I bought this truck several months ago as an owner retained salvage from the previous owner. I was given a clean title which is what comes with this truck which is what is seen in the picture. However, if you re-register this truck in CA it will come back as a salvage. If you registered this in another state and it will remain a clean title but, it will still show on the Car Fax report that it was a total loss in CA if you ever go to sell it. I am disclosing this so whoever buys this and registers it as a clean title will understand that Car Fax will show different. IF YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS THEN PLEASE BUY A DIFFERENT TRUCK FROM A DEALERSHIP WITH A CLEAN CARFAX AND NOT THIS ONE.

Conditions:

Interior: The previous owner decided to have all the interior recovered in leather and suede. Headliner, dash, door panels, sill panels and pretty much everything. 7/10 rating. Not my cup of tea so don't ask my feelings on this alteration. There was a burn from the old amp wiring on the rear passenger seat/floor as shown in the pictures. Also, the carpet was changed to black wool. Yes, you read that correctly. I am not going to comment. The interior has not been cleaned, but needs to be detailed and there are minor touch-ups needed.

Exterior: The previous owner also felt the need to pay almost $20K to change the paint color on the entire truck. This was done professionally at a reputable shop with Sikkens paint. The entire truck was disassembled for this to be done so it was not done half-ass. The original color was black and the new color is a deep black with red metallic flakes that are strong in the sunlight and gives it a sort of purple hue from a distance. All the emblems were replaced new from the Dodge dealership. The paint is very nice and I had it clayed and buffed about a month ago. The body has some scratches, a few minor dings and flaws but, overall 8.5/10 rating.

Drivetrain is untouched with the exception of the K&N Cold Air intake as seen in the pictures. Previous owner had told me he had the transmission rebuilt last year after he tore the center out of the flex plate. He showed me the broken flex plate and the transmission looks really clean and drives just fine. However, I have no paperwork to support what was done and when it was done, but 10/10 rating.

Wheels and tires. These are the stock 22" wheels that come with this truck. There is minor curbing on the passenger side front and rear. The front passenger tire is not the same brand as the rest and is at about 75%. The other 3 are at about 95%. I bought the original jack and tool kit from eBay, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to get the spare tire back under the bed. Given the curb scrape and different brand tire a 8.5/10 rating is fitting.

The Salvage:
The previous owner was taking an off ramp and hit a pothole that broke the passenger front wheel off at the hub and sheared the center of the rotor off with it. The wheel folded under the truck and then slid on it into the center island of the off ramp thru all the bushes giving the passenger side small scratches and pulling off all the passenger plastics. PDR (paintless dent removal) was done on the doors, fender and bedside and look perfect. The plastics were wetsanded and put back on. The front bumper had to be reconditioned and repainted and a foglamp replaced. The hub and rotor were replaced aftermarket from PepBoys. The previous owner had an extra wheel and tire which is why the tire is different on the passenger front from the rest. There is a picture of when it was totaled and also of the broken hub/rotor.

The truck runs great, drives straight, and handles fine. No problems that I have found. The amp and woofers are missing in the back and all the wires are there. I have done my best to describe this truck and it is a neat truck and seemingly rare.

So here is your chance to own a REAL SRT-10 Ram for a lot less then all the others. I have this for sale locally also.

Apparently, the Car Fax on here does not show it being salvaged and it shows it being a clean title when the previous owner told me it was a total loss when he sold it to me.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.

Dodge engineers trying to shoehorn Pentastar into Dart?

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

The fact that the Dart's launch has been a pretty dismal affair isn't what we'd call secret. Judging by its mounting inventories and poor critical reception, Dodge's successor to its unloved Caliber has struggled since it hit the market. And while both of those are difficult problems to address, at least their cause is well known - the powertrain.
Even Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has acknowledged that the powertrain options in the Dart are substandard, admitting at January's Detroit Auto Show that the powertrains are "less than ideal." Leading with the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder found in the Fiat 500 Abarth left a bad taste in the mouths of consumers thanks to the laggy engine and dead throttle response (to say nothing of the manual and dual-clutch gearboxes that needed more refinement). The addition of the 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark in the Dart GT has helped matters some, but apparently Auburn Hills doesn't think it's quite enough.
If rumors are to be believed - get that salt ready - a possible solution may be in the works. A report from Allpar is claiming that Dodge is considering fitting a Pentastar V6 into the Dart's engine bay. As the Mopar-obsessed website points out, the critically acclaimed Pentastar is available in three different sizes - 3.0 liters, 3.2 liters and the original 3.6 liters. We don't get the 3.0 here in the US, but the 3.2 can be found in the new Jeep Cherokee and the 3.6 has been seemingly fitted to every model Chrysler can shoehorn it into.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.
