. So, it looks like I may just have to deal with it. They acknowledge...

    Cheap Mobil 1 0w40

    Yup, it's Pennzoil now. Who remembers how many people yelled at me when I said manufacturers get in bed with whomever gives them the best deal? Many people here were expecting my engine to fall apart since I didn't use Mobil1 on my last oil change. ;) I'm using Valvoline SynPower 10w30...

    3rd gear whine

    Yes I'm still under warranty. I haven't heard from my dealer yet, so I will call today and follow up. And yeah, I'm a slacker! :P

    3rd gear whine

    No vibration at all, and it's only on decel. It is loudest between 3500 RPM - 2500 RPM.

    3rd gear whine

    Updating this thread... the noise is not normal. I went to another dealership on Friday and I went for a ride with their tech, who also happens to own a 2003 Viper. I went around the block and he instantly heard the noise, and it was the first he had heard about it. Considering no one I...

    H&R Coilovers

    H&R products are top notch. I have used them in many cars; they are in one of my cars now, and the other one has a Bilstein/H&R sport combo. I will assure you that the spring rates of the H&R coilovers will be higher than the KWs or Motons, as that is always the case with H&R. They design...

    Clunking from the rear when going over bumps?

    Sorry, thought I had updated this after it was fixed. The problem was the sway bar end link was coming loose. That was all. - Anthony

    Ah, so you guys are going to venture into the Viper world as well? Welcome to the club. - Anthony (VWvortex.com) P.S. - Silver definitely is the fastest.

    Changing Clutch Fluid (2 options)

    You are correct. RBF600 is more hygroscopic than other fluids, since it's a race fluid and it supposed to be changed frequently. It has an amazingly high boiling point though. I used Motul 5.1 in my last car, and it was great. It's DOT 5.1 (backwards compatible with DOT 3/4), and it...

    Viper Dealers in the MD/DC/VA area?

    If it comes down to it, maybe I will consider sending my Viper out there to Mark. He has been amazingly helpful with me trying to get this issue fixed, and there isn't anything even in it for him. That says a lot right there. Next week when we get a non-rainy day, I am going to take the...
