    Trade-in value????????

    I have owned 2 Cadillacs. The quality was very poor,and had a boat load of electrical issues. My new sedan with the Famous Northstar V8 burned a quart of oil every 2000 miles due to poor valve train engineering,so GM put a bigger oil pan on car !! After 2 years I sold it and lost 20,000$ Guys...

    Malfunction Indicator light ON ????

    Sonoman, Thanks for good common sense advice. I found new upstream O2 sensor for about 40$ and have Mopar tech friend who can install after hours for no charge. Yet, I am not going to buy the sensor or install until I get MIL light again as no threat of damage to motor and I agree,that the...

    Update mil codes

    Hooked up OBD II scanner and it read PO155,which is O2 sensor heater circuit malfunction Bank 2, sensor#1. I reset the ECU and it has not come back on. Could bad gas or short have tripped the computer?? Car (2003 SRT with 20K miles). If sensor goes bad,is this an expensive repair ?? John:omg:

    Malfunction Indicator light ON ????

    Now that I think about it---- The last thing I did 3 weeks ago before I put Viper (2003 with 20,000 miles) in garage was fill tank. Suspect I may not have screwed cap tightly and threw a code. I am ordering OBD II reader and will check code and if just a gas cap I will reset it. If O2 sensor...

    I'm Addicted to my Viper...

    Like Alcoholics Annonymous there is Vipers Annonymous (VA) There are meetings where guys can meet and discuss their mental and emotional problems regarding why they MUST drive their Vipers. Bring Kleenex because a lot of tears are shed. Usually the guys who are most addicted have really small...

    WING

    Slithr, I think the wing would deliver more down force than the Vipair trunk lid. Also,the wing looks a lot "meaner" and aggressive.

    Imcgrew, Sounds like you are having a lot of fun and on a learning curve with the Viper. I suspect it is MUCH harder to drive autoX than most cars. In a Miata,you just press the go pedal to the floor and steer around cones. Can't do that with our Viper !!!!!!!!

    LOW OIL

    Blue, Thanks for info. Really interesting to learn all the odd little details on forum about these cars.After a QT of Mobil-1 added,level is perfect. Had car on lift today and found a slight film of oil on fly wheel guard. I removed the plate (2 screws) and no oil on flywheel which means no rear...

    LOW OIL

    Steve, I did not want to admit that I found the 2003 dipstick hard to read. Front side of dipstick that is engraved revealed a level different than the back side . Kind of screwy. Not at all like my bmw dipstick. All said and done,I think there is no oil consumption issue. I did add a QT. and...

    LOW OIL

    Steve, I agree with your point. I did not check oil when the motor was cold before trip. Then I checked oil when motor still pretty warm and probably some oil had not fully drained back to the pan. It looks like I am at the most only down 1/2 QT as motor cools. As it turns out, I am now not...
