It may not look like the Dodge Viper you are used to seeing, but the CAR WIZARD 🧙‍♂️ explains how this 2005 SRT-10 is a truly a Viper - at least underneath.

[@euroasianbob9268]

Thanks for your fantastic service Wizard! The issue with the trans was minor. There is a plastic shift guide in 5th gear. They get overheated when people rest their hand on the shifter while driving down the road. They make a brass replacement which eliminates future issues. Luckily you only have to remove tail shaft housing to repair. Here is the link to my video if anyone wants to hear it run! kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3LHqXZulL-GnZY

[@brian5o]

Thanks for clarifying Euroasian Bob! Before I noticed your comment, I was thinking to myself, how does someone who very obviously took this great of care of their truck damage the transmission to the point that it needed to be rebuilt in less than 30,000 miles? I thought that it might have been abused and had to have been however after hearing your explanation, it makes sense. I'm glad you're getting the issue fixed and jealous of the new owner, that is one of the most beautiful examples of one of the most special trucks that there is.

[@jdfleetguy28]

Thanks again Bob, I sure appreciate your honesty and taking care of sorting this issue out upfront. I assure you she is going to a good home.

[@thewatchersofthewood3530]

Oh this brings back memories! I bought a red 2 door from texas direct auto and flew down to get it. Drove back to NY with the wife and OMG she got terrible back pain and refused to ride in it again, had a feeling this was not going to last long..... had it a few months and averaged 8 mpg in the city, it was great though and did all the truck things with it even took off the useless wing. It had serious presence everywhere I went as it had straight pipes. Only got rid of it after an incident on the NJ turnpike. Was doing 100ish and in the left lane and not much faster than other traffic. Hit a bump and the truck wandered all the way across the highway into the right lane almost wiping out 2 cars was a full pucker experience. Had it checked out and all the ball joints, wheel bearings and everything else suspension and there was noting wrong. Alignment, wheel balance everything was good. We decided it was just bump steer due to the 100 pound wheels and who knows how much unsprung weight plus solid rear axle. Sold it the next week and on the way to the new owner the check engine and abs came on! Able to clear it by pulling the battery cable. New owner was drag racing someone and grenades the clutch weeks later. Still miss it every time I see one and still have the personalize plates on the wall told the dmv I lost them when I canceled the registration. Soooo much happier with the E46 M3 that replaced it. Still have that M3 and probably will never sell it.

[@thewatchersofthewood3530]

Also bought it on eBay with no pre inspection and when I went to get the truck they could not find it for 4 hours and when they did the gas was sooo low it almost did not make to across the street to the gas station! 🤣

Rebuilt trans at 28,000 miles is hard to believe.

[@WashburnD10]

20 some thousand miles and a transmission rebuild sounds like trouble for the future as well.

[@therockwellhour3401]

Wizard that truck is straight Fire! You can’t front on that truck and I’m not a pickup truck fan!

[@mikeschmidt4800]

There is a way to remove the exhaust without cutting it. It requires removing both the engine and transmission, but, you didn't HAVE to cut it.

KZbin channel RegularCars was giving one away this month. Someone already won it in a drawing. I was bummed out.

[@sunnyskiesblue]

Very nice. Be the only ram I would buy.

[@WaveAction777]

Any chance the previous owner abused the transmission having fun with the truck before selling it? Such low mileage with tranny issues already, always a tell tale.

[@agrippa1234]

I wonder what happened to the tranny to require a rebuild after less than 30K miles. A bargain compaired to the Viper itself.....
