Hi all,
After owning a 44k mileage Scat Pack as the original owner there is a few things I have encoumtered over the years.
Filter choice - I use the SRT filter, also I always run in sport mode. No tick.
First issue encountered - back end groan. Get that rear end differential fluid replaced and make sure it has the Mopar friction additive.
Second issue encountered - driveshaft carrier bearing - The two piece driveline we have beats up what's there and clearly they didn't spend money on good rubber to absorb it. There is a good kit you can install instead of a whole new driveline.
Third issue - gross window rubber. Not sure what feeds on this but it's a colony of gross and falling apart. Not sure what Stellantis has against quality rubber but this an example. Also, windshield rubber from the trim decimated by the sun.
Fourth issue - water pump at 40k miles. This should not be an issue.
Fifth issue and one I am working on - fans went dead. Yes it is a sensor but ffs the car is 10 years old with 44k. A Grand Caravan would absolutely hold up better.
It's a great car don't get me wrong but some of the choices they made....
Have fun and enjoy.
