Update on my SRT 10 Ram

I've been low key about my SRT 10 since Dodge had it in dealer prison for trans problems, but since getting it back in Feb I've slowly been working on it, with the goal of going to an SRT show in Ohio at the end of this month. She should be back on the road by Memorial day, lower, louder, faster, and cool visually under the hood. Looking to make an appearance at the Dukes Park meet in CENTRAL NJ in July.

if it is a t56 then tremec is having parts problems, that might explain the wait.

Yes. I am feeling that pain right now. The problem is they are not making new parts. Not that they can't, likely that they don't want to.

Yes but for hard parts, you want to go oem. Aftermarket stuff is cheaper and quality is questionable. None of the places I've spoken with are comfortable using new aftermarket for a performance rebuild.

T56 is such a poular transmission, is it a total lack of aftermarket or are the aftermarket parts just price restrictive? Seems like someone in the aftermarket would step up to the plate.

Aftermarket parts are available, not for all items, and prices are generally cheaper. The consensus I have gathered is the aftermarket parts are not well made. Maybe they would be fine, maybe not.

Everything said above is true about lack of parts support. I waited 4 months. If this trans goes I'm going automatic!!!

I got a t56 under the workbench w/some work done to it but syncro's are bad (supposedly). One of those 'projects' that is more of a paperweight at this point.

Dodge didn't use the tr6060 until late 2007/08 but could be a good alternative if you want to keep it manual and have future issues w/the t56.

Yeah buddy, I'd like to keep it a stick. It's fun rowing the gears in the behemoth.
