    Swiss Cheese Rotors on my 2004 Viper

    Stopping power mostly comes from pad compound, not the rotors.

    2004 Differential

    From what I can gather, they do very limited runs of Viper Wavetracs along with their unique stubs...something on the order of once a year or so based on anecdotal evidence. Just be aware that their lifetime warranty, while nice, also relies on these limited production runs. Bottom line: if...

    Viper Dana Super 44 Rebuild (How-to) - Gen 3/4/5 (2003-2017)

    As long as you can find the parts you can. A Gen 5 diff w/ Gen 5 axles should be a direct swap into your '06. The Gen 5 axles can be hard to source, but they're out there. If you want to retain your Gen 3 axles, you can pull the Gen 5 output stubs (w/ 6 bolt flanges) and replace them with...

    Can't program throttle.

    What mods on the car? How are you doing the relearn? Factory tools, or something else?

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Bleeding will help, but this is going to become a regular occurrence due to the heat from the headers, so get used to the process. Bleed early, bleed often.

    Clutch issues during longer drives

    Any mods on the car, specifically exhaust mods? Headers for instance? The clutch hydraulic line runs pretty close to the exhaust by design, so any mods that remove heat shields or bring the primaries closer to that line can cause issues. I could imagine clogged cats causing similar issues. As...

    Wavetrac stub axle

    The difference in the stubs is how they are retained internally with the Wavetrac carrier - that part is different than OEM (where the grooves are for the circlips, and possibly the spline count). The external side where they connect to your OEM axles is the same.

    Dana 44 differential ID

    This is where my lack of experience with earlier generation Vipers shows. I think it would fit any Viper between 1992-2002 (Gen 1 & 2). There were some differences among those years...at some point, Dodge switched to a larger ring gear bolt (7/16" vs 3/8"), but I'm not sure when that was. It...

    Dana 44 differential ID

    Well, you definitely know it isn't 100% OEM. That's not the end of the world, but it does raise some questions. What exactly is "new" in this assembly? - The differential case looks like it could be new, even with the few spots/stains - Same for the differential cover; that looks pretty good...

    Dana 44 differential ID

    Looks like a Gen 1 (1992-1995) unit based solely on the pics. Tag won't tell you everything you need to know, as the gear marking compound tells me someone has been in there, and recently at that as those gears haven't been run yet. It's hard to tell from just one photo, but I'd want to take a...

    Hydraulic clutch

    Find a spare cap and send it to Motive. For a small price, they can modify it to work with their pressure bleeder system and send it back to you. Problem solved.

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    Yes, there is definitely an anchor point behind a small removable piece in the waterfall panel. A Gen 3 passenger seat might work, but you'd have to double check that all of the sensors/connections are the same between the two generations. My guess is that there is an additional sensor or two...

    I need a complete rear diff - anyone know where to source one?

    Your best bets would be to call: 1. Unitrax - not quite the same as they used to be back in the Viper's golden days, but still worth calling 2. One of the high performance Viper shops (Nth Moto, Calvo) - I'm guessing they end up upgrading rear diffs for their high HP builds, so they may have...

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    And one more thing...my Gen 4 does not have latch connections in the passenger seat.

    Child/Car seat recommendations?

    Clarification: Gen 3 = yes, you can turn the airbag off (switch is in the center console) Gen 4 = no, you can NOT turn the airbag off manually

    tranny oil change

    Note that the proper fill amount for the TR-6060 is 3,210 mL: That comes out to just shy of 3.4 quarts. If you fill the transmission until it starts pouring out of the fill hole (which is usually the standard procedure), you'll end up with a slight overfill. Is it the end of the world if...

    Ignition (key on) fuse?

    I can't directly answer your question, but will at least offer this - when I installed a wideband on my car, I installed an add-a-fuse in the 15-amp gauges fuse slot in the engine bay. Ran the wire from there through the firewall next to the brake booster (towards the outside of the car) and...

    Gen 3 Headlamp Experience

    Given the proximity to the paint, I'd say the heat from the steam caused that.

    Gen 3 Headlamp Experience

    I didn't get a good look at them on Saturday...I'd like to see the pics of what you are talking about. I'm curious to see if they look anything like what I see on my daily driven, 17 year old truck that has sat out in the sun pretty much every day of its life. My guess would be excessive heat...
