Buying a 2005 SRT-10

[Notcat3]

I just got the loan to buy a used 2005 black with 20000 miles. I know nothing about these trucks except that I love the power. Can any of tell me what I need to be looking out for problem wise in the year. I know that every truck model has there own issues. I just can't afford to make a major mistake with this purchace

Regular Cab or Quad Cab?

It's a regular cab

pinion bearings in the rear axle...from excessive burnouts

early 05's may have an issue with the weatherstripping and the crank bolt working loose...

check the PS lines and oil exchanger lines..they're probably leaking...if not, they will...

other than that...

pretty much a great truck...

Welcome and best of luck to you with your new truck.
A couple of things:
Leaky oil lines
loose harmonic balancer (Damper) bolt
Door catches gasketing causing rip at the A pillar

I will take it to a dealer to get it looked at but I know that you guys are the experts. It has been a dream of mine to own one of these trucks. Every dime I have is going into the purchace price and it freeks me out thinking what if I miss something major.....HELP!...... I really need your advice. Thanks in advance for your time on this!
