MAGNETIC Drain Plugs for SRT-10 Vipers now in stock!

[Viper Specialty]

For any of you that have changed the oil in your SRT-10, you probably pulled out the plug, went to go clean it, and said "What the hell?" "Where is the freaking magnet?!?!?" Which was sure to be followed by: "Those cheap @#$%^&*#!!!"

Well, I said the same thing. Yep, thats right... no magnet on the drainplug of a car closing in on $100,000. Go figure...

There seemed to be a demand for them, so I did some research and found one that will fit. A magnetic Drainplug is a no brainer- not only does it capture ferrous metals floating around in your oil that the filter may miss, but it also gives a good indication of how your engine is running. I have 1 in stock at the moment, and 5 more coming in early next week. Price is 15.00 plus shipping for the magnetic plug and seal assembly. I am going to try to keep stock all the time starting next week, depending on the demand for them.

Please e-mail me to reserve one!

$15 for a drain plug?! What the hell?!

 

[RedGTS]

So DC ditched the magnetic plug that the Gen. 2's had when they came out with the SRT's?

 

[Viper Specialty]

99 R/T 10- I am only making a couple dollars each at 15! Dont shoot the messenger! Even the regular drain plug is like 6 or 7 bucks.

RedGTS- Yes, DC ditched the magnetic drain plug.

What about a T-56 magnetic drain plug?

 

[Viper Specialty]

RON- Definatly doable, I will order one up and see if I can match it... assuming they didnt use some goofy thread pattern.

Thanks,

Just heard back from one 2005 SRT-10 owner, apparently SOME 2005's have Magnetic plugs again. I guess Dodge came to its senses!

So, if you have an 05, check. If you have an 03 or 04, ORDER- you are definatly affected!

Thanks,

Now SHIPPED to the USA-48 for 15.00!

RON- I would have to go back the the drawing bored to make a magnetic T-56 plug. It is just a standard 1/2 NPT pipe plug!

 

[Tom F&L GoR]

The T-56 already has two large round magnets inside, about 1.5" diameter each. They are captive in the floor of the main casing. I know, good that they are there, but bad that you can't see them or remove them.

I don't understand the need for a magnetic drain plug in an aluminum engine. Can some one explain where the magnetic shavings come from?

 

[Viper Specialty]

The shavings come from piston rings, cylinder liners, connecting rods and wrist pins, oil pump rotor and cover, etc- all of which are made from ferrous metals (Iron containing metal, Steel)

Makes sense. I guess I just wasn't thinking. Thanks.
