Vibrations

[yellowviper]

I have a 2001 RT/10 and upon start up, when the weather is cold, I hear a metal sounding vibration in the driver dash area. I don't think it is anything in the dash but in the engine area. As the Viper warms, the sound diminishes and either totally gone or very minor sounding. This sound only occurs when in gear and accelerating. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this? Thanks. Jack

Car is all stock. Does not seem to be rpm related.

[plumcrazy]

is it rpm specific ? stock manifolds or aftermarket headers ?

first: check oil level and 2nd: may be anything valves related... & call Chuck!

I doubt it is oil level as he would hear it more on 1st start.
... may have something that needs tightened under the hood.
