Can't trust my extended dealer, but can trust my closest dealer ship. Snot the dealer we had in the 70s. Different, still a rip off either way, except how I financed my life styles thru 3 years of hell, again. The partying, lifestyle, money, money, cash money.
I have a dealer in July whom has my back with a Viper, Red Eye, and Hell Cat I can trust. Sun Coast Chrysler in Seminole, Fl. Mechanic named Dave and his apprentice. I waz smart I would have gone in that direction for a 2nd 3rd 4th retirement. Hinze site is 20 60.

Got the car up today just to re-torque all the AAD pieces I added a little while back and to check the torque values the kid who did the alignment last week. Some were too tight, some too loose. But he was close as he never used a torque wrench. All squared away now and everything marked, as well as the DIRS and Race Brace. Never had a chance to get to the dealer today as I want to do an R&R on the original brake fluid. Car only has 6.2k, but it’s a ‘15. I wonder if the parts dept. is open on Sundays? That’s it for now.
PS. My wife wants to know why I’m constantly messing with a new car? She just doesn’t get it.

What are you looking just to get OEM Mopar brake fluid? Doubt any Mopar parts depts are open on Sunday around here. Adverse to other non-mopar brands? Just flushed all mine with Motul RBC 600 (my go to choice) Whatever you choose, it’s most likely cheaper to order online.

@thetalonguy I just checked the website, closed Sunday. Guess I’m sol, but now I’ve got a week to order off of the www. The reason for going oem is I don’t track the car and don’t really feel the need for a hi-po fluid. I don’t mind spending more money but I don’t see the need to screw with purging all the DOT3 for DOT4 or 5.1.

I have not seen anything to make me bolt anything else up. For now it stays dressed in black. I’ll bring the set of Cup 2’s, but the street tires will do better unless the sun comes out. Temps in the 60’s and clouds don’t get me very excited. It WILL run well, I bet the DA will be great. It is trailer ready. Going to break
-in/bed-in the new pads over the next week.

I just got one for the Charger. Maybe I can pull it with the 4 wheeler?
Seems reasonable. Are you being funny? Can’t see you with your mask on! :p:p
You do mean just around the strip/track, right?

Yes and maybe add a winch to the trailer so loading can be a 1 man operation.

I haven't done anything to or with my 'Cat. Roads have been dry for many weeks, I'm starting to feel guilty.

After driving for about 200 miles now around town (don't know how it accumulated so many) and optimizing the fuel, this is like a drug fix after seven months, @Jimmy N. ! My seat of the pants tells me this new fuel mixture has made some fundamental differences. I'll let everyone know by about noon on the 14th, just how good my ass calibration meter is or not. That is when I will have some actual road test data from a closed course where we have many, times and speeds to compare to. But, bottom line, if this car has no problems on the 14th-15th, it may never leave me until I can't drive it any longer. Damn these are smooth and fun to drive on the street.

Ha, just by reflex yesterday afternoon, not thinking about anything; I accidently stabbed the Hellcat about like I would do the Tahoe from light. WRONG!

Talked with my buddy who purchased my factory freak 2015 today. He smoked a REWB taxi. He really punished him btw 120-170 with two other people in the car. Very rural NM road. That car with the suspension upgrades and the very unique and nearly one of a kind prototype QA1 2.5” CF DS, is one quick HC. The dude must have had some bad gas in the RE. No, he will never sell, he reiterated this morning. Shit I was in it when it really smoked a certain vette with four guys in it in OK a couple of years ago. Sorry, we know the vette owner and promised to never show the video. He was not too happy with himself or his vehicle after that little skirmish. Ha! Because he sold a HC for a vette.
