What did you do to your Hellcat today?

Curb your curiosity, please.

No damage, just scuffed the tire but it was a jolting ride. Like it was on rails

 

[BULL]

Flushed a full 4 qts of DOT-4 thru the calipers on the DSRT..

Much happier master cylinder and calipers now

And new shoes too.

I had "On-site Tires" come to the house and do the tires, I did the dismount/mount.

Wow, so a truck shows up with an onboard tire machine and balancer?

Changed my wiper blades. Vacuumed the interior. Maybe wash tomorrow am.

Seriously considering the diablosport suspension controller they sell. Think that would be the next mod. 🤔

Like to get some puddle lights too. Kinda like having the stock ones, so haven't bothered. Definitely more light on the ground with the oem ones.

A little more expensive than Discount Tires for the service call, tires were actually cheaper, but MOST importantly, I get to do the wheel removal and reinstall. Then I know the lugs were done correctly, as well as treating the face of the wheels and hubs correctly, which is a long story about how I do it.

I need to look into this - thanks. I see that vendor you use is only in Denver

There are a couple, the others that I looked into were less than ideal. Make sure you're not getting economy level service.

Also, these are the same guys that came to the house WITH Michelin when I was having issues with pressure loss.

It is ready to rock….

This one also…

No, not the 'Cat, but I did order a set of tires and wheels for the GT today. Hopefully the wheels look a bit like Hyper Black in real life.

This will be the third set (including the originals) in less than a year...and about 1,300 miles. Oh well, it's cheaper than buying new cars.

What do you mean "third set of tires in 1300 miles"?

Well, it came with okay summer tires, then I got Cross Climate 2s for winter use...but we never had any winter to speak of.

While the stock wheels look decent, I much prefer the split spoke design, like on the 'Cat (which came with 5-spokes). Now it'll be the wheels pictured above, with DWS06s. Those can stay on all year.

Come early winter I'll put the Cross Climates on my girlfriend's GT, since she's more likely to end up in a surprise snow storm than I am. If we get any kind of winter, that is.

What problems were you having?

No problems, but the fluid was well past its life and was embarrassingly dark for a guy that supposedly owns a brake company.

LOL! Often I wonder if things like brake fluid will outlast me!

How many miles on it?

Whitey got the 305s today. Went to closest small town, Spruceview to get the TPMS do-dads to talk to the car….ohhhh look….a Harley guy wants to tailgate me out of town. He hugs my drivers mirror past the school going east…I KNOW he’s gonna try to romp on it and pass me once we hit the hiway speed zone. I watched him pop down a gear or two and roll on it….I lay into er….he’s a dot in my rear view in about 4 seconds. Lol.
