    Today we get the Demon started, driven and dyno'd for the first time! It might have taken a few spare Challenger Hellcats for parts (and one Redeye..) but we can OFFICIALLY say we've built the world's first manual Dodge Demon!
    Have a wild Mopar build story of your own? Maybe you've bought a totaled Hellcat or Demon to turn into your dream car? Be sure to tell the story in the comments!

    Don’t sweat it Lee! I worked in the collision repair industry for many years, and was one of the only automotive electricians at just about every shop I have ever worked at! Your “crude diagram” is exactly the way I would have done it! It doesn’t need to be beautiful, it just has to make sense to you!

      That being said, I REALLY HOPE THEY DO IT ANYWAYS. Even if it's just a Durango drivetrain swapped in, that'd be mental lol.

    THANK YOU!!!!! I had the exact same problem with my Crown Vic. No crank. Eventually, I watched my own footage and found that the car would crank with the jumper connected to the bell housing. Not the body, so I found my engine ground strap to be toast.
    I have been looking for a YEAR (maybe more) to find the right size o ring and cable, and just a glance from yours set me down the Mopar path, to a custom ground strap that was identical to mine, down to the exposed copper.
    I just ordered them and I can start my baby. Big win for me too!
