Hello everyone!
I recently traded my ‘17 R/T for a ‘15 Hellcat challenger. Any suggestions for maintenance tips? I know a lot of guys hate dealerships, but I feel like if all maintenance is done there it would be harder for them to deny any warranty claim. Any help or suggestions would be great. Also I’m in the Pittsburgh area looking for meets. Thanks guys

Welcome. FOLLOW THE MANUAL! Too many people think they know more than engineers that get $90K a year, millions of hours of R&D, and testing! Just don't ask about catch cans, what tires to use, or what oil to use........... 😁

Hello everyone!
I recently traded my ‘17 R/T for a ‘15 Hellcat challenger.

Last March I traded my 2013 R/T for my 2015 Hellcat. I loved my '13 but I've never looked back. 9 months into ownership and the supercharger whine still makes me laugh like an idiot every time!

As for recommendations, bookmark this link just to be aware of some issues with the 2015/16 Hellcat models. The most foremost being the occasional failure of the supercharger's snout bearings.

Hellcat Known Issues

A thread to consolidate what we know so far with issues Hellcat owners have reported: Table of Contents - Supercharger "Bad Bearing" Noise at Idle - Rear Differential Groaning Noise - Charge Air Pump Connector Corrosion - Driveshaft/Drivetrain Weak Link (new to Hellcat) - Fuel Rail Crossover...

Welcome! Definitely RTFM as @baabootoo noted. One thing you might consider is firing the OEM battery before it quits. It turns out the HCs get pretty tempramental with low (but not dead) batteries so it's worth the $$$ to keep that in tip top shape. Beyond that, it's not really more complicated than your R/T so if you were comfortable with working with that, you're probably good here too!

Standard factory warranty should be out on that year, do you have an extended warranty?

Would you be open to get lunch some day?

Sure, spring time is ideal when we can bring the cars out, mine is currently sleeping under the cover.
You will have to check out carcruises.com
The Victory Church cruise just north of Cranberry is pretty good, and Cars & Coffee in Warrendale (1 exit south of Cranberry) is a great time to see exotics and newer stuff.
