So this whole viper addiction is getting out of control,so adding to my 2001 rt is a 2006 ram SRT 10 4 door slate grey with black powder coated stock wheels, can't wait to pick it up tomorrow in Maryland about 200 miles from here,any things to check out on those trucks? Thanks in advance and I will post pics tomorrow .

Nice buy, rare color too, 1 year only.

Oil cooler lines, P/S lines and a good service history, just like buying a Viper............... It's a Gen3 Viper engine so same issues,

Funny thing when I was looking for the viper, grey was my first choice but also loved my saphire another one year color and now two years later and I found my color. I paid 19800 with 70k on it looks clean,will see tomorrow,what do you guys think good buy?

ck your oil and ps lines for leaks, check the trans fluid and the shifting , the trans are known for slipping a bit, other than that, get a tuner , have a blast.

I sure miss my my 05 Reg cab SRT-10. Getting harder to find nice low mileage examples.

Congratulations. The quad cab SRT 10 needs a tune. Dodge really dialed back the torque curve and the engine begs to be freed up! I had one from Dan Cragin on my '05 quad cab SRT 10.

Just pick it up and it needs to be tuned what's the best one?

[ViperJeff]

The SCT is the best one. Both Chris Jensen (chris@christuned.com) and Torrie (Unleashed Tuning) do a good job at tuning these trucks. With you being up there by Tator's you might want to give him a call.

I had an '04 and traded it almost 3 years ago. Missed it so much I had to get another 6-speed Viper V10, my current '06 VOI9 coupe. Feel like I never shoulda got rid of my Viper truck, either, though. Enjoy!

It's been in my head since I bought my 01 to have Both of them,It would be cool to have something new like a raptor but I'm super happy with my old used dodges!!!

they never stay that way for long bubba LOl

Congrats, always been a big fan of these, I want a single cab version bad!

I choose the quad cab so the family can use it,didn't need another garage queen.

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

be sure to have the trans checked , the bands usually need adjusting, swap over to the gm governor pressure sensor also, one of the popular things right now is doing the six speed swap to a manual, enjoy the ride the qc's are a blast!

[Anonymous]

It's gonna go visit Chuck Tator for a check up soon.

[JTS VENOM PERFORMANCE]

cool cool, he will def take care of ya for sure, tell him I said howdy!

Same here. I traded it in to get my vert. If I had the funds I would have kept it. 2006 with only 23K on it.

Gonna get pics up on the next nice day, can't wait to see my rt parked next to the viper truck.

The only 'issue' I have seen repeat is w/ 6-manual ..... the OE clutch fluid can get too hot on spirited and/or long drives. Upgrade to hi-temp fluid, and maybe shield/insulate the lines. Oh, and the Credit Card needs to be wide-open for the fuel cost! Every few (6-8) tanks DO run a bottle of fuel injector cleaner thru the tank. VIPERS TOO!

[Anonymous]

Jon what brand of fuel inj. Cleaner do you recommend ?

[ICPREY]

It's a QC so it's an auto, no worries about clutch fluid although I'm on my third trans with my 05 QC.
