    Aftermarket parts - what works and what is a waste of cash?

    Thanks for the update, DGatzby. Glad the new drivetrain components are feeling strong!

    Stock Brembo Pads For Track Use

    TrackDay, This is intended as a compliment...when I read how you, and DGatzby too, go through your brake pads on road courses and think how after my 5 HPDE track days this year my just pulled off and inspected new this year Hawk DTC-60's look, well, damn, hardly worn, I think either you guys...

    Stock Brembo Pads For Track Use

    Interesting thread. I called Hawk's tech rep recently to ask why the black paint was peeling so much on my DTC-60's (all four pads, especially bad on the front). He, like others here, have said it is normal, although I think I got pads with perhaps more paint on the back side than normal. I...

    Road Course Videos

    Nice driving! How do you like the look of the 315/30 tires at all four corners? Are they on stock size rims?

    AAD Performance Adjustable Suspension Parts Overview - 03/13/2021 - Free PDF

    Hmmm, that's odd. I just tested the email address in my initial post twice and it is working. Try it again, and if you get another mail failure notice we can try something else. [email protected]

    Why are my tpms measuring this way?

    Never having seen inside my stock wheel/tires, is there one OEM brand? What is it?

    Why are my tpms measuring this way?

    Have to put off troubleshooting my rear right TPMS for a couple of days. Hopefully by Wednesday I'll get to driving on the deflated/reinflated tire to see if it resets itself. The TPMS sensors provided to me by Biz at Triumpforged.com are ITM brand. ITM is a major brand, and I think a quality...

    Why are my tpms measuring this way?

    Just saw Just saw on another challenger forum some posts that recommende inflating the tire to 35 psi and driving it to reset the system. Okay, off to try it.

    Why are my tpms measuring this way?

    My rear right wheel, after I got the car out of the garage two weeks after driving it home from an HPDE one day event, now shows 21 psi. The actual pressure is 33 psi. Drove it like this for two half hour drives on the same day. The alarm triggered the satellite system the dealerships use to...

    Dodge Challengers, Chargers to Get New / Retrofitted Theft Protection

    Reads like two of the three anti-theft innovations will apply to pre-2022 models, and the "Anti-Intrusion" glass breakage module to 2022 models. Also reads like they will charge pre-2022 model year owners to reflash the first two innovations. In any case, welcome upgrades. Might save...

    Your handle/name meaning and why?

    We had a pilot with the last name of Bates in the A-7E community of the 1980's. "Master" was his call sign until the Admiral heard about it. Something about not reflecting well on the Navy should that pilot ever make high rank and be on TV.

    Your handle/name meaning and why?

    Back in my Navy days nicknames/radio callsigns were usually bestowed by the pilots in your first fleet squadron. Unless you already had a fitting one. One morning soon after I'd reported to the squadron our Intelligence Officer, who was very short and therefore christened "Inch High Spy"...

    Dealership Not Taking Appointments - lack of workers says service manager

    I asked so I'll reply. Those experiences sound pretty terrible and I appreciate your being so candid. Your level of frustration with your union leaderships is off the charts. I stand by my assertion that if the cooperative bargaining movement had never happened in America hourly laborers...

    Replacing Brake Fluid

    Okay, got it. Has to have suction or pressure to drain the fluid. Thanks.

    Replacing Brake Fluid

    I'm confused too. I haven't seen it work. I was assuming the compressed air would be blowing across a "place" - maybe a bottle opening - and if it had moisture in it from being compressed that might contaminate the new fluid. I shouldn't have added that part to my post - should have tried to...

    Replacing Brake Fluid

    Interesting information in this thread. Good article that Bull linked to, and the MOPAR article was good. Thanks. Saw a YouTube video for a non-Challenger car that used the Motive Products Power Bleeder. That kit (I see there are several for different cars) would be $80-$100. Plus the...

    Aftermarket parts - what works and what is a waste of cash?

    Reading your post I had a first thought of, "Why doesn't Dodge enable the chiller system to work in other than Track Mode?" Followed by, "Probably because cooler SC and engine temperatures don't optimize combustion, or oil temperatures (or...something) when we don't have the right foot into...

    Dealership Not Taking Appointments - lack of workers says service manager

    This is an interesting subject, especially after this past summer of confrontation. This article is pretty good and fills in my understanding about police union history. In a nutshell, police membership organizations and some police unions - it's very fragmented and localized...

    Dealership Not Taking Appointments - lack of workers says service manager

    That's a good outcome. Somebody else mentioned their dealership had a stable crew of experienced mechanics. That speaks well for how the dealership treats employees. I agree many young people think everything can be done on a computer. Some amazing things sure can - like learning from forums...
