After I got the fantastic idea to buy an abandoned 2005 Ram SRT10 truck and rip the 8.3l Dodge Viper engine out of it, I quickly realized we had a LOT of work to do to get our Demon engine up and running!
Don't worry, I've got a list (on the roof of the truck) so let's get started bringing the world's first Dodge Demon powered truck to life!

You can very easily shim that sway bar down .250 or .375 with a piece of steel and some longer bolts and it won't effect a darn thing other than adding some clearance.

I have been thinking that since he started the project guys doest even have the lift of the frame he has it on the cab so the bolts of the cab are holding all the weights crazy . I guess someone told him later in the Video he has it one the frame

[@johnbloom2059]

LEE GET THE LIFT OFF THE PINCH WELDS! On a unibody that’s perfect but on a full frame vehicle put it on the frame! I love your content and don’t want to see you get hurt! Putting the lift on the cab instead of frame puts the weight of the whole vehicle on the six to eight cab bolts!

[@seanmarchiny]

Has me so nervous watching.

[@Spoons89631]

I know right! I had to stop watching the first vid because of that. I have a feeling this is on purpose, i have only watched this series and i have the feeling this channel is a cringe channel. There is no way he cant see the body bending as it is very clear on camera and why else would he take a rare version of an extremely common truck and replace the v10 when he could have spent a lot less time and money building the v10 to make more power than the hellcat or bought a base truck and built it with the hellcat and then buy the body parts.

[@getitorgetgotten]

he really is. the amount of "ooooh no shit" and "damn thats slick" that i say outloud while watching goes up every new episode. my father and I are huge fans for life.

[@anomaliess3]

No. He ruined the truck. He should've kept the v10, rebuilt it, added turbos or a supercharger, and put MORE power into it. All he did was remove a iconic engine from that truck.

[@TheChicagOP]

The engine moves so that oil filter is going to hit. Just make some 3/4 sway bar drop brackets itl take 10min

[@JasonMcCord-qk3yb]

Yes, also, the sway bar can and will “bow” under hard cornering and will almost definitely hit the filter. Even 1/4” plates between the sway bar mounts and the frame will be enough.

[@RonColeman-sm3dl]

Same problem on all 5th gens when changing oil

[@JonnyFlame10]

Question: Why didn't you reuse the factory fuel tank and just replace the fuel pumps for the Demon ones? I think it would have saved you some time in fabrication and not having to buy and install a different fuel tank that could be prone to punctures in the event of a rear end collision

[@alanleclair1]

I came here to stay the same thing! Not to mention he would have picked up an additional 10 gallons of fuel.

[@fastbreakproductions9980]

Either 1, pumps wouldn’t fit would have to cut up an old fuel tank.. not ideal, or 2 he’s planing on weight reducing and isn’t wanting a 33 gallon tank

I love how you're making everything look like factory. But I especially love how you hooked up the gas filler,that right there is flipping awesome. But to bad you couldn't put the running lights back in the from bumper and put a piece of metal under the coolers to guide the air up across the coolers. KICK ASS BUILD, keep up the fantastic work and God Bless you guys and your families. ✌️😊👍P.S. I would love to buy that gray Hellcat off you.

[@EricErnst]

22:48. Put a spacer under the sway bar mounts and use longer bolts to mount it to the frame. From the looks of it, I'd use at least 1/4", but 1/2" or more would be better. The sway bar's rubber bushings will flex. You could get some poly bushings to minimize flex. With the torque produced by the engine, the motor mounts will also deflect. They will certainly contact, possibly ripping off the filter mount or puncturing the filter. There are 3 very small bolts securing the filter adapter to the block. Do you want to bet your whole build on the parts not contacting? It's too easy to remedy.

[@AutoAuctionUSA]

This is awesome! Love seeing the outside-the-box thinking on the fuel pump and fuel cell mounting. Especially curious about how you managed to squeeze them in there while keeping everything accessible. Can't wait to see how you tackle the mammoth coolers in the front!

[@user-lw7mw1cj5k]

A good video to show how you can install an engine and appropriate systems where they weren't intended to be installed. It is looking good. I'm waiting for part 3 already! This is a cool series.

[@BloodAlwaysFindsItsLevel]

Im picky. And a purist. However, this is absolutely the best build ever. He took the V10 out, and is literally tripling the venom. There will be an obvious sound upgrade. Handling and breaking upgrades too. I would have gone with a built 8HP70. Other than that, it's just amazing how many levels above other makes these Mopars are. There's levels to everything.

I worked for a major lift company for several years in tech support. We would get a call every now and then that a lift dropped a vehicle and killed a tech and they tried to blame the lift itself. After some investigation we found that it was user error, like this video. You’re using round adapters on the body. You should be using frame engaging adapters on the frame. Those round adapter on the frame can easily slip as well. Don’t be one of those phone calls dude
