The Dodge Ram SRT-10 is a sport pickup truck produced by American automaker Dodge in limited numbers. It was introduced at the January 2002 North American International Auto Show, but was not put into production until 2004. Unlike the previous Ram Trucks, the SRT-10 was built solely for the purpose of speed
Development
The Dodge Ram SRT was created by DaimlerChrysler's PVO (Performance Vehicle Operations) division, using Dodge Viper and Chrysler Prowler engineers. Extensive wind tunnel testing was used in styling the exterior of the Ram SRT. This is the second time that Dodge has put a Viper engine into a Ram pickup. At the 1996 Chicago Auto Show, Dodge introduced a concept Dodge Ram with a Viper Generation 2 engine, but it was not put into production. The Dodge Ram VTS was painted Banzai Blue with dual white skunk stripes, housed a 488 cid V10, a six-speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox, and 17-inch (430 mm) Viper GTS wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 275/60-HR17 Comp T/A HR4 tires.
Dodge Ram SRT-10 engineThe SRT-10 features an 8.3 Liter Viper V10. [1] This engine produces 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 525 lb·ft (712 N·m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. The regular cab, with a total curb weight of 5,130 lb (2,330 kg), reaches a top speed of 154 mph (248 km/h), and can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, whereas the Quad Cab, weighing 5,618 lb (2,548 kg), does 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 147 mph (237 km/h). The regular cab can complete the 1⁄4 mi (400 m) in 12.8 seconds at 108 mph (174 km/h), the Quad Cab in 13.2 seconds at 106 mph (171 km/h). The engine produces one horsepower for every 10.3 lbs of vehicle weight. The regular cab generates .86 g of grip on a 300 ft (91 m) skidpad, while the Quad Cab pulls .83 g.
Drivetrain
The V10 Viper engine delivers 90 percent of its torque from 1500 to 6600 rpm. The cast aluminum cylinder block has cast-iron liners and cross-bolted main caps. The bore and stroke have been increased over previous Viper models. Compression ratio, firing order, rod length, block height and block length are unchanged from the second-generation Viper engine. The regular cab features a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, while the Quad Cab utilizes a 48RE four-speed automatic transmission modified from the Ram Heavy Duty transmission. Both regular cab and quad cab utilize a Dana 60 rear axle.

Suspension
PVO engineers modified the Ram Heavy Duty's rack and pinion steering and independent front suspension for use in the Ram SRT-10. A fully hydroformed Dodge Ram frame, one of the stiffest in the industry[citation needed], was used in conjunction with a custom tuned suspension, bringing the Ram SRT-10's ride height one inch lower in the front and two inches lower in the rear. Bilstein shock absorbers, performance-tuned springs and unique aerodynamic aids were used to enhance the Ram SRT-10's higher speed performance.
Exterior
The Ram SRT-10 has a unique hood that features a wide power bulge and hood scoop. The hood scoop allows cool air to enter as well as forcing hot air to exit from the engine bay, thus helping the engine to develop more power as well as making the engine run cooler. "Viper Powered" badges were added to the sides of the power bulge, to indicate the SRT-10 engine under the hood. Another exterior feature is a tonneau cover with an attached spoiler that was supposed to come standard on the 2005 Quad Cab version and all 2006 models, but due to manufacturing problems was not installed on nearly half of the Ram SRT-10s intended. To help remedy this situation, Dodge added a $1000 credit and a regular spoiler to the Ram SRT-10s that did not receive the tonneau cover. In addition to style, the spoiler also helps with air flow and provides a reduction in lift and drag. The Ram SRT-10 has a bed size of 6.5 feet (2 m), giving the regular cab an overall length of 17 ft 7 in (5.36 m), and 19 ft 2 in (5.84 m) overall length for the Quad Cab. The Ram SRT-10 also has a lower ride height than regular Ram trucks.
Interior
The stock stereo system of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 consists of 8 Infinity brand speakers. It also comes with a leather trimmed steering wheel and with heavily bolstered racing-derived suede-trimmed black leather seats. The center stack is adorned by silver trim, and a silver trim strip with the SRT-10 logo resides on the passenger-side air bag. Taking a cue from the Dodge Viper, the Ram SRT-10 comes with a red start button on the dash. The manual transmission regular cab comes with a Hurst shift lever, which sprouts from a silver metal shift bezel and is fitted with a Viper shift knob. Aluminum performance-inspired pedals replace the stock setup. The gauge cluster features satin silver-faced gauges and Viper font and graphics. The speedometer and tachometer were recalibrated to match the Ram SRT-10's increased performance.
Colors
Excluding the special editions, the 2004-2005 Ram SRT-10 came in three colors: Brilliant Black, Crystal Pearl Coat, Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat, and Flame Red Clear Coat. The redesigned 2006 Ram SRT-10 came in Mineral Gray Metallic, Inferno Red, and Brilliant Black Crystal Clear Coat.
Wheels
The stock 22-inch (560 mm) rims and Pirelli Scorpion P305/40R22 performance tires give the SRT-10 the grip that helps it achieve record breaking speed. The brakes were modified from the Ram Heavy Duty truck for use in the Ram SRT-10. The standard ABS-equipped brakes are fitted with 15-inch (380 mm) rotors in front and 14-inch (360 mm) rotors out back. Each of the large rotors feature unique red calipers. 2004 models used two-piston sliding brake calipers front and rear; these were replaced with larger four-piston mono-block calipers up front in 2005-06. Two Nascar-inspired brake cooling ducts integrated into the front fascia provide plenty of cooling for the Ram SRT-10's brakes.
Quad Cab
Following the success of the Ram SRT-10 regular cab, Dodge decided to introduce a Quad cab version starting in the 2005 model year. The new Quad Cab was aimed at the performance truck enthusiast who wanted a performance pickup, but not at the expense of room for the family and towing capacity. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab was fitted with a 4.56 final-drive gear ratio to improve low-end acceleration and was rated at 7,500-pound (3,400 kg) towing capacity. A body-color aluminum tonneau cover with an aerodynamic spoiler came standard on the Quad Cab. The Quad Cab was only offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission, a 48RE borrowed from the Ram Heavy Duty.
Special editions
Dodge released several limited editions of the Ram SRT alongside the standard regular cab and Quad cab versions.
VCA Edition - 50 produced, released at the 2004 Daytona Motor Speedway Race in February. Its paint scheme was white rally stripes on Electric Blue. Engine was also signed by Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler Group's former Chief Operating Officer.
Yellow Fever - 500 produced, painted in Solar Yellow exterior paint and black "fanged" stripe on top of hood, comes with two-tone interior which features a yellow center stack bezel, yellow door spears, yellow stitching on steering wheel, seats and Regular Cab manual transmission shifter and yellow embroidering on the SRT-10 floor mats. Also comes with special Yellow Fever Edition badges and a serialized Yellow Fever dash plaque.
Commemorative Edition - in 2005 - 200 produced, features Bright White exterior paint with Electric Blue stripes. Interior enhancements include blue stitching on the seats, shift boot, shift knob and steering wheel. Floor mats are embroidered in matching stitching with the SRT-10 logo. In addition, the Commemorative Edition includes standard polished wheels, brushed aluminum scuff plates, and hard tonneau cover.
Night Runner - 400 produced, painted in Brilliant Black exterior paint, comes with Dark Nickel Pearl finish 22-inch (560 mm) wheels, black chrome grill inserts, unique Night Runner badges, a black center stack and center console bezel overlay, and a serialized Night Runner dash plaque. Only available as a 2006 regular cab or 2006 Quad cab.
End of production
The first SRT-10 was produced November 11, 2003. Ram SRT-10 production ended on June 30, 2006.[citation needed]
In the wake of severe market under-performance, production of the SRT-10 was halted by Daimler Chrysler far in advance of its original schedule.[citation needed] It is generally assumed[weasel words] that the reason the trucks sold so poorly was low consumer demand for vehicles with poor gas mileage in an environment of rising gas prices.[2] According to the window sticker, the mpg on the Ram SRT-10 is 9 city and 12 highway. The total production for the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 was 3,057. For 2005, the total production was 4,097 and the 2006 total production was 2,373.[citation needed] Due to the short 3 year lifespan of this truck, just 9,527 Dodge Ram SRT-10s were manufactured.
World record
February 2004 World RecordIn February 2004, the Dodge Ram SRT-10 set both the Guinness World Record and Sports Car Club of America's record for the world's fastest production truck[3] with an average speed of 154.587 mph (248.784 km/h). That record was then surpassed by the Australian HSV Maloo with a speed of 168.668 mph (271.445 km/h),[4] however the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is still the fastest truck sold in America today

Street and Racing Technology (commonly called SRT) is a high-performance automobile group within Chrysler LLC. SRT began as "Team Viper" to develop the Dodge Viper. It later merged with "Team Prowler", the developers of the Plymouth Prowler, to become Specialty Vehicle Engineering (SVE). This was renamed Performance Vehicle Operations (PVO). Since all PVO vehicles used the SRT name, it was decided in 2004 to use that name for the development group as well. SRT has produced vehicles for the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Plymouth marques.
The naming convention used by SRT for its models are indicative of the vehicle's engine type. The number that follows the 'SRT' prefix denotes the number of engine cylinders the vehicle has. For example the Chrysler 300C has an 8 cylinder HEMI engine. Therefore the SRT version is known as the Chrysler 300C SRT-8. Similarly, the Dodge Viper SRT-10 has a 10 cylinder engine. A minor exception was the Dodge SRT-4, which is based on the Dodge Neon and where the Neon name was deleted while the number "4" just as the other models displayed the number of the cylinders.

On a Q&A session with SRT engineers on an LX forum several years ago someone asked what the difference was between an RT and an SRT....the engineer said something like this.. the RT was designed to give a balance between gas mileage, power and drivability..........the SRT was designed to kick ass...:rock:

Each of the large rotors feature unique red calipers. 2004 models used two-piston sliding brake calipers front and rear; these were replaced with larger four-piston mono-block calipers up front in 2005-06, designed by TRW and unique to the SRT-10. Two Nascar-inspired brake cooling ducts integrated into the front fascia provide plenty of cooling for the Ram SRT-10's brakes.
[edit] Quad Cab
Following the success of the Ram SRT-10 regular cab, Dodge decided to introduce a Quad cab version starting in the 2005 model year. The new Quad Cab was aimed at the performance truck enthusiast who wanted a performance pickup, but not at the expense of room for passengers and towing capacity. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab was fitted with a 4.56 final-drive gear ratio to improve low-end acceleration and was rated at 7,500-pound (3,400 kg) towing capacity. A body-color aluminum tonneau cover with an aerodynamic spoiler came standard on the Quad Cab. The Quad Cab was only offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission, a 48RE borrowed from the Ram Heavy Duty.
[edit] Special editions
Dodge released several limited editions of the Ram SRT-10 alongside the standard regular cab and Quad Cab versions.
* VCA Edition - 50 produced, released at the 2004 Daytona Motor Speedway Race in February. Its paint scheme was white rally stripes on Electric Blue. Engine was also signed by Wolfgang Bernhard, Chrysler Group's former Chief Operating Officer. Available as a 2004 model.
* Yellow Fever - 500 produced, painted in Solar Yellow exterior paint and black "fanged" stripe on top of hood, came with two-tone interior which featured a yellow center stack bezel, yellow door spears, yellow stitching on steering wheel, seats and Regular Cab manual transmission shifter and yellow embroidering on the SRT-10 floor mats. Also came with special Yellow Fever Edition badges and a serialized Yellow Fever dash plaque. Available as a 2005 model.
* Commemorative Edition - 200 produced, featured Bright White exterior paint with Electric Blue stripes. Interior enhancements included blue stitching on the seats, shift boot, shift knob and steering wheel. Floor mats were embroidered in matching stitching with the SRT-10 logo. In addition, the Commemorative Edition included standard polished wheels, brushed aluminum scuff plates, and a hard tonneau cover. Available as a 2005 model.

Available as a 2006 model.
[edit] End of production
The first SRT-10 was produced November 11, 2003. Ram SRT-10 production ended on June 30, 2006.[citation needed]
In the wake of severe market under-performance, production of the SRT-10 was halted by Daimler Chrysler far in advance of its original schedule.[citation needed] It is generally assumed[weasel words] that the reason the trucks sold so poorly was low consumer demand for vehicles with poor gas mileage in an environment of rising gas prices.[2] The Ram SRT-10 regular cab was rated by the EPA at 9 mpg city/15 highway, while the Quad Cab was rated at 9 city/12 highway. The total production for the 2004 Dodge Ram SRT-10 was 3,057. For 2005, the total production was 4,097 and the 2006 total production was 2,373.[citation needed] Due to the short 3 year lifespan of this truck, just 9,527 Dodge Ram SRT-10s were manufactured.

[edit] World record
February 2004 World Record
In February 2004, the Dodge Ram SRT-10 set both the Guinness World Record and Sports Car Club of America's record for the world's fastest production truck[3] with an average speed of 154.587 mph (248.784 km/h). That record was then surpassed by the Australian HSV Maloo with a speed of 168.668 mph (271.445 km/h),[4] however the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is still the fastest full-size truck and fastest American truck produced to date.
The Dodge Ram SRT-10 is a sport pickup truck produced by American automaker Dodge in limited numbers. It was introduced at the January 2002 North American International Auto Show, but was not put into production until 2004. Unlike the previous Ram Trucks, the SRT-10 was built solely for the purpose of speed.

[edit] Development
The Dodge Ram SRT was created by DaimlerChrysler's PVO (Performance Vehicle Operations) division, using Dodge Viper and Chrysler Prowler engineers. Extensive wind tunnel testing was used in styling the exterior of the Ram SRT-10. This is the second time that Dodge has put a Viper engine into a Ram pickup. At the 1996 Chicago Auto Show, Dodge introduced a concept Dodge Ram with a Viper Generation 2 engine, but it was not put into production. The Dodge Ram VTS was painted Banzai Blue with dual white skunk stripes, housed a 488 cid V10, a six-speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox, and 17-inch (430 mm) Viper GTS wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 275/60-HR17 Comp T/A HR4 tires.
[edit] Overview
Dodge Ram SRT-10 engine (with aftermarket intake tube)
The SRT-10 featured an 8.3 Liter Viper V10. [1] This engine produced 500 bhp (373 kW; 507 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 525 lb·ft (712 N·m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. The regular cab, with a total curb weight of 5,130 lb (2,330 kg), reached a top speed of 154 mph (248 km/h), and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 4.6 seconds, whereas the Quad Cab, weighing 5,618 lb (2,548 kg), did 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and reached a top speed of 147 mph (237 km/h). The regular cab could complete the 1⁄4 mi (400 m) in 12.8 seconds at 108 mph (174 km/h), the Quad Cab in 13.2 seconds at 106 mph (171 km/h). The engine produced one horsepower for every 10.3 lbs of vehicle weight. The regular cab generated .86 g of grip on a 300 ft (91 m) skidpad, while the Quad Cab generated .83 g.
[edit] Drivetrain
The V10 Viper engine delivered 90 percent of its torque from 1500 to 5600 rpm. The cast aluminum cylinder block had cast-iron liners and cross-bolted main caps. The bore and stroke had been increased over previous Viper models. Compression ratio, firing order, rod length, block height and block length were unchanged from the second-generation Viper engine. The regular cab featured a Tremec T56 six-speed manual transmission, while the Quad Cab utilized a 48RE four-speed automatic transmission modified from the Ram Heavy Duty transmission. Both regular cab and quad cab used a Dana 60 rear axle.

Ratio 2.66:1 1.78:1 1.31:1 1:1 0.74:1 0.5:1 4.10:1 (2004); 4.56:1 (2005-06)
48RE
Gear 1 2 3 4 Final Drive
Ratio 2.45:1 1.45:1 1:1 0.69:1 4.56:1
[edit] Suspension
PVO engineers modified the Ram Heavy Duty's rack and pinion steering and independent front suspension for use in the Ram SRT-10. A fully hydroformed Dodge Ram frame, one of the stiffest in the industry[citation needed], was used in conjunction with a custom tuned suspension, lowering the Ram SRT-10's ride height one inch in the front and two inches in the rear. Bilstein shock absorbers, performance-tuned springs and unique aerodynamic aids were used to enhance the Ram SRT-10's higher speed performance.
[edit] Exterior
The Ram SRT-10 had a unique hood that featured a wide power bulge and hood scoop. The hood scoop allowed cool air to enter as well as forcing hot air to exit from the engine bay, thus helping the to engine run cooler. "Viper Powered" badges were added to the sides of the power bulge, to indicate the SRT-10 engine under the hood. Another exterior feature was a tonneau cover with an attached spoiler that was supposed to come standard on the 2005 Quad Cab version and all 2006 models, but due to manufacturing problems was not installed on nearly half of the Ram SRT-10s intended. To help remedy this situation, Dodge added a $1000 credit and a regular spoiler to the Ram SRT-10s that did not receive the tonneau cover. In addition to style, the spoiler also helped with air flow and provided a reduction in lift and drag. The Ram SRT-10 had a bed size of 6.5 feet (2 m), giving the regular cab an overall length of 17 ft 7 in (5.36 m), and 19 ft 2 in (5.84 m) overall length for the Quad Cab. The Ram SRT-10 also had a lower ride height than regular Ram trucks.
[edit] Interior
The stock stereo system of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 consisted of 8 Infinity brand speakers. It also came with a leather trimmed steering wheel and with heavily bolstered racing-derived suede-trimmed charcoal leather seats. The center stack was adorned with silver trim, and a silver trim strip with the SRT-10 logo resided under the passenger-side air bag cover. Taking a cue from the Dodge Viper, the Ram SRT-10 came with a red start button on the dash. The manual transmission regular cab featured a Hurst shift lever, which sprouted from a silver metal shift bezel and was fitted with a Viper shift knob. Aluminum performance-inspired pedals replaced the stock setup. The gauge cluster featured satin silver-faced gauges and Viper font and graphics. The speedometer and tachometer were recalibrated to match the Ram SRT-10's increased performance.
[edit] Colors
Excluding the special editions, the 2004-2005 Ram SRT-10 came in three colors: Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl Coat, Bright Silver Metallic Clear Coat, and Flame Red Clear Coat. The redesigned 2006 Ram SRT-10 came in Mineral Gray Metallic, Inferno Red, and Brilliant Black Crystal Clear Coat.
[edit] Wheels
The stock 22-inch (560 mm) rims and Pirelli Scorpion P305/40R-22 performance tires gave the SRT-10 the grip that helped it achieve record breaking speed. The brakes for the 2004 model and 2005-06 rears were modified from the Ram Heavy Duty truck for use in the Ram SRT-10. The standard ABS-equipped brakes are fitted with 15-inch (380 mm) rotors in front and 14-inch (360 mm) rotors out back. Each of the large rotors feature unique red calipers. 2004 models used two-piston sliding brake calipers front and rear; these were replaced with larger four-piston mono-block calipers up front in 2005-06, designed by TRW and unique to the SRT-10. Two Nascar-inspired brake cooling ducts integrated into the front fascia provide plenty of cooling for the Ram SRT-10's brakes.
[edit] Quad Cab
Following the success of the Ram SRT-10 regular cab, Dodge decided to introduce a Quad cab version starting in the 2005 model year. The new Quad Cab was aimed at the performance truck enthusiast who wanted a performance pickup, but not at the expense of room for passengers and towing capacity. The Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab was fitted with a 4.56 final-drive gear ratio to improve low-end acceleration and was rated at 7,500-pound (3,400 kg) towing capacity. A body-color aluminum tonneau cover with an aerodynamic spoiler came standard on the Quad Cab. The Quad Cab was only offered with a 4-speed automatic transmission, a 48RE borrowed from the Ram Heavy Duty.

Dont forget about the SRT-6! They sold about 6 of them so thats how they came up with the name on that one. J/K I had the Mercedes version and was a fun car but the Crossfire just did not have it.
