Авто/Мото
Just purchased a 2012 pursuit with only 52K miles on it!!! Still working on finding any issues with it, but I love it so far.
make vids on it ill sub pls
How much money?
I didn't know the 5.7 L has lifter/camshaft issues 🤔
@@kmorton54from idling hours,jus dont idle long cuz the engines Really hate it,USE SYNTHETIC oil,
“Knock on wood” knocks on plastic
Probably the best all around and most useful video on these cars that I’ve seen. I just put my deposit down for a 2013 V6 police Charger. Super excited to take it home in a couple weeks!
Thank you! Yeah I would buy another one of these without hesitation. Great cars.
I have the same car. Love it. I'm glad you learned how to LANDSCAPE while filming!
Towman Marty it’s all a learning curve lmao
I have a charger as well, I 100% recommend
LOVIN These! I'm on my 3rd one! The 1st one i listed for sale Sold OVERNIGHT!-the guy who bought it LOVES his too! , the other 2 I decided to hold onto for awhile, tune-up & modify a bit. Plus, they're just plain FUN to drive! I've had a dozen CVPI's & drive one as my daily driver, but these MAY HAVE Ruined me for the CV's!😆
Lol I can see that! I still want another CV, but I'd like to keep my Charger too!
what's up with those acronyms
So chill. Very nice.
Great car and video!
Detroit Axel is a great company to buy from. Good parts for much less. I also had the issue with the wiper nozzles on my caravan.
I have a '12 pursuit with 110k miles. It's been great! I did have to replace the radiator due to a small leak becoming too large to ignore. Did hoses along with it and a new serpentine belt. When the front is off the car, replace the stuff while you're there. New headlights also went in...plastic lenses in the southwest get seriously jacked from UV. Had to figure out why the left rear door had no window nor power lock operation. For some reason, the wiring harness had been disconnect inside the door pillar. Once located and connected, all was well. Car had brand new tires when I got it and man the car just hugs the pavement and is rock solid as you would expect a police suspension to be. Nice video!
Cupholders under the hood, now that's a nice sign of an engineer thinking of mechanics!
Lol I thought they worked great!
Great looking car
New sub here, I have a NYSP charger I bought 2 years ago and at 235k its still my daily driver. It survived 2 unforgiving maine winters.
Awesome! Unfortunately mine has also been through a few rough NY winters too. It handles fairly well in snow!
you have to make more videos on your car i remember seeing your car on the first video glad these things are reliable im just looking to buy one... where did you get yours ?
I bought mine from a private party, actually found it on craigslist and got lucky.
Ayeee-o I live up in western ny also. Got a 2014 Dodge Charger also. Loving it. Almost had it a year now. Any recommendations on tires you get?
Samuel Grando honestly I’ve just been running some cheap eBay all seasons. If I drive it during the winter it’ll get some Firestone Winterforce tires or General Altimax snows.
My pursuit has the Goodyear’s on. Those r your go to’s for most occasions
Badass car man
My 2010 pursuit is great and I’ve got several cool older Mopar cars and trks but really enjoy the charger. 138k miles. Retired cop bought it in 11 wen he retired and fixed everything over a few years then forgot it sitting in his garage until I heard about it. I wanted the original body so the newest one is good and now I want a 2015 or do for the upgraded tech. Great cars
Guys, i too have the same car, but i have done some mods, all cheap and DIY, trust me it looks better than original, even i got an awesome center console from auto wreckers near me, it fits great n its just for 25$. Interior looks really neat. Just get the center console of a wrecked dodge or Chrysler, both fits well, all you need to do is put 4 screws, the screw-holes will automatically match with center console and connect charger cables.
Yes but what did u do about the shifter? Salvaged console just have an open hole where shifter is missing?
I have 2013 police cruiser still got a few things i need to know
I watch a youtube video om air bag light they wiggle the air bag fuse and it cut the light off it also work for me thank for the great advice bro i watch your video b4 i purchased my police interceptor 💪🏿🔥🔥
Ynot TB I’ll try that out, thanks! Congrats on your car!
Thumbs up for engine bay cup holders
I had a 2010 model and a 2012 model both brand new and I live in an extremely hot country where they have a bad reputation. But I had done about 35,000 -40,000 km on both, and neither had given me any issues. They’re very reliable so I will get a new one soon.
Hey man I enjoy your videos! I’m looking at a 2014 Pursuit with the 5.7L with 12k miles on it and the dealer is asking $15,999. Do you think it sounds like a good deal?
Robert Correa go to a police auction. I know it won’t have that low of miles. Though the money you’d save, you could put back into the car. Just a thought
Robert Correa That’s really low mileage. Honestly for that price I’d wonder if you could get a nicely optioned R/T for similar? Still the miles are low and if the car is clean and it’s what you want, no harm no foul!
@@wjye tbh the civilian rt charger is faster then the cop car because of the extra mods.
I dig that color im actually looking to buy one same color but and srt
Your dogs barking woke my dog up lol
lol Sorry about that!
Awesome.
You should add some factory foglights
Why would you cover up that beautiful Hemi engine?
Have a 2012 pursuit v6 amazing car just had to replace alternator was 500 bucks not to bad
I just got a 2016 with 123k miles on it. Hoping for it to last me a while. Maybe even replace a few parts
I bought a 2012 pursuit after watching your first video, I have one issue with the car, I cant get the horn to work for the life of me, I have wires cut in my console, I've referenced the upfitter guide but still cant get the horn to work, was wondering if you've had any similar issue please get back to me! Thank you
Garrett Marchione I have not had that issue, Honestly your best bet would just be to try to trace the wires. Different departments up for their cars differently. More than likely the horn was wired into a siren. Might be difficult to trace. Or you could just try to run wires to the horn and have an auxiliary button to activate it.
Hey I'm from WNY, Hamburg to be exact. How's that thing in the snow? I want to buy one but RWD in Buffalo snow, I'm a little hesitant.
Hey neighbor! If you're familiar with driving RWD cars in the snow, this wont be too much different. I'll say that the electric traction control on this car is phenomenal, never got stuck and even with lots of ice on the pavement it kept me moving forward. The best advice I have is get good snow tires, with decent snow shoes this car would be very good in the snow for a RWD car. Totally manageable.
I just got a persuit model today and live in WNY as well! Hope to see a 6 year update?
Sadly I sold this car to pay for my wedding back in 21’. The final update is on my channel though. I did just purchase another Charger Pursuit that’ll be keep you guys updated on.
I was looking to buy one that had a hundred 16 thousand miles on it so many hours on and I was just wanting to ask your opinion on it but that's okay
It would be hard to give an opinion without seeing the car in person and hearing it run. If your serious about the car and you can test drive it, I'd highly recommend doing that. If your not mechanically inclined, take it to a shop and have it checked out by a trusted mechanic. These are pretty decent cars, but some engines have cam/lifter issues that could be expensive to repair if it happens.
How’re the Detroit axle parts holding up? I recently ordered a brake kit form them. Please let me knwo
Chris L they’ve been on the car over a year and no issues. Have their parts on multiple cars with no issues.
You says it has no problem starting up in the cold winter but how does it handle in the snow?
Septimus Tyrannis Fairly decent for rear wheel drive car. I will strongly advise snow tires. I mean you’re still gonna have to start out a little bit slow, but the traction control system in these cars is great. Get good snow tires and you will have no issues
Buddy that coolant noise you're talking about is simply the throttle body all hemis sound like that
Mr first car 2013 v8 baby
I just bought a 2013 pursuit that had been sittin in impound for over a year. Had to change tires first thing because it shook horribly due to bald tires with belt showing. So my issue now is that its still hard to steer, which i know its either the power steering fluid..the pump..control arms or potentially the rack and pinion. Got it with 157k
I've heard that the electric power steering pump on these cars is notorious for failing, might want to look into that!
@@wjye i have. Started with tires..which helped a lot..but theres still that hard drag when turning sometimes. Currently i looked into and could be..low fluid...fluid replacement...need new pump...control arma or tierods needing replaced..or the whole rack and pinion system. Just dont know how to diagnose ro find what exactly it is
@@trentonosborne39 Is is working now? What was the issue?
Yes
Encouraging 👍
im back years later lol, and ive had mines for about 2 years, what tires did/do you use? and do you have a muffler delete? sounds amazing
I mainly used the Goodyear RSAs as I got a set cheap. As for exhaust it had a Flowmaster system on it with super 40’s. Loved the sound.
@@wjye dam yea I been looking for RSA but they are so priceyyy
@@YoungAmzn I wouldn’t buy them new. The set I got was a takeoff set from a wrecked police car. There’s way better tires for way less money then RSA’s.
Did it come with Bluetooth ?
Where did you get the rubber plugs for roof & trunk?
JC Phill Got them on eBay! They have all different sizes. The ones I’ve got are ABS plastic, they fit tight and don’t leak.
I have a 2013 charger pursuit so the civilian brakes should work on it right?
Anthony M I don’t think so, cop cars do have different size brakes then the civilian cars. Front rotors and pads maybe the same but the rear rotors and pads are larger on the cop cars.
What’s your opinion on a V6 2012 charger? Has 105k miles used to be a cop car
Alex Alex They are good cars and 300 hp from a V-6 is still respectable.
I’m looking at a 2012 black Dodge Charger with 97K miles for $5500. It’s from Westchester NY. It doesn’t say whether it’s a V8 or a V6. Anyways, regardless of the fact, is it a good deal or should I be skeptical about it?
Thank you in advance.
That's not a terrible price at all. Depends on the condition of the car and what your willing to pay. If its a clean car then it might be worth to at least scope it out!
Don’t get the v6. I had the chance to get a 2011 for less than 3500 and walked. I want a v8. But what I didn’t know some pursuit’s are v6 and v8.
@@thatonecrazydudeyaknow285 got my 11 rt pursuit for 3.5k. 200k miles but they’re retired police cars that are made to last ! Just keep up maintenance & it’ll treat you well
Hey I have a question. I found a 2017 Dodge Charger pursuit for $14990. It has 37,000 miles on it and the only thing is that it’s a rebuilt title and the hood doesn’t close all the way in. Is the car still worth buying.
I’d keep looking. Most finance companies won’t give you a loan on a rebuilt car. Not to mention the hood not closing could mean structure damage, yeah pass on that one.
@@wjye Ok, thanks dude. I’ll keep looking.
$15k and the hood don’t close?? Walk away bro. Better yet run away and go hit up fb or the auctions.
Still enjoying it? I am thinking of getting an OSHP charger within the next few months
Zander Plant Absolutely am still enjoying it! Hopefully posting a 3 year 170k mile update soon!
@@wjye Awesome! Looking forward to getting one, I'm located in Youngstown, OH not sure if you're anywhere near that. I have a 2015 FPIU right now
Zander Plant yeah I’m located in Western NY, just a little while away lol good luck in your search!
This video brought to you by Pepsi. lol that can tho.
In all seriousness I'm about to buy another car and I'm seriously considering either getting a Dodge Charger police pursuit or a Chevy Caprice police package I am torn between the two
I would go with the Charger. But be very careful a lot of police chargers can have lifter and camshaft problems due to the excessive amounts of idling. Just something to be aware of.
@@user-us9no7xi6z yes I have heard about this even the Chevy has I believe more severe problems with that very same issue LOL why can't they just make a good V8 I'm going to find one with the lowest mileage possible
Daniel Kundig best thing I can say is do your homework. Some cars have the issues and others don’t.
@@wjye besides high mileage are there any other red flags I should look for when looking
@@wjye I hope you or somebody sees this and is able to answer my question I have not been able to find any straight answer to this despite my research. Does the 2011 and up Dodge Charger police pursuit have a open differential like the civilian models or a limited slip differential???
Where you get your antenna caps? I really wanna get rid of that huge antenna 🤣
I think I just measured the holes and bought the appropriate size plugs off eBay.
Just brought one where did you order the middle console from.
It was in the car when I bought it, it’s just a cheap Walmart console and I don’t like it at all.
I looking in getting a police charge as a second car
Gregory Waller nice! I still love mine!
Should I buy one for my first car or should I go with a used Audi
A4
let us know what the dtc code is for that airbag light, mine is for the driver seat and not sure why besides the entire seat was replaced before i got the car.
nope I’ll hafta get that code read at some point. Honestly that light has been on for a long time and I haven’t bothered with it.
@@wjye My seatbelt buckle light is also on, probably related, and it constantly blocks my evic screen with seatbelt unbuckled so I cant see the digital speed, disabled the ding to fix for now.
nope have you inspected the wiring under the seat?
@@wjye I did to a brief check, even shorted the belt buckle connector, got no change in buckle status, and reaching the wiring enough to inspect all of it was too difficult to do without removing the seat. and since the seat is a lower end mech electric one, i think I will just replace it with the full electric one instead of messing with it, other side already has the full electric seat. I heard dealer has to calibrate something on it though which could be the issue since my seat was already replaced and possibly done third party without calibrating. Some pressure sensor needs calibration for resting state or something. Will possibly go through the oem service manuals procedure for the issue if not lazy, I will post on charger forums as "obsolete" so if you are on there, keep watch.
I just bought one and I’m wondering if I need new tye rods. How can you tell?
There’s a few ways you can tell. The tires will wear unevenly on one side, the car will pull left or right depending on which tie rod is bad, you can jack up the car and with the wheel off the ground try to shake the wheel left to right and if there is a little bit of play that could be a sign of a worn tie rod.
Thank you for your response. I will check it out.
where did you buy the hole plugs????
Just eBay, measure the holes and just purchase the plugs
How do you go about buying police cars ?
Municipal auctions. There’s many different auction places that will auction off police vehicles at the end of their public service life.
Where did u get a center console from?
Its just a cheapo Walmart center console sitting on top of a police mounting plate.
@@wjye is there possibly a part number I could get? Also, any modifications done to get it fitted low like that?
SH00T TH3PUMP part number for the console? The console can be found at any Walmart or auto store. Nothing special. I’d like to get a nicer and better console at some point but this cheapy does the job
SH00T TH3PUMP and no modifications really, it’s screwed into a police console mounting plate so it’s sturdy. I just don’t like the console cause it feels flimsy to me.
@@wjye forsure, thanks for the info!!
Where is a good place to get a used police charger
Check police auctions if your mechanically inclined, or if not there are dealerships that specialize in retired cop cars.
I have the chance to buy one thats throwing cam codes. Guy says he thinks a broken camshaft, should I pull the trigger on it?
It’s probably a lifter problem. They are common on the VVT Hemi engines
I wouldn’t spend more than 7 grand on it.
You switched the wheels out!? The other wheels looked a lot better.
Wayne Scott I just had to change it up a bit.
@@wjye I have seen these chargers quite often at the police surplus auction, mainly the 2013 models. Watching your videos really got me interested in bidding on one, just trying to find the right one that's a V8 and in good shape.
Wayne Scott thank you! I’ve been super impressed with this car, It’s been great and I highly recommend one.
Hello. I’m from Ukraine and I’d like to buy charger to. Is Dodge Charger reliable vehicle? In your opinion. I would buy 3.6 coz custom fee is too much for 5.7 in my country. Some words please.
In my personal opinion I find that the charger is pretty reliable. However it is worth noting that every vehicle is different, and being that you’re in the Ukraine you probably have a very slim picking of what Chargers you can find. If you can thoroughly go through and check the car out, just find the best one you can get.
wjye thanks for answer. I’d like to buy from Copart auction coz I work as a autobody man in Kyiv. I am going to repear it and enjoy my car. Couple questions plz: clearance to small in this car, is it true? . Do u have a problem wіth alternator? What kind a problem do u have with the car? This is my dream to buy a charger. And I collect the money coz if I’ll buy the car for 3000 I’ll pay 7000( custom fee, moving to Ukraine, ets) But I’m going to my dream bro. Good luck to u . All the the best
@@welcomebitch4465 I can’t speak for the 3.6L engine, but the 5.7l is kinda tight and the clearance is a bit close in the engine bay, but it’s not terrible. I don’t know much about the V6 to say what common issues it has, but I hear they’re reliable.
Yall be using the Secure parking?
I litterally use it all the time. Its fantastic in the winter when its freezing, you can leave the car running, lock the doors and run into the store without having to worry and keep the car warm.
@@wjye They patched this in Chicago.
@@BriveAW the patched it? Not sure what you mean.
@@wjye its a joke haha as in you can't do this shit in chicago.
Where u bought the car ?
Tony MTA found on a Craigslist ad, bought from a local cop
Ohio Highway Patrol does that radio thing with their cars.
Sharp eye, this car is indeed a former Ohio Highway Patrol car!
Wow, I need a different hobby 😂
What size tires are you running?
In this video it was stock 225-60-18’s. Later on I switched to 245-55-18 and liked those far better.
@@wjye nice im debating on getting a charger..im a crown vic guy lol
@@eddiesworld8185 Ive had both and I love them both lol

Did u had motor issue
Gregory Waller No, have not had any motor issues with this car.
I just got me one
Good my butt isn't bleeding
I have a question is that radio Bluetooth?
Police 313 in the police model it is not. You can upgrade it though. I think 2015 and new cars do have blue tooth.
Do u kn how
wjye do you know how
Police 313 I do not, but if you hit up some of the Forums or Facebook groups there are people who have done it and can help!
wjye thanks
You said you had no issues at all and then went on to say you had a few issues🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, I caught that after filming. I Really should write a script and learn to edit...lol
Мечтаю о такой машине,и диски идут ей невероятно.
Dodge is notorious for suspension issues. Trucks, cars.
I totally believe in you im interested in buying a Georgia state 🚓 car they have a upgrade suspension rotors brakes bushing you name it they have it which to me is a hell of a deal compared to buying a average charger from the dealer $5800 not a bad deal...thanks for your info good knowledge I'll keep in touch
buy a North Carolina trooper car. They are SUPER nice.
Me too i got a Georgia one too 2012
Do You want to sell it?? it's time for u to get a newer one
Lou mason Idk, I guess I’d consider selling it for the right offer. I do wanna get a 15+ at some point.
15+ you’ll need to buy an unlocked pcm to tune
@@rtownsend744brad That is indeed correct but it can be done.
How much did you pay
I bought it for $7500 back in 2017. They can be found cheaper now though.
@@wjye I am 15 years old but I have a very big heart for these cars but can't find any in Florida and the lowest price one I found is 1500 but it has about 220,000 miles paint were away but I don't have a job I can get one next year hopefully I can save it and get the car idk why I am attracted to theses cars in my opinion they look so good
@@dragooon1055 These are great cars but if this is going to be your first car, you might end up paying a lot for insurance. If you get one with a Hemi insurance will probably be more expensive too.
Get a crown vic
Lmao don't even think about getting anything with a V8 so young. Im 21 and even I know my insurance (under parents) will still be a bit crazy.
It's my dreams car i wish to buy one 😢I wont black one 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓
Can you contact me, I want to talk to you about your car
What exactly can I do for you? Would you like me to send you a PM?
Unfortunately I cant send you a PM, but what can I help you with??
Get rid of that engine cover. The cover traps heat against the intake manifold which robs a little power from the engine
I've heard that before, but I've never noticed a difference with or without the cover. If it does rob power its most likely marginal. I personally like the engine cover. might even paint it lol
Moog is pronounced "mohg", not Moo-g.
Sorry dude, Detroit Axle sells pretty crappy parts. I wouldn't put parts from them on a car I am selling tomorrow.
OSP cars are decent if you get a decent one. 50% of the ones they sell have lifter noise though. I have 3 right this second from OSP that the engines are coming apart due to noise. 1st one is currently apart with 3 bad lifters (roller follower gets sloppy) and one of the lifters ground into 1 lobe of the cam.
The water pumps really don't leak, its the rubber gasket that gets hard and lets go. Sway bar bushings also get pretty sloppy and causes a suspension clunking noise.
Ive had their tie rods on the car for almost a year with no issues. Ran the part numbers and they came back as Mevotech or something similar, either way its a brand I was familiar with. As for this car, its been fantastic. 3 years and over 40k miles and its been perfectly reliable. No odd noises or issues. I think I lucked out and got a good one.
Mo'pars need religious coolant changes
Tim Spiker The car needs a new water pump and it’ll be getting a coolant change too.
I think this guy want to be a cop..idk why you would still want the cop look on a car like that,and keep the CB and all on the inside of the car..I'm just saying.
Cedrick Phillips Much respect to cops, but I have no desire to be one in this day and age. Radio in the car was used for my full time job at the time and amateur radio.
whats your plate number?
