    Will Driving in ECO Mode Harm the HC???

    I seriously doubt it could be harmful for the car. If the driver voluntarily selected Eco mode, that's a different story. He may already be beyond help and should be escorted into a Camry.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    It was great fun. Did it almost on a whim after getting an email offering 25% off. Of course, I knew I wanted to go back at some point - while they still have Challengers. No way would I enjoy it nearly as much if driving some oversized converted EV. They hadn't tracked one yet so I don't know...

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I left mine in the garage and subjected another one to things I would not want to do with mine.

    Why store with a full tank of fuel?

    It's kinda hard to burn water. And engines don't run on it. Okay, steam engines do, but our 'Cats don't like water any more than regular cats do..

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I'll be driving a Challenger with lots of stickers on it on Monday and Tuesday.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I knew you couldn't be all bad.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    Cold starts in Florida is what the myth is. Kinda hard to have an actual cold start where it's never cold.

    Supercharger screws backing out.

    I've been checking those bolts as part of the initial new vehicle check (fluid levels, fastener tightness, etc.) since '20 or so. Haven't found any truly loose ones yet, but knew that it's not unheard of. Low fluid levels (except on Durangos) is pretty much standard, and unevenly torqued lug...

    Battery: parasitic drain

    Kubota batteries are supposedly very good. My early '10 M6040 is still on its original battery. It does have a permanent Canadus desulfation unit attached, but the '13 L3800 has never had anything special done with the battery and is also on its OE battery.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    I've used BateryMINDers for decades now and have no complaints whatsoever. But most any name brand maintainer with desulfation should work well.

    Spotted this Hellcat last night

    I dunno, Hunter. Bet you there's three.

    Spotted this Hellcat last night

    Alright, I'm confused. Is there really such a thing as liberal use of Trump stickers?

    Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

    When a horn honks in the forest, does it make a sound?

    Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

    It's on its third set of tires. Not because any wore out, but the good ones aged out and the OE Nexens started coming apart (internally) somewhat quickly.

    Windshield wiper blades (suckage)

    Are my OE blades from '18 still good? No idea, just like I don't know if the horn, cruise control, nav, and a few other things on the car works or not. Come to think of it, my '17 Ram 3500 also has its original blades, and it has been driven in rain and snow quite a bit.

    What is your favorite tire brand?

    I wouldn't say that they're a hot climate only tire, having enjoyed Indy 500s for years here in the hills. That's with an average of 75 in the hottest months and the lows are only above freezing for five months, which means that I generally start my drives at 30-40 degrees.

    Rear Diff and Transmission oil change

    No way I could drink any since there's normally not enough in the diffs for any to come out when removing the level plugs. Guess I could have a gulp or two when draining the OE fluid at 500 to 1,000 miles, but I'd rather drink the clean Amsoil. It should go down easier.

    Rear Diff and Transmission oil change

    Most motorcycles don't have differentials.

    Rear Diff and Transmission oil change

    There's usually not enough of it is my main complaint. Either way, Amsoil is better. Have solved a couple of problematic diffs using it.

    What did you do to your Hellcat today?

    They have lots of plates to choose from here, and I picked the "Support Our Troops" version. They're $17 (a one time cost) and for a good cause I think. But I have to admit that the really real reason I went with them is that they're practically impossible to read from any kind of distance...
