After I got my ‘21 Hellcat Redeye back from the dealer after its first service (oil change) I noticed that my supercharger belt is black, not green. Could’ve sworn it was green before, like all Redeye engines have. Yes, I wiped it with a cloth to make sure it was not just a coat of dirt. Doesn’t seem plausible that the dealership would’ve changed it without telling me. Anyone else have an experience like this?

Did you ask them if they changed it?

No, but I will ask them next time I’m in.

Nothing on the repair order ? Then without documentation, the dealer will deny it.
Don't wait, return now and ask.
Maybe the tech wanted a green belt for his buddy and swapped it out ?

They do turn black-ish over time. Although normally not in that amount of time without some miles. And I’d think you’d still see SOME green still there. Does it look like a brand new belt with no hint of green? How many miles on the car?

 

[TXRedEye]

That few miles seems you should be able to make out a PN and brand on it. Would be hard to believe a tech would go through the time/effort to replace without reason.

do you have any pictures of the engine when you first bought the car to reference?

 

[baabootoo]

What if Dodge just changed things on their own? Are they supposed to tell us when they make a corporate decision..............like small rear brake pads?????????

People seem ok with the up charges, why not? My paint cost $395!!!

But SO worth it. SS is an awesome color. (I may be a bit prejudiced)

Black belt green belt , how about tooth belt and throw in a gear drive timing if you want to make sone noise 😏

 

[Unholy707]

Just get a cheap older Nb and put your own green belt and whatever else you want on it and make it faster than a Redeye
