Fake Battery Box??????

[Chuck B]

I recall that its from the 2500 series trucks....

Do the normal 1500 series trucks have the 2nd battery box?

Not at all because there was never a 1500 Diesel. That's what confused me about the reg cabs. Where did this frame come from? Was it specially cut down? I don't think so cause body/ bed mounts would not match up afterwards.

 

[kennygene]

Has anyone compared their frame to the regular 1500 frame? I had always thought it was a modified 1500 but the battery box is all diesel. What the??? Somebody's gotta know!

I have one of the battery tray boxes for sale. Its black with a nice red viper fangs sticker on it. Look out for the for sale thread.

The fake battery tray is an old vestigial organ from when Rams used to be diesels with only 6 cyclinders, way back in prehistoric times. Through many years of mutations, the SRT-10 has evolved into a 10 cylinder gasoline burner, but there is still evidence of its genetic past linking it to the diesels. It's kind of like a human appendix.

And even further back from that they were stored under the drivers feet in a lovely box that held on to all the spilled battery acid so that you could clean it up at some point if you removed the battery and had a small enough arm to fit into the stamped steel.

All of them now have inadvertent drain holes.

The RC is a really just a beefed 1500 frame, there was a RC frame on eBay a while back and it looked just like a 1500 to my eyes with more bracing.

My brothers 06 QC hemi had the dual battery boxes...although I don't know why..and since his is an 06 I think the frame is different:dontknow:
That's such a waste of damn money from Dodge...they should of only put 1 battery box for 1 battery DUH! then use all the money they could have saved to buy Chrysler partly back from Fiat

Portland SRT uses it as a NOS tank holder.

I think it is either a 2500 frame or a special 1500 .:dontknow:

If I remember correctly ( ) the standard 1500 frame would not work with the Viper engine /radiator due to the way it was designed for the offset radiator location for the HEMI and V-6.

The 2500 diesel frame had the radiator centered in the front and had dual battery trays..

Other than hard ware frames are the same biggest difference is suspension.

by my hollander interchange rc trks the frame is srt only. dont make sense i think maybe 3rd shock in the rear other brackets braces that are welded to them.

 

[kennygene]

Sounds like the frame is for sure 1/2 ton. So, what's the deal with 2 battery boxes?

Frame on my 2500 isn't any different just the suspension.
