Well I own 2005 Dodge srt-10, and when you punch it though 2nd it will not go into 3rd. Anyone else haveing problems with this?

 

Welcome to Dodge Forum!

There are a couple of fix's for your problem......from wrapping the hyd/line in some sort of heat-shield.....to changing the shifter.
I did both. There from X-Metal Eng. a gentleman called 'Boomer' sells them and a lowering/kit for our Trucks.
Your lucky you can fine 3rd with the stock shifter. With the new shifter 3rd's my best shift now!

quick question, jerry, what did your truck run?

 

Lucky to get my 13.21/seconds out of her with me driving! 2.30/60....
We're trying to do this with street tires. There a couple of guy's we hang with that have the same set-up in the low 12's.....12.44/seconds... 1.90/60
Like I said it can be done. These are all manual/trans. They put a auto/trans in Craig's Twin/Turbo Silver Bullit and pulled a 9.77/second run right out of the box!
The best the Truck would do before that with a manual/trans was 10.89/seconds.

You take that 6/speed away...you might as well take the Truck!
This big 5400# lady on the street is still at the top of the food-chain!
She don't beat them all...but nobody walks-her!

i understand about the ATX making it faster on the strip, but i agree with not swapping the 6 speed out...even if it isnt as fast on the quarter mile, i would prefer the 6 speed...what was your mph? pretty high, i would imagine?

this craig, i think that ive seen video of it..isnt he running like a 16 inch tire, and slicks?

 

4.56:1 rear/end not real high on the mph.....maybe 111/mph on the 12.4 and 115-117/mph on the 13.21
And yes Craig was running 16"/rims and NO back brakes...I think there were 14"/MT slicks.
That's close to what the Viper puts down on the pavement about 26-28"/total inches of rubber (14"/aside)

well, 115 is a Monster mph, considering i run mid 12s around 104-106...thats got to be a hell of a sight to see...does your truck sound as modified as phils? ive not heard a blown SRT10..only the turbo applications...

 

Those higher #'s were with the 4.10:1/gears the O.E.M. I haven't seen anything higher than 112/mph with the 4.56:1/gears.

I've only heard Phil's Truck over the internet wav/file. I'm running around right now with everything disconnected and a German made stainlesss/steal bonnett air/cleaner. You know when she's getting close. My wife says she can hear me coming from a couple of blocks away...but she knows what to listen for. The guy next door was sure I had a diesel until I showed him the engine/bay!
Anyway she's loud enough for me......she can turn a head......

All this against one lowly set of lousy street tires..there even snow/rated

Never miss thrid again!

Water injection system/ Computer flash/ Methonal 50/50

Trying not to give-in to the temptation of using the 'slicks'...there's a set of M/T-14's available on a 16" rim that would put me at about a 513/rear end ratio.
With about a total of 28" of rubber hitting the road..could be interesting. Don't really know what it feels like not to go 'sideways' yet!
But like I said..real/world I'm not riding aroung with 'slicks' on. Lets just say at over 60/yrs. old and I'm sill on a learning curve........
