Has anyone seen one of these things yet? I was on my way to school when I noticed a really nastly lookin' crew cab on one of those display stands. I decided I hadda pull in and check it out..sure enough. SRT-10 Crew. They are automatic trannys with the 8.3L Viper motor....nuts.

 

I like how it looks, but I think it kinda kills the "limited edition" factor behind them.

automatic? Behind a Viper engine? Thats just terrible. That is one nasty, nasty truck. I wish Chevy would start sticking the 8.1L in the SS instead of the 6.0L. Stick the 6 speed trany behind it and give it 525/525 and put chevy back in the muscle truck business.

Yea...Automatics. I think the trend for that had to do with driving a 6-speed transmission in something that large. Not sure how many people that are intrested in a crew cab would be interested in the manual transmission.

 

As for the Silverado SS. If it were up to me the Silverado SS would be the new LS7 7.4L motor and a 6-speed tranny. It would be one color. Black. 2005 454SS anyone?

Are you absolutly positive it was an SRT10. Because they can make a regular Hemi, with all the spoilers and stuff from a SRT10, strait from the factory.

I also thought that they Quad Cab SRT10 wasn't comeing out yet....

And I am 99.9% sure that they all come with the same Viper 6 speed. Because they would not put a 4 speed auto behind that motor.

You can go on Dodge's website to see the new SRT-10. I saw one at the Auto Show in LA. It's pretty cool looking. Why can't GM do something like that? It's because they're afraid it'll eat into their Corvette sales. Who wouldn't want a vehicle that has 500 hp, has a comfortable back seat (crew cab), can haul dirty stuff, and can tow? And it would probably cost less. Eventhough Corvette owners and truck owners are two completly different clientele (sp), I don't think any Vette sales would be lost. If they offered the truck as a 3/4 ton or had a weight rating over 8600 GVW it wouldn't eat into the CAFE averages.

 

Just my $0.02

Yep I was all wrong on that one. My bad.

 

But man that thing comes with 4.56 in the back. That would litterally snap your head off.

Ive always said bigger is better, or was that my girl friend that said that? :cheers:

 

Either way,......... 8.1L + 1/2ton shortbed + Super/turbocharger + 6 speed + all factory stock = happy GM customers.

The SRT10 means it has a V-10, so there is no possible way it could be a Hemi. :wtf:

I know that, what I said was that you can order a regular truck with the SRT10 bodykit, minus the SRT10 badge.

 

But rumor is that they are makeing an SRT8, which would be a super charged Hemi. And from the Dodge forums, the guys that have put on a KenBell, have reached 500hp. But I'm sure Dodge wouldn't put that much extra HP in a 1500 body.

Who would want a stick in a P/U? Just offer a console shifter with a manumatic setup like in the BMW's, Mercedes and Audi's? Maybe I'm getting old (41), but shifting all the time sucks.

500hp through a stock dodge transmission  :wtf:

 

 

 

 

The 48RE is not a stock tranny. Thats what they put behind the Cummins.

It is way better than the 46RE and the 47RE, I think thats what they were called.

The 48RE has been bullet proof, I mean it has its probs, everyone once in a while, but it has been great for the HD's

And the and the 485re, which is the 5 speed auto they put in the 1500, dakota and durango, has been one of the highest rated transmissoin since it came out in the early 2000? But the Ram didn't get it till the NBS came out in 03. And I don't remember where I read that, I belive it was Car and Driver, or maybe Consumer Reports. I just remember I was sitting in the DR. office, when I read it.

 

But Dodge did have the worse trannies in the world, if they didn't take care of them.

      My brother has an Escalade. The warranty has expired so he told his wife to go to the Valvoline quick lube he uses some times. They told her if her car was a 2020 and newer 6.2 engine they wouldn’t touch it. Hers is a 2019, so they did the oil change.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      The oil filter has NOTHING To do with oil leak. GM sources parts from 1,000's of vendors and as with anything mass produced, flaws are unavoidable.    Putting a larger oil filter will do nothing but satisfy emotions. The OEM filter is designed for the engine and perfectly capable of handling the demands on the engine. Oversize oil filter could result in reduced flow and overall lower oil pressure.

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
