Have I ever mentioned how much I hate mopar? You know how damn hard it is to find a 12v switched power source that doesn’t die when you start the car? There isn’t one. Not freaking one source front to back on this car. Pretty difficult to power a computer without that 😑

If you see one listed for sale around here, everybody stops to check it out I guess it’s some sort of modern muscle car to some people. 😂

only way I’d ever consider one is with LS Engine

The more I learn about these cars the more I understand why chrysler has so many damn problems with electrical and the more I regret doing a Chrysler. Even the damn radio is controlled by the computer

Felt good. Did a couple littke burnouts, things felt good. Launched it to see what it had and felt the trans slip top of first. Let off and now the trans like binds bad in first, drags. When it shifts to second it’s fine after that. Pulled the dipstick and it’s a water milkshake with antifreeze. Dope

I just picked up an 06 with a v6 in it, I'm planning the same swap, probably with a 6.0 and a 4L80E. Just out of curiosity, you available for an occasional question or two? This will be the first LS swap on my own and going into a Chrysler is gonna get tricky. Either way, nice job on yours man.
