    Oil pressure - is 70-80psi normal?

    I have been noticing lately that my oil pressure is staying almost maxed out on the gauge. It fluctuates a little between whoa and go, but even after it warms up it still hangs in the high range. Is this normal? I never paid enough attention to it before to know if it has changed. It is...

    Exended work from home...what to do with the Viper?

    I may be leaving soon to go overseas on a 3 year work assignment in Abu Dhabi and wondering what I need to do with my car while I'm gone. I don't want to leave it in my garage for that long without it being ran periodically. Plus I live in the country and have to say there would be a rat...

    Headlight buckets

    Anybody know of a current good source for Gen 3 replacement headlight lenses/assemblies that aren't trying to rape you? Mine are heat cracked pretty bad and I tried one of those repair kits with the polish but it didn't help. New ones are like $600 and up each. Heck, I even saw some on a...

    Sideways through a ditch now car pulls hard right

    Dodged a deer last Saturday night, slid sideways through a ditch and back up onto the road without hitting anything, and now I'm afraid to know how much damage was done. The deer darted out, but I was too close to stop in time, so I thought I could hit the shoulder and beat it before it got to...

    Car almost caught fire!!

    I was out driving the other day and got in it pretty hard. When I got home and drove into my garage I noticed a weird smell. Not oil and not clutch, just weird. I raised the hood and could smell it more from the passenger side of the engine bay. Then I looked down and noticed smoke coming...

    Noises in steering and clutch

    From a previous post I mentioned I had a noise in my steering. When turning (usually only when the car is cold) there is a 'catch' and a 'bump' in the steering wheel and you can hear a semi-whine from the power steering lines when it happens. Almost like there is air in the lines. Now I am...

    Real hp guesstimate just for fun

    Anybody wanna take a stab to help me figure where I'm at in my build? I am curious to see what the opinions are. I haven't made it far yet, but I think I have enough to at least start bumping the numbers a little. Looking for either crank or rwhp guesses. This will also help me determine how...

    High flows installed...and other repairs

    I just finished installing the high flows. Thanks Cubican (still can't figure out where the shower curtain goes...)!! The sound is awesome! Can't wait to take it out tomorrow to meet with Broom and possibly other owners. I didn't get a sound clip yet because it's like 30 below freaking...

    SCT tuner or upgraded PCM

    I guess I got a little confused today. I was bored and starting searching the net for upgrades for my car to see what all is out there and ran across the SCT Tuner from ROE. I was under the impression the only way we could get a custom program was to buy a custom tuned PCM, or have our...

    Viper driving course nearby?

    Does anyone know of a good driving school that specializes in Vipers near to Baton Rouge? When I say "near" I'm good with a couple hundred mile radius. I think it would be fun plus I want my wife to get a safe, proper feel for how these cars can hurt you if you don't respect them. And to humble...

    Account settings has been reset. Why?

    My signature and avatar is no longer as I had it. It seems to have reverted back to the original. What happened?

    Cancer patient gets a dream ride

    http://m.wafb.com/wafb/newsResults.htm?t=viper I was actually in the process with a couple members on this site to make this happen. It looks like they found somebody before we could get all the details together. Broom, cubican, ViperJeff, and Bill Premberton are already in the know through...

    P0320 with no check engine light

    With the problem I am having with my ignition switch short, I noticed yesterday when I took it out that when I started it a code flashed in the odometer window. It didn't stay long enough for me to see it fully. So I did the key on, key off 3x to check for codes and it showed the P0320...

    PCM options...???

    I was just reading the post about the rip-off from RSI and it brought a question to mind. I was gonna put this in a reply to the other post, but thought it may be considered hijacking since I have other questions as well. For us fairly newbie Viper owners who don't know yet who to deal and...

    Mopar Performance (Borla) cat back install with sound

    So I bought the cat back from MP and installed it today. The kit was straightforward and simple. With a trip to town to get more T40 bits (dang Torx head bolts!) it took me about 4 hours total. The hardest part was removing all the stubborn to break Torx bolts and reaching the forward 10mm nut...

    Posting sound clips

    What is the best way to post sound clips on here? I will be using my Android phone to record. Not the best I know, but it's all I have right now. I am adding a Borla cat-back this weekend and I want to do a build thread with before and after clips. I will also try to post the step-by-step...

    Ignition switch short

    Lately I have been noticing when I go to start the car my ignition switch key has to be jiggled before the start button works. When you turn the key to the 2nd position (ON) you can see the gauges clicking on and off as you twist the key and you have to get all of them to stay on before it will...

    Hennessey 650 or 700R upgrades

    Does anyone have any experience/ advice/complaints on either of these kits? Is it worth the money or is there other upgrades that are better for less?

    Drivetrain clunk and when to do something

    As most of you know I just had a new trans installed. I have put about 400 miles on it since I got it back, including a 250 mile round trip, and everything seems fine. I was driving the other day with the top up, which I seldom do, and I noticed noises I hadn't heard before. One was the...

    Steering issue

    I noticed today that when I turn my tires all the way to the left and then start back to the right, about 1/4 way just before straight, there is a stumble and an audible sound. You can feel it in the steering wheel and hear the pump 'cavitate' a little. This is with the car sitting still but...

    Oil, water, and other maintenance questions

    What is the general rule for performing maintenance when your car only sees a couple thousand miles a year? The maintenance schedule in the owner's manual is stated in a 'miles/time' frequency. So if you only put, let's say, 1000 miles on the car but you reach the 3 year mark, do you really...

    Door trim piece

    I am missing a plastic trim piece that goes along the top of my dirver's door panel. It's about 1" wide and the length of the top of the panel and sits just inside the rubber window gasket/wiper. It would be under your arm if you were driving with your arm on the top of the door with the...

    Black chrome wheels

    Does anyone have any pics of a Viper with black chrome wheels? I have severe curb rash on the stock '03 chrome wheels and may be looking to buy a different set. I like the black chrome on some vehicles, but with a black car I'm not sure how they would look. I do like the contrast the bright...

    Air pressure???

    What psi are you running for normal everyday type driving? I have the Michelin Pilot Super Sports. It says 50 psi max pressure(usually that means to seat the beads, I think) and I am running at 40psi. I don't drive it enough to tell if there is abnormal wear, but wanted to check what I should...

    Curb rash repair???

    Anyone know of a proven DIY process to fix curb rash? I can't remember who made it, but I saw a product the other day that looked like a form of Bondo for chrome. It had brief instructions on the back of the package, which of course made it look easy. Prep the wheel, apply the goop,pre-shape...
