V2-B5 2005 Yellow Fever
The RAM SRT-10 Yellow Fever, the 2nd in the Special Editions series. Coming off the line starting in September of 2004. Yellow Fevers are painted in Solar Yellow with a Black “fanged” stripe on top of hood. These RAM SRT-10’s came with two-tone interior which featured a yellow center stack bezel, yellow door spears, yellow stitching on steering wheel, seats and yellow embroidering on the SRT-10 floor mats. These also came with a serialized Yellow Fever dash plaque numbered 1 to 500. The Yellow Fever fell short of that total production by 3. A widely known misunderstanding was that 200 would be Regular Cabs and 300 would be Quad Cabs, that was not what the final numbers would be. The Yellow Fever Production ended with 201 Regular Cabs and 296 Quad cabs.
The Viper Truck Registry Books is broken down into a series of Volumes and Books. The approach was developed to allow the individual who wants to know more about their own RAM SRT-10 (aka Viper Truck) to just purchase the book they needed without having to purchase the entire series of the Viper Truck Books.
The Production Year is the Volume and the Books contained within those volumes are the breakouts based on Color and/or Special Edition. Interesting breakouts are separate books like the first 20 Viper Trucks that were built prior to 11/10/2003. There are also books from the 2006 Production Year that were built during the 2005 production year and in some cases are extremely limited. One of those sets included Viper Trucks that were used in the filming of Walker Texas Ranger – Trial by Fire.
We will also identify the 2004 Viper Truck that set the Guinness Record for fastest Truck.
Disclaimer: The Viper Truck Registry Books are in no way affiliated with Chrysler, Dodge, Viper, RAM, SRT or any other company involved in the production of the RAM SRT-10. It is also important to know that each VIN in these books has been verified as real and are associated with a built truck. Early in the Viper Truck History unverified documents where circulated identifying the production of the Viper Truck. Through my 12 years of research, I have found several differences between those documents and what I have found. They include: 2004 Production Year projected, 3057, documented within these books, 2960. 2005 Production Year projected, 4097, documented within these books, 5113. 2006 Production Year projected, 2373, documented within these books, 1972.
This means the projected total for Viper Truck production would be 9,527, as of the writing of these books, I have found 10,045 Viper Trucks. My belief and concern is there may be other Viper Trucks that I was unable to find which makes it possible you may find a Viper Truck sometime in the future that’s not contained in these pages. If you find one, please send the VIN to viperjeff@vipertruckregistry.com.
Also, apart from Special Editions, RAM SRT-10’s were NOT numbered, the Registry did the best if could with the data available at the time of this printing to provide some sense of the build sequence.
These books are designed to help identify Viper Trucks and the equipment that came on each truck. Because the manufacturer was not involved in these books and the manufacturer never publicized the final production count, I cannot absolutely guarantee these books are complete and accurate, however, I have endeavored to create the most comprehensive accounting of Viper Trucks available. The use of this data is at your own risk.
