Viper rear ends??????

[Jim Sullivan]

Do all Viper rear ends whine at certain speeds?

I think so. Mine does, the 93 I drove did, so did the 94. Might be more common to the gen1s?

I was told most all vipers have some degree of whine. However, my '99 was above the norm so I had the stock gears replaced with 3:55's. The new gears are quiet, better acceleration off the line and more functional in 5th and 6th gears.

Yes, kind of. More noticable in GTS.

Mine did. I changed the rear-end fluid with Redline Synthetic and 2 bottles of limited slip additive, and the whine is almost gone now.

Wow, lots of "stinky stuff"... the Red line already has the additive in it.... so you have a triple dose! I ran the red line in my '93's rear, it noticeably reduced the whine. DON'T use red line in your tranny though.

Redline cut my rear end noise in half!!!
