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 RUclips’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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 😂😂
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
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%.
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.
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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

MAN i love hear a car that shifts and driving one.
Need to buy the 15" wheel kit with slicks to get them to hook up .
That sticker on the driveshaft tells me, even if you're having a bad day, you can still wave and say "hi!"😅
10:32. Thats impressive! 👍

2:50 for it to be inflated with no load lol so times that times 50
It is nice to see people enjoying the hell out of this type of cars!
Same thing happened to my 2014 Challenger SRT8 392 6 speed. Twisted the stock driveshaft. DSS 3.5" aluminum driveshaft fixed that.

Convert it to a straight axle rear problem solved

" wide open throttle is sometimes as low as actually 5%"??? That doesnt make any sense..
11:50 “it’s gonna prevent everything in the back of the car from moving around” *cuts to wiggly exhaust*
Honestly idek if thats wall of shame worthy if i built a car strong enough to destroy a drive shaft like that i would be pretty damn proud of it.
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.
4:35 you know its crazy when the drag car needs a LOWER ratio diff
Impressive. Love mopar. A lot of freedom coming out
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.

You got the shaft!
I love how he edits his videos
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.
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!
Demon ain’t easy to launch. You will get it figured out.
Next time remove the fill plug when draining the diff, it will go much smoother
Put a 8hp swap, I think you would be the first. What those transmission can do is amazing
Fire damage looks cool in my opinion. Specially that car!
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.
Are you able to now order demon170 tires? To replace the 2017 demon tires
