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.

These cars are headed to the Great Crusher In The Sky

Fri, 24 Aug 2012

It happens every year. We bid adieu to some cars and trucks that will be missed, and say good riddance to others wondering how they stayed around so long. Whether they're being killed off for slow sales or due to a new product coming along to replace them, the list of vehicles being discontinued after 2012 is surprisingly long and diverse.
CNN Money has compiled a list of departing vehicles, to which we've added a few more of our own. In the slow sales column, cars like the Lexus HS 250h, Mercedes-Benz R-Class and the full Maybach lineup appear, while the Ford Escape Hybrid, Mazda CX-7 and Hyundai Veracruz are all having their gaps filled with more modern and more fuel-efficient alternatives. Obvious exceptions to the rule include models that still sell in decent numbers like the Jeep Liberty and the Chrysler Town & Country (which will eventually be replaced by a crossover-like vehicle).
Check out our gallery of discontinued cars above, then scroll down for more information.

GMC Hummer EV SUV first drive, RIP Camaro, Ferrari Roma Spider | Autoblog Podcast # 773

Fri, Mar 24 2023

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by News Editor Joel Stocksdale. They start off with one of the week's biggest official news items — the impending death of the sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro. On the subject of powerful American cars, they pivot to a teaser from Stellantis execs that there are big things ahead for its Dodge Charger SRT Daytona Banshee concept. From there, they look at Ferrari's new topless Roma and then get into Ford's multi-billion-dollar electric vehicle pivot. Speaking of expensive EVs, Joel just got back from driving the new GMC Hummer SUV. He also had the new F-150 Lightning Pro in his driveway, and that's followed by Greg's update on Autoblog's long-term Toyota Sienna.  Autoblog Podcast # 773 Get The Podcast Apple Podcasts – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast in iTunes Spotify – Subscribe to the Autoblog Podcast on Spotify RSS – Add the Autoblog Podcast feed to your RSS aggregator MP3 – Download the MP3 directly Rundown News Chevrolet Camaro production will officially end after 2024 model year Dodge CEO teases more to come from Charger SRT Daytona Banshee Ferrari Roma Spider returns a front-engined soft top to the lineup Ford Model e losing billions as it says EV unit should be seen as startup What we're driving Ford F-150 Lightning Pro 2024 GMC Hummer EV SUV 2023 Toyota Sienna Platinum AWD Feedback Email – Podcast@Autoblog.com Review the show on Apple Podcasts Autoblog is now live on your smart speakers and voice assistants with the audio Autoblog Daily Digest.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.
