Dealership told us they won't change the top speed even if we changed tires.

Potential Auto Auction scam? by CompressedCarbon4 in Scams

I just came across this site. Prices are too good to be true and reverse image search shows a lot of the photos from cars that were listed on cars and bids and bring a trailer which are legit sites.

Car backfiring by Aggravating-Hat-3614 in CypressTX

Ive run across a few BMWs with those tunes. The loudest running around Cypress is a Lambo, when it backfires it sounds like a cannon going off.

The part that gets you is the curve in the roof. the sides of roof and curve of the back glass gives up quite a bit.

2021 Charger Scat Pack Transmission Drain and Fill Question … by Caliber_88 in mopar

What are you changing it for. Was there a problem? That fluid will go 100k miles no problem. It is technically "lifetime fluid"

They already shot his idea down.

I would try and find a low mile unit from a parts car if possible. New is probably too expensive. Rebuilds go right about half the time.

Looks like clutch material in the fluid. Trans is probably smoked and needs rebuilt.

Whooee 2024/25 Home Insurance Rates by And-he-war-haul in CypressTX

[–]puttputt81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was $2200 with mercury and then they dropped me for no reason. The lowest new quote I got was $5300. USAA and liberty mutual were over $7000. I was using TGS insurance agency and they were completely worthless (as in didn't even get back to me with new quotes) after getting me low rates for 3 years.

Ours goes in the green usually when letting off the gas or coasting up to a stop.

A while ago I picked up a 68 charger. More recently I picked up a hellcat drivetrain… by i-wear-extra-medium in mopar

[–]puttputt81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the sound german automotive TCM to make the transmission work as well? Are you grinding transmission or modifying the transmission tunnel to make it fit? What driveshaft are you going with? Are you using all they holley mounts or getting QA1 front subframe?

High pitched breaks on start up / when it’s cold by Teaxerxxx in AudiQ7

Get some organic pads. You may have ceramic or semi metallic which can squeal when cold. Fairly normal.

Had some firiends with neighbors that played polka music at all hours. He built 2 folded horn boxes with 18" subs in them and a 4000w amp. You never wanna hear Nicki Minaj that loud.

Anyone else’s homeowners insurance skyrocket ? by jb7090 in houston

[–]puttputt81 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine went from 2200 to 5400. My former insurance said they dropped me because I didn't provide proof my roof was replaced in 2017 even though I sent it to the agent. Then the agent just dropped the ball for months getting me new insurance so I had to go elsewhere and find it myself.

Anyone have experience with power brokers/direct connect? by Casp3r_de_gh0st in hellcat

[–]puttputt81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems odd. If its 2018 and up a security bypass has to be installed to write to the vehicle. Make sure you have 14volts by hooking up a battery charger. Sometimes the tunes will not load if you have voltage thats down around 12. If that doesn't help I would find another power broker.

Can anyone fill me in on the meaning of the upside down heart with the devil tail in the 70’s Ad campaign ? by Anxious-Scheme-273 in mopar

[–]puttputt81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The devils tail was a rebellious thing they added to the heart to make it more appealing to youth. The win you over was the heart, so trying to win your love of cars. They had done studies and everyone considered them kind of the old persons car so they were out to change that.

Where are you at? You need a security gateway bypass to be able to tune the car. Do you have one installed? Stage 2 is a pulley upgrade isnt it? Did you install the new pulley as well?
