QC axle wind-up

[VIPR PWR]

other than adding cal-tracs or 4-link traction devices ----what controls axle wind-up on the stock quad cab ---is there a pinion snuber and if so does anyone make a adjustable one

Nothing. It's a work truck.

Seems to me the fastest truck on this site is a "work truck", "grocery getter", or whatever else. I will get there.

Here's what Dan Knott, Director of Street Racing and Technology (SRT), told the press about the new truck:

• We knew when we came out with the world's fastest production pickup that there would be customers who would want that same ultimate performance, but in a pickup that offered four-passenger seating and towing capability. So, the question was, 'Can we create a more usable truck for the person who wants to haul more stuff, but is not willing to give up performance?' Our answer is the Dodge Ram SRT-10 Quad Cab: a truck that is just as bad and bold in terms of performance, but a little more capable and versatile in terms of hauling.

A Few Facts

• 8.3-liter Dodge Viper V-10 engine
• 500 horsepower and 525 lb.-ft. of torque
• Four-speed automatic transmission
• 48RE gearbox, adapted from a diesel engine application for its ability to handle large amounts of torque
• Heavy-duty torque converter, custom transmission calibration and two-piece drive shaft, chosen for powertrain performance.
• 4.56 gear ratio to improve launch feel, low-end acceleration and towing capability of up to 7,500 pounds
• Fully hydroformed frame for strength and rigidity

Brakes

• The braking system utilizes heavy-duty components, including four-piston calipers, with 15-inch rotors in the front and 14-inch rotors in the rear
• There's a three-channel anti-lock brake system (ABS)
• Front brakes are cooled with air that's ducted from the front fascia

Exterior Styling
The 2005 SRT-10 features a deep front fascia equipped with a wind splitter, signature cross-hair grille and sculpted sides, and a unique hood with a fully functional air intake that provides added bay cooling. A body-color aluminum tonneau cover, outfitted with a spoiler, is standard.
On the Inside Inside the truck you'll find a Viper-like pushbutton starter, race-inspired, heavily bolstered seats, a leather-wrapped carbon fiber-patterned steering wheel and brushed metal accents on the instrument panel and door trim.2All dimensions are in inches unless otherwise noted.

[Prof]

OK, Silverback, he responded...and how! What's your come back? And keep it short.

 

[Bone]

You can weld the differential completely to the axle, instead of the DC spot welds. 10 min fix.

Okay Roy, here's your answer, short and sweet.

The highlighted statement above is pure marketing bullshit. The QC is not on the same performance level as the RC's.

Now before the QC owners hire a hit man, I have to elaborate.

The RC and QC were designed for different uses. And the QC is a damned fine truck, don't get me wrong. And for that matter there is nothing out there in the same category that performs at the same level. But as it rolled out the factory door, it's not the same as a RC. That's just a statement of fact, and is not to say anything is wrong with the truck.

 

[Bone]

The QC is not on the same performance level as the RC's.

I agree 100%!
Just look at the track times and finishes between the two.

Agreed the RC is a pig as it is...the QC is an over fed hog....the springs, shocks, ride height, transmission, weight, driveshaft, rear axle etc are all for cruising to Home depot....

but as far as 4 doors go....I love it.... all it needed was a few more hp

 

[Silverback]

Kind of selective on the quote were we. :rock:

 

[Scrambler1]

RC springs on a lowered QC are a help. I know Boomer has done several. Go for the Caltracs either way.
