    Damper problem

    Thanks for the info. This was the second damper. The crank at the end was nearly 1/16 smaller than the base. When I get the engine back from Dodge should I have the dealer pull the damper and Locktite it or will Dodge do that now? Its still under factory warrenty so I don't want to modify anything.

    Harmonic Balancer Crack 04 Viper 500 miles

    I have had two plastic pulleys fail in the last 3 months. 96 GTS lost the power steering pulley at 8,900 miles. The 2004 Ram SRT-10 VCA addition lost the crank pulley at 4,500 mils. The truck is a real bear when the pulley fails. I think Dodge should replace all plastic pulleys with metal like...

    Loud Cracking Noise?

    Could be one of the plastic pulleys failing. I had one go on my 96 GTS power steering pump and had the crank pulley let go on my 04 Ram SRT-10. They make a funny noise when they start to let go. Mine started as a snapping sound and quickly went to sort of a squeaky rattle.

    Pulley Failure on Crank

    Well I have 4976 mile on my VCA Ram SRT-10 and what a supprise I had on the way home from work. While rounding a corner the belt pully on the crank failed and I lost all accessories.

    Power Steering pully fell off

    Well there isn't any bolt. Its a plastic pulley and it failed at the hub. I think the gen 3 engines have a metal one. there wan no indication that anything was wrong until it just quit!!! Very bad failure mode. No noise or other indication.

    Who owns a Viper and SRT-10 Ram?

    I have three Vipers and a Ram SRT-10 VCA Edition #33 and find it to be a great drive. The Vipers are truly in a league of their own but so is the Ram in its own respect. I find it meet my needs as a daily driver offering some flexability to carry things as needed with great performance. The...
