It actually isn't off 100 percent, it's only off 80 percent, what you have to do to make it turn off 100 percent is to take the abs fuse (red fuse) out and then your 100 percent off, then the engine will put down as much possible power to the wheels then you'll really feel it.
Yeaaaa i just figured out this aint the real version too it … all you have to is hold it down for a like 1-3 seconds than esp deactivated light on dash than hear a chime and u good
Look at your build date on the driver side door. If it is older than 04/06 then this will not work for you and you should read up on pulling fuse #17. I have a '2006' RT with a build date of 7/05 and this doesnt work for me either.
You don't have to be moving to do the key trick. When my dad still had is '07 Charger R/T, I tried this: turn and hold the key for *10* seconds (while the car is running of course) and it will disable TC. For those who are having trouble, try this method too.
Wish this worked on mine :(. Have the 3.5 though, and the 15 mph trick works just fine. Would be nice to not have to circle around like a dork before doing the most pathetic burn out ever
I turned off my traction control fully off and now it's stuck on. I'm getting a lot of rear wheel hop and smell something burning from the rear end. What should I do. I have the 2007 3.5 act. Can anyone help me.
wheel hop is really hard on axles..they can break..it's part of why they put traction control, launch control in cars like this. shame Chrysler went away from the simpler, stronger, more efficient leaf spring rear suspension of the muscle car days up through the 80's. although they kept them in trucks till 2008 and gen 1 Durangos. but no wheel hop only in the case of Mopars bc proper design/metallurgy, GM and Ford used either coil springs or substandard leafs. with a Mopar vehicle there never was wheel hop. and they, by way of simple physics, geometry etc, plant/push the axle down..the harder you hit the accelerator, the harder they push down, the more traction benefit. when launching a Mopar hard off the line, the rear of the car would actually go up! along with the front. awesome stuff.
In my 07 srt8 300 if I hold the esp button it just turns the traction back on after holding for a while never shuts off my esp I even tried the turn key method and doesn’t turn it off ,can anyone help ?
I have a 2006 Charger rt daytona lot of mods including torqstorm supercharger. I had been driving 200 or so miles before i got curious about the TC button. I hit and wow feels like a honest 50 hp gain although i could burn the tires with TC on it smokes them now i going leave mine on TC when i start and put around when i want more ill switch it on. I want to save my rear end as it does make a difference in wear tear on rear this it not disabled all the time just when i want it on, next is a n.o.s. kit for the 5.7 and finish my methonal injection. Then i plan on being the fastest car in town 2000 people here racing 1 at a time here so far no race lost but who knows what other beasts remain in garages around here there is always faster thanks for the info here.
Did it the first time and was able to burn my tires out and whip it now when I did it it wasn’t throwing out full power when trying to burn out but also idk if me pushing the esp button then doing the key thing had something to do with it
Heck i just make a left turn and my traction control shuts off and the esp light comes on. Lol. Its the sensor that needs to be replaced on driver side to keep it from doing that. Idk if it actually gives more torque but i am told you lose some braking control should you have to slam them 🤷🏻♂️ ~09’ R/T
When I drive sometimes and I make a left or right turn this will turn on by itself, also they skid control will turn on and slow my car down during turned for a little, is there something wrong with my car?
For me that is fuse 17, it controls the abs and also esp, I don’t see it being problematic if your just drifting in a parking lot but if your doing a circuit on a track trying to slow down for the corners could have some unpleasant consequences because there’s nothing stopping your breaks from locking up the tire. I think cruise control is another fuse but I could be wrong, look it up for your car specifically.
I just tried it, do not do it!! It disables abs, esp, cruise control, speedometer, autostick, transmission won’t gear up, reverse parking sensors don’t work, who knows what else it disables, it drifted very nice after I took it out but there was a strange smell so I immediately popped the fuse back in and everything is back to normal, I’m just going to have to save up $50 and buy the NoEsp switch which only disables esp.
@@BINX-RR I won’t be racing in my car😂😂 But I need to figure out why my cruise control isn’t working. I was told that it was the esp/traction control because both of those lights are on.
@@MarspeedCars our 2014 Journey SXT 3.6L AWD is the same. traction control resets at next restart..not gunna do burnouts with it, bc AWD but it's more fun in slippery conditions. to turn it off? there's a nice lil button, marked with the usual "car and squiggly lines", lol!
I have a question, the ESP BAS light turns on randomly when I am pressing on my break like at a drive thru or stuck in traffic for a while. And yesterday while I was at a red light my car turned off. I thought my car was over heating so I towed it to the mechanic and they told me I have no engine or tranny problems but I got 2 codes C107D & U1408. Would this help or could I have a more serious issue. This mechanic doesnt do electrical work so meanwhile I am waiting I made an appointment to a mechanic that does electrical work
So I tried this when I was going around 15 Mph and the car restarted but it kept driving. The button where my traction control is supposed to be is not there either. Any tips
I just did it and it worked problem is now the codes are erased and I don’t know what the problem is that threw the code now..I would recommend getting the code checked first before doing this
Hell yeah! Worked on my manual 2009 Challenger R/T. Now I can burn those tires till I want to stop, not when the "disabled" ESP wants me to!! Thanks, brother!!!
Okay so, I have a 2008 dodge charger 2.7L, I was going about 20 MPH and I held the key for 3-5 seconds and my car didint chime and my traction control didint go off 🤔!! Help me?
Hi Marsped! I am writing from Poland. You described, how to turn off ESP with older version. I have R/T 5.7 from 2014, and I have keyless system. Is it possible to do this in my version? Thanks for answer :) Wojtek
My car is a Canadian car so we use Celsius and it came like that, not sure if you can change if you have the V6 model but there could be a way if you have EVIC cluster
fun stuff! cautionary/info/history lesson note: wheel hop is really hard on axles..they can break..it's part of why they put traction control, launch control in cars like this. shame Chrysler went away from the simpler, stronger, more efficient leaf spring rear suspension of the muscle car days up through the 80's. although they kept them in trucks till 2008 and gen 1 Durangos. no wheel hop only in the case of Mopars, bc proper design/metallurgy, GM and Ford used either coil springs or substandard leafs out back with lackluster results. with a Mopar vehicle there never was wheel hop and life was good! you never needed a rear wheel alignment, either. the super stock editions were arched more for more of an effect + had extra leafs. top Hi-Po cars, like your 440 and 426 HEMI powered beasts had an extra leaf or leaf and a half on the right side to make torque application to the axle more even, as more of it naturally goes to the right axle. and they..super stock models.. were so robust, no anti-sway bar was even needed, bc roll rate was already at optimum. the leafs were placed so the front section was shorter & thereby stiffer, this was all very carefully engineered stuff, tested and tested and tweaked and tested some more, over many years. they were different on every size and performance level car. not just simple buggy springs, willy nilly tossed under a car or truck, lol. those were excellent handling cars, too btw. do not believe the revisionist historians out there, pooh poo'ing muscle cars driving around actual corners, at yes, high speeds and in a very stable and competent manner, lol..ok, maybe the 'brand x' stuff blew chunks (read were 'lame' to use a modern term), but not Chrysler designed cars of the 60's-80's. i know, bc i've logged many a mile behind the wheel of both mid and full sized Mopes of that era..from 318-440 engines and all sizes in between, through any and all road conditions in Wisconsin. those cars do benefit greatly from modern tires, ofc! Mopar leaf springs by way of simple physics, geometry etc, plant/push the axle down..the harder you hit the accelerator, the harder they push down, the more traction benefit. when launching a Mopar hard off the line, the rear of the car would actually go up! along with the front. awesome stuff. a flat, or de-arched leaf spring makes for a better cornering car, ofc. lower CG. want some proof of all this amazingness? watch vintage drag racing/burnout videos, right here on youtube. see any wheel hop? zilcho :D
GTA 5 pc story mode modded game play so ummmmmyeah Let’s just point out the obvious. U-joints are always going to be a weak link. Take any u-joint with a little bit of “axle” on either end and spin the axle and all is good. Start articulating the axles, and resistance starts to build up. That’s because any deviation from on-axis is basically “forcing” a quadruple hinged joint to follow paths they might not prefer, even if extremely briefly, this off axis torsional force is just begging for parts failure. And it’s not always so easy to just “use heavier duty parts” and call it a day. For one there is rarely space allotted for bigger parts, so obviously we’re going for stronger metals, but at the same time the less malleable the material, the more friction will be generated, and while there are some interesting variations on u-joints, picture it like this: you have a solid rod of steel being driven with torsional force. You cut that rod 1/3 through on one side. Continue to twist. Soon enough that cut will be the weak part where the gap opens up and the rod kinks at the cut. Any twisting rod is fundamentally trying to twist itself apart. Newton’s Third Law-equal and opposite force. Hold one end of a straw and twist the other. Collapses. Now bend it a hair and do that. Collapses more easily. Now take a sphere with four pins sticking out on the same plane and have two yolks each with it’s two forks housing the tips of two of those pins, and the second yolk/pin 90 degrees off. It’s going to be a weak point. So my Dodge Magnum RT has been pulling just u see max trailer weight for 13 years. 2800 lbs. probably 80,000 of it’s 164,000 miles have been pulling that trailer. To prevent tail wagging, the tongue weight needs to be about 250-300lbs. That makes for a drag ass condition in the Magnum. This also drastically changes the geometry of the rear half-shafts and suspension. They are articulating more than they were designed to for a long period of time, much less excessive force for any length of time. Another way to think about it is, if you had a u-joint driven axle approaching 50-90 degrees of articulation, at some point it just wants to SWING the axle, not spin it. So my diff lasted about 145,000 miles like that. I never jabbed the throttle right off the line, to save the drivetrain, BUT, if you were in any kind of slippery road and the car was hitting hard and you lay into the throttle progressively and fully, it would often spin the tires. So I nursed it, but not. Here’s part of the point. I had been complaint about suspension stuff for 13yrs. But I noticed more “compliance” in the back end. Seemed like maybe shocks could be replaced but I had the dealership inspect them (I have a Lifetime Bumper to Bumper Warranty) and they said they were fine. But sometimes, especially wet pavement, if you strayed to spin the tires often times they would hop, and violently enough that it was a startling shock through the rear of the car. Not long after that started happening the diff sounded like it chipped a tooth. Then a couple of weeks later it gave up. That is why they aren’t everywhere. They are a weak link in high torque applications. But independent rear suspension is superior in every other aspect besides the need to align. But even a solid rear axle can be knocked out of thrust angle square. Those U bolts on the leaf springs aren’t welded in. Also a solid axle is inferior in ride quality because the movement of one end causes changes on the other end. A quick move upwards from a bump causes the other end to drop slightly. Camber adjustments aren’t there to be had. But no doubt strong. Just notice that Ford went IRS in their trucks years ago, and do you think they would risk being the worlds best selling truck with such a huge change? Not hardly . Solid axles are only stronger. IRS are superior in every other way. Also my story was about how all signs pointed to a short drivetrain life, and the only reason there grew to be a problem was because the rear cradle was too “compliant” and also prematurely, and allowed the problem to happen. While it was in for repair, I read that wheel hop and IRS don’t last long together. It had been wheelhopping just about 1 month before it failed. Proof that wheelhop is bad, and that solid rear axles are stronger, yet if everything had been taken into account, even my diff would probably still be fine. The Mopar mounting style you mentioned also made for a much rougher ride, and it was more about figuring out where along the leaf of the spring would it not flex enough to snap release into wheel spin or hop. To far back and it starts to wind up and when it reaches too far, it snaps back into shape and allows wheelspin. Too far forward and the leverage effect dwindles and the weight isn’t shifted enough and wheelspin The old Mopars handled well also because of torsion bars. Sorry went off. Solid axles are archaic and crude and should t be used on anything but a work implement. IRS is better ride comfort, better handling, just better. So that’s why
@@andrewhigdon8346 a fine, forensic analysis. however, I've owned many solid axle cars..of the mid and full sizes vintage mopar variety. the ride: amazing. the launch: exellent. the cornering and lack of brake dive..wonderful. they're the exception, ofc..bc they're exceptional. & w.e breaks first, wheel hop is bad..bad for a quick launch, bad for suspension, drive train..hardly inspires confidence and therefore..sucks. lol. ofc now after some yrs of dealing with the problem, the mopar folks have largely done away with wheel hop, at least in the performance SRT cars..the Demon, for example had been tested to the tune of 5,000 launches, back to back..no breakage, no over heating between runs (off topic, woops). anyways, if i could get a challenger with torsion bars up front and a solid axle w/leaf springs rear, as long as geometry/metallurgy were as good as 50 yrs ago, it's the one id get. another exception: Viper. i never noted them to have issues with wheel hop. wish they'd of simply used a slightly modded version of that suspension in the big new cars.
GTA 5 pc story mode modded game play yeah man the Mopar setup was always know to be superior. Torsion bars up front helped a lot. My long winded but unclear point was, solid axles can handle more abuse, IRS rides and handles better. Plus less unstrung weight. But very complex, requires 4 wheel alignment, always a reliability concern. Forgot to tell you I lost count of how many rear driveshaft to pinion yoke bolts. There’s a weak spot. And my left rear spindle broke and I couldn’t tell what was wrong at first, just that it scarped if I turned left at all and was fine when turning right. Hmmm Also had weird sensation that the caliper was holding the wheel upright. Turns out they replaced both sides with steel pieces instead of the original aluminum ones. That tells us something. To back up your point, Ford took forever to go to IRS in the Expedition, Explorer, then the Mustang. They didn’t want broken parts. The only reason Chrysler got IRS on the LX cars is because it was already R&Ded to satisfaction thanks to Mercedes and the whole rear cradle is a steel version of the S Class, so it was supposed to be already sorted. Well done fellow hot rodder. .🤘🤘🤘
@@andrewhigdon8346 Heya. yeah, I get what you're saying about IRS vs solid. i was just pointing out the big Chrysler corp cars, the C bodies had such long leaf springs, ride quality was quite nice. thnx for the long messages, im one of the rare guys on YT that actually will both write and read them, lol..most folks just want to post or read a one sentence comment..soundbite
Sorry bro, but this is partly BS. ON ALL American V8 cars, looking for the he front to the back, the engine is turning counter clockwise, and if you imagine no chassis at all over a solid rear axle, the right rear tire,( passenger rear) would flip around while the driver side rear tire would try to press into the ground. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the rear end were suspended the rear axle would just twirl. Add suspension components to “locate” the rear axle and some stability is added. Add the body to the chassis and you add lots of stability. Regardless, the rear wheels, even on an IRS, are trying to swap sides constantly under acceleration, and from driving position, right rear want to rise, left rear wants to press down. That’s why on an open diff the right rear will always smoke before the left rear, unless the left rear is oiled or when taking a hard left turn. With IRS the effect isn’t as dramatic, as it’s the diff itself trying to flip, since the axles are connected via u-joints or CV joints, so they don’t have the sideways leverage of a solid rear axle. Which is a god thing for stability. As far as suspension set up, it depends on what you want. If you want to save money and apply 1500 ft/lbs to the axle, stick with a solid rear axle and ultra heavy duty diff. If you want a great ride and better stability, use an Independent Rear Suspension. As far as the claims about leaf springs versus coil springs, note that the Chevelle platform used coil springs with trailing arm, and I believe it was a 5- link setup. That set up will ALWAYS be superior for traction compared to a leaf spring suspension. Moving the axle farther forward on the leaves was for one reason and one reason only, which solved one problem but made another. Remember traction bars, or snubbers? What did they do? Remember how they would have a little rubber tip near the end of the traction bar with an adjustable thread under the tip? That was to adjust snubber distance from the leaf springs. The whole idea was to stiffen the leaf spring, indeed also done with adding stiffer leaves to the pack. Another way was to make them “shorter” in the front, but really they just moved the axle forward on the leaves. So the problem with leaf springs is that they “wind up”, which really is a misnomer, but the whole leaf pack flexes into an S shape. From the axle forward, the leaf arches upwards, and from the axle back it arches downward. When so much torque is applied that the leaves cannot hold any longer, they snap back to straight(ish), thus losing traction long enough to allow wheel spin to begin. Wheel hop is caused by almost too much traction, just like pushing your eraser head across the desk, eraser forward of the other end. That skipping is a linear version of the same thing. And is created by flexing and releasing of the leaf spring. IRS systems can do this also, but usually when bushing are getting worn out and compliance is allowed throughout the system. With leaf springs, the power was usually enough and the leaves soft enough that they never really wound up and the tires simply spun with very little grip, as they were trying to lift off the ground anyway. Notice in the movie Bullit, when he misses the turn, stops, and backs up really hard, his left rear tire lights up, but. Is also bouncing. In reverse, your left rear tire is trying to lift, and it’s the same as the other side, but with less weight transfer, with the weight shifting OFF of the drive wheels instead of ONTO the drive wheels. The traction bars could be “tuned” by adjusting the rubber “snubber” closer to the leaf pack, but if it’s too close, it makes for a jarring ride, as the front half of the springs won’t flex as much. This could have been done behind the axle, but it would need to be on top and you wouldn’t be able to see it as easily to keep track of its movement. Leaf springs suck. The modern Ram trucks with coils are far superior to leaf springs, by far. The Chryslers handled better because of the torsion bars up front, not because of leaf springs out back.
Hi Marspeed I have followed your channel a long time. Do you have any idea how to turn off this Traction Control? I have a 2005/2006 Charger Daytona from Canada. ESP button thing doesn't work, that key thing doesn't work, even your door locking tutorials don't work. Can some Chargers have limited computer programs or why I cant edit those your way? Is there anything to to about that, and if then what? My car is also limited to 220km/h. I don't even know how to get rid of that, seeing as even our Dodge re-seller doesn't have a clue. If possible, please let me know if you know something about these problems or have an idea who might. Thanks in advance, Tony
theplacebord for speed you need to get a tuner (like predator or diablo) that will take that off. The ESP stuff doesn’t work on 06s for some reason but google NO ESP MOD and some people have a way to do it on the dodge charger forums
If the light is staying on that means the traction control system isn't working. It's not dangerous in normal weather, but if there is any rain, snow, etc., there will be no traction control available. So yes it could be dangerous in these types of conditions as you could lose control of your car (since TC helps control the stability/traction). I'd just get it looked at/fixed before winter comes.
Marspeed I try to turn off my traction control lights but that trick you showed me wouldn't work when I went up to 15 miles an hour and push the button in all the car did was cut off every time I did it it cut off it don't matter what speed it was at a cut off so do you have any more tips to shutting off traction control
+Dreadlife313 Hey it will go off when you shut the car off, and when you turn it back it should be off. If it's not off after restarting car then it could be an issue with your sensors or something similar (my BAS light would come on every time I made a left turn and stay on for a few days, sensor had an issue - was nothing to do with traction control).
Have a 2006 Dodge Charger r/t regular version not the rt pack but my car was made In 8/05 they key method did not work for me I did some research that the key one will not work before November
awesome tutorial! i got a question. How are your upper ball joints? Apparently my mechanic told me the stock ones are badly manufactured. My mechanic called up the dealer and said that they got a more improved kit. Both pairs for 600$ CAD including labor. I'm saving up do it.
Thanks Mike! $600? That seems like a fair price (but still a lot of course lol). My suspension is okay right now, but last time I changed the tires my rear shocks were leaking, one of the control arms was stuck, and the front tie rods needed to be replaced. But to try and answer your question, yes these cars are definitely notorious for the suspension issues with the stock parts (tie rods inner/outer, ball joints, control arms, etc.) Guess the suspension can't handle the heavy car that well.
A quick Google search says no more than $1000 USD before labor. Looks like I'm doing a susp. swap. Lol. See if that's better than replacing my wheel bearings every 8 months hahaha
What car do you have? Can that SRT upgrade work on the V6 models? I've heard that the SRT susp. is rougher (stiffer ride) and lowers you by 1" (but I would probably wanna go lower than that in the future). Does that SRT susp. break down less? I have had this car for about 40,000 miles and just had to replace all 4 control arms, and bushing up front - to the tune of $1200 installed which is crazy. Plus tie rods and shocks that I did last year. So I do agree the OEM suspension is absolute shit on the V6 models lmao
I've been chatting with some guys on an LX forum. I'll keep you posted. It may be that you just had some bad parts, but it's weird that it's been 7 years before the bad parts actually died. Apparently the SRT parts fit in the back, but not the front, and aren't structurally stronger, but I'm clarifying if the parts used are just better quality overall. I'd have to think so, considering the stiffer ride? So a softer ride (SXT springs) plus the rest of the SRT parts it would make sense things would last a little longer... But Idk. I'll keep you updated. Totally off topic of this video but stuff we've talked about before, I'm looking at getting a Thrush glasspack for now for something cheap and simple but still sounds good. Also looking into maybe getting the Hellcat spoiler installed. I've seen a few videos with that and man.. It's smaller than the 2009 R/T spoiler, but it looks goooooddd. Really subtle change but it adds a lot of character to the rear end of the car. Now I just need some personality on the driver and passenger front doors... I'm not liking how they're just big plain panels, but some do.
Hello! Yes it's a great color :) Unfortunately you can't change the temperature unless you have EVIC -Electronic Vehicle Information Centre (basically a bunch of menus you can see in the dash and control with the steering wheel buttons, like 0-60 times, braking distance, etc.) I'm pretty sure the V6 models don't have it (I could be wrong) but yeah without EVIC you can't change much
Only if you did this specific trick. Otherwise it won't fully turn off like this by itself. If both lights came on by itself it could be a different issue.
Just got a hemi charger that’s chipped and all yesterday and was like fuck it let’s do it was so disappointing I couldn’t get the traction control completely off makes me want to runs back down the road again right now lol but I won’t even with just hitting the button I got it to sit and really get on it just was a lot harder to do this was great video I wouldn’t have even drove and started the car why holing it over so ty
Alright yea it comes on by itself like I turn the car on then take off and once I turn around a corner it turns on but I'll try the trick first. Appreciate for the response
Yeah man the exact same thing happened to me, every time I turned the wheel left that shit came on. It turned out to be some debris/dirt in the sensor. Could be the same for you, or could be a steering wheel sensor issue. Try turning the wheel all the way left and then all the way right in Acc mode, then put the wheel in centre position and then turn on the car. Should shut off that light
@@wilson2787congratulations! Welcome to the Mopar community! I would recommend a cold air intake for the first mod then maybe do exhaust and diablosport tune or something along those lines. Wheels and tires are also a good thing to do.
@@wilson2787 I change my oil every 2 months or 5000miles whichever first and I use ams oil I think they call for the timing chain around 120k miles on the 5.7 I don't know about the 3.5 or the 2.7
Shawn Ellis Thanks a lot. It’s my first V6 and I don’t have anyone here in the US who I can ask for advice. I am new to North Carolina. At the auto shop they put whatever oil they have and I know that a V6 needs a really good oil.
READ THIS, IF YOU HAVE AN 05 OR 06 chrysler 300c with the 5.7 THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK. In the 05 or 06 model you have to start the car and keep the key held in the starting position, you will hear a ding, the airbag light will come on. Keep holding it till the airbag light goes out and then it will come on a second time with another ding. On the second ding release the key and the esp/bas light should be on and you are good to go.
I definitely feel a little quicker, especially accelerating during a turn. My traction control does NOT like when I try to give it gas while turning too hard sometimes. I'm not sure why as I don't understand the shit at all, but I have had problems with it before. When I turn traction control off I can do stuff like that faster, maybe my car is just fucked. I haven't always been so kind to it. 2008 3.5 Driving straight though in normal conditions I noticed a difference but I'm almost sure it's placebo. Regardless, being able to actually squeal your tires is fun.
Jack up the rear end and look to see how the lower is transferred to the wheels and you’ll understand why it hurts so many parts from the trans to the diff to the axles
It actually isn't off 100 percent, it's only off 80 percent, what you have to do to make it turn off 100 percent is to take the abs fuse (red fuse) out and then your 100 percent off, then the engine will put down as much possible power to the wheels then you'll really feel it.
Nah fr tho what fuse bruh I gotta know!
The ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) is connected to Traction Control? Seems almost like you're trolling. That just sounds unsafe haha
my abs is completely out 🤷🏼♀️ so lmk ! as in completely out i mean it doesn’t work and i have to replace it
Don’t do that bruh
Yeaaaa i just figured out this aint the real version too it … all you have to is hold it down for a like 1-3 seconds than esp deactivated light on dash than hear a chime and u good
Can confirm, I have a 2010 Charger R/T and this works!
RIP tires.
Same
When you shut the car off does it all reset to normal? Like can yku do this on the fly
I've tried this and it doesn't work. I have a 2006 Dodge Charger RT and when I do the key turn it doesn't work. Do you know what I can do?
Press and hold the traction control button for more than 5 seconds or until the other light comes on.
Juan Chagolla did you figure it out? I have the same problem and model
@@stephen1805 That doesnt work for my 06 charger RT
Look at your build date on the driver side door. If it is older than 04/06 then this will not work for you and you should read up on pulling fuse #17. I have a '2006' RT with a build date of 7/05 and this doesnt work for me either.
@@MazzifLOL I don't have a plate on my drivers door? There is nothing there, no stickers, nothing.
You can also turn it off by holding down the esp button for 7 seconds after you press it the 1st time while the car is at a complete stop.
Is there a difference between turning the key and holding the ESP button down? Or is it doing the same thing?
And all this time I thought I was sliding around enough. Boy was I ever wrong =D Thanks!
Haha yeah this opened up a whole new world!
You don't have to be moving to do the key trick. When my dad still had is '07 Charger R/T, I tried this: turn and hold the key for *10* seconds (while the car is running of course) and it will disable TC. For those who are having trouble, try this method too.
Wish this worked on mine :(. Have the 3.5 though, and the 15 mph trick works just fine. Would be nice to not have to circle around like a dork before doing the most pathetic burn out ever
Yeah I tried this and i heard my starter grind
Okay.. so how do you turn it back on?
2yrs and still no response to how to turn it back on?!?!?!
Paul Shelley just turn your car off then back on
Literally my question
I turned off my traction control fully off and now it's stuck on. I'm getting a lot of rear wheel hop and smell something burning from the rear end. What should I do. I have the 2007 3.5 act. Can anyone help me.
wheel hop is really hard on axles..they can break..it's part of why they put traction control, launch control in cars like this. shame Chrysler went away from the simpler, stronger, more efficient leaf spring rear suspension of the muscle car days up through the 80's. although they kept them in trucks till 2008 and gen 1 Durangos. but no wheel hop only in the case of Mopars bc proper design/metallurgy, GM and Ford used either coil springs or substandard leafs. with a Mopar vehicle there never was wheel hop. and they, by way of simple physics, geometry etc, plant/push the axle down..the harder you hit the accelerator, the harder they push down, the more traction benefit. when launching a Mopar hard off the line, the rear of the car would actually go up! along with the front. awesome stuff.
Your first mistake was buying a 3.5 🤣🤣🤣 get a rt bro
I have the same problem, did you ever figure out how to turn it back on
so just turn the key to one position?
it wont fry up the starter?
Well my abs and traction and esp light on and i been try to turn the stupid light off and wont go off
Just turned my buddy's 6.1 Hemi into a Monster.
In my 07 srt8 300 if I hold the esp button it just turns the traction back on after holding for a while never shuts off my esp I even tried the turn key method and doesn’t turn it off ,can anyone help ?
Didn’t work on my 08 Dodge Charger SE, the 2.7l
TRILL PRINCY I Have The Same Model, It Doesnt Work
Same here
Is there a difference between turning the key and holding the esp button? Thanks
I have a 2006 Charger rt daytona lot of mods including torqstorm supercharger. I had been driving 200 or so miles before i got curious about the TC button. I hit and wow feels like a honest 50 hp gain although i could burn the tires with TC on it smokes them now i going leave mine on TC when i start and put around when i want more ill switch it on. I want to save my rear end as it does make a difference in wear tear on rear this it not disabled all the time just when i want it on, next is a n.o.s. kit for the 5.7 and finish my methonal injection. Then i plan on being the fastest car in town 2000 people here racing 1 at a time here so far no race lost but who knows what other beasts remain in garages around here there is always faster thanks for the info here.
Did it the first time and was able to burn my tires out and whip it now when I did it it wasn’t throwing out full power when trying to burn out but also idk if me pushing the esp button then doing the key thing had something to do with it
Work on my 2010 300c . I left the gas station cloudy asf 😂
You damn lie
Worked on my 06 Daytona thanks could be the reason I gotta get the rear end rebuilt🥶

When I drive sometimes and I make a left or right turn this will turn on by itself, also they skid control will turn on and slow my car down during turned for a little, is there something wrong with my car?
Did you ever figure out what your car was doing mine is doing this right now
Question: if I pull the abs fuse, can I use cruise control again. The ABS is preventing me from cruise control.
For me that is fuse 17, it controls the abs and also esp, I don’t see it being problematic if your just drifting in a parking lot but if your doing a circuit on a track trying to slow down for the corners could have some unpleasant consequences because there’s nothing stopping your breaks from locking up the tire. I think cruise control is another fuse but I could be wrong, look it up for your car specifically.
I just tried it, do not do it!! It disables abs, esp, cruise control, speedometer, autostick, transmission won’t gear up, reverse parking sensors don’t work, who knows what else it disables, it drifted very nice after I took it out but there was a strange smell so I immediately popped the fuse back in and everything is back to normal, I’m just going to have to save up $50 and buy the NoEsp switch which only disables esp.
@@BINX-RR I won’t be racing in my car😂😂 But I need to figure out why my cruise control isn’t working. I was told that it was the esp/traction control because both of those lights are on.

fun stuff! cautionary/info/history lesson note: wheel hop is really hard on axles..they can break..it's part of why they put traction control, launch control in cars like this. shame Chrysler went away from the simpler, stronger, more efficient leaf spring rear suspension of the muscle car days up through the 80's. although they kept them in trucks till 2008 and gen 1 Durangos. no wheel hop only in the case of Mopars, bc proper design/metallurgy, GM and Ford used either coil springs or substandard leafs out back with lackluster results. with a Mopar vehicle there never was wheel hop and life was good! you never needed a rear wheel alignment, either. the super stock editions were arched more for more of an effect + had extra leafs. top Hi-Po cars, like your 440 and 426 HEMI powered beasts had an extra leaf or leaf and a half on the right side to make torque application to the axle more even, as more of it naturally goes to the right axle. and they..super stock models.. were so robust, no anti-sway bar was even needed, bc roll rate was already at optimum. the leafs were placed so the front section was shorter & thereby stiffer, this was all very carefully engineered stuff, tested and tested and tweaked and tested some more, over many years. they were different on every size and performance level car. not just simple buggy springs, willy nilly tossed under a car or truck, lol. those were excellent handling cars, too btw. do not believe the revisionist historians out there, pooh poo'ing muscle cars driving around actual corners, at yes, high speeds and in a very stable and competent manner, lol..ok, maybe the 'brand x' stuff blew chunks (read were 'lame' to use a modern term), but not Chrysler designed cars of the 60's-80's. i know, bc i've logged many a mile behind the wheel of both mid and full sized Mopes of that era..from 318-440 engines and all sizes in between, through any and all road conditions in Wisconsin. those cars do benefit greatly from modern tires, ofc! Mopar leaf springs by way of simple physics, geometry etc, plant/push the axle down..the harder you hit the accelerator, the harder they push down, the more traction benefit. when launching a Mopar hard off the line, the rear of the car would actually go up! along with the front. awesome stuff. a flat, or de-arched leaf spring makes for a better cornering car, ofc. lower CG. want some proof of all this amazingness? watch vintage drag racing/burnout videos, right here on youtube. see any wheel hop? zilcho :D
GTA 5 pc story mode modded game play so ummmmmyeah Let’s just point out the obvious. U-joints are always going to be a weak link. Take any u-joint with a little bit of “axle” on either end and spin the axle and all is good. Start articulating the axles, and resistance starts to build up. That’s because any deviation from on-axis is basically “forcing” a quadruple hinged joint to follow paths they might not prefer, even if extremely briefly, this off axis torsional force is just begging for parts failure. And it’s not always so easy to just “use heavier duty parts” and call it a day. For one there is rarely space allotted for bigger parts, so obviously we’re going for stronger metals, but at the same time the less malleable the material, the more friction will be generated, and while there are some interesting variations on u-joints, picture it like this: you have a solid rod of steel being driven with torsional force. You cut that rod 1/3 through on one side. Continue to twist. Soon enough that cut will be the weak part where the gap opens up and the rod kinks at the cut. Any twisting rod is fundamentally trying to twist itself apart. Newton’s Third Law-equal and opposite force. Hold one end of a straw and twist the other. Collapses. Now bend it a hair and do that. Collapses more easily. Now take a sphere with four pins sticking out on the same plane and have two yolks each with it’s two forks housing the tips of two of those pins, and the second yolk/pin 90 degrees off. It’s going to be a weak point. So my Dodge Magnum RT has been pulling just u see max trailer weight for 13 years. 2800 lbs. probably 80,000 of it’s 164,000 miles have been pulling that trailer. To prevent tail wagging, the tongue weight needs to be about 250-300lbs. That makes for a drag ass condition in the Magnum. This also drastically changes the geometry of the rear half-shafts and suspension. They are articulating more than they were designed to for a long period of time, much less excessive force for any length of time. Another way to think about it is, if you had a u-joint driven axle approaching 50-90 degrees of articulation, at some point it just wants to SWING the axle, not spin it. So my diff lasted about 145,000 miles like that. I never jabbed the throttle right off the line, to save the drivetrain, BUT, if you were in any kind of slippery road and the car was hitting hard and you lay into the throttle progressively and fully, it would often spin the tires. So I nursed it, but not. Here’s part of the point. I had been complaint about suspension stuff for 13yrs. But I noticed more “compliance” in the back end. Seemed like maybe shocks could be replaced but I had the dealership inspect them (I have a Lifetime Bumper to Bumper Warranty) and they said they were fine. But sometimes, especially wet pavement, if you strayed to spin the tires often times they would hop, and violently enough that it was a startling shock through the rear of the car. Not long after that started happening the diff sounded like it chipped a tooth. Then a couple of weeks later it gave up. That is why they aren’t everywhere. They are a weak link in high torque applications. But independent rear suspension is superior in every other aspect besides the need to align. But even a solid rear axle can be knocked out of thrust angle square. Those U bolts on the leaf springs aren’t welded in. Also a solid axle is inferior in ride quality because the movement of one end causes changes on the other end. A quick move upwards from a bump causes the other end to drop slightly. Camber adjustments aren’t there to be had. But no doubt strong. Just notice that Ford went IRS in their trucks years ago, and do you think they would risk being the worlds best selling truck with such a huge change? Not hardly . Solid axles are only stronger.
IRS are superior in every other way. Also my story was about how all signs pointed to a short drivetrain life, and the only reason there grew to be a problem was because the rear cradle was too “compliant” and also prematurely, and allowed the problem to happen. While it was in for repair, I read that wheel hop and IRS don’t last long together. It had been wheelhopping just about 1 month before it failed. Proof that wheelhop is bad, and that solid rear axles are stronger, yet if everything had been taken into account, even my diff would probably still be fine. The Mopar mounting style you mentioned also made for a much rougher ride, and it was more about figuring out where along the leaf of the spring would it not flex enough to snap release into wheel spin or hop. To far back and it starts to wind up and when it reaches too far, it snaps back into shape and allows wheelspin. Too far forward and the leverage effect dwindles and the weight isn’t shifted enough and wheelspin The old Mopars handled well also because of torsion bars. Sorry went off. Solid axles are archaic and crude and should t be used on anything but a work implement. IRS is better ride comfort, better handling, just better. So that’s why
@@andrewhigdon8346 a fine, forensic analysis. however, I've owned many solid axle cars..of the mid and full sizes vintage mopar variety. the ride: amazing. the launch: exellent. the cornering and lack of brake dive..wonderful. they're the exception, ofc..bc they're exceptional. & w.e breaks first, wheel hop is bad..bad for a quick launch, bad for suspension, drive train..hardly inspires confidence and therefore..sucks. lol. ofc now after some yrs of dealing with the problem, the mopar folks have largely done away with wheel hop, at least in the performance SRT cars..the Demon, for example had been tested to the tune of 5,000 launches, back to back..no breakage, no over heating between runs (off topic, woops). anyways, if i could get a challenger with torsion bars up front and a solid axle w/leaf springs rear, as long as geometry/metallurgy were as good as 50 yrs ago, it's the one id get. another exception: Viper. i never noted them to have issues with wheel hop. wish they'd of simply used a slightly modded version of that suspension in the big new cars.
GTA 5 pc story mode modded game play yeah man the Mopar setup was always know to be superior. Torsion bars up front helped a lot. My long winded but unclear point was, solid axles can handle more abuse, IRS rides and handles better. Plus less unstrung weight. But very complex, requires 4 wheel alignment, always a reliability concern. Forgot to tell you I lost count of how many rear driveshaft to pinion yoke bolts. There’s a weak spot. And my left rear spindle broke and I couldn’t tell what was wrong at first, just that it scarped if I turned left at all and was fine when turning right. Hmmm Also had weird sensation that the caliper was holding the wheel upright. Turns out they replaced both sides with steel pieces instead of the original aluminum ones. That tells us something. To back up your point, Ford took forever to go to IRS in the Expedition, Explorer, then the Mustang. They didn’t want broken parts. The only reason Chrysler got IRS on the LX cars is because it was already R&Ded to satisfaction thanks to Mercedes and the whole rear cradle is a steel version of the S Class, so it was supposed to be already sorted. Well done fellow hot rodder. .🤘🤘🤘
@@andrewhigdon8346 Heya. yeah, I get what you're saying about IRS vs solid. i was just pointing out the big Chrysler corp cars, the C bodies had such long leaf springs, ride quality was quite nice. thnx for the long messages, im one of the rare guys on YT that actually will both write and read them, lol..most folks just want to post or read a one sentence comment..soundbite
Sorry bro, but this is partly BS. ON ALL American V8 cars, looking for the he front to the back, the engine is turning counter clockwise, and if you imagine no chassis at all over a solid rear axle, the right rear tire,( passenger rear) would flip around while the driver side rear tire would try to press into the ground. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If the rear end were suspended the rear axle would just twirl. Add suspension components to “locate” the rear axle and some stability is added. Add the body to the chassis and you add lots of stability. Regardless, the rear wheels, even on an IRS, are trying to swap sides constantly under acceleration, and from driving position, right rear want to rise, left rear wants to press down. That’s why on an open diff the right rear will always smoke before the left rear, unless the left rear is oiled or when taking a hard left turn. With IRS the effect isn’t as dramatic, as it’s the diff itself trying to flip, since the axles are connected via u-joints or CV joints, so they don’t have the sideways leverage of a solid rear axle. Which is a god thing for stability. As far as suspension set up, it depends on what you want. If you want to save money and apply 1500 ft/lbs to the axle, stick with a solid rear axle and ultra heavy duty diff. If you want a great ride and better stability, use an Independent Rear Suspension. As far as the claims about leaf springs versus coil springs, note that the Chevelle platform used coil springs with trailing arm, and I believe it was a 5- link setup. That set up will ALWAYS be superior for traction compared to a leaf spring suspension. Moving the axle farther forward on the leaves was for one reason and one reason only, which solved one problem but made another. Remember traction bars, or snubbers? What did they do? Remember how they would have a little rubber tip near the end of the traction bar with an adjustable thread under the tip? That was to adjust snubber distance from the leaf springs. The whole idea was to stiffen the leaf spring, indeed also done with adding stiffer leaves to the pack. Another way was to make them “shorter” in the front, but really they just moved the axle forward on the leaves. So the problem with leaf springs is that they “wind up”, which really is a misnomer, but the whole leaf pack flexes into an S shape. From the axle forward, the leaf arches upwards, and from the axle back it arches downward. When so much torque is applied that the leaves cannot hold any longer, they snap back to straight(ish), thus losing traction long enough to allow wheel spin to begin. Wheel hop is caused by almost too much traction, just like pushing your eraser head across the desk, eraser forward of the other end. That skipping is a linear version of the same thing. And is created by flexing and releasing of the leaf spring. IRS systems can do this also, but usually when bushing are getting worn out and compliance is allowed throughout the system. With leaf springs, the power was usually enough and the leaves soft enough that they never really wound up and the tires simply spun with very little grip, as they were trying to lift off the ground anyway. Notice in the movie Bullit, when he misses the turn, stops, and backs up really hard, his left rear tire lights up, but. Is also bouncing. In reverse, your left rear tire is trying to lift, and it’s the same as the other side, but with less weight transfer, with the weight shifting OFF of the drive wheels instead of ONTO the drive wheels. The traction bars could be “tuned” by adjusting the rubber “snubber” closer to the leaf pack, but if it’s too close, it makes for a jarring ride, as the front half of the springs won’t flex as much. This could have been done behind the axle, but it would need to be on top and you wouldn’t be able to see it as easily to keep track of its movement. Leaf springs suck. The modern Ram trucks with coils are far superior to leaf springs, by far. The Chryslers handled better because of the torsion bars up front, not because of leaf springs out back.

Hi Marspeed I have followed your channel a long time. Do you have any idea how to turn off this Traction Control? I have a 2005/2006 Charger Daytona from Canada. ESP button thing doesn't work, that key thing doesn't work, even your door locking tutorials don't work. Can some Chargers have limited computer programs or why I cant edit those your way? Is there anything to to about that, and if then what? My car is also limited to 220km/h. I don't even know how to get rid of that, seeing as even our Dodge re-seller doesn't have a clue.
If possible, please let me know if you know something about these problems or have an idea who might.
Thanks in advance, Tony
theplacebord for speed you need to get a tuner (like predator or diablo) that will take that off. The ESP stuff doesn’t work on 06s for some reason but google NO ESP MOD and some people have a way to do it on the dodge charger forums
Marspeed thank you :)
I have a dodge grand caravan 2012 is it dangerous in any way to drive with light on or to disable it? Thanks.
If the light is staying on that means the traction control system isn't working. It's not dangerous in normal weather, but if there is any rain, snow, etc., there will be no traction control available. So yes it could be dangerous in these types of conditions as you could lose control of your car (since TC helps control the stability/traction). I'd just get it looked at/fixed before winter comes.

+Dreadlife313 Hey it will go off when you shut the car off, and when you turn it back it should be off. If it's not off after restarting car then it could be an issue with your sensors or something similar (my BAS light would come on every time I made a left turn and stay on for a few days, sensor had an issue - was nothing to do with traction control).

awesome tutorial! i got a question. How are your upper ball joints? Apparently my mechanic told me the stock ones are badly manufactured. My mechanic called up the dealer and said that they got a more improved kit. Both pairs for 600$ CAD including labor. I'm saving up do it.
Thanks Mike! $600? That seems like a fair price (but still a lot of course lol). My suspension is okay right now, but last time I changed the tires my rear shocks were leaking, one of the control arms was stuck, and the front tie rods needed to be replaced.
But to try and answer your question, yes these cars are definitely notorious for the suspension issues with the stock parts (tie rods inner/outer, ball joints, control arms, etc.) Guess the suspension can't handle the heavy car that well.
I'm curious as to if I'm owning the car for at least three years, if it would be cheaper to do a full SRT suspension swap...
A quick Google search says no more than $1000 USD before labor.
Looks like I'm doing a susp. swap. Lol. See if that's better than replacing my wheel bearings every 8 months hahaha
What car do you have? Can that SRT upgrade work on the V6 models? I've heard that the SRT susp. is rougher (stiffer ride) and lowers you by 1" (but I would probably wanna go lower than that in the future). Does that SRT susp. break down less? I have had this car for about 40,000 miles and just had to replace all 4 control arms, and bushing up front - to the tune of $1200 installed which is crazy. Plus tie rods and shocks that I did last year. So I do agree the OEM suspension is absolute shit on the V6 models lmao
I've been chatting with some guys on an LX forum. I'll keep you posted. It may be that you just had some bad parts, but it's weird that it's been 7 years before the bad parts actually died. Apparently the SRT parts fit in the back, but not the front, and aren't structurally stronger, but I'm clarifying if the parts used are just better quality overall. I'd have to think so, considering the stiffer ride? So a softer ride (SXT springs) plus the rest of the SRT parts it would make sense things would last a little longer... But Idk. I'll keep you updated.
Totally off topic of this video but stuff we've talked about before, I'm looking at getting a Thrush glasspack for now for something cheap and simple but still sounds good. Also looking into maybe getting the Hellcat spoiler installed. I've seen a few videos with that and man.. It's smaller than the 2009 R/T spoiler, but it looks goooooddd. Really subtle change but it adds a lot of character to the rear end of the car. Now I just need some personality on the driver and passenger front doors... I'm not liking how they're just big plain panels, but some do.
Hello my friend
I have 2008 charger se from canada and it's the same color :D

Unfortunately you can't change the temperature unless you have EVIC -Electronic Vehicle Information Centre (basically a bunch of menus you can see in the dash and control with the steering wheel buttons, like 0-60 times, braking distance, etc.) I'm pretty sure the V6 models don't have it (I could be wrong) but yeah without EVIC you can't change much

I just turned the key like this for a few seconds while in park and it turned mine back on
The key trick doesn't work on my car
How do I stop my car from auto shifting
Need a tuner for that (I’m assuming you mean when in auto stick mode)
So when those two lights are on, it means traction control is off?
Only if you did this specific trick. Otherwise it won't fully turn off like this by itself. If both lights came on by itself it could be a different issue.
Just got a hemi charger that’s chipped and all yesterday and was like fuck it let’s do it was so disappointing I couldn’t get the traction control completely off makes me want to runs back down the road again right now lol but I won’t even with just hitting the button I got it to sit and really get on it just was a lot harder to do this was great video I wouldn’t have even drove and started the car why holing it over so ty
Do you know how to do it on a 2014 V6?
So this is 2 years late, but you should be able to do it by trading your shit in for a hemi
@@George-nx4bp 😂😂😂😂😂
He works in a 2012 dodge challenger with intelligent key?
Alright yea it comes on by itself like I turn the car on then take off and once I turn around a corner it turns on but I'll try the trick first. Appreciate for the response
Yeah man the exact same thing happened to me, every time I turned the wheel left that shit came on. It turned out to be some debris/dirt in the sensor. Could be the same for you, or could be a steering wheel sensor issue. Try turning the wheel all the way left and then all the way right in Acc mode, then put the wheel in centre position and then turn on the car. Should shut off that light
Mate, I have the same problem with my charger 2008 r/t. Could you tell me what sensor it was and how you fix it?
Does this work for 2006 Chrysler 300c rwd? 5.7 l
Did you try it? I have the same car and am going to try I later in the rain.
It did not work, I’m just going to buy a NoEsp switch for $50
All it did was turn my airbag light on. I have a 06 charger hemi daytona. Anybody know what im doing wrong?
My light dont even go off i hold stay on after i turn left help lol
Hey how do I open my gas tank on a 2006 charger?

@@miguelchavez6060 i found out last saturday

How do I turn it back on?
Same way you executed 📴
Works on 2010 Challenger
Shawn Ellis i just got my 2010 sxt. Any recommendations? Thanks.
@@wilson2787congratulations! Welcome to the Mopar community! I would recommend a cold air intake for the first mod then maybe do exhaust and diablosport tune or something along those lines. Wheels and tires are also a good thing to do.
Shawn Ellis That’s great. Tell me. What brand of oil do you recommend? How often do you tune up your motor? Replace chain belt? Etc.
@@wilson2787 I change my oil every 2 months or 5000miles whichever first and I use ams oil I think they call for the timing chain around 120k miles on the 5.7 I don't know about the 3.5 or the 2.7
Shawn Ellis Thanks a lot. It’s my first V6 and I don’t have anyone here in the US who I can ask for advice. I am new to North Carolina.
At the auto shop they put whatever oil they have and I know that a V6 needs a really good oil.
Would anybody be able to tell me how to fully disable my traction control for a 2011 challenger v6??? Its like impossible for me to find a answer
Rosaury Alonso get an after market steering wheel and you will see
Buy a Charger
Did you just do a ripper wow guy
Mine doesn’t work like that 2006 se
it doesnt work on my 2007 dodge charger base car, im above 15 mph and nothing happens, any idea?
You sure you're holding the key for a few seconds? And staying above 15 mph while you're doing it? Not sure why it wouldn't be working tbh
Hey bro my basic 2.7 v6 dont got the traction co troll button can I still try it out??
@@BIGGZ010193should work my 08 3.5 V6 doesn’t have the button, trick still works thi
READ THIS, IF YOU HAVE AN 05 OR 06 chrysler 300c with the 5.7 THIS METHOD WILL NOT WORK. In the 05 or 06 model you have to start the car and keep the key held in the starting position, you will hear a ding, the airbag light will come on. Keep holding it till the airbag light goes out and then it will come on a second time with another ding. On the second ding release the key and the esp/bas light should be on and you are good to go.
I tried this and it's not working. Do you keep holding it?
How do i turn it back on lol
I can’t do it ): my 2007 Dodge Charger 3.5 don’t have those lights on
This works in a ram?
Not sure about the Ram, you'd have to try it out and see
Definitely trying this in my 300 lol
Did it work?
@@coogilistic yep!
@@piggy_5.764 what model? it won’t work on my 2006 300c 5.7l V8 hemi RWD but I hear it works on the AWD version for some reason.
Don't work with my 06 srt8. Same with holding the button. I Had to use my tuner .
Fun times ahead
I definitely feel a little quicker, especially accelerating during a turn. My traction control does NOT like when I try to give it gas while turning too hard sometimes. I'm not sure why as I don't understand the shit at all, but I have had problems with it before. When I turn traction control off I can do stuff like that faster, maybe my car is just fucked. I haven't always been so kind to it. 2008 3.5
Driving straight though in normal conditions I noticed a difference but I'm almost sure it's placebo. Regardless, being able to actually squeal your tires is fun.
Mine do the same thing when I try to turn too fast
Jack up the rear end and look to see how the lower is transferred to the wheels and you’ll understand why it hurts so many parts from the trans to the diff to the axles
what If I have a push start?
Take the button out and use the key
I gave 06 charger rt and this didn't work.
I have a 2006 RT , didnt work :-(
did it engage the starter and grind? I have one too and im curious
Bryce Balke no, just didnt do anything
Did you ever figure out how
Works on 08 charger dub edition
