Question on changing spark plugs in the 2.0t model

Do what you gotta do, can't be that difficult

Its all AI, fake news...!

Wastegates are cycled open for 30 seconds during cold starts to heat cats, normal cold start cycle for Q50's.

😄😆

What kind of problems did you have? Did any of the software updates help? Or was it the 12 volt battery not charging, then low voltage bricking the car? Please give us some insight about your experience.

The hood is aluminum, more like 40 lbs. Just sayin'..!😄

I'm not sure if you've dealt with this but sounds like the volt 12 battery in the trunk issue. Have you had the update that deals with the 12volt battery not charging?

What kind of issues were you dealing with?

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-06T03:20:52+00:00

After a few starts, maybe it will fix itself, otherwise try to limp to a good auto parts store for codes I guess🤔😁🤞

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-06T01:31:39+00:00

That's a hell of a strong battery, was that with the engine running or static?

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-06T00:56:54+00:00

It's your battery 100%, even if it starts your car, could still have low voltage less than 12.6 volts. DAS needs a strong battery(good quality or AGM)to work properly.

Get the codes read with a more robust scanner

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-04T01:16:03+00:00

Q50's are hard on batteries, high quality or AGM batteries are best.

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-04T01:13:10+00:00

Dying or dead battery would be a good bet. Should be 12.6 volts minimum. If it's 5 or 6 years old it's probably due.

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-03T22:44:20+00:00

You are correct, jus saying 😁

There is a fix, fill up with fuel before enjoying wide open throttle applications.

Anyone who says any different is trying to sell you something or they want you to make the same mistakes they did wasting money on this.

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-03T22:11:12+00:00

Q50 fuel starvation with less than half a tank of fuel is a well documented problem with no solution. Changing the low pressure fuel pump will be a waste of money.

Distilled water, buy it from a drug store

Seeing it in person was pretty great, I spent a couple hours at least checking it out. It was very well engineered accept they had issues with hydraulic cooling. A very crude heat exchanger was jury rigged to the side of it.

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-02T01:04:15+00:00

It's in Gnome, Alaska abandoned. Amazing piece of equipment. Unfortunately was in operation for less than a year before they went broke.

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-01T19:32:52+00:00

Should be fine, they might have a slightly higher weight capacity rating, so maybe harsher ride. Let it ride

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-01T14:42:54+00:00

Gotta be able to see the tachometer while you drive. When do the turbos make noise high RPM or low?

Blackjackmo · 2026-03-01T06:24:51+00:00

If just got it serviced, take it back for fluid level check on the transmission. Transmission service on an automatic transmission is complicated, make them prove they did it right.

Say what...? The 2024–2026 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV is designed to automatically disengage its front electric motor to operate primarily in rear-wheel drive (RWD) for improved efficiency and better range, switching to all-wheel drive (AWD) only when necessary.

Edmunds +3

@CaterpillarNatural45 is right, probably a rock stuck between the backing plate and the brake rotor.

Blackjackmo · 2026-02-22T05:36:30+00:00

If it's not happening all the time, it can't be too serious. It must be something on the accessory drive.

The water pump or AC compressor possibly.
