I got mine this past weekend. A 50K mile black/black 2004 SRT 10. It is a hurst shifter 6 speed manual. I always had it wrong. I drove paddle shifter sports cars and liked imports for the past 3 decades. This truck is the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I love this truck and am having a blast. Probably won’t mod it. Putting a 170 temp thermostat on it for temp regulation living in a hot state. Thanks for the video.

Thanks Antonio! I am glad you found the channel!

Picked my red 05 regular cab up in 2017 with only 2700 miles. I’m just about to 9200 miles on it. If you go regular cab the only thing I absolutely recommend is upgrading to the Roe Racing clutch hydraulics (W throwout bearing). The T56 is awesome, the stock clutch is fine, the hydraulics are not. Took me forever to figure out why I was missing shifts and eventually the clutch pedal went completely limp. The hose came loose and melted on the manifold. For some reason the regular Viper reservoir is metal and the SRT-10’s is plastic so sooner or later this will happen! When installed the Roe kit at 7000 miles I haven’t missed a shift since. I assume this is probably why there are so many videos of this truck on youtube being shifted so poorly. If you are interested in one I’d recommend snagging it up soon because they’re on the cusp of becoming collectable.

I think you have got the right motives. I often review cars with a logical perspective, and sometimes don't give enough credit to passion.

The ultimate sleeper...you're a funny guy. I can spot a Viper Truck a mile away. Further, that V10 makes a distinct sound. Maybe if you debadged her, added electronic cut outs to kill the sound, removed the ground effects, and swapped the hood out it might work. I wouldn't however, but you can do whatever you want with it. Even though I've had a few muscle trucks I much prefer a car with a throaty V8, enough torque to plant you in the seat, and the best Z rated tire one can get to grip the road. Whatever you do have fun and be safe.

Any one know where I can buy a bed cover for a srt-10?

I've had one for a few years now, only downside is that the srt-10 specific parts are getting hard to find...

Perhaps some of the other owners can chime in on parts, I would expect certain one off parts for the truck would be very rare, while parts shared with the Viper would be reasonably obtainable, and parts shared with the Ram would be almost everywhere. For context in 2005 USA sales of the Viper totaled 1652 while the Dodge Ram 1500 was 400,000. On the reliability factor, viper motors are known for there simplicity and have a reputation for being very reliable. That being said 15 years is a long time for rubbers and plastics that don't age well. I know viper owners who have had problems with the cooling system, ie overflow tanks, etc. and other miscelaneous plastic bits to fail. In my opinion these are not typically exspensive or rare parts and if needed could be substituted for modified or generic aftermarket parts etc. Good luck with the search!

They can be a very reliable trucks. The problem at this point is finding one that hasn't been beat on and properly maintained over the years. They are out there and yes, may parts obsolete. But there are also a couple of venders that recycle the parts from wrecked trucks, sale upgraded parts, tune and know their way around every inch of them pretty well. It's a small ownership community at this point due to production years and numbers produced.

Yes, there are more QC (quad cab) manual swaps running around than you would think. It completely changes the dynamics of the QC trucks. The QC trucks were never really meant to be the equivalent sport truck as the RC (regular cab) trucks. They were made to be a tow truck complement for viper owners, which is why the QC's were all equipped with 4 speed automatic transmissions (with OD), tow package and different leaf spring / axle configuration. None of the RC's came with any type of tow package from Dodge. Although, there are a handful of owners that have installed a tow receivers on their RC's.
