UNLESS that side has the LH threads. Picture looks like RH threads, but I can't tell for sure. If it is LH threads, then it has been slightly loosened since the inspection mark.

She is up on jackstands and I have the tires off the car awaiting remounting for tomorrow or wednesday so at that point I'll be checking my nuts (so to speak) for tightness.

And my real license plates arrived today after 9 weeks. No more temp tags!

From what I have read, 90% of brake dust is iron particles from the rotors.

I respectfully disagree based on my personal experience, especially with German cars. And, believe it or not, there is still some German technology in the higher end Chrysler products; guessing left over from the merger/divorce. I have successfully gone to "white dust" type pads using the same rotors on several different cars. Pagids are the worst, but not exclusive, offender.

I got the Michellin PSP4s installed today. It rides so much nicer and handles more precisely. Also, (the fun part) when you hit the gas, the tires just chirp and launch you forward when it shifts into the next gear. Like, brutally! They don't just go up in smoke like the Pirellis did. What a difference! Totally changed how the car behaves. I dont have to be so apprehensive when using the right pedal anymore (other than making sure it's pointed in a straight line).

I was going to head out to cruise night but it was cancelled due to an impending storm. So I took some photos in the cloudy afternoon light. I also bought some 0W-40 oil and a Wix 57063 filter to change the oil in the next few days. I have 500 miles on her now. I always change oil early, on a brand new engine just to get any assembly line break-in contaminants out of the system.
Yesterday I actually found one of the unobtanium 5038041AA Mopar SRT oil filters at Rockauto - they showed one in stock after being out of stock for months, so I grabbed it for $14. I'll use that for the next filter change. They are made for Mopar by Wix but have a fancy SRT label on them. Otherwise they are exactly the same as the regular Wix 57063. They were originally designed for the last generation Vipers with special internal valving and filter material. Last edited by njsteve; 07-02-2022 at 10:20 PM. |

I've found rockauto helpful with hard to find later model stuff.

I put in the "alert me when available" message they have in their parts lookup but I just happened to find it during my daily check of the filter part number on their website.
Here's a tip: when you want an alert make sure you just put in "1" for the amount needed. I put in 2 to get extras and it didn't trigger the alert email because they only had one available. |

I just checked the mail and a letter arrived with a $138 refund from the dealer for overpayment on the NJ registration estimate. Just enough for a tank of gas!!!
Dealing with the the Dodge dealer in Virginia was great, other other than the 9 weeks it took for plates to arrive. Now that I think of it, it actually took longer to get my plates than it did to get the actual car! LOL |
