FINALLY!!! As a fellow '16 Charger Hellcat owner, it's great to finally see one on your channel. If you're diggin the info pages on the binnacle, then you need to dive into the SRT pages on the dash Uconnect screen. FYI - you have an 18 gallon tank. The fuel mileage on the display is based upon the last tank base line. When you drive it, it will reset. ECO is worthless - you will get just as good in STREET or SPORT mode. You sb getting around 24-26mpg on the highway. I've gotten as high as 29mpg on the back roads of Texas in 110f heat, but it was painful to drive that way, lol! Your exhaust is limited to 99db when you're parked/reving it. It won't open up unless you're under load driving. It has active exhaust. PCM will automatically adjust the engine for lower fuel grades, so no big deal. Anyway, enjoy the car & can't wait to see what you do to it.

[@drinkmorecocacola]

what a legit infodump on a specfiic model. keep researching buddy

[@daniellivesey6749]

I have a 21 Durango SRT (non hellcat) and the one thing I wish they did to the Challenger/Charger in later years was update uconnect in those cars to the 21+ head unit. The 2015 version they have is super slow to load and it would be awesome if they had a next gen version that you could swap in, but I'm sure the Durango version won't work/fit.

[@outpostprime]

Yes! So cool to finally see a big Mopar on the channel! From a 392 Scat Pack owner, welcome to the family! That Hellcat does look and sound stock to me. The OEM exhaust is not much different from a stock Scat Pack, so as you said, not much incentive to modify the exhaust at all. Sounds great as is! A couple of tips if I may: *Swap the belts for the green belts asap. The OEM ones aren't bad per se, but the green ones are a big improvement all the same *Check the SRT performance pages in the infotainment screen. you'll be able to see recorded lap times, trap times, max G-forces, etc. Gives a bit of an indication of how much the car was beat on *Definitely check/change the diff fluid, see if you can inspect it for excess wear *I'd highly recommend an oil catch can for later installation. Helps keep oil vapor from getting sucked back into the intake

Having to check 18 tires during a pretrip inspection, we truckers use a small bat or rubber mallet to "thump" the tires. If the tire makes a dull thud, the pressure then gets checked. If it bounces off the tire, the thumper worked and it can be stored by the drivers door for future use, right next to the flashlight and pressure gauge.

@pricetagcitrus the black belts suck. Flat out. They wear out very quickly and they are prone to slippage from stretching (due to heat) or premature wear. The green belts are better overall and rated for higher HP use and see way less issues as far as slippage or stretching. If and where possible, as I've done with mine every single belt on my charger was swapped over from the black to green.

Actually, grey is very forgiving. I have had a few grey vehicles over the years and you cannot even tell they are mild to heavily dirty until you are right up on top of them.

Great episode - interesting with great chemistry. The inclusion of the Officer and his K9 partner was excellent. PD gets so much hate these days, it's great to see personable and professional officers on the community reach out. Hope you gave him some merch! :)

[@azaeltyper]

Hey! The car fax shows it to be near me here in Humble Tx!!! Alex in Houston a lot of people get scammed buying cars like this. They think it’s legit, but turns out stolen. Maybe that’s why they maintained it. Bad problem here in the south.

[@ianrobson9601]

I don't know xhit about cars, definitely no motor enthusiast yet I absolutely LOVE this channel. Thank you

[@mrmomo313]

Highly recommend you use the SRT oil filter! Flows better than the standard ones and is what's recommended for the hellcats

Wyo Tech Alumni here, class of 86, it’s way different now, it used to be north of town and they moved to west Laramie a while back, back then we used to work on those old school Allen diagnostic machines.

Jason’s energy for sure helps the channel he seems to always be smiling ear to ear just happy to be there

[@BravoMotoOfficial]

Such an awesome channel. This is the first video IU came across and watched it end to end. A very good friend of mine went to WT and taught me a lot. New sub btw.

[@AivaMan]

One of the best videos I've seen so far. A really nice change of things for the channel. Cooperation with police, all the search and everything was super interesting. Thank you so much, Alex! I just love when you go places and then attempt to drive back with an unknown car.

[@dmwi1549]

Someone else said it best. There are two kinds of Hell Cats. Stolen and Repossessed. Living in your car to afford payments would be sad.

[@theglitch99]

[@mitchfleming274]

[@autogeneratedfilth]

@@mitchfleming274 There's also a theoretical subspecies of totaled\ rebuilt but they crossbreed with the stolen and repoed so it's not really official yet

[@TheAngryTT]

given the upkeep, I wonder if the vehicle was really stolen or just reported stolen.

[@Jimjef]

One more type: Stolen.

[@Stoneman1971]

Here's a possibility for the tire thumper. I worked at a concrete company and the guy that drove the gravel train, semi with two trailers, would check his tires in the morning with a pipe by hitting them. It would give you an idea if a tire was low or not, or flat. Don't know if that's what it's for, but I guess it's possible.

[@davidmiller6726]

Alex, I really enjoyed this episode/Road trip with your Bud! Great deal on this Hellcat! Looking forward to following along on more!

[@zander951]

Don’t waist your time with those Fanttik air pumps. I bought one after seeing it used in another LSC video and it developed a charging issue after a few uses. I’ve been dealing with Fanttik for about 3 months going back and forth for something that is still under warranty. Sent them all requested documentation and the issue is still not resolved. Their customer service is terrible.

[@Jsmith9619]

Yeah these guys will push anything for a buck it seems. I've heard a lot of bad things about their products as well and decided not to order one. Looked like a decent product and trust Alex but it doesn't seem to be

[@Thanos.m]

The only product I've ever purchased that was being promoted in KZbin was the Clyde's leather colouring balm and it was terrible it didn't really work the colour match was terrible and after some back forth with their customer service they basically came back and said sorry not sorry so after that I thought I'm never buying any promoted product ever again

[@blevins6584mopar]

I would name it stealcat . I have a 2015 Hellcat inner cooler pump connection is underneath the air box . Water intrudes in the plug and intercooler. ... At first the pump runs continuously and then it gives out. Mine is doing that currently. I THANK YOU GOT A GREAT BUY 👍

[@waynetanner1749]

2 hours after posting this Hellcat video Likes were at 6.9k Great job. Tire thumper bat is for semi tractors drivers to thump their tires as a quick tire pressure check. You can tell approximately the correct tire pressure by comparing the sound or pitch when you hit a tire. Also for deterring potential truck jackers 😅

[@AUSTRALIAN-GUY]

❤ That random switch on dash & loose wire near grill Was probably to switch on off Fan 👍✅ AUSTRALIAN-GUY 🇦🇺

Jason is such a vibe. I definitely want to see more of him on the chanel.

[@connerkurt2842]

With all the terrible stuff in the world right now and questionable social media .. I’m glad we made you famous .. also fyi- bad intercooler pump with high temps could be triggering the fans to run

[@hoolihanohoolihan1011]

Ya, congrats on making him famous. You did that.

[@bryanyokofich5021]

HE FINALLY GOT A MOPAR! Thanks Alex this is so cool! My persistent asking paid off 😂

[@WW-wf8tu]

71K is about the miles I bought my 2016 Dodge Charger R/T 392 Scat Pack. And the exhaust tips match my car as well. In case you read this, there is NO jack for these. As you should have seen in the trunk, just an inflator kit. So low to the ground, you just about have to have a scissor jack. So you got super lucky with that guy at the auction sight. These muscle sedans are exceptionally good for your daily drive then drag strip them. Not ideal for canyon carving at all. lol

[@richardbrown2447]

What a nice police man Looks like he would have a good relationship with the public.

[@ptrinch]

Indeed. But Vox needs to be trained a bit better. The dogs are not allowed to touch the car, nor can they stick their nose in the window. They can just sniff the air around the car unless the officer is given consent for a search.

[@brianpongones7574]

This was actually the best video of yours, Alex.

[@westonhecker]

Was the switch a track setup for the fan ? Also check for a larger thermostat not programmed in common on these for mods

[@xsiveone]

The tire thumper is for truck drivers. You go around and thump the tires to make sure they have air in them. I'm pretty sure someone living in their car didn't have it to thump big rig tires. Someone once told me that if you keep a baseball bat in your car for protection you should also carry a glove and a ball so it looks like you just play baseball.

Methadone is used to treat many opioid addictions. Pain medication dependence can be treated with methadone. Not just for “heroin addicts”.

At those times there also is a silicone container for holding hash oil

That switch might have something to do with the fan running still. Just a guess from a mechanically reclined individual.

[@bobboy5508]

That was the best ending to a video yet. Seeing the great officer with his great dog. Showing us how they work. I think it was awesome for those two to come out and help you. That was just really cool. And I’m glad the Charger was clean.

[@martygolden7022]

This was my favorite part as well. Made my day!

[@SlimWhittman]

My wife bought a brand new 2016 Charger Hellcat that color combination except it had the Brass Monkey wheel option, same wheels but in a matte gold finish. It was a great car for about the first year. We also had the cluster blanking out and the random misfires at idle as you experienced early in your video. They never could figure it out so we went to cooperate for help. That resulted in the car being repurchased by FCA/Dodge after 15 months of ownership and 10k miles. Last Mopar product I'll ever own, but it was a blast to drive while we had it. Their build quality just isn't there.

[@JackThelRipper]

My brother bought a brand new dodge Magnum the 2nd year they were out and it had tons of electrical issues, bought it with 5 miles on the odometer and only had it for 3-4 months, it spent most of its time at the dealership shop and they couldn’t figure it out, they straight traded him out for another vehicle that wasn’t a Magnum and they told us that most of those cars had issues. I’m sorry but American made cars are junk and I only buy Toyota & Honda.

[@notsolegitgarage2967]

THE SWITCH UNDER THE DASH IS TURNING THE FAN ON, they probably did that to get the intake temps down keeping the fan on all the time

[@bobpickett5987]

Alex, you have the greatest little giggle I have ever heard. What does everybody else think?

[@MastaT_150]

Well the whole living in it theory makes total sense especially if they traded it to someone for an ultra light trailer which is probably a camper/travel trailer. They wanted a bigger house.
