"VIPER" RAM SRT-10 Build 2014

[ejholt]

I was lucky enough to see the RAM SRT-10 have it's world premiere in April 2004 at the New York Auto Show.

Purchased the truck new in May 2005 in Waterville, ME. 1st Build was completed 1 year later and the truck has pretty much remained the same since:

Almost 10 years later and less then 5K miles on the odometer, I've decided to take it out of storage and give the SRT a good overhaul / modernize as much as possible.....

Build 2:

1) Motor Build, Supercharger, Side Exhaust, and A LOT more - Thanks to Justin @ JMB Performance;
2) Alcantara, Carbon Fiber, and Black Chrome Interior;
3) Exterior Paint (Red) and Darker Stripes (Gunmetal Pearl);
4) Black Chrome Wheels and all Black Chrome Exterior Accessories;
5) Exterior Upgrades - Venom Hood, Daytona Spoiler, Smoked Headlamps, Fog Lights, Tail Lights, 3rd Brake Light, LED Bulb Upgrade All Around, etc.; and
6) Audio (Pioneer / Rockford Fosgate / Infinity) / Security / Telemetry / GPS Tracking / K40 Radar Detector and Laser Jammer Upgrade - Thanks to Troy @ The Amp Lab.

A LOT of surprises to come and I want to Thank everyone whom I have purchased aftermarket parts & put their talents / hearts / souls into the past & current builds.

Cheers!!

Ordered 20 yards of Dark Charcoal Alcantara & 5 yards of Carbon Fiber Vinyl for the Interior and to Wrap & Line all the Amp Racks in the Bed.

Got back most of the interior pieces covered in Alcantara: 1) Headliner, 2) B-Pillars, 3) Visors, and 4) Center Console. Sent back the Driver's A-Pillar with Triple Gauges and Passenger A-Pillar with Grab Handle. Wasn't happy with the quality, so the upholstery is currently redoing. Rest of the Alcantara Interior pieces look great. Changed the interior look & feel significantly.

Amp Racks for the Bed. The Center Amp will be a Rockford Fosgate Power 4000 with 5000+ Watts RMS Power. This will power the custom fiberglass enclosure with 4 Rockford Fosgate Power T1 Subs, each pushing 1200 Watts RMS. 4800 Watts Combined Sub Power.

The 2 Side Amps will be Rockford Fosgate Power 2000 with 3000+ Watts RMS Power each. These will power all the Components, Loudspeakers, and Tweeters in the Cab.

The Cab has 18 Infinity Kappa Series Speakers - 1) 2 Sets - 6 1/2 Components, 2) 2 Sets - 6 x 9 - 3 Way Loudspeakers, and 3) 2 Sets - 6 1/2 - 3 Way Loudspeakers, 4) 2 Sets - 5 x 7 - 2 Way Loudspeakers, and 5) 2 Sets - 1" Tweeters. 5500 Watts Combined Speaker Power.

The Alternator was upgraded to a 400 Watt Ohio Generator.

Replaced all the batteries with 5 - XS Power D3100 Batteries, each capable of Powering 5000+ Watts of Sound. 25,000 Watts Combined Power for the Entire Audio System.

All the wiring has been upgraded to 0 Gauge Power & Negative Lines. Solid Billet Battery Terminals with 0 Gauge Inlets & Outlets.

Each Amp will be sunken in it's own enclosure that will be backlighted by Red LEDs. The floor will have a new 1/4 Clear Acrylic Laser Etched Viper Fang Logo (26" x 24") and SRT-10 Logo (38" x 7") will be covering the batteries against the back of the Bed, which will also be backlighted by Red LEDs.

There are a bunch of other surprises the Audio Team is working on, which I have asked to keep to themselves, until I see it done for the 1st time.

 

[ejholt]

Decided to remove everything that was chrome and replace it with new Black Chrome pieces - 1) Door Handles, 2) Rear Tailgate Handle, 3) Viper License Plate Frame, 4) Shifter, 5) Rear Viper Fang Logo Trailer Hitch Plug, 6) Billet Seat Levers, 7) Shifter Boot Ring, and 8) Factory SRT Wheels.

In addition, removed everything that was clear previous (Headlamps, Fog Lights, 3rd Brake Light, and Rear Taillights) and got all new Smoked Colored Lenses. Changed all the Headlamps & Fog Light HID Bulbs to new LED Bulbs and changed the Interior Lights to LED as well.

Thanks Eric but are you positive about this mod I highlighted?

Super Snake Hood - I'm positive about that Hard to keep track of every single piece of aftermarket and correct product name......

 

[ejholt]

Carbon Fiber pieces are coming together quite nicely. Going to look good with the Alcantara and Black Chrome Interior.

Hopefully I will see these pieces soon. Timeline to complete was 5 days. 6 weeks later, I'm still waiting....... I guess this puts a new meaning to patience and that quality takes time.

Great, I wanted to make sure bud.

Viper Fang and SRT-10 Acrylic Logos are done. Going to look great in the bed.

 

[ViperPete]

Carbon fiber looks awesome.

I gotta get around to doing some work on my interior too. Had a leak in those tubes that run down the C pillar and have a musty smell in the truck now. Think I gotta pull the carpet out

 

[Yellow venom]

Looks great!! Where did you get those battery terminals at???

Thanks! My only heartburn was they told me 5 days, it's been 2 months and I still have yet to get the pieces back.....

I was thinking about changing my carpet as well, it was kinda musty inside, sitting in storage for several years. It's got a good cleaning now and was aired out. Do you know of any places that sell the carpet that is ready to install and requires no cutting? How about the proper color? I think it is Dark Charcoal.

CNF Distribution Home page

They are the best I've ever used and they were cheap. I've paid 10 times for terminals from the top brands and this guy makes some great stuff!!

Justin has been making great progress on the truck. Hoping to have everything back from the machine shop in the next couple of days and waiting on the new supercharger.

Audio Guy has been doing some amazing work in covering all the bed panels in Alcantara and getting the LED wiring set. Getting really excited to see how things will turn out.
