RE: Finally Broke 2nd Gear Loose!!!!
ORIGINAL: 2005 Magnum R/T Hemi
Grand Patron,
Do you drive your Magnum like you stole it, all of the time? If not, your computer may think you want to drive sluggish. See my post about the Magnum having a Mind of it's own... I drive mine hard, very hard! Very few times does traffic get past the Crosswalk before I have completely cleared the intersection... Just last night I was driving home and saw this BMW pulll up next to me after we were at a light... This guy was SO pissed that his BMW got spanked by a Station Wagon (with 5 people in the car), and I got him good, by about 5 Full Magnum Car lengths. Now this was not one of the bitchen BMW's, but I can guarantee he paid more for his car than I did mine... (he was one of those ***** that tricks out their car for looks, I prefer sleepers...) OK, but back to the point. I too was noticing that my Trasmission was shifting sluggish, but I was driving like my Dad. So I started driving like a freaking maniac again, and 'Race Mode' came back. I figure the more ofter you drive it hard, the more often the car will start in 'Race Mode'... And I have never reset the Computer or Disconnected the Battery from Mile 5 (when I got the car)... Let me know what you think!
DodgeMech, any help here???

I haven't run it HARD in a while though. But it does kick *** when I need the power.

Not the same thing, but close happened to me yesterday. I was getting off the HWY and there is two lanes to turn left, just as we were going straight I went WOT at 20 and the rear tires broke loose, I mean like when I drop ther hammer in one of my F-bodies at 20. When it shifted up to the next gear it barked them. It was great!
