I contacted my Viper Tech this morning to schedule an appointment to install the parts listed in my signature. I spoke with him over a month ago (before I ordered the parts) and asked him if he could install all the parts and he said there would be no problem. He told me that when I received all the parts just call up and make an appointment to install them and the car would be ready in about a week. I received the parts today and am all ready to have them installed. But the problem is, when I called this morning to speak with him to schedule the installation I found out he was "let go," or in other words, fired. The dealership did get a new Viper Tech, but when I asked him to schedule an installation appointment for the parts he told me that he cannot install the 3.55 gears. He simply stated that he does not have the expertise to do it. He is currently the only Viper Tech in all of Southern Nevada. I really don't feel comfortable bringing my Viper to a local mechanic and do not have any ability or equipment to do it myself.
I would have loved to use them in my snake but I really have no way of installing them. The local mechanics out here are nothing more than clueless crooks and the only Viper Tech that is here can't and won't install them.
These gears are upgraded from standard 3.55 gears and cost about $150 more. They are brand new and just received today. I took them out of the box to take pictures of them and that's it. They also include the Speedo Recalibration Unit as well as everything else needed for installation. Here are the pictures:
As previously stated, these gears cost about $150 more than standard 3.55 gears. I told this same situation to the vendor I purchased them from and he wants a 10% restocking fee. I would rather pass the savings onto fellow Viper owners than pay a "restocking fee" to do nothing more than just put them back on shelf. Therefore, I will try to sell them here. Figure with tax and shipping these gears alone should come to $850. I'd be happy to at least get what standard gears go for. My asking price is $650.00 shipped via USPS 2-3 Day Priority Mail. That's a savings of over $200.00 and these gears are BRAND NEW. They are currently repackaged and all ready to go. Please PM or e-mail me if interested.
Thanks in advance and make sure you have competent Viper Techs, or at least one, in your area! :thumb:

Thanks! I will try calling tomorrow.
I am actually sad to see that tech go. He was a nice guy who was very helpful and did good work whenever I took my snake in for servicing. Now the whole Southern Nevada area has only one Viper tech to service all the Vipers as well as Crossfires. Absolutely fucking rediculous.
TCKTPLZ...just curious where you got these gears from? On an srt-10 I'm told I don't need the speedo recalaboration unit. Are these supposed to be much stroger and therefore help reduce the chances of hydralock? What company are they made by and exactly what is differnet about them other then the triple polish?
