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 in the way of tools, extinguisher, etc. in it, and the little 18' trailer.

A really good thing was that had it happened another couple of hundred feet down the road, there's no cell service for about eight miles. Then she couldn't even have called AAA, had the rollback damage the splitter and whatever they'd tie the car down with, dump it at the dealer some 110 miles away - where they would've diagnosed and fixed the issue for only several hundred dollars. Took me five minutes, and the cost of a new filter. View attachment 171733

By the way, before I had unearthed the problem I had my girlfriend halfway talked into ordering a Durango Hellcat.
Oh!

My buddy just bought a 2025 Durango Hellcat. Black!

He just got it, Thursday.

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 spot since the filter isn't quite what it used to be. Can't close the lid over it.
I’d be pulling the throttle body and the lid to see if there’s melted plastic in the intercooler bricks

You're very welcome to come over and do it.

If you think you can survive the lower temps and humidity.

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.
I should just take the hood off! ;)

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