Hi Everyone

I just picked up a 23 Durango Hellcat with very low miles. Drove it back home to NC and was an absolute blast.

Previously, I had an RHO. I loved the truck for what it was as a Raptor competitor. But I had nothing but problems. 6 service visits in 4 months and one via a tow truck after it wouldn’t idle. When the tow truck left my house with my truck, that was the end for me.

My first upgrade will be the JLT intake I think.

I look forward to looking through the forums to learn more. I don’t have any pics yet as I just got home and it’s raining.. but wow, I loved driving this monster!

Why is that beauty sitting outside in the rain when there appears to be a perfectly suitable garage right behind it? :unsure:;)

Welcome to the party!

I missed your intro originally.

Congratulations on the ride and welcome to our place.

Welcome to the party!
lol I wish! My wife’s 500 storage bins cover the garage and my tiny area for lawn equipment has it packed.

I do notice one thing and maybe it’s because it only has 500 miles on it. When I go to back into the driveway and turn, there’s a faint pop for a lack of a better word. It’s not bad but noticeable.
