HellCop Project Part 1: what to know about buying a retired Dodge Charger Pursuit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- Starting on the new project by just making sure the car is properly maintained and safe to drive. This video is just to answer all the frequent questions about what makes the Pursuit different and what to look for when buying one.
Part 2 coming soon
I am looking at a ‘18 pursuit 5.7 hemi AWD. I had an AWD magnum so I kinda like the quick launch
I got this one and my last one from Chicago Motors. Just have to keep an eye on their website. They get new inventory all the time.
Nice. I just picked up a 16 AWD myself.
I bought a 2016 Pursuit last year. Also made the mistake of not checking the idle hours. 9200 hrs on mine. The dealer put a cam and lifters in it, but 6 months after it ticks all the time and especially when cold. I actually had to install an aftermarket driveshaft hanger. The original tore up, and the only other option was to replace the entire driveshaft! I've pretty much had every problem you described in your video, so I'll definitely be looking forward to part 2.
Sounds about right. After having the same issues on more than one car I figured I could save some people from the same problems. Part 2 is likely gonna cover the basic maintenance and some of the inexpensive things I added to the car. Then I'm gonna try and get some 0-60 times before and after the new pedal commander.
Thank you for the information.
I love seeing pursuits here on youtube- I have a 2018 5.7 awd with 75k miles 12k idle hours and running super strong. Pennzoil FTW
Nice! Any major repairs? Likely the department probably had to change things already before you got it. I use Royal Purple
@@seanchristianii3206 No major repairs, I had to do the CV axles cause they went bad under my ownership. I do also need to do the heater hoses as they seep a little and my exhaust was damaged by the department but that's a good excuse for me to get a catback lol. Nothing too serious and no drivability issues- fun to drive. Royal Purple is good too!
@gamergye sounds like it was well kept or the department already had to do the work. Is the hose you're having an issue with the same as the one I pointed out?
@@seanchristianii3206 yup. both T fittings. Going to order a nice dorman OE fix set.

What did you replace your floorWell lights with ? Also, did your puddle lights work or did you have to reprogram them to work?
Puddle lamps in the front work fine. Relaced them with red led bulbs from superbrightleds and the floor well lights I just covered with red transparent tape
Im actually considering getting one myself
I hope this was helpful then. Tried to cover all the frequent questions we get. Please share to anymore that needs the info
Great and above all Very informative. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge. I was about to close a deal on a 2018 Charger PPV. Upon seeing your video, I asked for the idle hours…Car has 9,600 idle hours. 🤦🏽…
@rooseveltcruz211 glad I could help. One I had was 120k miles 9200 idle hrs when I got it. 2 yrs later it was at 140k miles and 9600 idle hrs and they thought I might need a motor. I got an extended warranty with route66
@@seanchristianii3206 thank you. What light kit/package would you recommend?
@@rooseveltcruz211 depends on your budget and what you need it for. And if you're using it on DOT roads make sure you use a brand that's certified for emergency vehicles. Feniex, HG2, and Whelen are all great options depending on needs and budget.
Good stuff bro! Do I need to get you new badges??!!
New badging just came in. Haven't put em on yet. I just ordered the fob badge and front grill screws. What I would like to see from you is a properly fitted steering where badge or a dash badge though.
Can you get something like this done?

@seanchristianii3206 I inquired but the MOQ is like 200 pieces each, so... me n you would have cool steering wheels haha
@@Kennyoungar wow. Sounds expensive. I'm sure it would sell though
Are you a cop ?
Nope. Armed security, K9 unit. "Hellcop" is just the name of the logo for the Pursuit badging I'm using. Retired Cruisers Club does have a lot of active duty cops though so sometimes you may see cars with blue lights on my channel but this won't be one of them.
Where did you find your hell cop badge? I bought a 2013 FHP V8 last year and I would like to add one for looks.
That’s youre fault with the brakes anybody knows you bring you’re old hardware in lmao
Lol. Yea another lesson learned the hard way. My 1st time doing my own brakes. I was driving the charger when i bought the pads. Then we took the car apart and it didnt fit so we when back with the old pads and the ones they sold me. They litterally typed in Pursuit and knowingly sold me RT pads. Im like, "you literally had 1 job." 😑
I also ordered drilled and slotted rotors. Called the company to make sure they were sending me the right rotors. They "verified fitment," and sure enough, they didn't fit.
How did the other car catch fire
@gofastnys Dodge claims they chanced a fuse and a relay (without my permission). Harness burned up. They never gave me the repair paperwork and the maintenance supervisors won't return my calls. They lied about even having the paperwork done. Have a lawyer dealing with it.
