TSB's

[eliems]

The only info I got on my new car was that there were no outstanding recalls. Have many or most of you been through these Technical Service Bulletins and are there any that I should worry about?

The only one I'd be concerned with is the 999 recall. Most likely it has been done, so you should be good to go. Just about all of those TSB's are for the tech's to properly service your car. Like which power steering fluid to use, not to use a sealer in the A/C system, how to splice a wire they cut, how to service your fuel system, etc. None of them that you would need to worry about. Enjoy your car, and also join the VCA.

There is a piston ring re-call for early 2000 motors that you don,t have listed. The problem is that the rings never seated. If you car is using any oil it maybe a candidate. There are manufacture dates on the block. If they are late 99 manufacture Sept. to Nov check with a Good Viper dealer (if any are still around-- They closed all around me). If the dealer does not know what your talking about call some one else/like Woodhouse, he fixed mine
