    Something fun!

    Sounds like quite the adventure. Starting with a gen 5 setup might be interesting, but I guess if you're going full custom on stuff it's not as big of a deal. Mostly just from the standpoint of tuning and whatnot is why the newer ones have been harder to work with, but I guess that had changed...

    Hearing a alert tone ding when in 1st gear before shifting

    You can buy programmable sensors that you can clone to the OEM ids. That way you don't have to reprogram the car itself. The trick there is you need the OEM ids to start with. If you're lucky you can get them off the sensors themselves. They should be on a sticker on them, but at 20 years...

    Check out this Viper!

    Yeah, it's a love hate thing with me on these. I enjoy watching his videos and his humor, but I wish he would have started with a car in a different condition. Seems a shame to cut up what appeared to be a pretty nice car when there are likely plenty of salvage or rougher condition cars out...

    What’s my car worth

    Yeah, where you live in the country and even time of year can have a decent effect on the price of cars like these as well. The snide answer is "whatever someone is willing to pay for it", though that's really the truth. How badly you need/want to sell it can affect the price as well. If...

    OBD 94 viper

    Even with the DRB III the diagnostics are somewhat limited on the early cars, but you can do stuff like actual coils, injectors, etc. one by one to see if those outputs are good on the computer. I just got lucky in that I had got the DRB III for my 04 and it came with a bunch of cables and...

    OBD 94 viper

    Yeah, a DRB III works as well, though those are likely no more common as most shops, even less so indie shops I imagine. I used mine on my mom's 94 when she was having some rough running issues to work out that she had a bad coil.

    Side Skirt Screws Loose/Missing

    I did this as well, though the main issue I've had lately is that the threads have gunked up or galled or something on a few of them and made it tough to get bolts in or out. I think it's the stainless problem that Steve mentioned, though I thought I also actually picked stainless nuts to go...

    Current Market Price 2008 ACR

    Yeah, usually my first thing to do is check other websites like AutoTrader, Cars.com, Ebay, etc. You'll still probably see a wide range of prices, and there's no guarantee that any of those listings are actually selling at the prices they are listed at, but it gives you at least an idea of what...

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

    Viper diffs are known to clunk when brand new. Have you had the car for a while and noticed it getting worse or is it new to you? Just curious as that's one of the number one comments that people have when the drive a Viper.

    O2 sensor help

    Yeah, I was thinking similar. It's entirely possible your harness has a fault in it due to touching a header pipe or something, so it wouldn't matter if the sensor is good if the harness has damage somewhere.

    What special Viper do i have? Strange GTS Combination

    Very odd, though then again I don't really know how exports work as that might play into some of this. I could picture requiring information to be included on an import/export sheet that might cover modifications or options, so I could see someone modifying the car in the US before exporting it...

    What special Viper do i have? Strange GTS Combination

    You have any pictures? I would be very skeptical that any car cam from the factory with 4 extra gauges like those. Every mod on that car sound like typical aftermarket stuff. Even potentially sounds like a rebuilt/upgraded engine with the color difference as I don't believe they ever did...

    Viper magazine back issues

    Let me check. I know we used to have a couple of most issues still at one point. I thought we had them listed on the store, but looks like they aren't there for some reason.

    Window Alignment Issue

    Glad you got it figured out! I'm guilty of hanging on to old broken stuff as well, though I've head several times now that there are places that will repair the originals, so I guess I've always got a backup plan if I need it.

    Gen 3 cigar lighter wont stay down in closed position?

    I'd agree, the socket shouldn't matter to the operation of the latching part. Fortunately the center console comes off really easily. The worst of it is just taking the shift knob off, otherwise it's pretty much just press tabs holding everything in and some harnesses to unplug.

    High flow cats vs other exhaust input

    I saw in a different thread in the past where someone had an earlier gen that had the gen 3/4 side sill insulation retro fitted. It seems to be reasonably good stuff and it works by mounting to the sill itself instead of the exhaust, so I think it's better for pipes in that it tends to do...

    Gen 3 cigar lighter wont stay down in closed position?

    Oh, you mean it doesn't even have the socket period? I was thinking you meant it just didn't have the knob thing that actually has the lighter coil in it. Now I'm curious how they are supposed to work...

    Gen 3 cigar lighter wont stay down in closed position?

    The pop up one is a power point, it never had a lighter insert as far as I'm aware. The one inside the center console is the one that has the lighter. As for it not staying down, that I don't know without tearing one apart. I know mine is a little finicky at times, but it does eventually go...

    Any 3rd Gens running 4th Gen Exhaust Muffler/Resonators?

    Hmm, I agree, kind of hard to tell. I think it's likely more just aftermarket exhaust kind of noise that accentuates the stock sound compared to a cam, but a dyno would likely tell a better story. At the moment I'm running no cats (Kansas), but also because there's just no room to put them in...

    factory amp change

    It can be pretty difficult with the convertible since the battery is in the trunk, which is completely separated from the passenger cabin. My car originally had a huge amp in the trunk when I bought it and they drilled some holes in the panel behind the seat to route the speaker wires from the...

    Any 3rd Gens running 4th Gen Exhaust Muffler/Resonators?

    Any idea where your cam came from? My original exhaust setup was a Borla cat back that I really liked. Deeper muscle car sound and good roar when you laid into it. Swapped to long tube M&M headers and got rid of the cats, but kept the Borlas after that and it got a "buzzier" sound too it...

    Leak question

    Guessing this isn't the case on your car, but valve cover leaks often show up at the oil pan as well. I know on my 2004 that the oil pan often looked a little wet and had some drips on it that I had a hard time tracking down. New valve cover gaskets seemed to fix it for the most part.

    Smog Time again

    How often do you drive the car? Wondering if it might just need a bit of an "Italian tune up" with some highway driving for extended periods to clean things out. Though if you need to pass to drive it that becomes a chicken and egg problem. My mom's 94 had a bad coil a while back that gave...

    Broken fan - What Now

    Why not just replace the current fan module? It seems like you're going to spend more time and money trying to retrofit a new system than to just replace the old one since it seems like you found the problem. Then it's just a straight drop in and maybe a couple hundred bucks if that and you're...
