Do Viper engines only last 50,000 miles?  
Note to self: Don’t buy a Viper.

Yea, I know all the people on that cruise… I am usually with them, but I have a slight “issue”… carless for a while longer.

The original engine was over-revved due to a missed shift, thats why it was replaced…bad things happen at 10,000 RPM in a 488 cube engine.

There is more to the rebuild story than meets the eye me thinks… so take it worth a grain of salt.

On a side note, there are many, many, many Vipers with 100K+ miles on the engine… one is even local actually.

werd, when they came out with the new body style (back in 94 i think) my dad bought a brand new one. 1994 Dodge Ram Reg cab short box with a 318 5 speed. Biggest peice of junk he ever bought, had so many drivetrain shakes and rattles, had to take the dealership to court just to get em to fix it and they still didnt make it right. needless to say he traded it within a few months after buying it on a new silverado and that thing didnt die till it had 257k on it

I knew there must be more to the story.  
No rev limiter? Ouch.

A rev limiter won’t stop mechanical over-rev. Missed shifts will do it…
