Looking at a 05 RC

[Kodi]

Hello everyone! Well like the title says I am looking at a 05 RC to buy. Truck has 63,xxx miles on it and looks to be in good shape visually! About the truck... He is the 3rd owner and has had it for about 3 years. Bought it stock and modded it to what it is now. I don't remember everything that has been done. But mods include... Custom cam, Belanger Long tubes/full exhaust, custom tune, Centerforce clutch, short throw shifter, catch can, belltech drop with caltracs, 3.55 gears and some other odds and ends I don't remember.

Anyways just wanted some opinions on the truck. Any questions I should ask or what to look out for? I'm new to the SRT-10's but currently have a RC Ram 1500 that I love to death. Just want something a little quicker.
So any info or knowledge you could give me would be helpfully. thanks guys!

Ya didn't say how much. :dontknow:

If it's priced right you can always have it painted red and that would make it a little faster than the current color.

There are members here that know this truck, I'll let them give you their reviews.

Do not by this pos. Stay away. It doesn't have a cam niether. He was one of the biggest liars on this forum.

If you do a search of posts by Gustygecko on this forum, you will see this truck has been hit, put in a ditch and vids of its track time. Also there's a post talking about its owner count and its oil consumption issues that supposedly fixed its self.

I personally knew the owner (unfortunately ) and the truck. If you would like the complete story as why to stay away let me know...

My favorite one of his mods was putting a bead of silicone on cardboard, and in his words rolling it up like a snake for the gasket on the intake....Dude was serious..

I recognized the engine bay but I never knew the story was that thick. Hope the OP checks this thread back out and backs off. What you put on the internet can always come back to bite you!!

Isn't the advice and knowledge on this forum priceless?:rock:

 

[viperhauler]

3.55 gears?

oh yeah - for highway runs :dontknow:

 

[Gecko]

Don't confuse that guy with me! It's not mine! I'm a nice guy!

 

[trussman]

Run as fast as you can. This is the ONLY time I'd say you're better off buying a lightning!

Threads like this really make being on this forum VERY helpful for people!!:rock:

I can remember that truck as well and hopefully you guys have saved the OP some heartache down the road!

Thank you Guys!!! Saved me a lot of headaches down the road. Thought it was a little odd when he claimed he never heard of this site... I will defiantly steer clear of this one. Once again thank you!

His name was Scott If I remember right. Out of Northwest, PA

It's possible he bought and is trying to turn the problem over.
