C ongratulations! You have purchased the
finest street supercharger available for the
1994-2001 Dodge V-10 truck. The center-
piece of the kit is the highly efficient and reli-
able PAXTON NOVI-2000 supercharger - a
mechanically driven (by belt) centrifugal blower
(supercharger).
This kit comes with all of the parts you’ll need
for a successful installation. The operations
required have been grouped in order of
sequence. Photos and drawings accompany the
text, allowing quick orientation and parts identi-
fication.
Installation requires a selection of tools which
are listed in a table at the end of this section.
We also suggest that you obtain a Dodge truck
shop manual and become familiar with the
details of your car’s systems. Manuals may be
obtained from your local Dodge dealer or you
can order one from Helm Publications at (800)
782-4356.
For best results, follow the instructions closely
and in sequence. The average installation time
for this kit is 8-10 hours. Your actual installation
time will depend on skill level and working con-
ditions. The estimate does not include time for
initial vehicle inspection, cleaning, fine tuning
or troubleshooting. Before even picking up a
wrench, read this entire manual. We are avail-
able for technical assistance at (805)
604-
1336, 7 AM-3:30 PM Pacific Time.
After reading the manual, verify that all major
assembly groups are present in the main kit box.
You should have ample space to lay out the
components. As you remove a box or bag from
the main kit, note the identification label and
compare it with the parts list. Please check the
box for small parts.
Paxton makes every effort to insure that all parts
are included in the box. However, if you discov-
er any missing or mislabeled parts, please con-
tact Paxton by phone for service.
***** WARNING *****
DO NOT attempt installation if any part(s)
are missing from this kit. Failure to contact
Paxton prior to beginning installation will
result in a charge for any missing parts.
Before starting the installation, we suggest your
engine and engine compartment be clean. You
can clean the engine and compartment with a
pressure washer (such as those used at self-serve
car washes) and a safe-for-aluminum
cleaner/degreaser. Cover the distributor with a
plastic bag to prevent water from entering.
***** CAUTION *****
We do not recommend proceeding with
the kit installation unless your vehicle is
within normal operating parameters.
You are undoubtedly enthusiastic about getting
started on your project, but take just a little more
time to insure that your safety is not jeopar-
dized. A moment’s lack of attention can result in
an accident, as can failure to observe certain
simple safety precautions. The possibility of an
accident will always exist, and the following
points should not be considered a comprehen-
sive list of all dangers. Rather, they are intended
to make you aware of the risks and to encourage
a safety conscious approach to all work you do
on your vehicle.
• Never rely solely on a jack when working
under a vehicle. Always use approved jack-
stands to support the vehicle and place them
under the recommended lift points.
• When jacking the vehicle, make sure it is on
a level surface, preferably concrete or
asphalt. The transmission should be in
Section 1.0
