Be careful, I read somewhere that the ZF is extremely sensitive to the fluid and that it has issues with anything outside the exact spec.

 

I believe the ZF and the transfer case both take ATF+4 fluid and If I am not mistaken is synthetic. The differentials are another story
ATF+4 has been the best fluid out there for transmissions for years

haven't heard back from Ripp
but..

Just had my 2011 HEMI trans and transfer case serviced and they were synthetic fluids.

 

Yes ATF+4 is full synthetic

well im over it...been considering this mod...
i just cant justify anywhere over $3K-ish topps...
just not worth it for me personally...
Since I will prob trade up to an SRT8 in a couple years anyway..

Too bad its not less $$ to SC tho, I woulda done it anyway even knowing I'd be parting out in a couple years..and I doubt I can write off the SC on my taxes lol (but I can write off the SRT8 !!)

best of luck to my old friend Ross/RIPP and anyone here who does go forward with it...

maybe in a few years we will meet at a stop light...
that would def be interesting...
a natty 6.4 vs a blown 5.7 ...!

but hopefully its in NJ and not SI, or someone will prob lose a wheel and tire on a pothole before the 1/4 mile marker ( haaahaa)

 

Same here. Would love the power but, a bit pricey! $3k and I'd be all over that thing!

 

Ditto, $5K installed would be do-able even!

 

Yea, supercharging it is great in theory, but trust me it, opens a bag of fun. I sold my Kenny Bell supercharged 2004 Saleen convertible last Spring. It was over 600rwhp and I was constatly working on the next-weakest-link. Thank God it wasn't my daily driver or I would have been bumming rides A LOT. You start innocent enough by adding the s/c. Then you have to feed the beast, so you have to do injectors (yea, did it at the same time). Then you figure out that you need a bigger intercooler. Then you go lean, so you end up re-working the fuel system (upgrade pumps, run larger fuel line, etc.). Then you realize that your clutch set-up wasn't designed for over 500ftlb's of torque...etc. You get the picture. I think the D's do pretty good with the Hypertech (Diablo, whatever) and CAI. If you are going to turn your D into a weekend warrior, go for it. Otherwise, be happy with the decent power and reliability. I may do something with the exhaust, but not sure that will really buy much. I, personally, am going to leave it alone now. Pretty happy...

 

Bloody big horses then :-) More like shires!
