How much was that 4-inch drive shaft that you put in the demon? I have a Scat Pack with a 309 rear diff and I've already broke two or three driveshafts because they're all two piece so it definitely needs a one piece driveshaft and I just can't seem to find one that fits and affordable. It's tricky because i swapped it all to a 2013 charger
Hey Lee, you happen to be looking for a set of seats for a Dodge challenger? I have “Mopar” from a 2019 dodge challenger scatpack shaker if your interested let me know!! I also have the touch screen radio from the same vehicle
I can’t agree anymore! Probably a bunch of haters? Or a lot of people hate on reconstructed/salvage cars. They don’t need UA-cam’s money. They are probably making really good profit on these cars. They have paid alot for some of the cars over the videos, but just suck. You used to be able to steal cars from copart for peanuts. Wish it was still like that but too many people know about copart now.
@@inspectadrift8478ngl you had all this to say yet prolly watched the whole video were here a couple hours after it’s drop and probably watch all they new vids just a d1 hater fr
With that power and weight of the car you MUST pre-load the driveline, get a hydraulic handbrake to hold the car while starting to slip the clutch to get the slack out of the driveline. Then release clutch and handbrake together and you will have waaay less problems with the launches/clutch dumps..
Tesla plaid channel 1000 + passes at low 9's all day and never breaks, Mopar 1 tiny attempt at a burnout down for 2 weeks. That's why 1000hp based on 20k rental car chassis is meant for simpletons. Hey guys MOPAR or NOCar yeeee hawwww. Watch the recent hagerty video of lucid sapphire vs your beloved turdmobile 170 that runs low 9's maybe 1 in 300 tries and will break down sooner than later. This is just the start of the Ev revolution , you can keep you loud whines and crys while you get dusted.
@@Json918tell me you like boys without telling me you like boys. Edit: Also, vroom vroom car noises are sweet, and not having to charge a battery to drive your car is also great.
You need a new sticky tire to help with wheel spin, and perhaps some suspension changes to help transfer the weight to the back wheels. All in all, you have done a great job saving a totaled car from the grave.
Reminds me a bit of a hopped up El Camino from another channel... All sound advice you gave, all I can add is to try relocating things towards the rear and the obvious: get bigger tires. Also, wouldn't a functional wing in the back create some downforce if setup correctly? That alone could make a noticeable difference.
A load of work with precision . Only a dedicated person with an eye for details and unflinching commitment to perfection can even attempt it, and you Matt excel in it...I wish I was younger and join you on all your works . God bless.
Great video. Nice work. The Drag Radial is meant for an Auto. A slick would hook much better and the sidewall will wrinkle on a slick better, absorbing the hit and it will be less likely to snap axles and the driveshaft.
And this is why they were only fitted with an auto trans. The autos in these cars can be programmed to launch the same every time with the least damage on the drivetrain. This is particularly important with applications with hard launches like in a factory drag car.
Well the first an most important part is he upgraded the engine but never upgraded the drive train and axles. You can't just do one and not the other. It works just fine for the stock engine but he's given it a lot more power so it's out of the "intended" power it had to handle.
@@seemssafe2995 They didn't cheap out, it's engineered to meet the power of the stock engine plus some (as they offer an upgrade package that they'll even warranty). Over engineering it would mean they would have to pass the cost on to the buyer and make it more expensive.
why i clicked the video: great a followup on the fire manual demon series Why and when i left: 27:00 it was great seing it break, fixing it and testing the new parts
Put a N2MB wot box in that thing. That'll help you alot on launching and also being able to wot shift it Slipper clutch would be a huge help or the Bangshift Bill digital clutch controller.
I don't know how feasible this would be financially or logistically considering you have a business to run, but I'm thinking the craziest salvage auction visit anyone could ever do would be to fly to Portugal, charter a boat, and explore the wreck of the Felicity Ace.
Lee… I’ve been watching you for a long time and I swear, you must’ve watched a lot of hot Rod TV growing up because the way you narrate your videos exactly like how they did it. Lol
You can pull the Diff bolts on the Mercedes GL without a problem. It's just a ZF part and the dodge guys couldn't fit it differently. Not really bad because normally you wouldn't have to remove the transfer case bolt
Watching this suspension is quite enlightening. looks like it squats vs hammering the tire down. try some hoosier slicks and some traction control settings on the holley. with slicks its okay to spin a little.
I'm pretty sure it will run better quarter mile times with a 4.56 gear in the differential. Add some traction bars/ladder bars, get the hook up better and it will be awesome.
crazy! usually it's hard to damage a car in general no matter what the driver does. Not the dodge demon, hold both pedals at the same time in drive for an instant 6000 dollar bill.
I snapped 3 like that in my 91 Acura Legend, well 2 like that and the other snapped the shaft in half like that, was so confused on how the cages were fine since always figured they would be the weak link 😆 😆I have broken a few cages in those half shafts on that car, but being front wheel drive on mine , one time had the wheel turned and went to pull out and the balls went flying out of the wheel well and across the intersection and broke a windshield on another car , thanks to insurance no money out for me lol
I think that’s a coolant overflow tank. When your coolant gets warm it expands and it needs a place to go. Hopefully you don’t start blowing coolant line now.
I DARE YOU to swap out mufflers for a pair of 3" cherry bomb vortex mufflers. No, not the red glass pack they are known for. The vortex. You will LOVE how they sound. Trust. And they're cheap. They flow more than typical cylinder style mufflers, closer to straight pipe but obviously doesnt beat straight pipe.... But you retain less volume in terms of sound. And the tone is times to drop an octive or two. My 05 sti with the vortex muffler sounded silky smooth. Quiet at idle and decent volume at full throttle. And the tone, dear god it was pure ear orgasm.
You know my first thought was the actual driveshaft breaking and I wasn’t expecting the an axle itself breaking and later it actually happened that the whole driveshaft broke. Fernando got what he wanted as well 😂😂
One of the big things I’ve learned from tuning high horsepower engines like that you have to trick them to make them think that wide open throttle is sometimes as low as actually 5%. Then as your RPMs come up, you slowly bring your throttle percentage until it matches at a point where it’s not gonna shred the tires. From what I’ve seen with hellcats that’s usually around four grand before they can handle all the power. with all that extra power, you’re probably looking somewhere around five or 5500 before those tires and that chassis can handle 100%.
You should take the mechanicals from a track hawk and make an all-wheel drive demon. Even if it ends up looking like an old gasser, it would be sick and fast as hell if it stayed in one piece.
I pulled all the BMR steel bushings out of my rear cradle and went back to rubber. The vibration and the noise have no dampening through steel. Just wasn’t worth it to me. So for those who want to go from rubber to steel, your best bet is middle of the road…..urethane. Only problem is the cradle has to come out so the urethane bushings can be pressed in. Lee should have mentioned what Steel will bring or he didn’t know. Probably why it was chattering off the line, no give.
Why do you dodge guys think everything has to come from some other factory dodge or a newer one or whatever. Why not just put a real set of wheels on it like weld or the like? Quality aftermarket is pretty much always better than oem when it comes to wheels in particular
The 3.09 is going to be harder on everything north of the diff. Plus it actually will make your gear splits closer. Also thank mercedes for the engineering.

Milwaukee makes a really good air compressors, so I would use that over a fantickle or what ever.
That 11 sec hurt. My vert Mustang N/A runs high 11s.... I can't wait to see you guys dial it in.
They have a lot of traction fabbing to go, if they decide to take it there.
thats pretty quick for a vert NA mustang. you must have fbo?

1000hp isn't exactly a ton more. It's a shame dodge cheaped out on those components @@SilvaDreams
Was thinking about just this. You would think the Clutch is the weak point. Nope, its the driveline. Wild

I’m so glad you guys show the real world of racing and all the break downs
Love it! Glad to see Dalt back... thought yall were on the outs

I'm surprised that it works 😂😂

I have a feeling fernando was faster on his lap, shifts looked way better 😂😂😂😂
for real lol
Impressive. Love mopar. A lot of freedom coming out
Need to buy the 15" wheel kit with slicks to get them to hook up .
Lots to learn😁
Enjoy the ride.
I had the same thing happen to me on my t-bird! Sheered off the splines perfectly!
I raised in the 69 to 76 l tell u I'm enjoying your channel wish l would of had this kind of machine's to work with fun fun 🎉
Lee… I’ve been watching you for a long time and I swear, you must’ve watched a lot of hot Rod TV growing up because the way you narrate your videos exactly like how they did it. Lol
I agree with what others are saying. Surprising you don't have way more subs. Always great content and funny. Keep it up! 💪🏼😈💪🏼
MAN i love hear a car that shifts and driving one.
That sticker on the driveshaft tells me, even if you're having a bad day, you can still wave and say "hi!"😅
Man dude that cool you should race it against the ram demon
Dude I am 11 minutes into this video and I had to comment: THIS VIDEO KICKS ASSSS!!
(All your videos do) but this is highly entertaining haha.
Another great video fellas…..
At least you’re making multiple passes 🙌🏻
10:32. Thats impressive! 👍
I be seeing posts on social media about definition of torque in images, that twisted driveshaft is definitely the definition of torque in 4k
So nice to have ready available spare parts!!
You can pull the Diff bolts on the Mercedes GL without a problem.
It's just a ZF part and the dodge guys couldn't fit it differently.
Not really bad because normally you wouldn't have to remove the transfer case bolt
there is not enough people doing what you do on youtube. thanks lee
That tail shaft is a piece of art. And most definitely be on display. 👌
Bro you guys are rockstars. Every single charger part I ordered was immaculate
Nothing like working 12hrs a day n ending it w/ these vids💯
God that looks like such a thrill to drive! Slow or not it sounds insane
4:35 you know its crazy when the drag car needs a LOWER ratio diff
Same thing happened to my 2014 Challenger SRT8 392 6 speed. Twisted the stock driveshaft. DSS 3.5" aluminum driveshaft fixed that.
Watching this suspension is quite enlightening. looks like it squats vs hammering the tire down. try some hoosier slicks and some traction control settings on the holley. with slicks its okay to spin a little.
11:50 “it’s gonna prevent everything in the back of the car from moving around” *cuts to wiggly exhaust*
9:22 thats a nice beat actually😂😂
Would be an absolute dream to own that beautiful machine
I'm pretty sure it will run better quarter mile times with a 4.56 gear in the differential. Add some traction bars/ladder bars, get the hook up better and it will be awesome.
Fire damage looks cool in my opinion. Specially that car!
Favorite UA-cam channel Ong
Hey man I can’t wait to see this channel grow and blow up and if you ever need a hand at the shop I need a job 😂

Good to see her up❤
I think that’s a coolant overflow tank. When your coolant gets warm it expands and it needs a place to go. Hopefully you don’t start blowing coolant line now.
yeah i think he is wrong with his analysis
Simple solution to remove the bit, drill a hole, tread the hole, bolt and out of there
Problem fix, good diff again 👌
That’s exactly what I did!
"4 inches... Looks pretty big to me" 😂
Wow that’s very impressive, never ever I have seen that before
When pushing the car the second time, all I could hear was “we will, we will rock you.” Play it back and listen.

3:09 rear end ratio is a highway rear.Go back to the 3:73. With that rear, you got in it. I'm sure you can go over 200 miles an hour now flat out

When you were pushing it sounded like a steam engine 😂
Its not just a Demon its the first manual Demon and 1k hp. No way it was going to hook with that tire. But it was worth a shot and worth the watch.
