Are the original parts better than aftermarket when it comes to mopar? Like if I wanted to change the ball joints even though there's nothing wrong with the handling, I always see Mopar replacements sold out or at more of a premium than moog or ac Delco, So I have this dodge with 150 miles on it, and I'm just dreaming of things I can change, but really I should trust in the Mopar quality itself. I think I just answered my own question.
>>28427421That's the lower ball joint on the right tire btw hehe
>>28427421in my experience while non-mopar parts will generally get you down the road you gotta be careful because there are so many variations of the parts sometimes. dee if you can find the exact part number and buy that specifically, preferably from a local place so you can actually see the part first.
>>28427427While I see that advice necessary for classic cars, for me personally I have a durango and so I trust that most parts will fit although I've seen some mixed reviews on a wide range of components. I even got moog sway bar bushings and they were noticeably smaller than the originals. It's still a great car for what it is.
>>28427435moog is one of those companies that has been stealthily reducing quality and i've noticed a lot of butthurt here and in boomer forums over it, just cause you got good parts this time, for this part doesn't necessarily mean they'll be good again.
damn this general is just as dead as mopar

>>28433740The strut brace is obvious why it's good, but the cold air intake is nice because it has air intake from below like stock but it also hooks up to the headlight air intake.
Holy fuck just how massive is a chally IRL?
I need to see one in person.
yo wallies.
what winter tires do I want for a nb chally? we donโt get THAT much snow, but itโs blistering cold. 245s?
>>28434728What the fuck is an nb chally
non-binary?
>>28434692Doubt there's too many in Africa.
>>28434692It's big, but not massive. I have a Yukon XL as well so massive to me is relative. Because it's a coupe, it's low slung so it's not very tall which visually makes it somewhat sleeker. Like a Honda fit has a higher roof line.
It's good it's big, lots of room in front and back seats, and a huge trunk. A hellcat is genuinely a practical vehicle.
>>28427332 (OP)I picked up an eagle 5.7 hemi to swap today for $210. It's missing stuff like the pan, intake, accessories. Do I need to get all this off another 2009+ car or can I use any year.

Getting new clutch for 392 Challenger. All Mopar factory new parts. Clutch disc, pressure plate, flywheel, slave cylinder, pilot bearing. Parts + labor total cost will be $2,400. Good deal?
>>28439693ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh for that kinda money surely there is a slightly superior aftermarket option. it's not great but not terrible either, sounds like you're getting a lil deal on the labor maybe, but a little one like $100 off maybe
>>28439699A McLeod RST is about $1,400 online, without markup. Comes with disc, plate and flywheel. I was less interested in aftermarket clutches because I'm not tracking it, don't want a super grabby clutch that effects streetability. Which I assume aftermarket clutches will be.

It's called "el wire". look it up on YT like "challenger el wire", there's plenty of installation videos
>>28441737>>28441714I just got the Monster kit from walmart, it was like $12 on sale and comes with plenty of tube. it's not electroluminescent, just fiber optic, which is why it's much cheaper. The PF Dart had lights like this as a factory option but the Challenger never got it.

>>28441970looks neato, are you connecting to the usb port on the middle arm rest console?
Also, can you change colors and brightness?
>>28442101i have it wired under the carpet of the passenger seat and into the rear fusebox with an add-a-circuit stuck in the fuse point for the dashboard outlet, so that it turns off and on with the car. the armrest outlet is actually powered all the time and will drain your battery if you leave things plugged into it.
and yeah, it's fully configurable in brightness and color and can also be animated or react to music. i don't use those features much because of how distracting it is.
>>28442115can you make an electrical schematic, even paint wiring drawing is fine.
I'd like to change my el wire since it's one color and it's hooked to the led under the driver's dashboard side, connected with a little buzzing voltage converter.
It works fine, but I want more colors
>>28442151oh uh yeah here you go
use an ATM fuse tap and put it in the slot for the dashboard power outlet. this particular fuse point is actually a switch that allows you to set whether or not you want the dashboard outlet to be powered on all the time like the armrest one is, and should be the only ATM fuse in the box. put the fuse in the tap, and crimp the positive lead into it. put the tap in the rearward fuse position, then simply attach the negative lead to the negative battery post. i just stripped the wire and jammed it into the negative terminal while i push it over the post, but there are cleaner ways to do it. as for the wiring i ran it under the rear seat and into the B-pillar, down across the door sill and under the passenger seat.
there are 4 LED endcaps for this, kit and i put two in the armrest and the other two i ran under the center console up to the dashboard, behind the driver's kickpanel, and out at the steering column.

>>28443003the limiter seems to be a regional thing and can also be changed or turned off with a custom order. challengers built for the southwest region seem to not have it.
https://fcagroup.my.site.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing
enter your VIN here and you will get a build sheet telling you who and where your car was built for and what every package on it is.
the info on my v6 reads "HIGH SPEED ENGINE CONTROLLER" which slyly means it has no limiter at all. it can also be easily disabled or changed with AlfaOBD.
>>28443039Dickheads were removing the speed limiters on 2005~ V6 Mustangs and blowing them up. Your driveshaft is made from recycled pop cans.
>>28443039To my (limited) knowledge it depends on the speed rating the OEM tires that shipped with it had. Car came with Ts, stuck to 120. Hs, 130.
>>28443071my driveshaft is actually a Weller 1pc with Spicer U-joints but thanks for playing
>>28443241Interesting, I can't see from the build sheet what the speed rating on my car's factory tires was, but i can see they were 235/55R18 Michelins, which would have probably been the Primacy MXM4, which are V-rated.
>>28443496Why a one piece drive shaft on a V6?
>>28443526The original was made from recycled pop cans
>>28443526center ds bearing went out, i had a grand to blow, and i was like what the hell why not
>>28443527the bushing for the center bearing dies to the heat of the exhaust and you can buy a $300 bearing clamp, chop the bearing out of its bushing and cut the original brace off the ds with a hacksaw, or just replace the ds with the newer revision or hellcat version which costs basically the same as a custom 1pc anyway. i've done both, did the clamp for my bro and put the 1pc in mine, and i frankly prefer the full ds replacement, it's a little easier and less messy. it also massively improves the torque response and feel of the car, especially when accelerating through corners, it doesn't twist or rubberband like the stock 2pc does so the 2.62 LSD it's attached to can do its best work.

>>28434692Bigger than it should be, but it's only sedan-tier and not truck-tier.
It can be annoying to park at times. It feels compact enough while you angle it, but you don't have a rounded front end and you're always conscious of the front corners scraping other cars on your way in.
>captcha: 8P00P
>>28446265>Bigger than it should beWrong. The size is necessary for having plenty of interior room, 3 full back seats and a large trunk.
A muscle car is a large, practical vehicle with a big ass V8 stuffed into it. Mustang's and Camaro's are pony cars and are consequently smaller.
>>28443241This is what GM did with f-bodies. Cars without z rated tires came with a 112 or 115mph limiter. Cars with z rated tires were limited at 155mph.
>>28446411Challenger vs Camaro size comparison.
>>28446411>3 full back seatsChallengers have less rear room than a subcompact. This is such a farce.
>>28446599Camaro trunk and rear seat vs Challenger. Challenger has 2 car seats and an adult in the rear seat.
>>28446623Ok retard.
>>28446633>american car can't fit americansSAD!
>>28428149It's to that yellow tape they put on for some reason, maybe to protect that area during transport idk
>>28447097I don't think even a tiny pajeet would fit. If you intend to use the back seats, you don't buy a camaro or a mustang. They're basically just there so you can throw your jacket back there.
>>28446599i really think this website completely misrepresents the cars visually because it doesn't show how wide the camaro is in comparison. look at the wheelbase difference instead of the body. it's really not much bigger than the camaro, with a different chassis aspect ratio.
the challenger's physical length is mostly plastic and empty space. if you park the ass of it up on the sidewalk, it's literally the size of a civic.
>>28447142The Challenger has a 6" longer wheelbase than the Camaro and is 1" wider. That "empty space" is actually the interior room, trunk and larger engine bay.
The Challenger is not huge but is larger than the Camaro in a significant way, allowing for much more room.
>>28447157> is 1" widerbody width is not track width
seeing the cars actually parked next to each other is not the same thing as this website
> That "empty space" is actually the interior room, trunk and larger engine bay.yes no shit retard that is all quite literally, physically, empty space and plastic and not really much structural "car"

>>28447383>You can also tell that your V6 is faster than a hellcat around a trackyes i can because i am not a retard and i don't ascribe some mythical bullshit brand/segment/design philosophy godpowers to a car that just has high numbers in any one particular area without carefully analyzing the actual physics of the situation.
a super track pack v6 with some good tires will absolutely smoke a stock hellcat around a curvy circuit. i'm sorry it's true, the v6 PHYSICALLY handles better BECAUSE it has less power and better chassis balance, it can be driven closer to the limit and with more confidence, as exemplified by the GR86, the Hellcat Challenger, and the Z all being near each other in the rankings. the Pentastar Challenger has more power and better suspension geometry than the GR86, better balance than the Z, and it weighs 400 lbs less than the Hellcat. It has the same transmission as the Hellcat Charger that's up by the LITERAL SUPERCARS. That is a winning combination.

>>28447183I'm not even sure what you're arguing about. Seating, trunk space and "plastic" is still part of a car's physical dimensions. Is a suburban not a very large vehicle because most of it's size is ""empty space""? When parking you can't just sperg and say "haha it's just empty space and plastic". The physical dimensions are still real and you will still hit other cars if you pretend they aren't.
I canโt stop flooring it on the interstate bros. The 6.4 just sounds so beautiful. Also itโs crazy how long you can stretch second gear and the upshift pop is fucking glorious.
>>28447908Feels good man. Dropping from 6th to 3rd on the highway and blasting off, giving the other cars the full exhaust treatment.
>>28447945Hell yeah brother
Do you guys use radar detectors?
>>28447106yes it's a splitter guard, meant for protection during shipping. dumbass owners were dumpster diving at dodge dealers to put them back on.
The better option would be to have a paint matched splitter guard, then it actually doesn't look gaudy.
>>28447766>Is a suburban not a very large vehicle because most of it's size is ""empty space"no because a burban is a genuinely big vehicle with a body on frame design and a very long wheelbase. even though a challenger looks larger, it's really the styling of it that gives the impression, rather than it being that much physically larger. the viper also achieves this effect.
for example the camaro's body is 1 inch less wide, yet the two cars have the same track width. the wheelbase length difference is 6 inches which also happens to be the same as the difference between the charger and challenger. the challenger looks slightly taller than the camaro because its roofline is bulged out for extra headroom like the durango. the plastic front and rear fascias are massive and contribute a whole foot to the car's length alone but they also make it extra durable and repairable, so yeah, you probably could park a chally by feel if you wanted to be particularly careless and likely get away with it.
the end result is the challenger drives like a much smaller car than it really is.
>>28446599you can see by the graph at the bottom of the screenshot the cars really aren't that much different, but the pictures massively, wildly exaggerate the "9 inches" of length and 1 inch of height the challenger has on the camaro, probably because they are lazily photoshopped composites instead of actual orthographic views.
like you're literally gonna look at the challenger's entire roofline enveloping the camaro and tell me that's "1 inch" ? come on now. that website is fucked.
>>28448438>like you're literally gonna look at the challenger's entire roofline enveloping the camaro and tell me that's "1 inch"It says the roofline is 4" taller you brainlet.
>>28448483Camaro "Real height" = 4.43 ft
Challenger "Real height" = 4.76 ft
>4.75 - 4.43 = 4 >????????????do the actual math instead of looking at picture books lmao
>>28448505Real height is the highest point, which is the antenna on the Camaro. The roofline on the Camaro is where the window sill is on the Challenger. Only a blind retard can't see the Challenger is inches taller.
>>28448521>counting the antennathis is some real manlet shit lmao
it's literally 1 inch higher off the ground, that's it. the camaro also has smaller wheels from factory, you are just seeing the difference between 18" and 20".
>>28448533>counting the antennaYes, that's exactly what they did. Are you blind or retarded Anon?
>>28448505>4.75 - 4.43 = 4THIS FUCKING RETARD LMAOOO. Those are feet measurements you fucking moron.
>>28448533They're both on 20" wheels.
>graphs with no labelled axes

come on now even liberals are better than this
you are literally FIGHTING ME to claim that the sizemogging of the chally makes you, gr86, corvette and camaro owners feel like tiny baby men in little tykes cozy coupes, while I, a chally owner, am telling you from experience that the difference is not actually that much, and you should get over your insecurity and just buy a fucking chally already.
that is what we are arguing about right now.
also your website is gay and its pictures are taken by a retard but thats neither here nor there
>>28448633I have a SRT 392. It's cooler than your wally chally.
>>28448626>They're both on 20" wheels.then the pictures are not to scale and the size difference is misrepresented.
look at the arc of the rear wheels, the challenger's wheel is noticeably larger.
>>28448638>It's cooler than your wally chally.then where's your discord tranny seething brigade?
you can't be a hero without villains
>>28448643>not to scaleThey are.
>arc of the rear wheelYou can't see the Challenger's wheels.
The Camaro is noticeably smaller. I don't know why you're sperging about it. Headroom, interior room, engine bay space and trunk space are larger, therefore the car is larger. The Camaro's trunk is 9.1 cubic feet, the Challenger's trunk 16.2 cubic feet. The Challenger is larger and that's good.
>>28448653Lol, I don't pride myself on being so autistic on 4chan people remember me. Last time I really noticed a retard autist was reddit randy on /fit/. He ended up sperging out, shooting up his neighborhood, yelling slurs and going to prison for 8.5 years.

>>28448671all i need to say is lurk more
if you're seething at me so hard you can't help but think of some crazy dude the problem is you and the crazy dude who lives in your head rent free. i'm just enjoying myself.
also as i remember it everyone who was ever cool on /fit/ is unironically dead
>>28448685You caught me, schizo detective. I actually own that site and make $25,000/mo off of it.
I'm 360 swapping my ZJ soon and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth dropping $500 on a cam while I'm in there. It should be good for +50hp/+20ft-lbs after a tune and I've seen people say that their stock 5.9 ECU could run it, but I'm planning to stick with my 5.2 ECU for the moment and that seems like an awful lot of changes for a stock ECU to deal with. Also is swapping to flat tappets to save $300 as terrible of an idea as I think it is?
>>28448690it really wouldn't surprise me, seeing as the only time i ever see it get posted is when someone needs to seethe about how utterly mogged they are by the dodge challenger and literally at no other time
>>28448713As I said, my chally is cooler than yours.
>>28448694absolutely go for roller tappets and the cam that thing will be fast as fuck
>>28448776you wouldn't race me anywhere with corners thoughbeit
>>28448783I've got 6 piston brembos, big dog. I think I'll be fine. By the way, if your point was just that the Challenger isn't AS big as some people think it is, that's true. It's big enough to be practical with space but it isn't massive.

>>28455210>I'm thinking about getting an unremarkable tin can shitboxWhy?
>>28455210ok but y tho
also that car is weird because it's not an AMC or a Chrysler but a Mitsubishi.
if the 2nd gen Challenger is a Mopar then that is a Mopar
>>28455240a USDM RVR, it's a lancer wagon anon, it even has a 4g. i hear you can bolt Eclipse stuff to em pretty easy
>>28455266You mean an Eagle Talon?
Since V8 charger is all but confirmed, will you be getting one?
>>28455293No, because it's going to cost $60+k, maybe in a few years. Also I hope it has a manual option but I get the feeling it won't.
>>28455285no, the Eagle Summit, it's the USDM Lancer, or if anon is looking at the wagon variant, the Expo LRV/RVR, which is all basically the same car: the 4th-gen mitsubishi mirage

>>28455366I like these things. They called it a wagon, but it's more like a sub compact mini van.
Criminal lack of Vipers over here.
I have a base model 2019 Subaru legacy and I am very strongly tempted to trade her in for a GT challenger (I would prefer the AWD because snow up here in the great lakes shoreline can get pretty rough, some days mother nature just dumps 7 inches on you as a joke)
>>28455293No I am keeping my scatpack until Iโm a boomer and then it gets passed to my son
>>28455663one of my bros just got this awd gt super track pack and he loves it, he sidegraded from an awd charger and keeps telling me how it's the car he shoulda bought in the first place
he just hit a deer with it last week and now he's getting a new front bumper but the car is fine luckily
>>28455674also the owner of the black chally in this pic also traded in his subaru forester for this absolutely beat to shit, decatted, loud as hell '15 super track pack v6 and proceeded to beat the shit out of it so hard he lost his license, got it back, and is now continuing to beat the absolute piss out of this poor car up in chicago. it's a rwd car but same basic drivetrain. these things are like fucking cockroaches. you have to actually try to kill them.
>>28455706>>28455674Challys seem to be the only good thing Mopar has made in the last decade. Which is good because they are pretty sick
>>28455730lx platform in general is super solid and benefits from having a nearly 20 year production run, they're easy and cheap to fix and very very durable. when i go to the junkyard i see mostly stuff based on mitsubishi or fiat designs. sometimes a neon or pt, most of the stratuses and LH cars of the new dodge era are gone now, but i still see them driving around pretty regularly.
but the lx cars, the only ones in the junkyards seem to be shit with the 2.8 like 1st gen 300s and magnums, cop or detective cars that have 6 gorillion miles, or bhph mules that met their end face first into a wall at 120 mph and still have bits of the driver inside. it is exceedingly rare to see newish challys or chargers even though other chrysler cars of similar vintage such as the Dart, FCA 200, and Journeys fill the junkyards. mine lived a hard life as a dallas-area rental car then i bought it at 100k more or less on the dot, and proceeded to drive it another 100k with only some minor maintenance and repair costs.
it is extremely rare to find a car that is reliable, practical, competently performant, and nice to look at inside and out, all in one package for a reasonable price. 30 mpg, 300hp, a zf8, 5 seats, 8 cupholders, and it has the road presence of a nuclear explosion. a v6 chally is absolutely the best deal in cars right now.
>>28455767ac condenser has a drain tube in that general location. oil-bearing parts are much further in.
>>28455355You're a starving artist
>>28455873thank you for complimenting what i do by calling it art
>>28455240>>28455266Because I think it would be funny and I have the money to spare. I do not want anything flashy, just an old shitbox to wrench on. I see quite a few Mirages from that time period too.

>>28457801yeah honestly it's a good platform and a reliable engine, if the thing isn't rusty i say go for it, make it a sick sleeper, just do a lil ebay turbo kit and a nice exhaust, coilovers and some decent looking wheels. leave the body alone, just clean and wax/seal it.
absolutely nothing but respect for clean '90s cars. there was a bit from like 1989 to about 1996 where even the shitboxes just looked like they rolled out of a syd mead painting. gorgeous. it's just a shame everything cool looking from that era is fwd.
bump because a certain bharati motor weehicle owner is threadsliding
>>28457801>I do not want anything flashyWhy not? It's fun. The best part is when kids get excited about your car when you roll by. I always rev it for them if they ask. I remember being a kid and wanting to hear that Corvette or whatever cool car gun it or rev bomb so I pass that along.

>>28456536You dedicate a concerning amount of time into taking pictures of your rental in front of Chinese restaurants and other stupid shit, I've gotta call it something.
>>28458153>Eagle OptimaThat thing looks incredible. And they never made it?
>>28459943>driving a car to places is "concerning">photography is "hard and time consuming"anon i think you're just a boring soulless person
>>28459944as a matter of fact, they did
>>28459944there was also the Lamborghini Portofino which ended up donating its styling to the LH and JA cars. the 300m released in that time was originally supposed to be the Eagle version of the Intrepid, but when Eagle was shuttered that car became a Chrysler.
you can give Mopar all the shit in the world but when it comes right down to it they have a great track record of showing off the coolest concepts and then actually making cars that look like that, and they seemingly never give up when it comes to bringing new ideas to the market. mass-produce a lamborghini concept car? open wheeled 1930s t-bucket-inspired boomer cruiser? shaker hood? fuck it yolo

>>28459947I'd just rather spend my limited free time (I'm not a starving artist that lives at my parent's house) not taking whacky pictures of a former rental in front of Chang Chung's Generic Americanized Chinese #3738495
>>28459976that just sounds like a cope because you don't have a nice car, photography skills, or places with interesting lighting to take pictures in.
it literally takes 5 seconds for me to go "oh shit that place looks cool" and pull over and snap some pics or make a mental note to come back later. like nigga there is a camera on your phone try harder

The only thing 964s have over my car is in the front fascia. 993s I wouldn't fuck with a rented dick.

you're right, we aren't the same

>sitting on mcdonalds struts At the front, you fucking retard.
>you're right, we aren't the sameAnd praise the good lord for that. I can't imagine spending literal fucking years producing shitty video game clips of my car, AI pictures, and making a general like this as a coping mechanism for a former rental I overpaid for, Felcher. What's next, going to put a ring on a prostitute too?
>>28460023the difference between me and you is that you bought your car for the image. for the prestige. a porsche is a rich man's car, right? that's all you care about, that she makes you look fancy, like a well-dressed whore on your arm. you have a non-turbo 4wd because you are afraid of true RR and you don't have the skill to handle one. you seethe at me personally because you know this to be true, that you don't really love that car.
i bought this car because i truly love this car. i bought it with 100% intent, knowing full well what the reaction from here would be because having someone thump retarded ass v6 shitboxes was always an /o/ tradition.
i love the way she looks in the light, how the shadows lay on her body creases, the way her smug face is haloed by streetlamps at just the right angle, that she is simple and easy to care for, and i love that i have rescued her from an ignominious fate as a watermelon donk or worse. even at her worst people go out of their way to tell me how "rich" i look driving her. does anyone ever do that for you?
you, who is obsessed only with status, can never understand the love of a machine. you simply wear them like jewelry and throw them away. i don't even consider you to be the same species as me.
>>28460055>the difference between me and you is that you bought your car for the image. for the prestige.So fucking wrong it's not even funny. Not reading the rest when you start off with that dumbass assumption. I've had so many of you queers pull this on me and it speaks more to how you're status obsessed shitskins if that's where your mind wanders. You know who's gone buck wild for my car? Fucking old geezers. I don't own this thing to pull bitches, I'm happily married.
I think a company stubbornly putting an engine in the wrong place and making it work for decades is interesting. I love the way the engine sounds, the styling, how it's not a punishing penalty box to drive with weirdly angled seating or an overly stiff suspension. The company has an identity and they don't feel the need to reinvent the look of their flagship car every couple of decades (Mustangs and Corvettes come to mind). Enjoy your car for coalburners and their drug dealers.
see every car nowadays is just a blob. you look at them at night and it's just a mess of distorted reflections from every which way.
the challenger draws its own silhouette in light as it passes under streetlamps at night. it not just got a distinctive shape it has a shape that slices into reality like a knife. you see one and you know immediately what it is, and it has a shape that evokes not just itself but an entire generation of motoring, even chevys and fords and nissans all call out from its marble-hewn form. it's an absolute masterpiece of design. pure sex. and this absolute semen demon of an automobile is so pleasantly and modestly appointed and surely-made you have basically no excuse not to own one.
that's why any argument against this car has to personally attack its owner. you cannot actually be a red blooded human being and actually dislike this perfect machine, you're just ashamed to admit you do.
>>28460065>I think a company stubbornly putting an engine in the wrong place and making it work for decades is interesting.yet you buy the version of the car made specifically for drivelets who could not handle it in its original rwd form? even the safari rally 911s were still rwd. you don't have a 989, come on now. a nonturbo 4s is literally a hairdresser's car.
>You know who's gone buck wild for my car? Fucking old geezers.it's not getting hit on i'm talking about you fruitcake, random people literally just tell me my car is nice all the time. old people, young people, men, women, every conceivable race and twitter status, bro. it's crazy. i can't imagine anybody doing that to a porsche owner except other porsche owners.
>Enjoy your car for coalburners and their drug dealers.see all you can do is seethe about status and image
