Houston Mechanic & Body Swap

[RMBLFSH]

Greetings~

I have swapped a 1953 Dodge B4B onto my 2004 SRT10, not complete but at a point to fire up the engine. Everything ran before I did the swap, I have all harnesses reconnected, grounds, etc. Instrument cluster/lights/power accessories all power up fine but Engine won't crank when I push to start. Going to continue troubleshooting what might have been missed during the install but wanted ask if anyone has a good viper truck mechanic in Houston that makes house calls?...

Thanks in advance!

as in the starter motor not workin???

clutch saftey switch on a manual or saftey netural switch on the auto???

Mine was doing the same thing and it was just a loose relay, but I jumped the starter to test it out, fired right up.

 

[RMBLFSH]

Have to give that a go, it's the 6 speed manual.

 

[RMBLFSH]

Not sure what is causing it, only tried push to start and got nothing. Need to buy a code reader as well.

I'm not followin'... Isn't a 1953 B4B something that shouldn't be associated with S-R-T?

You put an engine from a 1953 vehicle into a 2004 SRT10? I am confused!

i'm readin it as he has put 1953 body on a Viper Ram chassis

 

[RMBLFSH]

Correct, old dodge pickup body with v10 engine/running gear.

Alright, not sure this helps but ran the C-codes on the instrument panel and it popped a bunch of door codes and AE and A4. I understand why AE is coming up as the airbags aren't plugged in. The A4 is the one that I think may be the culprit, I found this on the web " Ignition run/start circuit rationality check" but have no idea what that means in English....

can ya convert the A4 code to an OBDII code.

like the P0000 codes???

 

[RMBLFSH]

Would a A4 code cause it to not crank? Only other codes are AE which I am sure is because I don't have them installed and the door codes.

 

[RMBLFSH]

No, I need to buy a code reader to plug into the obd.

 

[RMBLFSH]

Any recommendations on best reader?

 

[ZCx]

depends how into it ya need.

just a reader/code clearer any from NAPA, AutoZone, etc. will do ya good & a fair price.

to monitor & run a few tests jump up in price.

just have to see what they have on hand

Look who's talking, we asked that about your racing.

Houston....we have ignition! Huge props go out to serioushp here in H town, figured it out in a couple hours that it was just a bad relay. They were fantastic and will likely have them work on my other srt and ctsv.

Now the road begins to 1200 hp.
