Just purchased a venomous truck!

[moparmagic]

Just got my 04 silver srt 10 on Monday! Will post pics etc. later. Have a couple general questions. How can I find out which production # the truck is? the truck doesn't have the manual that comes w/ the truck, so what kind of oil, how many quarts...(I'm assuming full synthetic) or how can I get one of those manuals? I'll have more as time goes on, gotta get the spray in liner and thinking of cold air intake... any thoughts, or dont do the intake?

Welcome to the RBC! the truck takes 8.5qts of Mobil 1 0w-40 and i'm
sure one of our vendors could hook you up with the rest Btw, where
are you located in VA? I'm in the Chantilly/Leesburg area :rock:

Regards,

Andrew

aparently stock intake is the only ture cold air intake , it takes air from the wheel well... Put in a drop in K&N...

make sure you check your rear tailshaft seal. i just got an 04 and its needs to be updated with a few things to make the seal from leaking.

You can do a search on oil at the blue bar,Top of page. But i believe call out for 04 is 10-30. At this point it's mostly preference. A drop in K & N would be about $50.00. Welcome:rock:

Also check the crank pulley before you drive it another mile. The bolt has a habit of coming loose...seriously.

Welcome to the Viper Truck Club! Remember to check your clutch fluid as well as your crank bolt. Those are the first things I checked. Clutvh fluid was low and when filled, fixed my issue gear shifting issue!

Mobile 1 10w30. If you're going to use 8.5 qts. I suggest you check the oil level. You shouldn't need more than 9.5 qts. Also, use only Mopar oil filters. If you use anything else you may hear a moaning sound at cold startup. Mopar filters can be purchased at Chrysler for 10-12 bucks, but Wal-Mart sells the right sized Mopar filter for like 4 bucks each. I bought about 10 at one time.

you guys rock :rock: I appreciate all the advice, I will def. go out and check the the above mentioned parts and fluids. and for the guys in Va. asking where, I'm right outside of Leesburg.
