    Secret to DR Tire Mounting - No Slip without Beadlocks

    I had a fair amount of wheel to tire slippage on my Jeep, not completely surprising when running between 1 and 5 psi for the most part. After getting tired of rebalancing the rears I took a sander and made a notch in a ridge on the sidewall by the valve stem, just like you did with a marker...

    Is this true? 2026 Durango RT/392 and Hellcat not available in many states?

    Doesn't matter what state you live in at this point. The order books for the 392 and Hellcat aren't open yet.

    Is this true? 2026 Durango RT/392 and Hellcat not available in many states?

    It won't apply to me since I ordered a 5.7, but I doubt there would be any issues registering a 392 or 'Cat from out of state here. Now, trying to do it in CA would be an entirely different story. It could probably be done, but be about as much hardship as living there.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Yep, that is one gorgeous car.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Those look much like what came on my '18, except in a dark gray color. Promptly replaced them with less gloomy OE wheels, as seen in my profile photo. And yes, full disclosure, I really don't care for black wheels. I've changed them out, painted them, or had them powder coated, on everything...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Those rear wheels look nice. Maybe the fronts also do, but since they're black it's hard to tell what they look like.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    New filter arrived, and now the lid did actually seat correctly over it. Surprisingly quick shipping from Steve White, by the way. And a test drive will happen when/if the roads dry up next week.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I wish. Her reasoning for getting the Crew Cat was that it's harder to load stuff in the back seat of the Challenger when she goes shopping. Besides, welding on the body would add even more heat to a shape that already looks like it's halfway melted.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    She decided that she "needed" one maybe eight months ago. That was a bit late for having a good selection of Granite ones with the dually fenders. Found one in California that didn't have black wheels or a hole in the roof. Perfect...except they wanted a $10K ADM. Ended up getting one from...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I think that's what Unholy did, since he needs constant access.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    You're very welcome to come over and do it. If you think you can survive the lower temps and humidity.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Strange indeed, but it could've been a lot worse. Yes, it would've been easier had my 3500 not been blocked in by my new and not operational tow vehicle, and had the trailer with the winch not had about five yards of gravel in front of it. Had no choice but to take her 3500, which has nothing...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I can't take credit for doing it. Most of the bag was balled up at the throttle blade, and with some luck I got at least 95% of it out. After clearing the codes the dash is free of warning lights and it seems to run like it should. Of course I only drove it off the trailer and to its parking...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Have you considered just leaving the hood open? It works well on our Challengers, and should help the gas struts live a little longer. As an added bonus, it's hard to forget that the hood's open.
  15. Jimmy N.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Yeah, the bag must have first spread itself over most of the filter area, then found/made a temporary gap to make it past the filter. She did say she'd just passed a car, which means she floored it. Or at least close to it.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    No, that's on her Crew Cat. They have a maybe 3.5" tube coming from the far left part of the grille, and another path from below. Forgot to look at where that one originates. Must be a rare thing to have happen no matter what.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    If you get a P2111 and a P2811, something like this could be the reason. It put the engine in beyond limp mode, practically eliminated the brakes, and everything on the dash that could supposedly lit up. Was lucky that it ran well enough to barely make it up on the trailer, and that she was a...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Ordered a new air filter. Not because the original was dirty, but it was nowhere near flat enough anymore.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Have you considered buying or renting a chainsaw? Although I'd probably rent a bulldozer instead. Chainsaws are noisy and dangerous.

    Out of Warranty oil change intervals

    For me the only remotely logical 6-month change would be to drain the fresh oil out of the engines in the spring, after hibernation, then put it in the other engine. No that doesn't make any sense, and that's why I don't do it. Or dump the fresh oil in the spring only because it has spent some...
