What's Going on with my Demon 170? Is my Engine Trashed?

  • I went to my local dealership to get some answers as to what happened to my Demon 170 at the track. This is an update to my previous video in which my car went into limp mode at the track, and the transbrake stopped working. It has been two weeks since I took the car to the dealer and Stellantis has still yet to weigh in, despite the issue being escalated to senior engineers. This problem has the potential to keep the car down for months.

      I was messing with my 2016 ram 1500 PCM I accidentally left one of the connection not attached enough. And for some reason it was revving my motor at 1500rpm. It usually sits below 900. I went back and sat it correctly and it was fine after. It was throwing low battery voltage. And ABS light with traction control.

I actually had my home burn down because of a recall on a 2004 Durango and got no compensation or anything. What a worthless car manufacturer. I will always hate them💯 also had a work van with extended warranty that was purchased when new. The motor blew and they would not stand behind it. Bought a new Chevrolet work van and I'll never go back. Goodluck to you and the car. Dodge is trash💯

      I'm agreeing with the idea that it's ether a bad sensor or a programming issue. I just hope it's not a defect in the oil pump cavitation of the oil. That's going to cause damage. The computer should have a recording of the oil pressure when it set the codes. And the RPM at the time. Hoping for the best for you and your car.

      @@dragvan1937 I know this is 12 days old but it sounds like the violent launches pushes all the oil away from where it's needed causing the engine to start eating itself. Was a known issue with the bosses at Stelantis but they had already built a bunch of engines so they quietly put in a better pump on all future built engines (or one that keeps the oil where it needs to be properly) and just crossed their fingers.

We had cars sitting around for months because I could not locate parts or Stelantis couldn't supply them. The parts and service get screwed because Stelantis can't deliver. I had to submit two and three requests for hellcat parts before they would release them. I could have sold five times the parts if Stelantis could have just supplied them.

    RACERX,
    I owe you an opology. I thought you modified the 170 ,but now l recall you said on a previous show you were not modifying the 170 to keep the warranty in tact. My bad.
    I do love your show and your enthusiasm and competitive attitude.
    I like your show so much ,in August 2022 l purchased a brand new Challenger RT in F8 green.
    Only option on my RT is the automatic trany. I have a spinal cord problem so l need the auto trany.
    I could have purchased a Camero or Mustang ,but went with the Mopar for the traditional muscle body and especially the round headlight retro style.
    I have been rer ended several times. Having a bigger car just makes me feel more visible on the road. Higher seat level makes it easier for me to enter and exit vehicle.
    I see some drivers with portable car hand controls prefer the larger Challenger too.
    I love my RT. I put less than 1000 miles per year ,so l will do well if l ever decide to resell.
    If you have kept the 179 stock ,the dealer should cover the oil flow problem. Hopefully they find the fix for fast ,so we can get back to seeing a true stock 170 raceing again at the track.
    Keepin my fingers crossed.
    I love my RT. It sounds great. I don’t race it. Don’t burn the tires. I’m keepin it cream puff condition. Only drive it about once every week or two. Got plenty of power for my non racing needs. Just a cool cruder with a great stock sound. I’m keepin it totally stock for future generations to enjoy and collect.
    Once again, l hope they find a quick simple solution. I hate to say, if it’s been there two weeks, it looks like they can’t figure it out.
    I see they have made a “case study” of your 170.
    Your 170 looks so cool on the road and at the track.
    I guess l should get a RACERX cap. They do look cool. Hope you get caps in a lighter color for sunny day events. We should see your fans wearing RACERX caps at the track when you race.
    Maybe give some out as a promotion ,to kids at the track?
    Your show is great. I feel you should have a larger following, but there’s a lot of competition.
    I saw how you modified the Mustang with nitro and you and others were impressed. I thought maybe you did the same with your 170.
    Having your car in the shop is like having a sick pet at a pet hospital. It really gets to you.
    I real hope they find and fix the oil flow issue.
    The stock sound of my RT turns heads all the time. I keep it clean and covered.
    Thanks for sticking with MOPAR. The best of luck to you and your shows future.👏👏👏🏎🏎🏎

    My little 2012 Mustang GT only ran a 9.01@156 mph last fall. Had to leave at idle as I was not sure if the track would hold my Hoosier Drag Radials. Well, that got me kicked off the track due to no roll cage. I plan on installing a cage this summer. I was running a 72mm pulley. I wonder what it will run with my 63mm pulley? We shall see.

    Is G forces doing something to the oil pressure, it’s a beast off the line.
    I imagined they checked for the oil pressure sensor is within electrical spec.
    Also you can pull the oil filter off to release trapped air in the system somewhere to re prime the system.
    The pressure regulator in the oil pump
    is responsible for keeping the oil pressure in the system at the necessary pressure.

    i went thru the same hassles last year with my SRT durango and it wasn't resolved because the dealership that i leased it from didn't have a mechanic qualified to work on it so they were guessing at the problem and had to contract the job out to another dealership to repair the problem which turned out to be a valve lifter. the dreaded hemi tik.

      Dodge has jumped on it. The SRT engineers have departed. Engneers that design Fiats and EV's are not going to be helpful. If you bought a Last Call anything it was a roll of the dice. If you bought a 170 your going to to be in for a lot of frustration since the resources to troubleshoot anything don't exist. The techs at the dealership have not been trained to work on these cars. They are learning as well. As Dodge folds your going to be left with no techs as they will move on. Kudos to RacerX for showing the reality of owning and driving the car as intended. For all those sitting for sale that have never been driven - your likely buying a pig in a poke. That Grand Wagoneer is pure garbage BTW. They can't fix the gremlims on those either.

    Transmission converter lockout failure. The cam sensor threw a code, and it failed due to a low-pressure oil pump. It threw the loop out of the sink. They'll find the issue. Don't worry about it. But at the end of the day, it's likely a sensory issue.

Seems that a LOT of the 170's don't perform as advertised and dealers are getting crushed with them coming back under warranty. Not a good situation here at all.

    Sorry for the issues with your 170 Racer X.. But, thanks for providing the codes and a breakdown of them.. Watching this it just reminds me that ALL these vehicles use a crap ton of redundant grounds.. The fact that you have codes that seam to be unrelated to just oil pressure and and cam timing just screams to me that they all have to be somehow related. If you can find how they are all related it will point you to the root cause and the fix. Sadly, this takes time and experience to diagnose. Unfortunately, the current trend with new vehicles today is to load up the "Parts Cannon" and hope that ya can fix it within three attempts.. if not, buy it back and put the customer in something else. It is sad! I have been out of the industry for a long while now but, in my time I have seen more than my share of vehicles come from the factory with loose or disconnected grounds that raised hell with the ECM and cause the same types of problems you are having with your 170. Just my thought for wat they are worth.. Good luck and hope they sort it out soon!

    I have a feeling it accelerates so hard that your oil pump isn’t able to pick up and pump enough oil. Loss of oil pressure and volume basically. Had that problem with a built Kawasaki years ago. Luckily an aftermarket company came up with a dry sump conversion that solved the problem.

    • @jeffkeni

  • @MichaelSmith-kr9qw
    @MichaelSmith-kr9qw Місяць тому

    If It is a oil pressure related issue, makes me wonder if the oil pump is having a issue under extreme load with oil dissolution. The reason I say this is using High ethanol based fuels one of its drawbacks is the amount of dissolution, and contamination that occurs in the oil therefore requiring more frequent oil changes. On our Racecar we would change our oil every 3 races because we noticed water droplets in the oil from condensation when doing valve lash adjustments we were running Ethanol. With you living in Florida which has higher than normal humidity and the use of E85 I wonder if this is exacerbates the issue and the sensors start adjusting because the oil is getting diluted. What do I know ??? Hopefully they will get to root of the problem Paul....Frustrating as it may be.

  • @artillerybuff2000
    @artillerybuff2000 Місяць тому +1

    Simple quick check would be to temporarily install a mechanical oil pressure guage and check the actual pressure, if normal, try another oil pressure sensor. Hopefully, it is just a sensor or computer glitch. That being said, after watching this and all your other 170 videos, I am SO GLAD I didn't buy one of these. I was set to until the greedy dealer tried to rip me off with ridiculous markups. They look like they are impossible to race consistently, and in drag racing that is essential. I'll just stick to my lowly 1320, it runs like a Swiss watch, super easy to drive, and very consistent; three years now and zero issues. If I get to the point to where I cannot live without a 9 second car I'll just get a Tesla...
