That is not the previous owners name, but it could be the guy he got it from. According to the Carfax(CLEAN) it has had three owners. It has spent its life in the Dallas area and recently SE Louisiana, and now in the houston area.
Are these OEM? Mopar Electronic Supression
The truck does still have the '04 front calipers, if anybody in the Houston area wants to trade for me for their '05+ calipers so they can run some drag wheels I'm all ears, LOL.

So far my modifications include a
*Comp Cam
*T&D Shaft Rockers
*Pushrods
*Valve Springs
*L/T American Racing Headers w/ cats
*Full Magnaflow Exhaust
*Custom CAI
*JTS Venom 2/3 lowering kit
*ARP Head Bolts
*SCT Tune
*170 Degree Thermostat
*Custom Quality Wire Plug Wires
*Powder Coated Valve Covers and Intake
*Viper Alarm
*5% Tint on all three windows
*Pioneer Single Din Head Unit
*Focal Components

*Bed Cover with a Bed Rug
This truck has been a long time coming for me, both my daughters just finished college so finally I could get the truck I always fantasized about I look forward to sharing experiences and tips with everyone. Thanks

I have owned the truck about a month now and i have added some style and power. The crank pulley seems to be tight and I installed JTSVP power steering lines because the old ones were leaking. I already have the JTSVP Oil lines but, I am going to wait to install them until the next oil change so I don't make as much of a mess. I removed the spare/jack/tools but decided to leave the trailer hitch afterall. The truck deffinately has 4:56's because it does 90mph @ 6,000rpm in 3rd and 2,000rpm @ 80mph in 6th. I added Mobil 1 Synthetic 75w140 to the diff. and Pennzoil synchromesh to the trans, I no longer have to man hadle it into reverse. I also removed the rubber bushing from the shifter and I shortened it 2.5."
I removed the intake and it turns out I have an ROE TB. I must have one of the good ones because I don't have any idle issues or surging, and it sounds awesome.

I also added a JTSVP 170deg. thermostat and installed my SCT from Torrie last night. The engine/oil temps. now stay under 200deg. and the oil pressure is higher. I ported the manifolds ( http://www.vtcoa.com/forums/f8/my-ported-manifolds-53300/#post1102735 ), deleted the cats at a local muffler shop, and added a Magnaflow #12568. I made my own mechanical O2 simulators using a write up I found online, cost was about $8. I spent less than $500 in the exhaust and then I sold the stock cats for $144.. The plastics that are behind the grille and sit next to the A/C condenser were faded so I took them off because I wanted to paint them. Once I took them off I liked the new look better and I noticed that now the air filter will get a nice shot of cool air.

I added a silver, stubby antenna. The Dodge emblem was shaved off the tail gate aswell as the Ram emblems from the doors. The door/tail gate handles/cowl/perimeter of bed cover, plastics around license palte lights were painted. The grille was painted black, the front license plate holes were filled, and eyebrows were painted on the head lights. I decided not to paint the mirrors because I think that makes them look to big, and I think aftermarket mirrors look to small. I decided not to have any lights smoked because everybody around here has that done, but I had the reflectors on the door panels smoked.
The SRT 10 emblem had to be moved closer to the edge of the door after removing the RAM emblem.
I also removed the seal and pad that is on the cowl panel in the engine bay. IMO it looks better and it will let more air out.

The SRT 10 Emblem on the tail gate was lowered.
Viper center caps.
Viper steering wheel emblem.
I'm waiting on my Viper hood emblem to arrive from JTSVP.

I still don't know if the spark plug wires on the truck are stock. The clutch feels new and the fluid looks new. There is a braided line that goes from the clutch fluid reservoir to the trans. Do I have upgraded clutch hydraulics?
