Hey! One of your subscribers here. 🤔 Trading in a vehicle is not stupid whatsoever. The process allowed me to have two paid off 2016 Hellcats. I applied same principle to trading in my 2005 F150, & got a 2018 Closeout sale Ram 3500 Cummins Tradesman Crew Cab 4x4. 😮 Now I need a 2 car hauler trailer to take the Cats to Cars&Coffee.😃

Nice to see you back. Your car is my screen saver and inspiration to keep saving for mine.

[@mikebythesun]

Wow - that’s awesome! These cars are very photogenic, especially the green! Keep saving!

[@kevinm3453]

Welcome back man. I'm on my second Challenger with the manual transmission, and I've had the rear differential issue on both. Like you said, covered under warranty, good as new after work was done.

[@mikebythesun]

Thanks man. The diff issue is more common than I realized. I never even heard of it until i got this car, and since then I’ve heard it is fairly common.

[@mikebythesun]

vinniecorleone62 Thanks Vinnie! Happy New Year!

[@TheBlackScatPack]

It’s definitely been a while. A full beard and all. Good to see you back bro.

[@mikebythesun]

Thanks man! And thanks again for coming on-line the other night. I enjoyed both evenings!

[@jonluick]

Just realized you were in Burnt by the Sun. Badass. I'm going to listen to "Soundtrack..." and "Heart of Darkness" I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the quality content!

[@mikebythesun]

Thanks Jon!

[@vinniecorleone62]

I traded my 2014 Chevy in for my Blacktop Edition Challenger & got a very fair deal, low interest rate & a low payment with little down, it's all in the research, timing & who you're dealing with. Looking forward to your video on the topic.

[@ChrisBlasius]

Welcome back bro!!

[@LowLifeMods]

Both of the issues you were talking about I also have on my 15 sublime srt. I had been wondering what the squeek was at low rpm and grind around turns. Appreciate the info! Nice car 💚

[@mikebythesun]

Glad i could help!

[@apb500]

Great video brother!

[@BNG1Fdarest]

great video...I always wondered, what does the SPORT button do in RTs? The dealership just said, dont press that button....?? I notice it forces you to manual gear it but other than that, any other things happens? Thanks again!!

[@mikebythesun]

Sport mode increases the throttle response and loosens up the traction control a bit. If you have an automatic the shifts likely feel “harder” and they switch at higher RPM than normal. If you have a 2016+ R/T, the active exhaust should open up a by an additional 25% as well, which will make it a bit louder.

[@scatpack1381]

hey good to see you making video's. Can you make a video on the open exhaust flap if you notice any drone at any speeds or RPM's and how you like it?

[@mikebythesun]

Scat Pack No drone at all. it is just the active exhaust door, not nearly as dramatic as removing the midmufflers.

[@mikealv09]

Did you take your hc to get inspected pre-purchase?

[@mikebythesun]

I did not, as I felt very comfortable knowing the previous owner and knowing the car.

[@Shedrickdennis]

When is the video about trading in coming out? Could really use that info

[@solano79]

Did you take it to Jeep Capital Dodge in Garner? If not who do you recommend in Raleigh?

[@HailCheezus]

I thought you took your hellcat and drove off into the sunset. Turns out I was partially correct.

[@mikebythesun]

I honestly can’t complain. I mean, one can’t buy a used Hellcat from the first year of production and not expect a couple hiccups. If I get more, well, then I’ll have to think about what to do. Until then, things are cool and I”m enjoying the car and feel blessed to have the opportunity to do so.

[@Corvetteboy1981]

They said that what you get for buying used Helcat 🤣 That What haters yous say! Ignore them Mike!

yo man sunsets are so corny
