RE: 2nd gen dodge ram viper
The only other truck that i know of that dodge made with a viper engine was in 1996 for the Chicago Auto Show. It was just a concept truck though and wasnt put into production. That truck was called the dodge ram VTS. Thats the most i know though.

RE: 2nd gen dodge ram viper
The Dodge Ram SRT-10 was introduced at the January 2002 North American International Auto Show, but was not put into production until 2004. Unlike the previous Ram Trucks, the SRT-10 was built solely for the purpose of speed.
The Dodge Ram SRT was created by DaimlerChrysler's PVO (Performance Vehicle Operations) division, using Dodge Viper and Chrysler Prowler engineers. Extensive wind tunnel testing was used in styling the exterior of the Ram SRT. This is the second time that Dodge has put a Viper engine into a Ram pickup. At the 1996 Chicago Auto Show, Dodge introduced a concept Dodge Ram with a Viper Generation 2 engine, but it was not put into production. The Dodge Ram VTS was painted Banzai Blue with dual white skunk stripes, housed a 488 cid. V10, a six-speed Borg-Warner manual gearbox, and 17 inch Viper GTS wheels wrapped in BF Goodrich 275/60-HR17 Comp T/A HR4 tires. Revell made a 1/25th plastic scale model of the Dodge Ram VTS.

This engine produces 500 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 525ft·lbf (712N·m) of torque at 4,200 rpm. The regular cab, with a total wet weight of 5100 lb, making the truck reach a top speed of 155mph (249km/h), and can accelerate the regular cab SRT-10 from 0 to 60 in 4.8 seconds and the Quad Cab version in 4.9 seconds
