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.
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😂😂😂
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!
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
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
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!
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
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
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.
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.
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. Every company outside of mainly Volvo uses somewhat subpar steel and it rusts quickly so that you have to get a new car sooner. 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. Sadly finding my "dream truck" is going to be difficult to find not rusted/250k miles/completely thrashed, and yes it's another chrystler.. I will say atleast it's better then the paint from the 90s which had a habit of just falling off
Gonna be honest hoovie, I'm not watching the other channel. Love your work have been subscribe for years, but the new angle isn't something I will follow. Keep up the good work my friend
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.
20:50 you are not wrong about those ev part prices esp batteries but those are current prices I just took a short course on ev repair and the instructor mentioned that in the next few years your average shop should be able to preform bat swaps and your larger shops should be able to replace individual battery cells.

$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.
@@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 🤔
I'm not sure why these are the least desirable vipers, but I'm not mad about it because they are pretty affordable. For me, they are the second best viper behind the final gen
I love that he always makes it seem like he was screwed over by the person he bought it from.

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.
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 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.
My favourite car I’ve ever owned! Black 2004 that I daily drove for two summers putting 30,000 kms on it. He who dies with the lowest mileage car looses
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.
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
. . 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 . .
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!
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.
I'd spend $400. for the mini-cats, add 4 of the least expensive tires that fit and glue a "For Sale" sign on it with a break-even price......all while running for the door.

Saw BC coilovers were cheaper than used shocks. Ordered those instead!

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.

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 think you should dyno it maybe find out whats done to it before reverting any of the mods
That’s exactly what I was thinking !!!
Maybe after replacing the tires, these aren't holding traction.
That would be interesting to see
Dynamic it and remap it to make it more drivable
Yeah I’ve dynod about 10 of these 2003- 2005s , they made about 420-430hp to the wheels stock.
I don't think I would install used shocks. I'd check out aftermarket options from Bilstein or another well known name.

@@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.
In the world of Vipers, nothing beats the second gen
except every gen after it 🤣😂
@@commonsenseisdeadin2024 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
This is my favorite kind of Hoovie. Dealing with sketchy and expensive cars.
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.
The wizard must rub his hands together when he sees you coming😂😂
Hoovie having an insane midlife crisis rn. I love it
I'm not sure why these are the least desirable vipers, but I'm not mad about it because they are pretty affordable. For me, they are the second best viper behind the final gen
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 love the parts sharing Chrysler had going on back in the day. My dad’s old 2002 Jeep Liberty had the EXACT same radio 😂
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'de go with new aftermarket coilovers all around. Gotta be cheaper. Go new anyway! As Always, May God Bless you and yours! 😇
Man those old Chrysler interiors were something. That manual shifter couldn't look more out of place. 😂
I definitely second the thought that you should dyno the Viper and show power gains over stock!
Love the 3rd gen, excellent looking cars. Look forward to you fixing this one.
Definitely a trade up, Tyler…and the Viper is ok, too…😂
That era of viper does not look good, mid 90's ones and the newer ones were the best. obviously I like the 96's the best.
You should consider preserving the lambo tractor as is. The patina is cool and it'll be less expensive
I accidentally forget to bring my lunch to work. Hoovies accidentally buys a V10 sports car 😂.
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
Oh, we all hate the same type of comments that we fellow internet trolls, post too.
Survey: 1st question, Have you ever driven a Viper? 2nd question, Have you ever gotten a 'like' from any comment supporting @hooviesgarage ?
Great channel, don't blindly like hater comments because HOOVIE doesn't like it.
Just saying, love all, respect all, DONT DELETE comments that you don't blindly support;)
SCREENSHOT TAKEN 1AM San Diego time.
Predicted deletion time 1:12AM San Diego time 😍
You should upgrade to a new set of Coilover suspension. They’ll have a a warranty and make the car feel way more stable
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.
U need to let ur crush to drive it
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 know these cars get alot of hate.... I freaking love these 3rd gen Vipers! They look amazing, those rims are my favorite
Does crazy D know so much about tractors because he harvests his own dinner
make that tractor purdy there farmer hoovie! it would look sooo cool all freshened up!
TLDR: Guy discovers his handbrake was still up after 3 weeks thinking his Viper drives like crap.
Look at the Viper hood badge upside down and you will see Daffy Duck. I swear.
As soon as the car was started up I thought to myself thats been cammed.... I should be a mechanic haha
WHAT A GREAT DEAL -- AMAZING CAR!!! Just mount tires, throw on a helmet and beat on it!
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.
17:10 there should be a video of taking the Viper to a dyno to check HP and tune drivability
My favourite car I’ve ever owned! Black 2004 that I daily drove for two summers putting 30,000 kms on it. He who dies with the lowest mileage car looses
Love seeing KITT just sitting in the background at the Wizard's
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.
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
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.
Wizard is not buying a snake he's looking to get some parts for his Wanderlodge😂 😂
. . 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 . .
That KITT replica at the Wizard's instantly caught me eye, it's so beautiful.
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!
You should never put an exhaust system on a odd-fire engine. There is something fundamentally wrong with their design and place in the universe.
3:06 I would have SHIPPED my pants if Hoovie had pulled in and set every car alarm off..
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
It sounds like a pissed off Miata with a stolen catalytic converter
Hoove, you're becoming an anachronism of a RUclips star.
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.
there is no way the GEN 3 is better looking than the GEN 2
yay my man tyler is back with a lot of bangs both in life and cars
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.
I'd spend $400. for the mini-cats, add 4 of the least expensive tires that fit and glue a "For Sale" sign on it with a break-even price......all while running for the door.
BC racing coilovers are 1600 new! Just because install them, doesn't mean you have to set them low.
Awesome! Especially in the rare best color black! Just beautiful Tyler. Thanks
Awe hoovie suddenly remembered his fans who made him and dropped a video. Isn’t that sweet. Thanks hoovie lol
