I screwed up the miles that the original motor kicked the bucket at. It was a bit over 5000 miles. Ill get some pics when I get off work. I work offshore and my truck is sitting in the companies parking lot atm.

Got my wife to look through our images. She found a couple of the engine at least:

Both are old photo's and I have done a lot to them since these were taken. I will get some current ones when I can.

One is a red truck. The other is a silver. What color is ur truck again? And that one pic is straight from allpar.

I hate you guys

I so wish my 14 had a 6 speed...who makes a near 400hp truck...and offers NO manual for those of us who wish to play....oh well..still love it

Wife found the wrong pictures. Those are my friends 06's and the inspiration for me to get the V10 installed. Gonna chastise her when I get off the boat for making me look like a fool. Gotta find the good pictures I have. Might go back to the dealership and see if they still have the pictures they took when they did the install.

I really wanted a manual, but very few out there. There was a quad cab manual in the middle of the state, offered by a Stealer, way more than blue book plus Stealer fee. So I bought mine with auto, everything else I wanted and low miles. I figure I can always convert it to stick.
I think the fact that my Jeep is manual, is making it harder for me to sell. So many now days have no clue how to drive a manual.

Agreed that so many younger folk cannot drive a manual these days. I took my truck into a car wash, and when the college aged kid sat in it to move it, he got out right away and had to find an older guy to drive it because he couldn't drive stick. Now I get that not everyone can or wants to learn to drive a manual transmission, but these kids should not be working at a CARWASH where there WILL be stick shift vehicles!!

A link to a news story about a carjacker thwarted by a stick shift:

Couple kids here in central Florida tried to steal a high end sports car this weekend, but gave up because none of them knew how to drive stick.

My daughter learned to drive a manual at 13. And I learned at 8 in my Dad's convertible Karman Ghia. How I wish I had that car now...

I think a picture of the engine with a partial fender shot to show color, and a sign with your username on it is in order. Seems like a swap like that would be something someone would be very proud of and have lots of pics and videos of.

I agree with Tyler. People post bunch of pics when they get a new Cai, headlights, wheels etc. something smells fishy. Granted I've been working with fish since about 830 this morning.

Since this is completely off topic now from the og tread sorry op, moparman I love how your truck looks!!

Fastestbrickonearth · May 6, 2014

I just know a dealership would never put a viper setup in a truck that it wasn't designed to be in. There is a million other ways they would handle it. It's just scary when people believe there own ****

I have a 04 QC with the 5 spd trans. Never had any issue with it, other than the normal clutch replacement...

How many miles are on your truck?

Hemi5speed · May 9, 2014

These trucks sure are hard to find with a manual. Took me 3 or 4 months to find a 2500/ hemi/ manual trans combo. I brought the first and only one i could find. Too bad it was at a crappy used car lot that was nearly impossible to work with. I have no regrets now though
