Replying to: hobokid (Mar 22, 2007 5:21 am) Of course, I'm the one that has an issue with the uneven wear on the front rotors/disks. Have you seen this on yours? I'm trying to solve this rather than blindly replacing rotors and pads.

After my engine has reached normal maximum temperature (about 10 minutes?), I noticed that the driver-side exhaust pipe is much hotter than the passenger-side exhaust pipe. Also, there seems to be more exhaust gas from the driver-side pipe. This is consistent with dripping water from the driver-side exhaust pipe (more combustion product) when you first start the engine. Has anyone noticed this on their SRT8s? If so, any ideas of the cause and possible fix (if needed). My dealer seems to think that it is of no concern. They suggested that the pipe lengths are not the same and will dissipate heat differently. That seems a little weak. The Daimler-Jeep representative does not have an answer.

Replying to: hobokid (Mar 29, 2007 2:52 pm) I'm sorry for taking so long to reply. It seems that no one knew the answer to your question. Well, I have the answer! According to Daimler-Chrysler, the rear lights in the lower facia don't work in the United States. They are for Europe! They are left there because it is cheaper to do so and most folks like their looks. Now, I understand that Daimler-Chrysler is working on a fix for my front brake problem (uneven wear, groves in rotor). I hope they solve it before my warranty runs out. The brake dust is annoying but I can live with it if it means best performance. You said that your front rotors are OK. Are you sure? Please check. Look for a phonograph record look and feel the rotor surface with you finger. Let me know. Guertin

Replying to: guertin (Apr 11, 2007 9:33 pm) Also, the exaust does not exit evenly. My dealer does not see this as a problem either because they are connected at the same point of exit from the engine. I have never checked once at full throttle...no one can keep up!!! LOL Even with these little problems, this Black 2007 Jeep SRT8 is still the badest thing on the road. In Europe, these cats don't have a clue about it. I've spanked Audi's, BMW's, VW's,...you name it. All I have to do is hold on...the HEMI does the rest!!  Holla, Butta

Replying to: butta_fab (Apr 11, 2007 11:07 pm) I wish I were in Ger. so that I could open it up on the BAHN. I only took mine up to 120 mph, gotta watch for the men in blue. |

The only info I have available so far, is as follows: Options/Packages: SRT Group I - Pretty much the same as 07 SRT Group II - HID headlamps, heated second row seats, now includes the rear seat video system, automatic leveling lights. Navigation is now Chryslers MyGiG system, 20 gig hardrive, sirius radio, and touch screen nav, all in one. Colors so far will remain, Red Rock, Steel blue, Black, and Silver. No pricing available as of yet. Pretty sure they can be ordered but no word on when you'll actually see them.

Replying to: 06blksrt8 (Jun 21, 2007 5:23 am) I'm sure they'll raise price on these option packages, especially opt 2 as it includes the foresaid video system and new HID lights. Were looking at 47-48 large for fully loaded ones now for sure. |
