My car was reflashed when FCA started the recall again, but before they said they had a reflash for the cars already Phucked up. I'll try to get back to dealer on Monday if I can.

Got mine done today. No noticeable performance or audible difference. Car drives great. Got the stupid sticker under the hood and the new cat smell.

I had an appointment for August 10th with my dealer. I backed out of it at the last minute. I'm not worried about emissions.

I'd rather replace my CATS with aftermarket ones than have the dealership touch my car or mess with PCM.

Don't forget to take your shrunken head and voodoo dolls with you to protect you from the evil spirits "Dodge Tech" and "software update"

They dont have to drop the entire exhaust... just from the collector to the mufflers. Tips shouldn't be an issue.

Bob
I had mine done which resulted in one tip sticking out 1/2” from the rear valance and the other tip 1” from the valance. Before the recall the tips sat perfectly flush with the valance. I’ll get it up on the lift this weekend to adjust it and pull the identification stickers off which will eventually burn off and leave a mess....and stink.

I Went to the dealer on Monday they reflashed her again. The car still made the noise when I got home. I sent a video to the Tech which was sent to FCA. I need to get the car back to the dealer. FCA wants the Tech to take the drive belts off and see if the car make noise and send a video to the engineer. Is anybody else's car still Phucked up from the early recall guinea pigs?

I have not noticed any issue with the car after the service work was done. I also have done a 10.x pass in it since so if something was messed up... I'm not letting them touch it again.

Just wondering when you got the second reflash? Did you wait until they had the reflash for the cars that they Phucked up already or did you jump the gun like I did and get flashed when they reopened the recall? Any info will help since mine still makes noise. If you could post and after video of your car since they fixed it on your YT channel might help me. I sent the engineers a video of mine still making the noise and they want the tech to send a one with the belts off.
Thanks TB
Edit; I guess you know you've read that already? Brain Fart.

If I brought my car to the dealer and one tip was sticking out further than the other after they worked it, I would lose my mind. Nope, NOT GOING!!!!! Car runs fine, not "fixing" it.

If you don't have W56 applied to your vehicle then you do not have the fix. I suggest investigating if you have that recall done. Based on the comments you made your timing was too early to have the fix applied.

What's W56? So you waited until they had a fix for the phucked up cars? What date did you bring your car back in for the reflash I took mine in on 7/9 Then I was on vacation for 2 weeks.
