Hello all,
Recently purchased a 2005 SRT Quad Cab, I've already learned that this is not currently on the register, and it is #2990 of 5109 for 2005, so I'll be asking for this to go on the register officially soon.
Reading the service receipt pack that was supplied with it, quite a few thousand miles have been done at sea! The truck was imported/exported to the UK with a member of the US military in 2006 before heading back over to Daytona around the turn of the century, before finally being shipped back over here to a new owner!
It has picked up a few tasteful, and not so tasteful mods over the years, and the pics below are as I collected it.
I've stripped off some of the "8.3" and "V10" chrome stickers already, and i'm thinking of losing the LED DRLs from the front grill too.
Other than that it seems a really nice truck, a previous owner has "upgraded the transmission" (whatever that means) with some billet torque converter parts amongst others. The shifts from 1-2 and sometimes 2-1 are now really quite harsh, i'm not sure if this is an effect of the "upgrade" or there is something wrong. so that's one job to look at.
It has a magnaflow exhaust system (possibly cat-back, possibly more, haven't looked yet) and the Volant air intake system which is a slight concern given the rainy nature of the UK climate and the bonnet vent fed air supply...!
I'd like to get this thing dyno'd, working with Bentley's on a daily basis, the truck doesnt pull quite as much as I expected, considering the weight of a V8 Continental is quite similar! I'm still totally in love though
