April and I talk about the new Lamborghini Huracan replacement, and slept in the most haunted hotel in America: ruclips.net/video/F9dLgQx1F1s/видео.html --Give it a watch on my NEW CHANNEL and let me know what you think! The car content is never going to stop, but after 8 years, I wanted to try something new, and I'm really enjoying it so far! I'll answer as many comments on the other video as I can.
For only $1300 more (plus labor), I’d just go with the new shocks and not have to worry about how hard the used set was driven. Or shop around for aftermarket.
It would be about $2k more. That $4,000 number Wizard said was just for parts. and the $2750 used number included install. But I agree. I wouldnt do used either way
Hey Hoovie, i recently picked up an 04 Viper a few months ago and have been loving it. The stock shocks are known to leak and cause the poor ride. I switched to a set pf BC Racing coilovers for $1400 and the car rides perfectly now. Absolutely love these cars!
This is exactly what I was thinking..... Instead of used shocks and struts..... But then he would complain the ride is harsh..... Some people can accept aftermarket parts are sometimes a trade-off, while others aren't willing to compromise,(or just want to whine about it on the internet)....and they aren't Giving up ride quality for performance handling. I still remember trying to sell a EF hatch Honda with a b18, but it has polyurethane front end, link style strut rod, and tein coilovers. Everyone who test drove it said, "it rides like shit" Until one guy showed up and said, "this thing is so responsive, like a gocart....." It just depends on what you want to do.
Former owner of a 2003 and 2013 Viper heres. Nice purchase, needs a little TLC. That oil seepage is most likely the oil cooler line - an issue from the Gen 3 onward. Both of mine did it, as they all do sooner or later. If you replace them with OEM lines, will do it again. There are aftermarket alternative which won't.
Yupp going to to replace the lines on my gen v this winter. Other wise this car hasn’t skipped a beat in the 20k miles of abuse I’ve given it. Oh and the stupid crappy window regulators
Always love when people change out factory parts that eat shit with factory parts..... "I use only factory parts on my car!", you didn't learn the first time it failed at 20k miles? lol
@loomspace he bought it at an auction. There's an element of gambling in his defence. Plus his main defence is that he's getting rich by making videos of his 'errors'
You can get a set of BC coil overs for it for under $1.500.00 and really improve the suspension so you can have adjustable height and compression/rebound. Once the Wizzard has the new cats on I'd have someone re-tune it.
That exhaust is supposed to crossover in the rear. Left side engine exits on the right and vice/versa. There is also a small crossover pipe to equalize the sound (like an H pipe). Just doing that alone will make the existing exhaust sound better!
I do love the Wizards dry humor. "Yeah the shocks are 1k each, see were closing in on the snake" LOL 10K. You guys are great together. Never stop, just keep on keeping on, I do love these repaire quote segments.
Yeah or in one of the previous videos about his farm hoovie asked "what should i plant here" and wizard was like "i would tell you but its illegal" or something among those lines😂😂😂
self employed so its just what he declares as earnings, so if he keeps it all in the business it doesn't count. A farm is a business property...he's not that silly.@@definitelyannpc2038
People forget the viper was Carroll Shelby's bonkers creation when Dodge finally took the leash off him & his team. It's going to feel raw and unrefined. It was 100% meant to be, just like the AC Cobra cars. Sledgehammer for the track. Total F.U. power on tap (keep in mind the era and how slow cars were then). We're spoiled by today's offerings in this modern golden age of horsepower and it takes away from the experience of older legend/hero cars. Enjoy the car for what it is, and not what you think it should be.... after fixing the prior owner's eff-ups, of course. lol
Have to say, you can hear both banks individual, and revving it sounds just like the volvo inline 5 without a muffler, which sound pretty good in my oppinion, although it needs some mufflers
You can buy BC coilovers for the car! They’re around $1400 or so for the gen 3 my car came with them from factory. Also for tires I highly suggest the kumho ecsta ACR tires. Hook up insanely well! Makes me extremely happy you got a gen 3! I got mine now 3 years ago and it’s such a dream (with its issues) Giving the gen 3 the love it deserves! Fun fact- without the GEN 3 there would be no SLS AMG. If you look at the test car for the SLS it’s basically a long viper, and that same design inspired the AMG GT! You have 2 of the best cars that came out with the Daimler Chrysler group haha
Well, if you want more horsepower, you can make it. How much do you want to spend? It's 512 cubic inches, so almost 1 hp/cubic inch - and reliable all day long. If you want to turbocharge your wimpy 4-cylinder and feel superior, go right ahead.
Get new shocks for double the price and keep ip for a few years. Remember, there won't be any new V10 engines coming out at decent prices untill sustainable fuel becomes cheap, if ever!
Not that you will pay this any attention but i put BC racing coilovers on mine when that time came along was way better deal with labor and parts it was 3850.00 less expensive and actually felt tighter and better rode than the OEM did and unless there's a hidden issue put a tube in that front tractor tire i have a small farm 765 acers and we have a couple of tractors 6 of them one has tracks so it doesn't count but unless you have checked tractor tires are not a minimum cost by any means and unless they have a big gaping hole or have no cleats left or have dry rotted so bad there 0:11 flying apart we tube, patch, slime or tireject them its not like your doing 70mph on them in a curve or something they are traction tires as long as they have traction cleats and hold wind its all good

Depends also on the owner. I see 2020-2021 vehicles that are already rusting out cause every road in my state gets salted once the snow hits and maybe said former owner said screw it and drove it in winter.
@@thesovietvorona1007 Yeah I know. It's amazing. They can start rusting while still sitting on the dealer lots. Somebody told me it's because Chrysler paint sucks. The person who told me that works at Chrysler's paint shop.
@@Xplasma1 that’s not the only reason. Worked at an oil shop for a year. I’ve seen winter dailies that are forty with no frame rust (Volvo mostly) and new barely off the lot vehicles like F-150s already getting rust started.

If they still made things how they did before the idea of monopolizing an entire market existed we’d have cars that lasted for more than a decade. Let alone a few decades or more.
@@Xplasma1I can vouch for that, I've never been overly impressed with my new chrystler's paint jobs but for some reason I keep buying them.. thankfully I don't live in a salt state so I don't have to worry about that.

I will say atleast it's better then the paint from the 90s which had a habit of just falling off
I'm not a fan of black sports cars. They get very hot in the sun. A Viper should be red or green. Glad to hear that the exhaust is a simple fix. Anyone else notice the beautiful Alfa at 9:50? I wonder who's Alfa Romeo 75/Milano is in the shop. It's one of my dream cars. Thanks.
$800 for an oil change/fluids? 11 quarts of engine oil, gearbox oil, and differential oil. I get my full synthetic oil at Walmart for $21 per 5 quarts, so about $45 there. Trans and differential fluid plus friction modifier - maybe another $50 for those fluids. Where's the other $700 coming from? Buy the fluids and get your new chippy to do it for you; she seems up for it...
You're a tad light on your prices, but the bill does seem expensive. A local indy shop quoted me $200 to change the oil in my BMW Z4 a decade ago. Nope. I made some ramps out of 2x10s and I've been doing my own oil changes on everything, since. Between 4 vehicles, I've saved thousands.
@@richieduck67 Viper takes 4 quarts of synthetic ATF+4 is about $8/quart/$32. 1.5 quarts of gear oil plus friction modifier. Hoovie is getting beaten either way.
Omg! Never thought Wizard would be on MorphMarket hahaha. I keep snakes so that was a funny unexpected surprised! GTPs are very beautiful for sure. Not easy to keep tho haha
My 2004 Viper is such a treat (and tastefully modded). I think this is the best value sports car that has held value so well. Enjoy and it's cool to see a car I own on the channel 🐍
I want that gen viper. They’re crazy cool and reliable plus they’re cheaper than like a new mustang dark horse or any other new car with 500HP. Super underrated car
I've owned more than a dozen Corvettes. I got a wild hair years ago and test-drove a couple of Vipers. I couldn't believe those things were street-legal. The tires broke loose when given the slightest bit of gas. The car is so wide, it fully takes up half the road, leaving no room for error. As a bonus, the car is bare bones with no modern amenities. For all this, you get to pay a huge premium.
I love that he always makes it seem like he was screwed over by the person he bought it from. Like everyone's a professional mechanic and knows anything about how a car works, and purposefully leaves out info. I bet everyone he buys from watches these and is like, "how would I know that? I'm an accountant."
@@mirthenary I was making a funny because every Gen beat the previous out of the box! Also don't all the fast 2nd gens have 5th Gen engines? 😂 If you haven't caught on yet, I'm being am asshole..... However then again, I'm not wrong 🤔
Good friend of mine has a 3rd Gen Viper and I love that thing. It's so brash and savage, it's one of the most insane cars I've ever been in, though he also has the V8 Ariel Atom and I rode in that right after the Viper and it scrambled my brain.
I'd really like to see that Viper sorted. Those shocks are a rediculus price. Are there any after-market shocks that can do the job just as well or better for aa whole lot less money?
I considered buying this gen Viper post-COVID when I was looking for a weekend toy. The torque is intoxicating. Got my 06 911 S instead. Living in Arizona at the time with the great mountain twisties was the tipping point.
Wow! great to see the Alfa Romeo Milano (75 here in the uk) in the shop. I had one of these back in the 90s a 3.0 V6 a fantastic car wish I still had it. But here in the UK they are so rare now you just don't see them.
Ummm Hoovie when they made this viper, where they still making the dodge Durango, as the first gen vipers just lifted their suspension purely from the durango, like cross check the codes, it might still be the case, as this is why on the first gen ones, you can actually put the rims and tires of that on them and it'll work if you need some cheap snowtires.
The new channel is a great idea. I'm subscribed and have watched the first two episodes and like everything with one exception. April needs to meet my cat Thomas to change her opinion of cats
More work for Omega, David will be happy! You seem to have a knack of buying cars with plenty of issues. spending a fortune fixing them and then selling the car. At least you keep Omega in work.
It’s, by far, the goofiest-looking Viper. I imagine a 1932 Chev coupe hot rod is hell to drive but it’s iconic - as is the first gen viper. Let me tell you what I’m looking for in a viper… not “refined”.
16:05 Yepppp one of the Viper wheels themselves you'll be lucky to get it for under $800... as for shocks had on to your hatsssss. and the prices for the other vehicles that you can use from a Viper makes zero sense. Wheels: same bolt pattern different offset as the 97-04 Dakotas/Rango
good video, lost it in the middle a little with the lambo tractor stuff, but brought it back with the viper prices and the ending changeup was good too, cuts off abrutly though
I can't believe there aren't aftermarket GOOD shocks for that car. Just a quick check I found Aidan (which I don't know, so can't judge if they're ok or not) that does coilover kit front+rear for that very car for 1700USD...
. . Dunlop tyres are the worst . . I had Dunlops on my RS6 when I bought it and the car would easily lose traction in the wet in the UK even though its has Quattro 4WD . . after 1 year the fronts were going so I fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around and god what a difference ! . . stuck to road in the dry and the wet . . and they have lasted 3 years . .
I would venture to guess that the exhaust mod is what causing an entire bank to flow improperly. Replace the exhaust it will also properly solve the problem with the other five cylinders.
BC Racing coilovers for the Viper are $1,400 for the set. Not saying that the exact way to go about it but since the car is already modified I'd consider koni or bilstein shocks or a medium quality coilover kit.
Man I remember the resale on these use to be AWFUL! They didn't hold their value at all. In 07-08 you could find low mileage 03-06 Vipers for 35-40k. Sounds crazy to even type that now.
Hoovie out here describing the 2004 Viper and either not knowing or forgetting that MB GMbH bought Chrysler/ Dodge the year before and stole their new Viper design for the MB SLS66AMG leaving Dodge to scramble and redesign the Viper from scratch.
Accidental purchase. Don’t you hate when you trip and your wallet falls out allowing your credit card to topple into the card slot of the payment terminal. Then as you grasp to stop your fall your fingers hit the exact PIN number and suddenly you own something new. Happens to me far too often. Especially at the Apple Store. Damn smooth floors!

Saw BC coilovers were cheaper than used shocks. Ordered those instead!
Had them on my 3rd gen and was really happy with them.
Also for the rears you can get Kumho ecsta v720 acr, which are 335/30zr19 that stay really planted for about 470, per. Best tire I put on my 3rd gen.
For only $1300 more (plus labor), I’d just go with the new shocks and not have to worry about how hard the used set was driven. Or shop around for aftermarket.

It just depends on what you want to do.
Basically already has coilovers. I have BCs on my gen 1. Check on prices for those. Very adjustable.
I don’t know why aftermarket shocks are always too hard. I would love to fit better suspension than stock but could never live with the ride.
I don't think I would install used shocks. I'd check out aftermarket options from Bilstein or another well known name.

Omg! Never thought Wizard would be on MorphMarket hahaha. I keep snakes so that was a funny unexpected surprised! GTPs are very beautiful for sure. Not easy to keep tho haha
My 2004 Viper is such a treat (and tastefully modded). I think this is the best value sports car that has held value so well. Enjoy and it's cool to see a car I own on the channel 🐍
I want that gen viper. They’re crazy cool and reliable plus they’re cheaper than like a new mustang dark horse or any other new car with 500HP. Super underrated car
make that tractor purdy there farmer hoovie! it would look sooo cool all freshened up!
I've owned more than a dozen Corvettes. I got a wild hair years ago and test-drove a couple of Vipers.
I couldn't believe those things were street-legal. The tires broke loose when given the slightest bit of gas.
The car is so wide, it fully takes up half the road, leaving no room for error.
As a bonus, the car is bare bones with no modern amenities. For all this, you get to pay a huge premium.
I love that he always makes it seem like he was screwed over by the person he bought it from. Like everyone's a professional mechanic and knows anything about how a car works, and purposefully leaves out info. I bet everyone he buys from watches these and is like, "how would I know that? I'm an accountant."
It’s for entertainment. He doesn’t bug the seller with any of the drama entertainment content as far as we’ve seen.
You cant believe that even accounts defer scheduled maintenance? Believe it
I kinda feel like we were all meeting up for beers and pizza and that one friend brings their girl to the bar..
In the world of Vipers, nothing beats the second gen
except every gen after it 🤣😂
@@commonsenseisdeadandgone just because a band released a good album, doesn't mean all their albums are good
@@mirthenary I was making a funny because every Gen beat the previous out of the box!
Also don't all the fast 2nd gens have 5th Gen engines? 😂
If you haven't caught on yet, I'm being am asshole..... However then again, I'm not wrong 🤔
@@mirthenary just because a band released a good song, doesn't mean the album is good.
A "good album" is a stretch.... Nowadays for sure.
You know what they say about ASSumptions...Gen 2s cannot be topped. Ive had all Gens aside from G3 and cant get enough Gen 2 RT10. They rock
Good friend of mine has a 3rd Gen Viper and I love that thing. It's so brash and savage, it's one of the most insane cars I've ever been in, though he also has the V8 Ariel Atom and I rode in that right after the Viper and it scrambled my brain.
Hoovie having an insane midlife crisis rn. I love it
This is my favorite kind of Hoovie. Dealing with sketchy and expensive cars.
I definitely second the thought that you should dyno the Viper and show power gains over stock!
Probably the least obnoxious the gizzard has been for a while. Give us the Ninja.
These are some of the most reliable sports cars. They are truly bulletproof. Even more so than a corvette. And extremely cheap and easy to work on.
Man those old Chrysler interiors were something. That manual shifter couldn't look more out of place. 😂
Love the tractor. I'd fix it up to be a runner and then slowly fix it up obviously new tires and gold Dayton wheels first lol.
I'd really like to see that Viper sorted. Those shocks are a rediculus price. Are there any after-market shocks that can do the job just as well or better for aa whole lot less money?
Definitely a trade up, Tyler…and the Viper is ok, too…😂
A really great video on a car that needs some upgrading either new parts. Hoovie is back on fire and April is a wonderful addition. Go for it
Love the 3rd gen, excellent looking cars. Look forward to you fixing this one.
You should consider preserving the lambo tractor as is. The patina is cool and it'll be less expensive
I considered buying this gen Viper post-COVID when I was looking for a weekend toy. The torque is intoxicating. Got my 06 911 S instead. Living in Arizona at the time with the great mountain twisties was the tipping point.
You should upgrade to a new set of Coilover suspension. They’ll have a a warranty and make the car feel way more stable
Wow! great to see the Alfa Romeo Milano (75 here in the uk) in the shop. I had one of these back in the 90s a 3.0 V6 a fantastic car wish I still had it. But here in the UK they are so rare now you just don't see them.
Always find the 6 lugs to be so odd on a small sports car
Have you ever seen a Dodge Viper in person?
They can hardly be considered a "SMALL" sports car and a more akin to supercars.
@@williamegler8771a 911 is longer than a viper. The viper hood proportions makes the car look large
@@williamegler8771a 2004 Mustang, for example, is almost a foot longer than this Viper
The wizard must rub his hands together when he sees you coming😂😂
Ummm Hoovie when they made this viper, where they still making the dodge Durango, as the first gen vipers just lifted their suspension purely from the durango, like cross check the codes, it might still be the case, as this is why on the first gen ones, you can actually put the rims and tires of that on them and it'll work if you need some cheap snowtires.
U need to let ur crush to drive it
The new channel is a great idea. I'm subscribed and have watched the first two episodes and like everything with one exception. April needs to meet my cat Thomas to change her opinion of cats
Was there never an update to this video?
More work for Omega, David will be happy!
You seem to have a knack of buying cars with plenty of issues.
spending a fortune fixing them and then selling the car.
At least you keep Omega in work.
It’s, by far, the goofiest-looking Viper. I imagine a 1932 Chev coupe hot rod is hell to drive but it’s iconic - as is the first gen viper. Let me tell you what I’m looking for in a viper… not “refined”.
I was kinda thinking about checking out your other channel....but yup there is a "D" in the background so as a Trek fan the answer is an emphatic yes.
i LOVE a classic Hoovie rescue - idgaf about the morning show stuff tho lol
Nice that Wizard jumped to the hyper car version of a snake, LOL. They are stupid expensive, very very fragile and super expensive up keep
16:05 Yepppp one of the Viper wheels themselves you'll be lucky to get it for under $800... as for shocks had on to your hatsssss. and the prices for the other vehicles that you can use from a Viper makes zero sense. Wheels: same bolt pattern different offset as the 97-04 Dakotas/Rango
good video, lost it in the middle a little with the lambo tractor stuff, but brought it back with the viper prices and the ending changeup was good too, cuts off abrutly though
17:10 there should be a video of taking the Viper to a dyno to check HP and tune drivability
Honestly I like the noise of it, I could still hear you talking. Hoping you’re using this in the next cartrek
Welcome back glad to see your smiling again . Good for you. God Bless.
Try the BC Racing coilovers for the viper!
I accidentally forget to bring my lunch to work. Hoovies accidentally buys a V10 sports car 😂.
I can't believe there aren't aftermarket GOOD shocks for that car. Just a quick check I found Aidan (which I don't know, so can't judge if they're ok or not) that does coilover kit front+rear for that very car for 1700USD...
. . Dunlop tyres are the worst . . I had Dunlops on my RS6 when I bought it and the car would easily lose traction in the wet in the UK even though its has Quattro 4WD . . after 1 year the fronts were going so I fitted Michelin Pilot Super Sports all around and god what a difference ! . . stuck to road in the dry and the wet . . and they have lasted 3 years . .
Do Coil overs the tune up fluids etc. Better be plugs and wire and Coil packs.
Double adjustable performance shocks made with modern technology are only $400 each. Plus they'll give it a much better ride while also handle batter.
That KITT replica at the Wizard's instantly caught me eye, it's so beautiful.
I would venture to guess that the exhaust mod is what causing an entire bank to flow improperly. Replace the exhaust it will also properly solve the problem with the other five cylinders.
Does crazy D know so much about tractors because he harvests his own dinner
Let me pull the window up then proceeds to push the pedal 😂 gotta love hoovie
BC Racing coilovers for the Viper are $1,400 for the set. Not saying that the exact way to go about it but since the car is already modified I'd consider koni or bilstein shocks or a medium quality coilover kit.
You should have crazy d fully do up that tractor. It's not usually my type of content, but seems super interesting.
U mean heavy d?
Awesome! Especially in the rare best color black! Just beautiful Tyler. Thanks
Man I remember the resale on these use to be AWFUL! They didn't hold their value at all. In 07-08 you could find low mileage 03-06 Vipers for 35-40k. Sounds crazy to even type that now.
My BS Racing coil overs are 1254.00 per side for the front, 976.00 for the rear per side
Why not get good aftermarket coil overs like a bc racing set?
yay my man tyler is back with a lot of bangs both in life and cars
Hoovie out here describing the 2004 Viper and either not knowing or forgetting that MB GMbH bought Chrysler/ Dodge the year before and stole their new Viper design for the MB SLS66AMG leaving Dodge to scramble and redesign the Viper from scratch.
Accidental purchase. Don’t you hate when you trip and your wallet falls out allowing your credit card to topple into the card slot of the payment terminal. Then as you grasp to stop your fall your fingers hit the exact PIN number and suddenly you own something new. Happens to me far too often. Especially at the Apple Store. Damn smooth floors!
