My Stolen Dodge Demon 170 Rebuild Is Going Poorly..

[@emustang89able]

As a stage 3 cancer survivor, watching your videos has motivated me to restore my 84’ mustang with 35,816 miles on it. Thanks for the videos and motivation! Let’s go!

Mike Starck is one of the best in the Mopar community! I have faith he'll get it running!

[@55GMCSuburban]

There was a recent video by the Car Wizard that touched on module issues with Dodge and complaints being filed with the department of transportation. As he explained that Dodge does not allow used modules to be reassigned to a new VIN and unfortunately, Dodge is having backorder issues on various modules.

[@Autocreatorz]

yea pcm and bcm and tipm they dont want to re write and some cant im surprised there are people buy thoes on ebay

[@mikeplitnick6370]

You're gunna want to start with the RF HUB and write the correct VIN into that man, ive had to do practically the same thing youre trying to do with a scatpack that got stolen and brought to the dealership i work at, it is annoying and time consuming, you have to write each VIN into each module practically one by one

[@braybarnes1714]

David is 100percent on the right track. i’m a mopar mechanic and i find myself circling back with modules during updates and recalls all the time. There seems to always be a specific way to rewrite modules. and every mopar car is different it’s absurd

[@braybarnes1714]

And the thieves 100 percent rewrote the vin attempting to start it. Nothing screams louder than that.

[@stephon6839]

could i ask you a question about uconnect

[@kturbo09]

The chop shops make it look so easy lol. Hope you get it running soon!

[@Ryfhoff]

Bro you need me! 25 years in the computer game. That error looks like the command actually being sent has something wrong with the data. Too many chars , spaces , illegal chars etc. gotta see what the app is doing to build the command and what it sends to the ECu. May be able to hijack that and modify. The other issue I can think of is some of those modules aren’t writable, must be a flag or another setting that sets read only. Ping me.

[@Autocreatorz]

yes a bunch of the models are write only from blank. and if you try and swap a pcm it will write that vin in this car causeing the issue they have

[@makeouthilldesign8408]

Watching all these electrical and VIN issues makes me love my 90s JDM so much more. Still a dope build!

so glad to see this 170 back in a video, this color is too perfect to stay sitting in the shop 🔥🔥

[@jezpigg4529]

Some car modules use modbus to communicate, modbus is great but has its issues, mainly if you change anything at all, unplug, plug back in etc you need to power down everything for it to reset the communications.

[@therealshaad24]

The thieves actually contacted you remember? Hit em up and ask em what they did lol

[@Theevilporkchop]

Love the color choice on this MOPAR, been watching all the builds since the start of the main channel. Keep up the great work! Porsche and MOPAR for the win!

[@leonmcclerin2521]

My favorite channel. I often dive into car projects and these guys help me through the tough times. I think it’s the necessary patience required to complete a build. When things go wrong they don’t stress they just blame Fernando. lol keep up the good work. You will get that demon up and running I’m sure before I finish my 550i.

[@spartan1876]

Dodge has a flash for every challenger and charger when the get the pdi done and it flashes a program on it that completely bricks every module if it gets stolen and prevents the modules getting programmed. One of the guys had to fix some at a dealer I worked for and had to replace everything that had the vin programmed into it. There should be info on what to do in the dealer connect software on it all.

some of the "memory" in the car for like milage and clock are effected by letting the car die. could try updating the car with the 2020 and then disconnecting the battery because it thinks the 2018 is saved to it's on board and idk how to flip the key on off 5 times and push the start button twice resets that particular function.

[@stephengulski6289]

Some modules are grounded through the module housings so for good measure I Would make sure you have a good ground for the modules unless they have a plastic body and be careful if you are doing any welding on the car. Make sure your twisted comm lines are away from any electrical “noise” and not touching ground so they can communicate properly with SGW module and the rest of the network and make sure the star connector is good if it has one and not burnt up.

[@doomslayermax]

Good on ya Starcks for you all your time you have put into this keep up the good work

[@wkjeeping9053]

That trackhawk I want to see. But with all these modules and computers and comms is why I love my 65 ford truck. The only wiring hassle is the stereo system I put in.

[@MrKmoneyone]

You have to use a bypass to get around the SGW when using alfa. But you need to start with the correct RF hub and BCM.

i had a issue like that i have a bunch of the older srt8s and since i have a few i borrowed a pcm from one to another and well that vin over wrote over the orginal on a few modules important one being the BCM so when you see orginal and current there diffrent i assume this is so people cant swap the pcm to steal a car but once you have a mixed matched vin you have to get them all back align pcm and tipm bcm being the important ones

[@antoniofunicello]

Do you have a security gateway, bypass module?

[@JasonWolek]

i remember something about a vin number problems with the 170s where vins were set wrong from the factory maybe your car is one of them. think the guy you raced with was involved with it. his racecar name was somethinng like soul stealer or some shit. call him he might help

[@NoNamety-up9qe]

Looooong shot. I wonder if swapping the vin had anything to do with starting it? I wonder if the vin decrypts the rolling code and then allows the car to start? So, they had a code to that vin but needed to swap that car to their vin?

[@Levent_Ergun]

Are there any D170 specific modules in this car? If not wouldn’t be easier to transplant an entirely matching harness out of a donor vehicle and program that? Also probably not the case but maybe vin swapped modules were bench programmed by directly accessing the soc/eeprom?

[@FDAgarage]

Have u checked the abs pump. Vin might be locked on that

[@deonj8515]

Try using an automatic tcm, did you program the tcm or use a spare. When writing a vin, it says out of parameter which could be Alfa obd saying this type of car doesn’t exist. Not sure just a thought

[@deonj8515]

Or you can try programming a different car the exact same way as the d170, backing up the modules and program the 170 with the backup

[@PapaWoody440]

1:12 Steering rack control module. Why the F does a car need a control module for the steering rack? And what happens when the module for your steering glitches out? My dad always used to say, "That's just more shit that'll break" and more and more, I see his wisdom.

[@acgm6]

I’m a Chrysler Tech and we get these all the time. Every module with the incorrect VIN has to be replaced.

Sounds like you need to get a set of modules that actually communicate with each other.

[@chucknanopoulos7227]

You need to dump the files with the program and you need to change the vin with a .bin file on hex editor and rewrite the .bik file
