    Viper is home

    "a nice case to sue you for defamation" WANTED, you might want to leave your legal opinions to those of us who pay our bills, and funded the purchase of our Gen V, by practicing law. The following is a good basic outline for the elements to sue under the common law tort action for...

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    Right on. Hopefully it works for you. I'm still having the same issue with reverse, but the car shifts beautifully other than that, and it hasn't become worse, so I've accepted it as a characteristic of the car. No worries.

    Viper going out of production in August 2017

    I heard a rumor the world was supposed to end in 2012. What ended up happening with that?

    Uconnect has been hacked, go get patch.

    All "patched up" here as of my lunch break. If anyone wants the "cliff notes" version of how to do it, just ask. The online instructions are pretty convoluted and can really be boiled down to a couple straightforward steps. :)

    Parts are now available for door handle recall

    Yep, Mark is right. I was misinformed by the dealership I was going to have service my car. Needless to say, I have informed them that I have no confidence in their ability to carefully service my Viper if they can't even accurately determine if parts are available for the car. Appointment...

    Parts are now available for door handle recall

    I just got off the phone with the service manager at my dealership, and upon checking, she discovered that her computer showed the availability of the R14 door handle recall parts. She is ordering them in, and has guaranteed me that they will be available for installation next Monday when my...

    How many TT Gen V's out there now?

    I apologize for my ignorance, since I actually own a Gen V GTS, but what is a Gen V "TT"? I am familiar with SRT, GT, GTC, GTS, TA, ACR, but not a "TT". :dunno:

    Edmunds receives a 2015 Dodge Viper GT for a Long-Term Road Test

    It will probably be another BS review: the side sills are too hot, the blind spot is too big, the pedals are offset, the gas mileage is terrible........ I'm so sick of hearing the same BS in every review. My side sills have never burnt me, I can overcome the blind spot with mirror and...

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    Just so you guys know, I had some Pennzoil Ultra Platinum brought into the Lordco in North Vancouver. It cost me $170.00 taxes in for 12 quarts. When I get out to Vancouver next week I'll be putting that in the car. As a side note, the Napa in my town was going to charge me $250.00 for the...

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    Is anyone using the Pennzoil Ultra Platinum as recommended by Ralph Gilles and Chrysler, and if not, how come?

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    Just a follow up here. The RP is working fine in the transmission, and I believe the reverse "lock out" condition has been slightly improved, but it is hard to tell. It still locks me out every now and then, but as soon as I start to let up on the clutch and get the input shaft spinning it...

    Move to Gen V?

    I think the biggest question you have to ask is whether or not you are happy with the Gen IV? If you are happy with it, maybe it's not worth it. My style is more, get something different. I started with a Honda S2000, then thought, "Man, I'd really like a cool car to drive in the winter."...

    Poor Quality control issue

    Yeah, I was thinking complete removal with the hairdryer and some fishing line, but now that I think about it, you might not even have to do the "pull off" step. I'd just warm it up and twist it a bit to the right and see if that works.

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    Yep fair enough. Also, for those of you planning on doing this, you absolutely have to put in the "friction modifier" 4oz worth (assuming the fluid you are using doesn't already contain it), or you will get some very bad sounds happening from your diff at slow speeds with the wheel...

    Add my 14 GTS to the Heart attack list.

    Absolutely true. The dealership transferred the ownership of my GTS from the 1st owner to me immediately on purchase, and Chrysler has already sent me the R14 recall notice for my car. The warranty coverage is the same here in Canada. If anything in the powertrain fails between now and July...

    2013 GTS Canadian spec?

    My take is this: the amount of money saved by purchasing a Canadian Viper is offset by the hassels of importation (shipping, taxes etc.), modification, and warranty concerns. Be aware, the taxes paid on the purchase of the car vary from province to province. For example, if you purchase the...

    Transmission issues - wouldn't go into any gear!

    Keep us posted. I'm interested to see if the fluid switch helps. It seems to have improved my ability to get into reverse, but the problem hasn't entirely disappeared. My hope is it will improve over time, as a transmission specialist has suggested.

    Changed oil in transmission and diff.

    I did mine last weekend and was similarly surprised at the condition of the fluids with 2600 km (1,600 miles) on the car. The diff fluid in particular was pretty nasty looking. I'm in agreement. It's good preventative maintenance. Edit - I used Royal Purple Max ATF in the transmission, and...
