I was wondering that as well, I'm familiar with having to bulletproof a motor, The LS1s are the same way.
I do have a DD, this will just be my Toy. I have a Dodge 03 QC as my DD/People hauler

The 04 having 4:10s is a def selling point for me, I had 4:10s in my car and loved them, Had to put the stockers back in due to a shop fkn up my 4:10 install

The 4:56's are LOTS more fun, especially with the 6 spd.
a reg. 1500 as opposed to the hot rod 1500:dontknow::aetsch::rock:

to say the 04 was an option would be to say a viper on a trailer was an option.
not like they stuck the v-10 in a hemi.

just sayin, thats my understandin/belief. answers a few wonderins i had on the '04's compared to the '05's & '06's.
like red painted Hemi front brakes, the welded crossmember on the '04's compared to the bolted one on the '05/'06. & a few others

04 SRT-10's were definitely an option package ,not a completely different model
I had the window sticker to prove it
shows the option code and price
05's and 06's were just sold as SRT-10's
it is a fact

MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CODE CHANGE, BUT NOT A NEW TRUCK vs A HEMI WITH UPGRADES. sorry caps,
just the way they labeled it.
da boy just don't get it :toilet:

So lets get to making offers. Mine was owned by Derek Poundstone and the truck has a good reputation. I love it but I have 2 kids now and the rc is too small, not to mention I dont want to spend my extra cash on fuel anymore.

Oh!!! another question. Does the T-56 in the SRT 10's have that annoying @$$ skip shift like the LS1's?? I had mine removed via tune but just something I would like to know

NO skipshift, Thank GOD!
OK, there are many things that set an 04-05 apart from an 06!!
1. Frame
2. Dashboard
3. Door Panels
4. Fenders
5. Grille
6. Front Bumper cover. ( I love both designs)
7. Weight ( due to frame a lil bit heavier,few lbs.)
8. Seats
9. Stereo options including the RB? with the DVD player
10. Color options ( Pearl Black, GRAY, and Inferno RED Pearl) vs. the standard 3 main colors the 04-05 were RED, BLACK, and SILVER.
SPECIAL model like VCA, CE, and Yellow Fever as well.
11. Front suspension components.

My 2 cents...
04 - my first concern is buying the first model year of anything....if I remember right, some of these had issues with a bolt on the front of the motor.....otherwise, I think most people on the forum had less problems with these than I would have expected....
05 - I owned an RC, loved it....sometimes hitting 3rd can be a challenge, but otherwise, it was a great truck.....75 mpg was only 1700 rpm in 6th and I got 18mpg on the highway, so, 4.56 seems to be a good choice....the seats are comfy and so is the armrest...solid truck....
06 - I owned a Nightrunner QC, loved it more....the paint is amazing....the 06's have a heavier frame, which is a bonus IMHO....I also preferred the front ends and interior on the 06's, especially the seats....downside is the center armrest is fixed, so it's only a 2 seater up front, and it's hard plastic, which sucks on your elbow on long trips....
My preference is the 06's, but any of them is a good buy....best vehicle on the road....
