Known issues by generation
While the Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody is a marvel of engineering, it’s important for potential donors to be aware of certain issues typical for this generation. The supercharged Hemi engines are susceptible to pre-failure of the supercharger snout bearing, particularly in high-mileage instances, with rebuilds costing between $2,500 to $4,000. The MDS lifter failures are another concern, so verifying completion of any recalls and performing tick tests is crucial. Paddle-shifted 8HP90 transmissions can experience valve-body wear, affecting shift quality. Ensuring no history of drag-strip abuse and maintaining comprehensive service records will enhance the collector appeal.
