The V10 definitely offers more wow factor and it has been a staple component of the Viper since Day 1, but are those reasons enough to reject a Viper with a Hellcat Redeye engine and nearly 800 stock horsepower? Tell us what you think in the comments below.
The V10 and Cummins were only available in the Ram 2500/3500 because their heavy-duty chassis dynamics were better suited to the higher torque output of these engines. A 21-year old Ram 1500 chassis must be in fairly healthy condition to safely handle the V10 torque that it wasn't particularly designed for: (emphasis on 'safely').
The 8.0L V10 was from the same engine family as the 3.9L, 5.2L & 5.9L. AFAIK all the bell-housings are the same. I am unsure about the flexplate & Magnum fitments. It seems like overkill & I have no idea where you would find one. It would be harder to find than a 44RH/46RH. Is what you have now rebuildable?
There were no high-performance debuts from the former Chrysler at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, but Henrik Fisker and his new company VLF unveiled a new carbon-fiber supercar built around the chassis and drivetrain of the Dodge Viper. The VLF Force 1 V10 is, in essence, a 745 horsepower rebodied...
The Dodge 47RH and 47RE heavy-duty automatic transmissions The 47RH four-speed Torqueflite® transmission was used on Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups with the 8.0-liter V-10 or 5.9-liter Cummins Turbo-Diesel engines. It had a torque capacity of 450 lb-ft and trailer towing capacity of up to 19,000...
The 1995 V10 was OBD1. Is the 'ck eng' light on? Any fault codes? Being a heavy-duty truck engine, not much was offered in the way of scan tool diagnostics. If you follow the diagnostic procedures, it takes the guesswork out of what's wrong. Guessing can get frustrating & expensive. Low intake manifold vacuum measured by the MAP will enrich the mixture, but you want to find out why the truck ...
The V10 is an esoteric engine and not many aftermarket parts were available then or exist today. Keep looking for Mopar 56041041 (CKP) and Mopar 53006563 (CMP).
Can anyone help me out. I have a 96 ram 2500 v10 automatic 4x4 . Parked it out in the barn ran fine came about a month later ground ate the wires on it ...
