For further questions email me : nokemerycitify@gmx.com

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.
