Hello Everyone,
Picked up an 05 Reg Cab Silver, last fall from Reno, NV. I wasnt really looking to buy one, but it was a deal I couldnt pass up, and boy am I glad I didnt pass it up. This truck hauls some serious a%$. I was actually looking for a viper motor-tranny combo for a different project, and stumbled across this truck. Drove it back from Reno to WI, made incredible time, these trucks love doing triple digits all day long. I know, Im preaching to the choir, but that was the easiest and quickest drive I have ever done through NV and Utah. I have designated it to be my new drag truck. My father sold the barracuda drag car that we raced about 6 years ago, and I have been itching to get out lately, so I found your website, found an old thread about ET drag radials and decided to get a set. Just so happened that someone on here was selling a set. BTW thanks for the info, and the tires and rims. I am more of an old iron guy, but I loved the power of the viper since I rented one down in Vegas. Ill get pics up in spring after she gets out of the garage. Had to go to Cali the week after I got it and wouldnt ya know it, I got back and there was 13 inches of snow on the ground, so my srt-10 driving season was very short. While in the garage though, thought I would do some work to it, trucks in great shape, but is a rebuilt title vehicle, so it has a few things it needs worked on. Trailer brake module in cab but no receiver, damn scavengers, broken shifter nob(had the old style pistol grip on it, looks like that puts to much stress on the top of that shifter lever), no spare tire, couple nuts and screws missing in the front, I am thinking it had front end damage, sub crackles, rack needs to be replaced. Got reman rack from AZ, got lifetime warranty because I figure I will be replacing it again since it sounds like they go out on the dodge trucks frequently. Picked up a factory tonneau cover and the other parts from x2 builders. Truck is mostly stock, has aftermarket cold air intake and cat back exhaust. I want to do some other mods before the race season starts, any suggestions would be great. I have the et drag radials already, but not sure how far I can go with mods before I wont have traction. Dont really want to waste the money on mods that wont be realized on the track. Well, I am a mopar guy through and through, my list includes, 77 charger daytona 50k miles, 75 4x4 panther pink van 30k miles, 66 dodge coronet 500 convertible, 78 dodge 4x4 short box. Thanks for the website and look forward to chiming in. Spence from WI :burnout:
