Huh?? Truck transmission??? The Viper uses the Tremec T-56 tranny, same tranny used in-
* Chevrolet Corvette, 1997–2007
* Chevrolet Camaro, 1993-2002
* Ford Mustang Cobra, 2003–2004
* Ford Mustang Cobra R, 2000
* Ford Falcon XR6, XR6T, XR8
* FPV F6 Tornado/Typhoon, GT/GT-P 2004–2008
* General Motors GM F platform V8 cars, 1993–2002
* Holden Commodore 1998–2008
* Holden Monaro, 2001-2006
You are probably thinking of the engine. The only V-10 engine Chrysler had for the first design of the Viper was a truck engine... but it weighed upwards of 800 pounds. So it was redesigned with the help Lamborghini and was able to get it down to around 500lbs.

Not sure where it came from but the SRT-10 Ram RC uses the T-56. The QC uses the 48RE. So the question is, did the Ram come out with the tranny first, or did the Viper come with it first.
