Hey guys hows it going, this is my first post here (hopefully of many). I have been looking around trying to find some information on an 05' quad cab SRT-10 and figured I'd go to straight to the source to find out some of the information. Right now I have an 05' RCSB Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi that I have spent the last 4 years modding to the point that its just about done, running (at its best) a 13.73 in the 1/4. Sadly though after investing so much time and money into it to get it to this point I am going to have to sell/trade it in for something bigger (we're having a kid and the rcsb just isn't going to cut it anymore).
I have been looking at the quad cab SRT-10's for a while now and I think one would make a nice replacement to my current truck. I love the way it looks and power wise it is just what I am looking for (power to weight of my truck should be close to that of the power to weight of a quad cab I would think so it wont feel like I am starting from scratch again but more like starting from where I left off on mine). So here is what I would like to know from those of you that have an 05' Quad Cab:
General:
- Any issues with it being a daily driver?
- Whats the MPG like (City/HWY)?
- Any known issues/problems/recalls?
- Any issues with the read diff blowing up?
- Hows the backseat leg room?
- What is the tune up like? Anything you cant do in your driveway?
Performance wise:
- What is the average 1/4 mile time stock for a quad cab?
- Are there readily available performance parts like there is with the hemi? (Tuning, torque converters, intakes, ported throttle bodies, headers, cams, heads, shift kits, ect.? Most of which was done on my ram and I will more than likely want to do a few right off the start if I end up with an SRT)
- Hows the handling?
- Hows the interior cab noise with an aftermarket exhaust?
- Wheel spin, can you spin them with ease? Caltracs needed?
Anything else you guys would like to add or anything else that I should know/ look for prior to buying please let me know. This will be my daily driver/family trip/weekend track truck so anything you guys can tell me about them first hand the better.
Thank you in advance to all those that can help me out.
