Dodge ViperThe almighty Dodge Viper. No matter the year, since it's arrival, the Dodge Viper has made even the most refined car enthusiasts drool. This sports car has it all from a sexy look to pavement shredding power.
After hearing a funny noise under the hood, I investigate. Only to find my Main belt has spun off. when I try and replace it, I notice that the crank pulley is loose. So I torque it back on and replace the belt, fire her up, and it came loose again. this time I take it all the way off. The splines were completely stripped! The crank shaft was also rounded off. I've only had this car for about 1 year (3000 miles), and this was quite a suprise. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem?
I crated the engine and shipped it back to the factory, luckely all will be covered by the waranty. So far they think it was a fartory defect and are replacing the crankshaft. I can't wait to get her back.
