ram srt 10

[SRT10KLLR]

Stay away from an auto, they're weaksauce to begin with, the standards are t-56's. The rear end is a 9.25 I believe same one Dodge has used for years. The one in my '77 has lasted with a torque monster 440 in front of it.

All the auto's need is a tune and they are just as fast as the 6 speed. The 9.25 comes in the Hemi not the 10's.

All quad cabs are auto, all reg. cabs are 6-speed, all 2wd. I've heard about the rear end issues but the few I've heard about were beaten on constantly. I like em', just hard to keep traction under control with the V-10 and 6 speed. If I could find a good deal, I'd jump on one.

Correct.

i think that all srt10 come with dana60's and 4.56 gears

The 04's came with 4.10's the 05+ came with 4.56's.

They are clean for sure. I heard the gas mileage is horrible though. SO be ready for that on top of everything else.

I was looking into one of these about a year or so ago. I agree its one of the best looking trucks out there but when I saw they only get about 9 miles to the gallon, I decided it wasn't that great of a truck!

In bumper to bumper traffic gassing it hard at every take off I was getting 8.9 mpg but on the freeway cruising in 6th gear at 75-80 I was getting 18 mpg.


Stock the RC is a low to mid 13 sec truck with a good driver. With DR's it can hit 12's. The Auto can be low to mid 13's with just a tune.

I just took mine and did two 14.1 runs missing 3rd both times. In another run I was beating a buddy in a 300C but shifted into 1st instead of 3rd. He finished with a 13.7 so I think my run would have been close to 13.4-13.5 since I have a lot of top end. The DA was 3800+ that day in 90+ heat at the CA speedway.

My SRT-10 feels stronger than my Silverado and I managed a 13.7 in the Silvy. The Silvy has better take-off but the Viper has better up top.

BTW, I have my 10 for sale if you are interested.

I've heard hitting third is pretty hard to do in those things!

There is a guy on the Viper forum that runs 12.02 in his RC with LTs, CAI, DR's and some weight removal.

The aborted run against the 300C looked like this:

...........SRT-10........300C

R/T ........ .204 ....... .200
60' ....... 2.139 ...... 2.177
330 ...... 5.795 ...... 5.920
1/8 ...... 9.800 ...... 8.944
MPH .... 53.92 ....... ??.??
1000 ... 14.116 .... 11.554
1/4 ..... 18.096 .... 13.744
MPH .... 53.89 ..... 103.27

This is my best time in the Silverado:

R/T ........ .271
60' ....... 1.920
330 ...... 5.564
1/8 ....... 8.678
MPH .... 78.54
1000 ... 11.421
1/4 ..... 13.762
MPH .... 96.11

This is my best time in the SRT-10 missing third and coasting for a bit:

R/T ........ .641
60' ....... 2.316
330 ...... 6.020
1/8 ....... 9.249
MPH .... 77.88
1000 ... 11.926
1/4 ..... 14.170
MPH ... 101.18

I will head out in the 10 again once I put in a B&M short throw shifter. I swapped to the stock wheels. The interior is bad ssss on these trucks. Here are some pics.

Yeh, no one can hit third in these unless they go to the B&M or X-Metal shifter and a Viper slave. Those are my next mods if I keep it.

man she sure looks pretty!

Nice truck, but how much boost are you running to only trap 101?

The SRT-10 is bone stock. No boost needed. The Hemi has a turbo and I am going to install one in the Silverado soon.

There is a QC in the monroe area around here that runs 12.3's or better. Doesnt race it much.....just uses it to haul his motorcycle to the track.

I find it hard to believe anyone is getting one into the 12s stock. I have yet to see it happen.
