    173K Still running like new

    Naa, leave it alone and try to push through the 200k mark! If you want to dig in a bit, for fun, run a compression and leakdown test to see how well it's "worn" over time.

    Hoosier DR2 P325/45R18 drag radials

    I'm thinking about giving these a try this year, they seem to be quite popular in the Hellcat/Demon world. 30.2'' tall, so a tad shorter than our 31.5'' OEM tires- but I don't think it'll require a 5th shift at my power level (109mph trap speed with 4.56 gears, manual trans). The issue I'm...

    Mobile One European Car Formula W0-40 oil

    Officially, Mobil 1 has not undergone certification to meet FCA specs (starting with the SN revision, I believe). This does not mean that Mobil 1 will harm your engine, it means that Exxon has not spent the time and money to have their products tested/certified for FCA specs. Chrysler switched...

    Possible PCV issue?

    It does sound like it could be excessive crankcase pressure. First inspect that the hoses from both valve covers are routed correctly (not kinked or plugged). If that checks out, next I would say you need to pull the valve covers and look for a plugged/damaged baffle. One of the valve covers...

    BBK throttle body hanging at high idle.

    I had the same issue with the BBK on my truck. The throttle arm would not close completely when the engine bay was hot (stop go traffic in the summer). Tapping the accelerator would "snap" it back closed. I contacted BBK, emailed pictures, and then sent in the throttle body for them to...

    Went drag racing

    Having driven a few vehicles up in the mountains of Colorado, I know first hand how altitude neuters performance (both internal combustion engines and myself). Ha! Do the turbocharged vehicles run near sea level times at your track?

    Went drag racing

    Aside of a grainy video from the last half of the track (during the 13.01 run) no pics from the track. Ya gotta bring more "atmosphere" to those high altitudes. I've read a 20lb bottle of pressurized goodness really helps. ;) Lapeer is at 837 feet. I found a website that has previous...

    Went drag racing

    I took my '05 RC out earlier this evening for a test n tune 1/4 mile. I made 9 passes, 3 at a time with maybe a 40 min cool down in between. Air temp was 80-75 deg and humid, I forgot to snapshot the weather.....it was muggy! I should've brought some fans and/or a cooler of ice to aid in...

    Long time lurker, first post.

    After almost three years of ownership and similar amount of time lurking around here, its time to post! My name is Chuck and I have a 2005 regular cab with 28,500 miles. When these trucks came out, I wanted one real bad...but couldn't afford it at the time. I was working at a Chrysler/Jeep...
