2017 Dodge Viper Brake Specials: Specs & Service

These symptoms can involve pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, or fluid rather than a single component. A complete inspection in Avondale helps identify the source before braking performance is affected further.

• Squealing, scraping, or grinding during braking
• Pedal pulsation or a soft pedal feel
• Brake warning light or dark-looking fluid

The Brake Specials inspection evaluates the brake system as a group instead of focusing only on visible pad wear. That approach helps identify related wear that could shorten the life of a newly installed component.

• Pad-material measurement on all four corners
• Rotor-thickness and runout measurement
• Caliper, hose, hardware, and fluid-condition inspection

The right repair depends on the measurements from the inspection. If the rotors remain within requirements, pad replacement may address the wear; if rotor condition is outside requirements, replacing both supports consistent braking performance.

• Measure rotor thickness before recommending replacement
• Check rotor runout for vibration concerns
• Evaluate pads, rotors, and related hardware as a system

Brake wear can involve multiple parts, including pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, hardware, and fluid. Contact the Avondale service department and arrange an inspection through the service department.

• Do not ignore grinding or scraping sounds
• Pay attention to changes in pedal feel
• Have warning lights and fluid condition checked

Brake fluid condition is also reviewed during the Brake Specials inspection. Checking the fluid alongside pads, rotors, calipers, hoses, and hardware gives the technician a more complete view of the braking system.

• Brake-fluid replacement interval: every 24,000 miles
• Fluid condition is inspected during brake service
• Dark fluid is a reason to request an evaluation

Its rear-wheel-drive performance coupe configuration pairs the V10 with a six-speed manual transmission. Brake condition is an important part of maintaining confidence in a vehicle with this level of power.

• 8.4-liter V10 engine
• 645 horsepower at 6,200 rpm
• 600 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm

The Viper uses an 8.4-liter V10 and a six-speed manual transmission. Its EPA figures across the five trims are 12 city MPG and 19 highway MPG.

• Premium unleaded fuel required
• 16-gallon fuel capacity
• 12 city MPG and 19 highway MPG across trims

The coupe also provides 14.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear seats. Curb weight ranges from 3,390 to 3,415 pounds across the five trims.

• Length: 175.7 inches
• Width: 76.4 inches; height: 49.1 inches
• Curb-weight range: 3,390–3,415 pounds

Calipers, hoses, hardware, and brake fluid condition are also inspected. These checks matter because pads, rotors, and fluid can wear or deteriorate together. The manufacturer’s published maintenance schedule calls for brake-fluid replacement every 24,000 miles. Bring your 2017 Dodge Viper to Larry H. Miller Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Avondale in Avondale for an OEM-spec brake service — schedule service.

Brakes wear as a system, so replacing one component while overlooking another can shorten the life of the new part. The inspection is designed to identify the condition of the complete system and apply the current Brake Specials to the work the vehicle actually needs. Drivers should request an evaluation for squealing, scraping, grinding, a pulsing or soft pedal, a warning light, or dark fluid. Schedule service or call 480-207-2126.

For a vehicle producing 645 horsepower and 600 lb-ft of torque, consistent braking-system maintenance supports confident operation. Brake symptoms should not be postponed, particularly grinding, pedal softness, pulsation, warning lights, or fluid that appears dark. Review the current service specials, then schedule an appointment or call 480-207-2126.
