I think “scammed” is a little overstated. Sounds like regular service on an older car.
I agree.
Yep. This is a minimum shopping list for any car I buy unless it's brand new.
5 minutes in and I was done.
Click bait title for sure.
Jacks don't just die. It either needs jack oil or it needs a seal kit. I have a 40 year old and 30 year old Craftsman floor jacks and both got their jack oil topped off at least once.
You must have missed Sam Crac’s Dodge Viper Truck video. He had a problem with his cheap spark plugs of the same brand.
Was just thinking about that
Problems are part of the deal, I also bought my car with a few problems, but fixed them and now is super fine!
The jack did not die it just needed jack oil
More viper videos!!! Great job Randy. Appreciate the content
VIPER 👍👍👍
you just said 100%synthetic blend! im confused
Great job Randy. I can’t wait for the valve cover gasket change.
That was a major chore lol
I have had about every american car made and most foreign but I really have enjoyed the viper stuff, you are earning my respect by tackling some of these cars by yourself like the Tesla. We all have our limits, but most people do not have the balls to tear in to the cars you do. Keep it up I am starting to warm up to your channel from your comedy with Monkey Wrench Mike to the serious stuff like the tesla.
Thats the problem with this cars people only sell them when they already been super abused. Than the next buyer needs to fix all the problems.
That car doesn't even appear abused. Usually the issue with these is people don't drive them much so you have to do maintenance based on time rather than mileage. All the stuff he's doing is replacement of wear items that go out with age.
Over 40k miles and never did anything put put gas in it! Sounds like my Ex-Wife!!! Of course, she wouldn't have put the gas in either, if I didn't ignore it long enough so she had no choice.
Thats not the date code, thats the DOT marking. The date code is 4 numbers with the first 2 being the week; the last 2, the year. So 1014 would be the 10th week of 2014.
A work colleague had a Gen 1 with an incredibly low 5500 miles on it. The maintenance costs involved to maintain it so that he could take it to a car show once or twice a year was insane. Finding a Dealership with a Certified Viper mechanic was super challenging and the access to repair the thing was nuts! Can't remember all the details BUT he had a coolant leak that resulted in the motor needing to be pulled so that a 4" piece of rad hose could be replaced. Something like 6K Canadian ....? He sold it and bought a much later (newer) Viper that he drives all summer and has a blast with it. 😊 Don't forget Randy your Viper is pushing 20 years old and although mileage is low it is "time" that starts to eat rubber and gaskets etc. Still a very cool car though my friend .... as they say if you want to PLAY you gotta PAY it seems?
No. You have to do your own work or take it to a Viper tech (Best in Canada is Raceway Dodge in Etobicoke). Engine doesn't need to be pulled very often in this car especially not for a coolant leak. Gen 1's have paper head gaskets from the factory. They will all fail eventually.
@@AdamMayo-mq2bd as it wasn't my car I really can't recall the fine details. But as best as I remember it was a coolant leak buried close to the firewall down low that couldn't be accessed any other way but to pull the motor? Wish I knew more info for you but sadly it was quite sometime ago now and the ole noggin is going mushy? LOL, I almost feel like the Dealer you mention is where it went as he was from the Brampton/ Mississauga area. I remember he was new to the company and I was training him. He was super nervous to ask but it was looking like rain and he was nervous they would leave it out without the windows installed as they were of course plastic/ canvas windows. I just wanted to see the car so I said sure let's go pick it up and run it home and then get back to work! LOL, he looked relieved .... 😌
@@goleafsgo8496 The Viper tech at Raceway is the Vice prez of the Ontario Viper Club. He went over my Viper last month and only works on them since 2004. I doubt it was that one :) . Most shops wont touch these cars nowadays. If they cant bolt something on or diag with a scanner most places wont touch anything these days. If its not easy and they have to actually use there brain your SOL!
You've probably figured it out at this point, but you get to the battery through the trunk. Lift up the carpet and there's a cover panel you have to remove, and it lifts out through the top. Pretty simple.
Car was obviously owned by someone who either (1):couldn’t afford to maintain it or (2): was rich enough to not give a 💩.
Probably. One of the issues with Vipers is a lot of owners let them sit a lot. Therefore you need to service them based on time rather than mileage. I bought a Viper earlier this year and it only had 32K miles on it, but I'm pretty sure all the fluids except the oil were original (on a 19 year-old car). I had to replace a couple gaskets that were just old and started seeping.
Randy my 2003 Passat W8 takes 10 quarts! 😮 I totally feel your pain! Fantastic video by the way Buddy! ❤
I had a truck tractor that took 44 quarts of oil and two oil filters each service! 😊
Also might want to do something about that radiator hose that’s rubbing on the lower control arm.
Best I can find Is those back tires are 2017 drag radials. Also the exhaust on those vipers are done that way for the sound and backpressure so the engine runs smother. Great video man. Can't wait to see more.
Yep sometimes a good quality oil and filter can make all the difference with a noisy engine.
Finally, I see vise grips on a strut on this channel.
I wouldn't be paying that for a wiper blade i'd be changing the arms from another car to accommodate normal blades.
Oh, if you're taking a bolt from like the intake or something out, take a rare earth magnet and break it and stick a tiny piece inside your socket. It will hold the bolt for you.
I bought a 2012 Lexus LS460 from copart 114,000 mi. for $3500 with mechanical damage. Showroom condition inside and out. Come to find out it was SEVERELY NEGLECTED. Valve cover and oil pan gaskets non existent, misfire every cylinder spark plugs and coil packs, upper and lower control arm bushings gone, both wheel bearings shot, motor mounts done, brakes pad rotor and 2 calipers shot, and more. I ordered everything I needed from ROCK AUTO for a total of $900. ROCK AUTO HAS A CLEARENCE SECTION FOR EVERY MAKE AND MODEL AND I SAVES LOTS! I PAID $18.00 EACH FOR ROTORS. .....I WILL NEVER GO TO A PARTS STORE IF I DONT HAVE TOO. oh....also everything came in 3 days.
Yesss I love rock auto
I just went through my wife’s 2015 Camry and yes rock auto was awesome spark coil packs oxygen sensors brakes parts stores was charging me 3 x the amount
Randy is right, cheapest doesn't mean a good buy....nevermind, a lesson learnt for tomorrow
Anything unusually cheap should raise red flags. Doesn’t mean great deals aren’t available.
It's essentially a good car, just needs a few jobs. At least he'll know it's all been done properly
Amsoil and that OEM filter made the difference.
I would think the spark plugs were more of the issue when it comes to chatter than the oil. But who knows.
I use ams oil on my S600. I love it, but it's just too expensive for me.
Why in gods name would you think you have to change the coil packs when you change the spark plugs i have yet to change a coil when when I change a plug been a mechanic for 45 years unless the coil takes a shit ( love ya lol )😂
Great video! Good luck with this one. I know I wouldn’t hang on to it very long. I wouldn’t change the struts due to the huge expense.
The easy way to do the battery- pull up the driver side of the trunk floor carpet and you'll see a metal hatch. A few screws and pop that hatch out - there's your battery.
Welcome to the gen3 family!
Steal of a deal ? Buying from a dealer, you were born yesterday? those sharks know what they're doing
You’re an idiot
@AutoAuctionRebuilds insulting your viewers now?
You've got quite the fragile ego there, boy.
Metinks a lil' bit of success doth mess with your simple mind
You know what they say about pride coming before the hard fall
Don't be that fool
Great upgrade
Headers and direct exhaust
Exhaust wrap a must wont burn your leg
Factory exhaust loops under seats which is why car is hot to ride in.
PS i own 3 of them
You should try looking at 97-03 f150
I remember the red one and the Harley Davidsons you had years ago, that’s when I started watching your channel ⚡️⚡️
Just bought a 2003 with 28 K on it. I will be giving it a thorough once over as well. Run and drives great currently. I love all GENs of Vipers for different reasons.
Great job!! Look forward to the next one
That’s where rubber mallet comes in handy! Give the socket wrench few smacks on handle and anything will loosen! Saves your palms
Hey Randy keep doing what you do bro love the channel
Check out ed gasket , top shelf, production values Randy need to watch it also
I have used nothing but amsoil and royal purple in my performance vehicles!! There is a huge difference in the outcome. Definitely worth every penny. I'm glad to see your doing her with justice
His goofiness is what brings me back 😂😂
Dripping off the engine? 😂 You should see my equinoxs valve cover leak. I don't even have to change my oil it changes itself 🤣
Lift supports (hood/trunk/hatch/etc) are consumables- All of them. I always found it ridiculous that some people think less of cars that have non-OEM consumables.
The third generation Viper is somewhat under-appreciated but probaby the best value. The first/second generation are the most "raw" and orginal, and a lot of them were wrecked, so nice, low-mileage, clean title examples are getting harder to find and prices are going up. The fourth generation looks just like the third, but has more power and the improved transmission. Combine that with the rarity of being produced only two years and that drives prices higher. The 5th generation has the appeal of being the last Viper and they were made in very limited numbers since they didn't sell when new.
Meanwhile, the third generation is a lot easier to live with than a gen 1/2, more powerful, and plenty of good examples are available in the 40-50K range, which makes them around 25K cheaper or more cheaper than a 4th gen, and well under under the six-figure price of of a 5th gen.
Sorry about getting your name wrong BTW!
This is excellent, please keep them coming!
Well done staying away from that oil additive snake oil nonsense.
Yes the Motor Oil Geek had done a whole video testing the oil additives on the market today and many actually degrade the original oil. 😮😮😮😮😢😢😢😢
Hello Randy. Fixing the 2019 Dodge Viper. Changing the sparkplugs. Then working on stuff underneath the car.
Copper plugs offer the most efficient spark. They need changed about every oil change or every other oil change is why they are no longer used. Its very common for people to run a copper plug on the track
Also alot of O2 sensor have lubricant on them its not necessarily been used! Im a parts guy i seen them everyday like that
Hey, Randy Alex from legit street cars has a dealer. He's a dealer for amz oil and he gets. You can get it through him for like 10 or 15% off. Love your show. Love your viper you're the best
First time watching - I'd get a light for those dark places. 1:50 Shine the light on the dark places. We'll be able to see.
The most bang for the buck is a C5 Corvette, the clean ones still look great
I always thought the T56 took ATF, not gear oil. I know the one in my 95 Firebird Formula did
It does but Amsoil found this oil helps it last longer and smoother.
Typically, but there was a recommendation on this generation of Vipers to switch to gear oil to quiet complaints of transmission noise.
I wouldn’t say you got scammed. You get what you pay for
Yeah, it's not like there were horrible problems that were concealed. It just needed some deferred maintenance. Based on values currently in the market, he'll come out ahead by doing the work himself.
The stock exhaust is a snake pit so as to make the V10 not sound like a school bus.
Totally not related to cars but congrats to your hometown hero Richard Goodall. He put your childhood town (Indiana) on the map! Very humble people out there Randy!
Thanks for showing how to remove the sparkplugs.
Randy, glad to see you given a viper some TLC it definitely was neglected. Damn definitely have your work cut out for you. Do they sell tires for the viper on that tire easy website? The sound of the V10 awesome! Wow the plugs are nasty surprised it ran. Alex from LSC loves amsoil!
TY once again Randy.
Gracias Randy , que buen video 👍
great video, i didn´t miss any minute
Hey Randy..those engine from Dodge recommend a special spark plug socket which is much longer in depth..good video anyway.
8:40 wait til you find out how much your Ram’s tires cost 😂
Can't be more than the vipers lol.
I usually only change LS coils when they've actually failed. I'm not sure about Chrysler but the oe GM stuff usually goes over 300,000 miles trouble free.
Fresh plugs and OE or quality plug wires and valve cover gaskets & you should be good to go.
I am thinking the spark plugs had something to do with the chatter. The gap could affect its running smoothness. 😊
I was going to say remove those heat shields brother and it will be a lot easier on you....lesson learned......Stay Up, Hard and Healthy......🔥🔥❤️👍🏽💯
It sounds realy nice tho randy she really does man you'll have it running as it should and im sure that it will be as it should be when you're done with finishing everything on the viper i know your having to spend money on the car but man it looks a very nice looking car fella i think its a very good looking car for real randy once its had done everything it needs to be on top form including them tyres im sure youl have some fun with that viper randy l love the look of it and it looks bloody amazing i think thats a hell of a car in my mind stunning, just amazing considering that its got very low milage that you have yo do quite s bit of work to it but i guess thats one of the reasons you had it for the price you did maybe man and the wotkbyour doing its your time and parts its costing plus you know in the back of your mind then whats done and what isn't done i suppose then you know what needs to be done in time then really randy once you've done all that work to it, man itd definitely a good looking car man for sure!. ✨👑✨👌✨👍👍👍✨
Unfortunately just normal maintenance stuff including tires .. Parts are in the German car range price wise
Advance auto has some behind the counter some spark plug sockets with a magnet in silicone and a built in rotary extension
Thanks for the consistent car content and not straying into the This Old House and e-bike distractions that many RUclips competitors have suffered from that I have unsubscribed from.
Randy did a couple e-scooters awhile ago, I didn't mind!
Well, sometimes it’s not meant to be. But keep your head up, we love your content Randy!!! But at times you realize it’s not meant to be, and that there’s issues.
Randy, this is an exciting rebuild.
The battery is accessed on an 03 from the trunk by lifting the carpet and removing a few bolts very easy and it should be the same for your 05 I would think. You don’t need to remove the tire and the wheel well.
Every time I I see one of your Viper videos it reminds me of my 1999 Dodge Avenger Sport V6 with only 32000 on the odometer that unfortunately I regret selling. The front looked similar to the Vipers front bumper grill that People used to think it was a Viper and would take Pictures of her😲
I personally love this generation of vipers. I really like mopart from the 90s into the early. Late 00's as in most 2012
Looks like the last owner neglected servicing the poor girl shame man Randy put her through rehab Lol fix her up but it is also age related issues needs a thorough going through
LOL my wifes 2018 dodge journey 4 cyl took copper spark plugs also. I switched them to the iridium with no problem.
Randy is correct on the
Fluids Chrysler interchange, their fluids, power, steering transmission, etc. they do that on purpose
The windshield wiper blades on the viper look like a very similar design to the ones that the Australian Holden VE commodore uses
You can replace those rubber seals on them floor jacks
my dream car, except the coupe would be top choice. consider wrapping the side pipes to cut down on heat into the cabin
Oh Randy I have been looking forward to seeing the Viper and your video certainly did not disappoint! Love your videos keep up the great work
I think you should put some anti-sieze on the spark plug threads before installation.
48:17 so what you are saying is, if you ever find yourself (for whatever reason) going trough a gravel roadon your Viper.
you will find your arse crack full of sand? 🤣
Holy Crap! That Viper was rode hard and put away wet! That is not a cheap car to own. WOW!
Compared to most exotics it is pretty cheap and not demanding when it comes to service. It's fairly easy to service and work on. The main issue is that some parts are difficult to find and/or expensive, and maintenance can get neglected because most of them sit and don't get driven enough. Tires can also eat you alive if you drive a lot or are undisciplined when it comes to the loud pedal lol.
Yeah, so don't listen to the forums. No one EVER needs to change copper plugs every 10k miles. They don't know what they are saying
someone should tell you that you can buy the wipers other then the dealership because my ford edge and my ford fusion has the simlar wiper blades walmart around me sells the ones for my fusion but the one for my edge i have to go to the dealership because walmart did not have my size i needed its called unversal adapeter wiper blades come with them if you look for the right ones
Wow 7 years. I still remember ubernan
How to stop nuts and bolts from falling.......invest in magnetic sockets
I had a v10
Dodge 3500 that has an small
Head gasket leak from
Water jacket to cylinder.
Maybe you have one because of oxygen sensor error, and a swollen hose . Maybe check the spark plugs on bank one . 12:14
39k? .39cents is still too much.
Another RUclips r tard
19:36 we have the same jack. Great jack
Best oil on the market
Man I really want one of these I just need to save up but doing reaserch don’t want to make a financial mistake
You need a chest or head mount lol and idk why, this is one of my favorite Viper designs
Randy don’t the sellers of vehicles have to disclose what’s wrong with a vehicle?
If im not mistaken he get it on a red light as is where is sale no warranty
It’s also so they can get more money and people will buy it
Many states don't require that. Also, if I remember correctly, he bought this car at auction, which doesn't disclose issues.
if a classic is cheap, its for a reason, Your gambling that the reason is fixable and doesnt break the bank. People arent just selling classic cars cheaply for the hell of it.
How did you get scammed on the viper. For the age pretty normal stuff to replace.
I love rock auto. Great prices on parts but their shipping is insanely expensive. After shipping it is usually just cheaper to buy local
Nice to make it a bit better👍
what scan tool you using , does that do deep scans an module coding etc on vipers and does it do the same for bmw, audi ?
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Viper my friend..Have always loved them since the first topless roadster.I want to take the time to say that i appreciate the dedication and detail that you put in to your videos and the quality, it shows.. Keep up the Awesome videos Randy.. You Da Man..
Just thinking about Car Wizard he had a different year with side pipes 54:32
Could it have been a spark knock from the bad gapped plugs?
