The Hellcat requires periodic blood sacrifice, to bond with its owner.

I have several scars on my hands as proof of prior blood-sacrifices to previous vehicles.

This thread has answered so many questions I had.

Like why do so many people sell them with ridiculously low miles on them?

So they don't have to change plugs.

Just buy a new car instead lol 😂

You got your lines further away than I was brave enough to try. If dementia ever sets in and I hate myself enough to do this again, I will remember this.

All cylinders on the left side are healthy. @Speedy! and I were worried about #7. Other than boostane being found, all is good. Time for more boost! Also have new knock sensors just in case.

There's nothing like having an emotional support pup near by cooly watching you while doing a knuckle skinning exercise!

Nice, minimal if any real carbon deposits.

How many miles on this motor?

Dodge doesn't realize these cars need to be maintained.

Doing the plugs in my RT was a bitch….this looks like a during winter project to be able to walk away from when frustrations rise.
I can only imagine what a dealer would charge to do them.

So after evaluating the data, the knock is not coming from the cylinders. On first drive it was smooth. Still going to replace the knock sensors but I’m glad plugs are done.

Yeah, that's what is the worst to me most the time - is my back - after leaning over into engine bay for a while it starts to hurt & can barely straighten back up, then hurts for 2 > 3 days after, & tearing up your hands sucks too !

I think I'll wait for a while to do this, your at 60k & surely 1st plug change.
I just rolled over 10k on my way to the track last Friday night, so think it'll be good for a while b4 it needs it, but the older I get the worse it'll be when I do, do it. :eek:
