Building the World's First Dodge Demon Truck

TLDRIn this video, we build a Dodge Demon truck by swapping the Viper V10 with a Demon's 6.2L V8. We modify the drive shaft, install a new shifter, and replace the power steering system. We also create custom radiator hoses and mount the battery in the bed. Finally, we remove the VVT system and install a cam to increase performance.

Key insights

🔧We successfully swap the Viper V10 engine with a Demon's 6.2L V8, creating the world's first Dodge Demon truck.

🌡️We replace the power steering system and radiator fan assembly to improve performance and cooling efficiency.

🔩We modify the drive shaft and install a new shifter to accommodate the new engine and transmission.

🔋We mount the battery in the bed of the truck to free up space in the engine bay.

🔧We remove the VVT system and install a cam to optimize engine performance and power output.

Q&A

What engine did you swap into the truck?

We swapped the original Viper V10 engine with a 6.2L V8 engine from a Dodge Demon.

Why did you modify the drive shaft?

The new engine and transmission required modifications to the drive shaft to ensure proper fitment.

Why did you mount the battery in the bed?

Mounting the battery in the bed freed up space in the engine bay and improved weight distribution.

What is the purpose of removing the VVT system and installing a cam?

Removing the VVT system and installing a cam allows us to optimize engine performance and power output.

Did you make any other modifications to the truck?

Yes, we also replaced the power steering system, radiator fan assembly, and installed a new shifter.
