MY MOTOR HAS METAL IN THE OIL :(

[john b]

There is one for sale on kijiji in Hamilton Ontario. 10,000 dollars.

 

[seethrough]

I have a stock '05 auto motor with around 10k miles on it that I would consider selling for the right price. It is still in the truck but will be coming out soon and getting replaced with a forged motor.

Junkyards, wrecking companies, salvage places & auto recyclers are not full of Viper trucks waiting to be stripped. only two places maybe actually deal with Vipers

Usable engine cores are not available to rebuilders like Jasper etc. (thank God)

Viper parts are not kept in stock at the most auto stores like O'Reillys, auto zone or napa.

Few shops have the machinery/tools to refurbish a Viper engine. Plus you need somebody that knows what they're doing with them

If the SRT10 Ram had a "Hemi" in it you could get a crate engine with a credit card and one phone call.

You can do that for a Viper also...... or so they advertise. ......

30k should get you fully forged, head work, nitrous and procharger.

If I blew an engine in only 40,000 miles I wonder how long it would take me to blow one with NO2 and a turbo :burnout:

I have no compression in the #1 cylinder in my V10 and the rings and valves are in good shape. Anyone know what's going on in my engine

He said "BETTER TO BUY A USED SRT10 Ram in the paper and junk this one! This is my first experience with this kind of situation! WTF is going on? Sure I have spent 10 years in a cubical ignoring the world and I do not get out much but this kind of news is just NUTS! Can't get engine parts? REALLY! Can anyone help me understand and get me a source?

You are in San Diego correct? Was this Carl Burger Dodge that is telling you this? They are supposed to be an SRT Dealer.
If I were you I'd seek out Dan Cragin at Specialty Performance up in Alhambra, CA. That Lad knows his shit times 1000.

I have a engine out of totaled truck w/3600 miles on it, has long tube headers, comp coupe cam w/ controller, roe racing tb, stainless valves, it was rebuilt 2 years ago I have all the receipts.. I also have the 6speed trans as well, it was upgraded to bronze syncros while I had it apart..

the entire motor is painted bright red, " everything" its a heat paint so I can take the abuse..

As seen below ............

you may have a bad lifter. Have your oil tested by an independant testing place. Don't trust the dealership's opinion. In other words,, Get a second opinion before you burn the truck
