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.

Ram exec: first 30-mpg pickup truck will 'win'
Fri, Aug 8 2014It is totally possible, today, to take the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel pickup truck, load it up with gear and people, and drive it from Texas to Michigan while getting 38 miles per gallon. We know because we did it. Officially, though, the 1500 gets just 20 mpg combined. A more impressive number is the 28 mpg on the highway. Bob Hegbloom, the Ram brand director, thinks that there's a more important fuel economy target to hit: 30 mpg. Whichever truck company can manage that feat, he recently told Automotive News, "wins." It's kind of an obvious thing to say, but in the 1500 with both the EcoDiesel and the V6 Pentastar engine, Hegbloom said, "fuel economy is so important." Hegbloom didn't promise that the next EcoDiesel truck will manage to get on up over the 30 hump, but he did say that Ram is not sitting still when it comes to fuel economy. "I just want to have continuous improvement and to keep gaining every day," he said. "We sat still in the past and it doesn't lead to a great place."
NHTSA closes investigation on 4.7M FCA power modules, no recall
Thu, Jul 30 2015FCA US hasn't had the best time with recalls as of late. Not only did the company recently agree to greater safety oversight and paid $105 million to the government, that came just days after hacking fears prompted a 1.4-million model recall campaign. However, a recent decision to close an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration means that the automaker doesn't have to worry about another major recall possibly affecting 4.7 million vehicles, according to the agency's report (as a PDF). Last September, the Center for Auto Safety petitioned NHTSA to investigate an alleged problem with the totally integrated power module (TIPM) on these FCA US models. The group claimed that a fault with the component could cause a variety of maladies, including stalls, not starting, catching fire, unintended acceleration, and airbag non-deployment. At the time, it also submitted 70 cases where this had reportedly happened. According to NHTSA, "no valid evidence was presented in support of claims related to airbag non-deployment, unintended acceleration, or fire resulting from TIPM faults and these claims were found to be wholly without merit based on review of the field data and design of the relevant systems and components." The agency did find signs of an issue with the fuel pump relay in some Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Durangos, but FCA US issued recalls for the problem in September 2014 and February 2015. Without anything else to go on, the Feds don't think it's worth investigating this topic any more.
Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages
Wed, 06 Nov 2013Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.
