The Dodge Ram SRT-10 focuses
its power through a new, purpose built Hurst shifter and a
modified version of the Viper SRT-10's Tremec T56 six-speed
manual transmission. The T56 is fully synchronized with
electronic reverse lockout. A new 4.5-inch aluminum
driveshaft runs from the Viper-sourced transmission to a
Dana 60 rear axle with a 4.11 ratio to deliver the massive
torque to the road. |

One of the most noticeable
exterior features of the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is a unique hood
that features a wide power bulge and scoop sitting atop the
signature cross-hair grille. “Viper Powered” badges on
either side of the hood scoop leave no doubt as to what
resides underneath. |

Despite rocket-like straight
line acceleration, the Ram SRT-10 was also designed to carve
corners and challenge the laws of physics. The engineers at
PVO modified the rack and pinion steering system from a
Dodge Ram Heavy Duty and custom tuned the independent front
suspension. Working with the hydroformed Dodge Ram 1500
frame, one of the stiffest in the industry, PVO dropped the
Ram SRT-10 one-inch in the front and 2.5-inches in the rear.
New front and rear strut assemblies and a rear sway bar were
added to handle the increased cornering loads and virtually
eliminate body-roll. This is a truck that you can run to the
store in, and then start tackling apexes on your favorite
set of twisties. And, depending on your right foot, the V-10
can make the straightaways really short. |

To make the most of the
excellent handling characteristics of the Dodge Ram 1500,
the PVO engineers added Bilstein mono-tube shock absorbers,
a new front knuckle design and shorter and stiffer
performance tuned springs. |

Next came unique aerodynamic
aids to keep the Ram SRT-10 planted at high speeds and
22-inch custom "Viper-style" wheels fitted with 305/40 R22
Pirelli Scorpion tires for extra adhesion. The rear leaf
springs were modified and leaf spring snubbers were added
for smoother power launches. |
