I know it's a dodge, but it's a 2003 with a V10 and a 5 speed. They made like 520 total V10s that year while being the final year (2003 was first year for third gen ram HD trucks). Totally trippy to find one! They labeled it as a 2011 for whatever reason but I can make out the V10 badge on the fender. https://yubasutter.craigslist.org/cto/d/2011-dodge-ramx4/6342113157.html

That would be badass. Never seen a 3rd gen with a v10 let alone one with a manual trans.

We're the v10s good motors?

I've never driven a second gen V10, but from what I've been told they will pull anything but eat up gas worse than a big block. The V10s used coils too, so no distributor. For the first couple of years (94-early 98) Dodge labeled the V10 with more horsepower/torque over the 12v Cummins. 310HP @ 4100rpm / 450TQ @ 2400rpm and my Hemi is 345HP/375TQ

I agree. I'd so own that truck! I think the V10 just got bad timing with the third gen since everyone was balls deep for the new Hemi.

Production numbers I found:

I called DC about two weeks ago & talked to a lady that inturn, called Detroit to find the # of 2003, 2500 V10's produced & she called me back the other day with the breakdown by body style & a total of 615 produced:
Reg Cab SB 4x2 10
Reg Cab LB 4x2 25
Reg Cab SB 4x4 28
Reg Cab LB 4x4 65
Quad Cab ST SB 4x2 05
Quad Cab SLT SB 4x2 108
Quad Cab ST LB 4x2 11
Quad Cab SLT LB 4x2 103
Quad Cab ST SB 4x4 27
Quad Cab SLT SB 4x4 94
