It's a damn Dodge!!
I feel like a traitor..never owned a car that wasn't a GM product..my wife has, but I haven't!
But it damn sure does put a huge smile on my face when I mash that peddle!!
513rwhp/525rwtq
Bought it in CA and drove it home over 4 days. 2005 SRT10...gets great gas mileage too

Seeing the Grand Canyon

Why is your alternator plumbed to your intake?





















:biggrin: nice truck!

 

[JOHNDEEREGN]

To keep the cold air "charged" dummy :biggrin:

 

[notacarlo]

Aaah. Must be a Mopar thing.

It's the new way of making it an "electric" vehicle
It's sure feels "electric" when it whistles like getting a 120V shock in the azz

X2 We had a shortbed with a six speed come through. What a blast to drive.

Cool truck......

I used to dream about those.. Before I found the GN. I have never road in one.. Im going tlook up some youtube videos .

 

[2QUIK6]

Thanks, I had never driven one either till I agreed to buy it. It's definity a big vehicle, seems even bigger than it is..its 6 inches wider than my Chevy ext cab truck but only about 1 foot longer although it looks huge compared to it.
Needed something with 4-doors, only vehicle I had with a usable back seat was the chevy, and it has well over 200k miles on it and is 16 years old, needed something newer to haul friends around when we go out rather than asking then to drive kind of thing...
Our new business venture has me driving all over and carrying tools and equipment so the old truck is going to stick around for that and now I don't have to unload the darn thing every day in case we go somewhere...

Unbelievably it got about 14mpg on the highway cruising at 75mph, I've read the supercharger actually helps mpg at cruise, maybe its the added tuning dome for the SC...I know its going to suck though around town, but hey I didn't get it to putt putt around in Managed to get me a speeding ticket right when I got into Texas coming home...was a hell of a bastard cop too when it came to my CHL license...He just made me not want to stop if I ever see a cop in trouble

Wow supercharged V10. You can expect a Christmas card from your local gas retail outlet.:biggrin:

 

[xtremexnyc]

I love these trucks. Friend of mine had the two door. So how much money on gas did you spend on your four day drive.

Was about $450 covering 1900 miles.

Bought it on ebay for $22,100 !! Had a For Sale sign under the seat asking $31k for it...its a buyers market right now for rare collector vehicles.
Had 19k miles on it, only flaw was a 1 inch scratch on the front bumper and the glove box lid hangs up on something trying to open it. Everything else is like new...no rocks chips nothing. The SC kit is $8k worth just in parts not counting labor for install.

And it was another first for me...I was at a friend's 40th BD party when I submitted the winning bid on my phone using an "ebay" app on the iPhone....who would have thunk you could do that 10 years ago when I bought my TTA on ebay

 

[deftool]

man thats a beast of a truck, hadnt seen one with a supercharger! nice!

 

[turbo39151]

Sweet ride!!! I have a supercharged Expedition 5.4L v-8 and I can only get 12mpg at 65mph on cruise!

I can't believe the v-10 is getting better mpg

 

[ZNix]

Wow 22k! That's not a bad price for those low of miles. Grats on the buy! Its SWEET looking.
