Engine Options Covered:
While the product name mentions '7 Diesel Truck', the Dodge Ram SRT-10 is famous for its 8.3L V10 Viper engine. The manual likely covers various gasoline and diesel engine options for the 1500, 2500, and 3500 series trucks for the 2006-2007 model years. Specific engine details would vary widely by trim.
Engine Codes Common:
Example: 5.7L HEMI (EZH), 8.3L V10 (XJ), 5.9L Cummins (ISB/ISD) or 6.7L Cummins (ISC/ISD) depending on specific model and configuration.
Typical Performance Srt10:
SRT-10: Approximately 500-510 horsepower, 525-535 lb-ft torque (for the 8.3L V10). Diesel engines would have significantly different outputs.
Fuel Delivery Diesel:
Likely common rail direct injection (CRDI) for the Cummins diesel engines (e.g., 5.9L or 6.7L in the 2500/3500 models).
Fuel Delivery Gasoline:
Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) for V8 and V10 gasoline engines.
Transmission Options:
Manual and automatic transmissions were available across the Ram line-up. The SRT-10 typically came with a 6-speed manual.
Automatic Transmission Types:
Likely included the 48RE 4-speed automatic (for V8/V10) and potentially the NV271/NV273 transfer cases for 4x4 models.
Diesel Transmission Notes:
Heavy-duty transmissions (e.g., NV4500 manual or specific automatic variants) were common for diesel models to handle higher torque loads.
Transfer Case Info:
Coverage likely includes NV271 (manual shift) and NV273 (electric shift) transfer cases for 4x4 models.
Body Styles:
Regular Cab, Extended Cab (Club Cab), Crew Cab
Bed Lengths:
Short bed (approx. 5'7"), Long bed (approx. 6'3" or 8'0")
Gross Vehicle Weight Rating:
Varies significantly by model (1500, 2500, 3500) and configuration, ranging from approximately 6,500 lbs to over 11,000 lbs.
Towing Capacity:
Varies significantly by configuration and axle ratio, ranging from approximately 7,000 lbs to over 15,000 lbs for properly equipped 3500 models.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 3,000-7,500 miles, depending on engine, driving conditions, and oil type used. Refer to the manual for precise intervals.
Engine Coolant Flush:
Typically recommended every 30,000 miles or 3 years, but check manual for specific engine type.
Transmission Fluid Change Auto:
Often recommended every 30,000-60,000 miles, depending on driving conditions and transmission type.
Brake Fluid Flush:
Generally recommended every 2-3 years to maintain optimal performance and prevent corrosion.
Engine Oil Gasoline:
Likely SAE 5W-20 or 5W-30 synthetic blend or full synthetic, meeting API SN or earlier specifications. Example: Pennzoil Platinum 5W-30.
Engine Oil Diesel:
For Cummins engines, typically SAE 15W-40 heavy-duty diesel engine oil meeting API CJ-4 or CK-4 specifications. Example: Shell Rotella T6 15W-40.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
Likely ATF+4 (MS-9602) for automatic transmissions. Example: Mopar ATF+4.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
Specific manual transmission fluid type (e.g., GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil) depending on the transmission model. Refer to manual for exact specification.
Coolant:
Chrysler OAT (Organic Additive Technology) or HOAT (Hybrid Organic Additive Technology) coolant, typically a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Example: Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 5/100 Year Formula.
Brake Fluid:
DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid, meeting Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 116.
Power Steering Fluid:
ATF+4 (MS-9602) or specific Mopar power steering fluid.
Common Gasoline Engine Issues:
Spark plug fouling (especially early 5.7L HEMI), intake manifold issues, occasional oil consumption.
Common Diesel Engine Issues:
For the 5.9L Cummins: Injector issues, fuel lift pump failures, potential for head gasket issues under heavy towing or modification. For later 6.7L, emissions system components (DPF, EGR) can be problematic if not maintained.
Common Transmission Issues:
Torque converter shudder in automatics, clutch wear in manuals under heavy use.
Common Chassis Issues:
Ball joint wear, steering stabilizer issues, potential for exhaust manifold cracks (especially on diesel).
Common Srt10 Issues:
Clutch wear from aggressive driving, occasional rear axle whine, exhaust system modifications potentially leading to leaks.
Dodge Truck Legacy:
Dodge has a long and storied history of producing robust and capable pickup trucks, with the Ram line being a cornerstone of their identity.
Third Generation Ram:
The 2006-2007 models represent the third generation of the Ram pickup, which saw significant redesigns in styling, chassis, and powertrain offerings.
Manufacturing Location:
Assembled primarily in North America (e.g., Warren Truck Assembly Plant in Michigan).
