I had some jellowjackets build a nest behind the passenger side mirror glass on my 01' GTS.
Now the mirror will go up and down but not left to right , its jammed.
I read somewhere that the Mirror Glass can be taken off by itself somehow.
If thats true , what are the steps to doing...
I took the spring plate off from under the gas lid to fit a locking gas cap on my 2001 GTS while it was parked outside for awhile.
I started throwing the p0442 (small evap leak) / p0445 (large evap leak) codes.
I put my stock gas cap back on and it was still throwing codes.
I then...
I was just stalled out in the middle of an intersection with ZERO power ( couldn't even open my door from the inside ).
When I first started the car I noticed the ABS light was lit up w/ the parking brake light. I put the parking brake down and both lights went off ... so I went on my trip...
My car was parked in the rain yesterday during a pretty hard down pour.
I got in to drive today and could smell it was musty so I touched the floor.
The passenger side center of the floor was pretty wet to the touch (not a puddle) in a 3-4 inch circle, and it didn't seem to be wet...
I noticed my voltometer gauge goes down from 13.9 to around 12.9 when my e-fan kicks on under the hood.
Is that typical?
I guess I am trying to figure out if I have the stock fan set up or not ... the reason I wonder is my car seems to run cool. Its how I expect it to run , but when I...
I went to the track tonight and got my first wheel hop in my 2001 GTS.
It felt violent , but I got lucky and nothing broke.
What modifications can be done to prevent this?
I'm pretty new to IRS rearends. Ive fixed this in a solid axle before but things are a lot different.
Is...
I don't have access to a power plug for a battery tender in the winter time.
I think my new Optima battery may have died out on me this winter , the weather was a lot worse than I planned and I wasn't able to drive the car weekly like I was last winter.
Someone recommended I install...
I am not interested in tuning right now ... but I would like to datalog the performance of my 01' Viper.
I see the VEC and SCT Pro-Racer programs seem to be focused on actual tuning adjustments.
Do they both datalog also?
Is there just a datalog-only program out there?
Thanks for...
My lighter is dead, and the fuse is good.
I am going to guess the connection at the rear vibrated off.
I see its the radio surround that needs to get removed?
Any tips or steps to taking this piece off? I have a bad habit of pulling until something breaks thinking the clips are "...
If you have any Vintage (new or used) Sneaky Pete Logo'd and/or GTS themed Jackets you are wanting to sell, send me a PM with a picture and a price.
I am looking for Medium or Large jackets only.
Thanks! :) ---
I had a buddy buy a 2003 SRT Gen 3 with 35k miles. He had the car a month and got the dreaded #3/#4 rod kock.
I didn't realize this was common problem with the gen 3 engines.
It made me wonder what are the differences in the gen 2 vs gen 3 engines.
Gen 2 = 450hp , Gen 3 = 505hp.
The...
I had a wasp nest behind the passenger side mirror glass.
I used a power washer to get behind the glass and break up the nest, then pulled ALL the nest out.
Well, I set the mirror all the way up , and pushed it up even more to get the water stream under the mirror.
Now, it will go...
I am throwing codes P0455 and P0442 after I had my A&C SCT Tune installed (which could totally be a coincidence).
These are Evap System Codes ... "big leak" .
I have a locking gas cap , but I had that before the tune with no issues.
I was told to replace the gas cap first , for the...
I was told (and shown) that my rear inner toe link , and front steering gear need to be replaced. (tie rods)
They also said that you cant just replace the fronts, you need to get an entire new rack and pinion setup too?
My car only has 23k miles on it ('01 GTS) , is this typical...
I think they came out great. This is on the "River Road" in Alton, IL .
I was on a car cruise with about 35 other cars at the time.

I was under the impression that the Viper engine was originally a v-10 Truck engine ... sent off to Lamborghini since they were owned by Chrysler at the time.
Lamborghini did their thing and out came the Viper v-10?
The new HotRod Magazine writeup on the 2013 Viper claims this is the biggest...
I was curious to what the horsepower limit was on our stock bottom ends before the engines have catastrophic issues?
When the issues come up , whats the weak link that usually causes the problems?
Thanks :) ---
I was interested in getting a shift light for spirited driving.
Seems like a good idea to help keep my eyes on the road instead of the tach.
Most of the lights out there are HUGE though.
I was wondering what brand/model light you guys are using that looks clean with our interiors ... and...
I have a friend with a 2002 Ram truck that has a 8.0L v10 Magnum engine.
He has a few bad arms and pivots that need replaced, and wanted to use the stock arms/pivots out of my 2001 Viper.
Are they interchangeable?
Figured you guys would be the ones to ask first, thanks for the help...
Does anyone make a X-Brace (or any underhood brace) for our 2nd Gen cars like the 2013 Vipers use?
Would we have clearance issues between the hood and engine?
I just think its a neat idea, and may help out a lot.
Thanks :) ---
I have gotten slammed at work and haven't had time to change out the power steering pulley that broke on me last week.
The temps here have dropped from 55 to 25 ... and I am pretty sure I am about to deal with a dying battery.
My belt is not on the car right now ... and I need to get it to...
I drove the Viper for about 60 miles today. Got 1/4 mile away from home ... made a left turn off the highway and heard a slight quick SCREECH sound.
I felt a small tug in the steering wheel like my tire contacted the inner fender well.
Went to make a right hand turn into my home, and I have...
