    96-97 Window Switch

    Thought I would post this to help out. 98+ came with the more common window switch, but 96-97 had a different one. I was able to locate that the switch is the same used in 1990 Dodge Caravan. Found it here...

    Shift knob replacement on gen 1 car?

    So I noticed the shift knob was way too low for my liking. I wanted it elevated some. Found these and they work absolutely perfect. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N5TJT8X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Napa Green Antifreeze ok? 1997 Viper…

    I think its recommended to use Mopar Orange. After a lot of research, my 96 has run Dex Cool for the last 5 years. It get changed out every other year, and is cheap and readily available. Dex Cool seems to be GM's version of Mopar Orange. The corrosion possibility has scared me away from...

    Need Power Steering and Brake Fluid recommendations

    You are prob right as I am pretty sure both of my T56's have carbon blockers. I know the early Vettes and Vipers had some paper? I have heard to definitely do not run synthetic fluid in cars with paper blockers, but I could be wrong. Either way I have 80k on the Vette's rebuild due to 2nd...

    Bent Exhaust Valve - Again

    Is the damage to the piston warrant a new one? Just curious what you are doing there.

    Need Power Steering and Brake Fluid recommendations

    You're probably going to get a lot of different opinions. So get ready for it. Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one. He's what I'm running in 5 years of ownership: Oil - Mobile 1 0-40 - recommended weight in new Vipers, and IMO the best fit in the older guys as well. I like the...

    What did you do to your Viper today?

    Plan on heading to Nashville Cars and Coffee at the Nashville Speedway on Sunday. Weather should be cold but sunny at least.

    96 GTS Handling Issues

    Before I replaced the rear toe links my 96 felt similar to what you are describing. After replacing them and suspension bushings and a good alignment, car felt way different than before. Hope that helps.

    Anyone have a Rad laying around?

    If I remember correctly it was around $650 + shipping and tax I did hang on to my stock unit and can have it re-cored at some point in the future by a radiator shop, once I find a good one around middle TN. You could opt for an Aluminum unit but I found them more expensive, and worried about...

    Anyone have a Rad laying around?

    Got a Gen 2 myself, so not sure if its the same unit, but I went with a X2 Builders radiator. Stock fitment and has worked well the last 5 years its been installed.

    Running rough after a jump start

    So I do have a question related to this. Are Gen 2 Vipers battery eaters? Longest mine has lasted is 3 years, just out of the replacement warranty, but since then I'm on my 3rd. First was lead acid Napa, but the last 3 have been optima's replaced under warranty. I know I prob have a drain...

    Looking at options right now, I really appreciate the offer. Not an immediate need right now as this is an old used pump I replaced. Nothing wrong with the one on the GTS right now.

    Wanted water pump 2000 Gen-2 Viper

    Someone mentioned the guts out of a Gen 1 pump can be used to rebuild Gen 2s. Can anyone confirm this? And how would one do this? Would be good to know going forward in the future as these may continue to be hard to get.

    Gen 2 dash removal?

    I have done this and I did not find it overly difficult. There is a small trick to removing the head light switch, as you have to stick something in the hole in the bottom of the knob and it will slide off. The other thing I remember is to unscrew the tilt lever from the steering column after...

    Every Gen Viper tested........

    I saw that, pretty interesting. The 0-60 times were pretty close, and none matched what was advertised. Funny He picked the Gen 2 as his fav.

    New Radiator from X2Builders

    I put one in my GTS shortly after getting it in 2018. It was very similar to the stock radiator that came out, has performed well with no issues. As far as fitment, It fit really well. Most of the complaints come from the inlet and outlet necks not being aligned properly to fit. While it is a...
