blueviper 7171 roblox no. Not into mods. I had a rover 75 that got totalled, 2 renault 12 and an opel kadett. I just like the looks of the avenger but want a diesel but dont know much about the 2.0 crd engine or bugs that may occur
@@littledeel I have a lifted 87 Ford F-250 4X4 460cid 5 speed 56,047 miles, 8 FT WESTERN I was thinking about putting new seats in it,and I just thought the seats are pretty cool.
Not a Chrysler guy, but imagine walking into the dealership in 2004 seeing this truck on the show room floor. Way nicer than the fca Rams today. Love the truck!
it has outlasted any FCA Ram,too. my brother had a 2011 and a 2012 Ram, and the 2011 was returned because the transmission was screwed after 20000 kms, and the 2012 got traded in for a 2013 F-150 because the brakes were starting to go after 1 year and it was rusting out after 1 Alberta winter(we rarely salt roads out here). I've seen the newer ones having an array of electrical issues.
My first car was a 1983 Plymouth Horizon and my latest is a 2006 Chrysler 300c SRT 8. I've had it about a year and it is awesome. If you ever have a chance to pick up an SRT(8) as a second vehicle, you're in a class of a few and I don't think you'll have any regrets.
Funny newer trucks like the 4th gen ram loose value real quick... That's also how I'll probably be able to more easily afford a 2018 sometime after 2025-2030
That truck is beautiful. It was like the Hellcat during its time. I have a 2013 Charger SRT with a 6.4 V8. I really do think Dodge makes some of the best monsters out there.
The nice thing about those 8.3L engines is they were built at a specialty shop, not at the now days Mexico Fiat Chrysler plant that is known for bad lifters and whiped cams. Those viper engines were built right, and have the bottom end to handle big turbos stock.
Andrew They are very similar as far as 0-60 times, the SRT does have an edge in power and torque but the Lightning is significantly lighter by 1,000 lbs so the times are extremely close.
I'd take the Dodge, just because its way more outrageous. The Lightning though, with a few mods(its supercharged from the factory) would blow the doors off the Viper truck though.
Andrew true but that blower on the lightning makes it very mod friendly. Stock for stock the ram is faster. But remember both are car enthusiast vehicles and most enthusiasts mod their cars. A smaller pulley and ported blower make the lightning miles faster than an srt10 ram with long tubes and new intake. Both probably are equivalent in mod prices.
I remember in 2006 and the gas prices kept shooting up. You could get a used 2004 SRT10 in the low $20K’s. Almost bought one but knew my wife would have been pissed with that mpg. Now the same 04 will still be low $20K’s with low miles.
I didn't know about this truck until yesterday. The guy im working with now has one and carries all his tools in the bed. Today he did actually go to the hardware store and carried back two sheets of plywood so some people do actually use their trucks for utility. Fyi lol.nice truck btw, very clean looking.
Absolutely. I removed mine after noticing my already high temperature seemed to play around that 205 degrees just a bit longer than I cared for. This truck already runs high.
Your crank up at 1:58 shows you are running on the warm side. Prob around 215F. These engines run hot. Stock 190 temp thermostat doesn’t flow soon enough after hard driving in the summer heat. Throw a 170 temp thermostat in and a tune that also turns the fans on sooner. It’ll pay off in the long run. I own one too. Just trying to help.
A friend of mine bought one of these trucks probably 7-8 years ago I think he had it less than a month before he flipped it, was ejected and died R.I.P. Mike
Sorry to hear about your friend. As I was watching this video, I kept thinking that an 8.3L Viper V10 + a pickup body with an empty bed = recipe for disaster. This is a very unique and powerful vehical that you have to be careful with.
Own a 2005 SC in Bright Silver Metallic with chrome side pipes and it's not some garage queen either...just hit 80K miles and still runs strong while winning awards at the local car shows. He forgot to mention that the standard cabs had the Hurst 6-speed manual, while the quad cabs all had 4-speed automatics. Also a array of special editions were built and these trucks were assembled in Saltillo, Mexico. If interested in more info visit Viper Truck Club of America.
I have a 2004 Dodge ram. I put the SRT 10 hood on it. Made one hell of a difference appearance wise. The truck is silver but I painted the hood scoop black. The avatar is my truck or as my wife calls it...my mistress lol
Hi I have an 05, black on black. The hood scoop actually blows cool air over the whole engine and out the bottom. It also allows the engine to vent out all that heat after you park. Also noticed your short shifter stick might be on backwards. Easy fix. Also those forged aluminum wheels in mint factory condition are worth $6-$8k hope you didn't powder coat them.
I have a 2005 Daytona edition that has the exact same trim package and fin. Mine is a burnt mango orange color with a black fin and black Daytona decals.
OH YES. i remember when they cam out. i call it the little red express that never was. if i remember right on the V 10 . they spent a lot of time working with the fireing order to reduce the natural out of balance in the V 10.
A few years back our local Carmax had a couple...shoulda bought one ! I'm a fan of regular cab trucks. Your bed is longer by a foot or more than these 4 door living room on wheels trucks.
Lamborghini's 10 cylinder was the perfect fit for the Dodge Ram. That truck is still fast by today's standard. I drive an 04 3500 diesel Ram so I'm biased on the looks. Be safe they are getting harder to find in good stock condition.
What a beautiful truck and that v10 is Bulletproof. Guys are putting turbos on those engines and putting over a thousand horsepower on the stock motor and they can handle it no problem now that's an engine
I have a 06 4door with a 8inch lift 38inch tires staright axle swap twin trubo. Im pushing 899whp and 914trq pulls good had to get the speed trans brand new for the extra hp.
Love the truck, but get rid of the Daytona wing. You need the right SRT10 wing. Nice truck man, not dogging it. And yes i own an 05 SRT10. I have an extra factory wing..
scottys garage always looks like a time capsule lol .... i love it... Imagine what it will be worth several years from now, if he AUCTIONS off some of that stuff
As a previous Viper truck owner, I can say that owning one these can get expensive. Only uses high octane gas, gets 9 miles to the gallon, manufacturer recommends using Mobile 1 oil for oil changes, and expensive to insure. Yeah it's a great truck and I can't say that it wasn't a blast to drive but whenever I wanted to go out on a typical Sunday drive along the countryside, I had to plan my budget around that. And if you want to keep it as bone stock as you can, I once went to a Dodge dealer and asked what a set of tires would cost me. They told me for the same set (same make and size), it would run about $2,000. Yeah, I could've gone somewhere else but could they get me the same ones? Overall it was awesome but hard to own when you have a few mouths to feed and a mortgage on top of you and in California.
Gas guzzling thing... I almost got one but the gas mileage killed it for me.. my ram 1500 rumble bee sucked enough... I got rid of it... but it's a sweet looking ride..
Hey scotty absolutely a great choice for car of the week! Wow what a truck...I own an 2009 ram 1500 st basic white but with some simple options. Only a 4.7 v8 but nice power and with my flowmaster she sounds wonderful. I appreciate all you do
Crazy is it might sound I didn't even know that was trucks existing until about 6 months ago. But I'm glad that this young guy took the time to make a video on it because it is a very beautiful pizza artwork that is functional that engine is mine blowing beautiful The sound that it makes to stock is crazy I would never get tired of that either especially when you let off and it pops off so that sounds so awesome. I enjoy the burn out the end to
I got to drive one of these in college. My buddy's dad bought one and he brought it up. Thing was fun but it broke traction like crazy. Though I won't lie, I think I liked the lightning more. Some day I need to drive the SS.
Nice truck. I remember the days when that truck first hit the streets its was a beast. GMC also let a couple out the Syclone and Typhoon. They didn't have the Top End the Viper truck did but they were killers off the line. Nice truck thanks for sharing.
I have an 01 ram single cab. Basically the last of the 2nd gens. I love my truck. The only down side I think about these trucks is parts are a little higher than id like them to be.... but, i do all my own maintenance, and religiously. So i get to cut most of the cost. Bout the only thing i can't do is alignments. I also have a dad in law that helps me with the big stuff. Like my original trans took a dump so we pulled it into his shop and put a new used one in in about 5 hours. He's a 30 year ase certified mechanic. Transmission jobs suck though... lol
Scotty I have a 1989 Mercedes 300 se . The issues I am having when I drive it then shut it off later when I go back to restart it it cracks but no start . I replaced fuel injectors cap and rotor and fuel pump filter and plug wires . I ever replaced the coil. Still the same thing-happens. And sometimes u can restart and it turns on can u tell me what might be wrong ...
Nice truck. Right amount of cylinders, right amount of doors, right transmission. Don't like the spoiler, but if needed at 150mph, you get a pass. And , yes, it is great to haul (@$$).
Pretty badass, but they should have offered a second "sleeper" model if you ask me. Imagine that setup but in a regularly dressed stock ram with no badges indicating a V10 and no extra loud exhaust. That would be badass.
The hood scoop is an option on RT models also, and lots of guys put them one their standard Rams as well. You could even direct swap hoods with a regular Ram. For me, the biggest giveaways are the giant red Brembo Brake calipers....

hi
Hello
Scotty Kilmer Scotty Kilmer is the 2.0 crd engine from vag on a 2008 -2012 dodge avenger a good choice? What overall problems can i encounter?
Bung Hole the ricer disease
blueviper 7171 roblox no. Not into mods. I had a rover 75 that got totalled, 2 renault 12 and an opel kadett. I just like the looks of the avenger but want a diesel but dont know much about the 2.0 crd engine or bugs that may occur
All the gas stations love this truck!
Smiles per gallon
Better driving it than see it in the garage.
Gas is cheap, so are thrills in that truck before you get to the next station XD
And I do to. Screw electric and economy.
The still get like 13 in town and 18 on the highway, Pretty comparable to a modern toyota tundra lol
You cant haul anything in it ????
YOU CAN HAUL ASS !!!!
I REALLY like your seats.
He sure can 😂
bill thompson your seats?
@@littledeel I have a lifted 87
Ford F-250 4X4 460cid 5 speed 56,047 miles, 8 FT WESTERN
I was thinking about putting new seats in it,and I just thought the seats are pretty cool.
A guy on Instagram hauls his viper with a ram srt
True, true...
This is easily one of my favorite trucks. V10 from a Viper dude and a 6-Speed MT to boot. Defense deserves the attention he gets because of the truck.
Wow 8.3 liter engine. Nice sounding too. We wont see that size again.
neftv1 i mean the most recent viper is an 8.4. 2017 was only a few months ago.
koniko169 yeah true but it'd be better to just build turbo v8 than a big V10.
4th gen Ram 1500 SRT with am 8.3 🤔
TheAnonymousConnor 5.7*🤣
Only 500bhp too.. the E60 M5 V10 has 507bhp/500nm’s and it’s a 5.0 litre V10. Still love the viper engine though!! What a beast.
Not a Chrysler guy, but imagine walking into the dealership in 2004 seeing this truck on the show room floor. Way nicer than the fca Rams today. Love the truck!
it has outlasted any FCA Ram,too. my brother had a 2011 and a 2012 Ram, and the 2011 was returned because the transmission was screwed after 20000 kms, and the 2012 got traded in for a 2013 F-150 because the brakes were starting to go after 1 year and it was rusting out after 1 Alberta winter(we rarely salt roads out here).

Should be "the secret that makes a 15 year old truck worth $30,000"
Good idea, thanks for the help, that is better. It's hard to come up with the best video titles putting out 2 every day, thanks.
They are more like $20K around here, (unless they have like only 5K miles on them)
So how would you like it, paypal or check?
This truck is barely worth 14k lmao
Funny newer trucks like the 4th gen ram loose value real quick... That's also how I'll probably be able to more easily afford a 2018 sometime after 2025-2030
Thanks for detailing it, cleaning the engine and vacuuming the interior! It made it worth watching. Awesome truck!
That truck is beautiful. It was like the Hellcat during its time. I have a 2013 Charger SRT with a 6.4 V8. I really do think Dodge makes some of the best monsters out there.
I have BOTH: 2013 Charger SRT-8 (32/392) and a 2005 Ram SRT-10. The wife has a 2015 Infiniti Q70L 5.6, so gas stations LOVE us!
That thing is LOUD!
The nice thing about those 8.3L engines is they were built at a specialty shop, not at the now days Mexico Fiat Chrysler plant that is known for bad lifters and whiped cams. Those viper engines were built right, and have the bottom end to handle big turbos stock.
I just brought a 2004 rumble bee that truck is hard
Lucky bastard
Scotty says you should pull that engine and go with one from a 1990's Toyota Celica
😂😂
this car was featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix.
👍🏼 if you remember that game
Actually
Yes I remember.
How could I forget
Buck me in the behind got damn that's a beautiful truck I used to own a 5.9 dodge Dakota but this takes the whole cake love the truck
Island Mike no 🤨... I like it raw 😑
That 5.9 is a great engine especially in the Dakota
YungDro Productions lmao
Chance Cervantes yea i had to give it away due to engine blowing up on me :(
YungDro Productions oh man how did that happen?
I had the privilege of test driving one of this about 15 years ago.
I know why this guy fell in love with it.
Driving it was a spiritual experience!
SVT Lightning vs Ram SRT10 would’ve made a nice comparison video.
It would have, but the dodge is really in a class of its own.
Andrew They are very similar as far as 0-60 times, the SRT does have an edge in power and torque but the Lightning is significantly lighter by 1,000 lbs so the times are extremely close.
I'd take the Dodge, just because its way more outrageous. The Lightning though, with a few mods(its supercharged from the factory) would blow the doors off the Viper truck though.
SVT all the way
Andrew true but that blower on the lightning makes it very mod friendly. Stock for stock the ram is faster. But remember both are car enthusiast vehicles and most enthusiasts mod their cars. A smaller pulley and ported blower make the lightning miles faster than an srt10 ram with long tubes and new intake. Both probably are equivalent in mod prices.
Very clean SRT-10 truck! Viper Powertrain gives all the bragging rights to an owner of one of these awesome trucks!
I remember in 2006 and the gas prices kept shooting up. You could get a used 2004 SRT10 in the low $20K’s. Almost bought one but knew my wife would have been pissed with that mpg. Now the same 04 will still be low $20K’s with low miles.
One of my dream cars.
Viper Truck!!!! Looks like a descendant the 1970's Dodge Lil' Red Express.
I love my truck. Nothing beats a badass viper truck. The only thing about the trucks is finding a decent sounding exhaust for it
A ram, with ram air
RelentLess Enterprises But in other trucks we just call it air lol
RelentLess Enterprises yo8 figured that out all on your own? Lol
R2
I didn't know about this truck until yesterday. The guy im working with now has one and carries all his tools in the bed. Today he did actually go to the hardware store and carried back two sheets of plywood so some people do actually use their trucks for utility. Fyi lol.nice truck btw, very clean looking.
The dash isn't all cracked? How did he manage that? It's a huge problem on these Rams.
Mozzie he probably laminated it! Lol🤣😂...the dash on those things usually do crack for sure.🇺🇸🇯🇲
Maybe replaced when the navigation system was swapped in. Nav wasn't an option in 2004
My dash isn't cracked, it's simple. You put a dash mat on it BEFORE it cracks. Prevention 101.
Probably has a more premium plastic and doesn't spend much time baking in the sun
I have an 05 and it still not cracked
Remove the intake, the hood scoop is there to cool the motor because of how hot it runs and u have it covered 🤦♂️
Absolutely. I removed mine after noticing my already high temperature seemed to play around that 205 degrees just a bit longer than I cared for. This truck already runs high.
Your crank up at 1:58 shows you are running on the warm side. Prob around 215F. These engines run hot. Stock 190 temp thermostat doesn’t flow soon enough after hard driving in the summer heat. Throw a 170 temp thermostat in and a tune that also turns the fans on sooner. It’ll pay off in the long run. I own one too. Just trying to help.
That truck rocks,bad to the bone!!! Little red pickup...
A friend of mine bought one of these trucks probably 7-8 years ago I think he had it less than a month before he flipped it, was ejected and died
R.I.P. Mike
Bryan C gr8 story m8
Bryan C reason why to never buy a dodge
BrEEzy TonY, ya their trucks have pretty bad safety ratings
Bryan C I’ve seen a vid where a guy flipped his over in a ditch...he lived tho
Sorry to hear about your friend. As I was watching this video, I kept thinking that an 8.3L Viper V10 + a pickup body with an empty bed = recipe for disaster. This is a very unique and powerful vehical that you have to be careful with.
Thanks scotty for giving dodge a chance
I’ve always been a big fan of the Ram SRT10. I took a ride in one once and I was pretty much stuck to the seat. It was awesome.
I stared into Scotty’s garage and I saw something staring back.
LMAO!!! :-)
The thing that lives in my garage ate what you saw in Scotty's garage..
So basically a viper inside a Ram shell very interesting and cool :)
Good choice getting the wheels powder coated. It really does make the truck look badass! Very clean truck!
Own a 2005 SC in Bright Silver Metallic with chrome side pipes and it's not some garage queen either...just hit 80K miles and still runs strong while winning awards at the local car shows. He forgot to mention that the standard cabs had the Hurst 6-speed manual, while the quad cabs all had 4-speed automatics. Also a array of special editions were built and these trucks were assembled in Saltillo, Mexico. If interested in more info visit Viper Truck Club of America.
Excellent review and made me want to buy one.
Man Bada$$ Truck!!! I got an 04 Hemi still runs clean. All in the maintenance. Some vehicles will last.
Hood scoop being functional is a nice touch
4.9 in a truck rock on brother. Hauling with the whole family!
I got a buddy who has one and did the same hood scoop mod, definitely a must, I hate fake hood scoops...
I have a 2004 Dodge ram. I put the SRT 10 hood on it. Made one hell of a difference appearance wise. The truck is silver but I painted the hood scoop black. The avatar is my truck or as my wife calls it...my mistress lol
That’s a nice truck, I would take the spoiler off though, they never look good on a pick up.
I'm not American, but I NEED ONE RIGHT NOW!!!
Hi I have an 05, black on black. The hood scoop actually blows cool air over the whole engine and out the bottom. It also allows the engine to vent out all that heat after you park. Also noticed your short shifter stick might be on backwards. Easy fix. Also those forged aluminum wheels in mint factory condition are worth $6-$8k hope you didn't powder coat them.
No doubt about it. You can make any car on the road look sexier just by blacking out the wheels. Contrast ftw!
I’m a Chevy guy but you have a nice truck, and that is a nice engine.
I have a 2005 Daytona edition that has the exact same trim package and fin. Mine is a burnt mango orange color with a black fin and black Daytona decals.
I don’t like Dodge Trucks but this one has always been an exception :). Great truck!!
OH YES. i remember when they cam out. i call it the little red express that never was. if i remember right on the V 10 . they spent a lot of time working with the fireing order to reduce the natural out of balance in the V 10.
A few years back our local Carmax had a couple...shoulda bought one ! I'm a fan of regular cab trucks. Your bed is longer by a foot or more than these 4 door living room on wheels trucks.
AWESOME TRUCK. AWESOME VIDEO
These are better than the ford lightning and Chevy SS congratulations on your exotic pick up tuck not a lot like yours brother!
Lamborghini's 10 cylinder was the perfect fit for the Dodge Ram. That truck is still fast by today's standard. I drive an 04 3500 diesel Ram so I'm biased on the looks. Be safe they are getting harder to find in good stock condition.
Really nice - and rare. The exhaust is perfect with a nice, visceral sound. I wouldn't mind owning it myself!
Does it get 3mpg?
D Gillies I average 9.5
Dude my 5.9 way I drive averages 7 how tf do you manage to do that I’m guessing it’s Bc you have 5th and 6th gear
*SRT10* ❤️ Woo Hoo!!! Viper in a truck!
What a beautiful truck and that v10 is Bulletproof. Guys are putting turbos on those engines and putting over a thousand horsepower on the stock motor and they can handle it no problem now that's an engine
Damn, Scotty garage is jacked up. Lol
Love them I have a 05 yellow fever six speed single cab
badass truck
Dustin Krueger great sound!
I got 05 SRT 10 quad cab, perfect for the family and towing.
Badass truck man well done!!
I have a 06 4door with a 8inch lift 38inch tires staright axle swap twin trubo. Im pushing 899whp and 914trq pulls good had to get the speed trans brand new for the extra hp.
There are a few of those for sale in my area for $17k to $25k. Clean titles, only difference is mileage, mods, and colors.
Love the truck, but get rid of the Daytona wing. You need the right SRT10 wing. Nice truck man, not dogging it. And yes i own an 05 SRT10. I have an extra factory wing..
Wondering if putting a flowmaster on it would make it sound deeper.
I don't like that rattle sound exhaust...sounds like a V6 with fart cans.
I agree 🚗MIDASIZE- it
scottys garage always looks like a time capsule lol .... i love it... Imagine what it will be worth several years from now, if he AUCTIONS off some of that stuff
Tyler thanks auto correct/Siri screwed me
I prefer that 4 door, but the sound! OMG :D
What about 8.9 MPG down hill
A Viper V-10 is just fucking gnarly no matter what its in...
beautiful truck
As a previous Viper truck owner, I can say that owning one these can get expensive. Only uses high octane gas, gets 9 miles to the gallon, manufacturer recommends using Mobile 1 oil for oil changes, and expensive to insure. Yeah it's a great truck and I can't say that it wasn't a blast to drive but whenever I wanted to go out on a typical Sunday drive along the countryside, I had to plan my budget around that.

They told me for the same set (same make and size), it would run about $2,000. Yeah, I could've gone somewhere else but could they get me the same ones? Overall it was awesome but hard to own when you have a few mouths to feed and a mortgage on top of you and in California.
Now THAT is an actual COLD-AIR intake.
beautiful truck! i wouldn't mind having a viper in a truck.
They should bring it back with the hellcat engine
billzkustomz they are
Gas guzzling thing... I almost got one but the gas mileage killed it for me.. my ram 1500 rumble bee sucked enough... I got rid of it... but it's a sweet looking ride..
Props to the dude that put real RAM Air on it.
Not a Dodge fan but this is awesome. F150 rocks. Nice mods tho.
I just finished paying of my srt10 ram it was worth every penny
Hey scotty absolutely a great choice for car of the week! Wow what a truck...I own an 2009 ram 1500 st basic white but with some simple options. Only a 4.7 v8 but nice power and with my flowmaster she sounds wonderful. I appreciate all you do
very very clean....Goods job
I loved it man bullet proof truck
Love your truck man
Crazy is it might sound I didn't even know that was trucks existing until about 6 months ago. But I'm glad that this young guy took the time to make a video on it because it is a very beautiful pizza artwork that is functional that engine is mine blowing beautiful
The sound that it makes to stock is crazy I would never get tired of that either especially when you let off and it pops off so that sounds so awesome. I enjoy the burn out the end to
Nice keep up the amazing work
I got to drive one of these in college. My buddy's dad bought one and he brought it up. Thing was fun but it broke traction like crazy. Though I won't lie, I think I liked the lightning more. Some day I need to drive the SS.

Bout the only thing i can't do is alignments. I also have a dad in law that helps me with the big stuff. Like my original trans took a dump so we pulled it into his shop and put a new used one in in about 5 hours. He's a 30 year ase certified mechanic. Transmission jobs suck though... lol
Get rid of the chrome grill and get black housing head lights it will look mean
Dodge the father, Ram the daughter🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If u cant dodge it ram it
Man that truck looks like so much fun to drive. I like everything except the spoiler.
Scotty I have a 1989 Mercedes 300 se . The issues I am having when I drive it then shut it off later when I go back to restart it it cracks but no start . I replaced fuel injectors cap and rotor and fuel pump filter and plug wires . I ever replaced the coil. Still the same thing-happens. And sometimes u can restart and it turns on can u tell me what might be wrong ...
Gas mileage isn’t everything, sometimes you just gotta enjoy life!
Beautiful truck man, very nice. Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan.
Nice truck. Right amount of cylinders, right amount of doors, right transmission. Don't like the spoiler, but if needed at 150mph, you get a pass. And , yes, it is great to haul (@$$).
I wish I can get this type of engines installed on my 2015 ram 3500 dully just for speed and fun
Pretty badass, but they should have offered a second "sleeper" model if you ask me. Imagine that setup but in a regularly dressed stock ram with no badges indicating a V10 and no extra loud exhaust. That would be badass.
They do make the four door version. Even has a tow package, and removing the badges is easy.
The extra vents would give it away.
You don't need the vents on the hood the fresh air supply can be re routed. Its done all the time.
The hood scoop is an option on RT models also, and lots of guys put them one their standard Rams as well. You could even direct swap hoods with a regular Ram.
For me, the biggest giveaways are the giant red Brembo Brake calipers....
