When I dropped mine, I had to shave down the thickness of the wrench I used (belt sander).

Can you link exactly which wrench you got? There are many, some that have a reversing switch (seems no good) and some that pivot as well.

Obviously the one you got fits up in there. Once you've loosened that bolt, does it get trapped up in there?

This is the one I think I want.

Nick was helping my when I put the 3.09's in but I know he had no issue with the bolts. I have gearwrench and I think that is what we used. Could there be a possibility the Chargers have more then the Challengers?

Good to see you back. Leave the Hellcat alone. No tickets issued for riding the nurses hard.

 

[Hickster]

And boy did I ride the EMS people real hard after them showing me paper work of the blood work up they did at one hospital. Accused ME of having cocaine and pot in my system. haven't seen coke since 1972. They said some one slipped me a Mickey. Did I let them have it. One emergancy room, Morton Plant, accused me of having morephine and oxeis in my system. Yes I did and do cause I have been on this medication for 18 years. Didn't tell them that. Then thay wood want the docs name. Called me every thing but a republican. Jack asses. That is why Laurie took my guns. I am still thinking turbos, but why not just buy one already dun up by the factory???

Mine & all the other Challengers I did the swap on had plenty of room for a wrench.

Well another set back to getting back on corn and dealing with one of my favorite substances, antifreeze
For about the last 2 weeks every once in a while when cold there would be a dime size spot of coolant under the car about right under the radiator drain tube but not coming from the tube, (I plugged it with a paper towel plug, it was dry always) So I thought the Petcock may be leaking as it was for sure 100% no doubt engine coolant not blower coolant as the level of the blower tank never changed but the engine coolant tank did drop just a hair. The only connection to the radiator on the passenger side is the top hose and it was dry so I thought petcock as I opened to drain everything when I took the engine out, thought maybe I cracked it. So Thursday I picked up 2 gallons of Mopar 100% coolant and was planning for this morning to put her up take the covers of find and fix the leak and change over to Amsoil 5W50 Signature Synthetic as I’m coming up on 1000 miles since start up so one more oil change and be good till winter storage change. Well on the way home last night gassed up and about a mile from home my favorite street 1/4 pull area was wide open so I came to a stop, set the Gtech and off on a 1/4 blast I went to complete the days data log. Nice pull, 11.7 at 129 let off and during the 4th gear decel rollout to the exit home I hear POOOFFFF and see smoke behind the car, my heart dropped, O F n no I blew it up . Shut her off and coasted off the exit stopped on the berm go out to find coolant pouring out from under her on the PS side FU*K
Called the boy to come get me and returned with tool box, jack, jack stands and 10 gallons of distilled water and prayers it was a hose. Well wasn’t a hose and the water would pour out faster then you could pour it in and couldn’t tell where it was coming from short of knowing it was on the seam between the radiator and Intercooler, no way to patch it.



So 3 hours later was getting dark took lower radiator hose off and plugged it, filled with 2 gallons of distilled, started her up, made sure tank was filled to the rim, was down to 129F, (never got over 215 when she blew) drove her easy but quick the non stop mile home watching coolant and oil temp slowly rising like normal and pulling in the driveway was just hitting 179, pulled in the garage and the Tstat opened and covered the garage floor with a mild purple mix but she was home safe. Took radiator out this am to find this.



F n plastic tank JUNK!!

So I ordered this to replace it with, F those plastic tanks.

400$ for a new stock one shipped, 620 shipped for this bigger and better direct bolt in one, no brainer.

So now change the oil while waiting on Santa to deliver the goods. Drain plug only had a tiny tiny bit of magnetic slime on tip, so all good going on break in wise, a happy moment in the headache

Wonder why the radiator failed. I think I remember hearing of a couple others doing similar on the sides.

Yea, I’ve read some threads about tank failures and a buddy of mine said there was a recall on them, I’ll have to check into that, but still even if free I’m not chancing another, that could have been REAL bad if it blew during the pull and oiled the tires as when it blew it emptied pretty quick, the whole underside of the car was covered, that was fun wiping down but it’s all shinny shinny now lol. Here’s what I walked out to when I stopped, you know first hand what that feeling is like seeing a stream of something coming out from under your car, imagine such after 6 months of toil and 10k later the feeling, be like it happening on your first track outing with your new RE engine!!

 

[Speedy!]

Yeah that would be bad LOL.

 

[coolblue]

Got my magnetic drain plug today! Works perfectly!

 

[Hickster]

Got my plug today,,, lots of thank you. Hope it works,,, but Hope it dosen't. Know what I mean??

Glad you got it home safely & wasn't anything else major.
Do these radiators come out from engine side ? ... or very easy ?
Looks like a good choice on the aluminum rad.
Would like to see that R&R.
