Very rare bright silver standard cab Dodge RAM SRT-10 Viper Edition truck. Only 698 of these trucks were built and much less remain in existance. 500 horse power 8.3 liter V10 Viper engine with Borg Warner 6 speed manual transmission, dual climate control, factory navigation CD changer Infinity sound system. This truck has never been in an accident and has a completely clean Carfax. I have invested over $7,000 in custom performance upgrades, plus labor to have the upgrades installed. The truck is in excellent shape inside and out. I rate it a solid 8.5 out of perfect 10. The paint looks new and theres not a spot of rust anywhere on the body. Very clean interior. The truck has never been driven in the winter. If your looking at buying a RAM SRT10 they are great trucks, and for the most part, reliable, powerful and fun machines. However heres what you need to know before you decide to buy one. Just like a lot of other car manufacturers, Chrysler cut some corners on the RAM SRT10 trucks to save a buck, so they unfortunately suffer from some inherent problems right from the factory. If your looking to buy a low mileage one, because you think it will be more reliable, you are making a mistake. Most issues with the SRT10 Ram trucks dont start showing up until they hit the 50K mile mark, give or take, depending on the way they have been driven. Never the less, rest assured they will ALL have the following mechanical failures, eventually. So if your looking at a truck with lower miles, these problems have either not occured yet or have not yet been taken care of, unless specified by the seller, since to fix them properly will costs thousands and thousands of dollars. Heres a list of things that will go wrong with a 2004-2006 Ram SRT10:All of the early Borg Warner T56 transmissions, used in the manual shift SRT10 Rams, develop issues with the 3rd gear synchro, as well as, reverse gear, after about 50-75K miles. The only way to fix this problem properly is to change out all the internal components to the updated Borg Warner TREMEC T56 internals. The cost of this job is $3-4,000 plus labor for removal and installation. This job can only be done by certain transmission shops that have the special tools and knowledge to open and service these transmmisions. Next, the clutch slave cylinder and master cylinder on these trucks were verly poorly designed, and will all suffer mechanical failure sooner or later. The slave cylinder is made from cheap plastic, which warps and starts to leak over time, and the master cylinder becomes weak and unable to properly disengage the clutch disk from the flywheel. The proper fix is to replace the slave cylinder with an all metal version and change out the master cylinder with a high performance aftermarket component. Price for this job is $500-600 in parts plus 4-5 shop hours labor. Next, the Hurst shifter on these trucks becomes sloppy and unusable, All the plastic bushings inside wear out and it becomes dificult, or even imposible, to properly switch gears. There are few upgraded shifters available, B&M used to make a short throw shifter and Venom Performance still manufactures a very good short throw shifter for these trucks. The cost is $300-$450 depending on the model. Next is the oil cooler and power steering lines, which all start to leak pretty much from the start. You can replace them with factory ones, but they will only start leaking again soon after. Only solution is to have a set custom made, or to purchase a set from Venom performance for $350 plus 3-4 hours of shop labor to install them. Last but not least is the harmonic dampener which fails when the elastic material gets hard and britle, and falls apart, causing excessive engine noise and premature internal engine component wear if not addressed. The dampeners cost anywhere from $200-350 plus lots of shop hours to remove everything in the way to access it. So still want a low mileage SRT10?Anyways, Ive owned my truck for about 3 years. I purchased it from a gentleman who drove it daily to work and so majority of the mileage is all highway miles. I purchased the truck with 108K on the odometer. At the time of purchase I had all of the issues listed above properly addressed. So this truck is now completely bullet-proofed and ready for another 100K miles without any issues. Here is a list of all work performed: 1. The leak prone factory power steering and oil cooler lines have been replaced with braided stainless steel lines from JTS Venom Performance. These lines carry a lifetime warranty against leakage. 2. I had the old T56 tranmission rebuilt by Portland Transmission in Providence RI, who is one of a few authorized Borg Warner repair shops in the North East. They installed all new updated TREMEC internals, so no more 3rd gear grind or reverse lock out issues ever again. 3. I also installed a high performance FX400 Clutch Masters race clutch and a Fidanza aluminum flywheel with replaceable friction disk. 4. The leaking master and slave cylinders were replaced with a Wilwood billet clutch master cylinder and a JTS Venom aluminum slave cylinder. 5. I also replaced the crappy Hurst shifter with the JTS Venom adjustable short gate shifter 6. I replaced the old dried up harmonic balancer with a Mopar performance fluid type balancer.7. Installed JTS Venom lightweight billet aluminum underdrive pulley and new JTS accessory drive belt.The cost of all these parts cost me over $7,000 plus thousands in labor. New OEM brake rotors and Stoptech brake pads were also installed about 5K miles ago. The tires are 80% with about 6K miles on them. The truck also has a full Magnaflow dual stainless steel exhaust. K&N cold air intake, , Rhynolined bed with BedRug bed liner, new Optima Big Red Battery and lots of other little extras. I have over $13K in upgrades invested in this truck.The truck is in excellent used shape inside and out. I rate it 8.5 out of a perfect 10. It has never been driven in the winter. Its an awesome truck with thousands invested in upgrades, Im listing it way below market value, your not going to find one even close to this condition for the money Im asking.

SRT reveals Satin Vapor Edition 300, Charger and Challenger SRT models
Fri, 07 Feb 2014With the exception of some notable truck and van introductions, Chrysler brands have tended to use the Chicago Auto Show to bring out new special editions, pimp their aftermarket parts support or indulge in the occasional flight of fancy. That plan is holding true for 2014, as well. Cases in point are these new Satin Vapor Editions of the 2014-model-year Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 - all from SRT.
The Satin Vapor name may sound like a failed 1970s glam-rock band, or a pseudo-gynecological diagnosis from the Old West, but is, in fact, pretty much a tape-and-trim package for this trio of hi-po Mopars. 300, Challenger and Charger alike come shod with 20-inch aluminum wheels finished in Black Satin Vapor Chrome, and are accented with Satin Black bits aplenty. The 300 gets blacked-out mirrors, spoiler and roof; the Challenger applies it to mirrors and its fuel door; while the Charger has the stuff covering its roof, hood and Super Bee tail graphic.
Interiors of the cars have been mildly updated as well, with all three getting some combination of Nappa leather, ultra-suede and carbon-fiberish finishes.
Dodge Scat Pack for 5.7L Hemi V8 detailed, priced
Sat, 05 Apr 2014Dodge revived the Scat Pack name back in November at the 2013 SEMA show. At the time, though, we were short of details on forthcoming upgrade packages, which were destined to add some oomph to the Challenger, Charger and Dart. We're still waiting to hear about the upgrades to the Dart's 2.4-liter four-pot, but Dodge has gone ahead and released the details on the upgrades to the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 in the Challenger and Charger R/T.
As we detailed in our original post, three different Scat Packs will be available that will allow customers to upgrade their cars without voiding the warranties. Starting with the $2,195 Stage 1 kit, owners will net an extra 18 horsepower and 18 pound-feet of torque thanks to a Mopar-branded cold-air intake, exhaust and ECU ref lash. Stage 1 is also the only package that could be installed outside of a Chrysler-authorized service center without voiding the warranty (a mechanically competent owner could even do it at home, we're told by Dodge). Stage 2 builds on the entry level Scat Pack, and adds performance camshaft kit, which boosts output over the stock 5.7 by up to 30 hp for $1,895. As with the Stage 1, the ECU is tweaked.
For those that want to go whole hog, they can add the Stage 3 for $4,995. The top-tier gets quite serious, adding CNC-ported cylinder heads, as well as high-flow headers and cats. Output over stock is 58 hp and 47 lb-ft of torque. Each kit comes with a pair of badges, just in case owners want a bit of visual flair.
Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?
Thu, 02 Oct 2014The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.
