Uhh no they didn’t! Have you looked at the sales of the Magnum? In 2005 they sold 50k In 2006 they sold 40k In 2007 they sold 30k In 2008 they sold 7k In 2009 they sold 113 Dodge didn’t miss any massive market. They did the right thing by not having a Magnum. I know it is hard to hear, I don’t like hearing it myself! I have always driven coupes. For just about all my adult life I drove Ford Thunderbirds. I bought the last 4 seater in 97 put 250k miles on it and then got a Honda because Ford chose to stop making it. I said they were making a mistake. But in the last 20 years they have sold fewer and fewer coupes. I had to face facts. People just don’t like coupes anymore. The Magnum was cool, but they simply weren’t a good thing for Chrysler. This build is cool and a small set of guys will love it.

This is a dope project for this guy and I wish him the best but man I'll never own another mopar lmao not at all worth the risk of getting robbed or having to worry about parking everywhere you go. My local dealership has to park jeep waggoneers on both sides of all the charger/challengers so that they don't get stolen... the mopar scene is just down bad so maybe once they're all electric a certain race of people will chill tf out or move onto another car to steal.

rotate the clock spring with your scan tool connected and see if it goes off . take the steering wheel off and just have the clock spring connected and rotate it until it say zero

[@jimmyaber5920]

Agree. Many brands have contact reel with 2+ turns of physical travel more than thensteering rack travel and a center indicator lug in reel that off one rotation from center. Some have a window that has a yellow indicator at center but some don't. Those will usually have a pin when they come out of the parts box, but that is no help later.
