Dodge Charger 2010 Hemi V8 Battery Cable Nearly Burnt Up My Car Today by Nobody: 11:09pm On Jul 06, 2014
Today's morning after a heavy interior wash and exterior wash on the abandoned Dodge decided to test drive .After about 1/2 hour of driving, close to home the car violently bucked and suddenly quit. Pulled it off the side of the road and I noticed smoke l out of the battery compartment. I grabbed my fire extinguisher and opened the battery compartment lid to find the negative battery wire glowing red hot and the insulation on fire! Put it out
quickly with a shot of extinguisher.

Phew! Awful glad I always carry a fire extinguisher in the car! No damage at all after I hosed off the battery & battery compartment other than a fried battery cable.

Any ideas where to look?

Did you steam wash that car? Water must have done some damages I suppose. You have give it to an experienced person to help u check

No signs ..car works fine so why should a mech work on it
.... But what I think is a maybe a wrong connection or too much power from the alternator
Replaced the cable today both negative and positive with big cables..
And gave it a quick spin but ...no hotness on the battery cable but she's fine nau I guess

If I was you I will keep an eye on that seems like the wire was hosted and the alternator kept charging so wire got .

How does the 3.5L rear wheel drive compared to the regular front wheel Camry Accord on Naija roads.

Does it feel put of place to drive an American full size car
Re: Dodge Charger 2010 Hemi V8 Battery Cable Nearly Burnt Up My Car Today by Nobody: 5:06am On Jul 09, 2014
Lols yh sure its a 6.1L hemi v8
The srt8 specs
Power is Real
Acceleration is Deadly
Speed is Dangerous
When talking about it
Full size body kit looking like a monster
Exhaust system is crazy( setup from eBay)
Its a powerful ride over all
.no problems at all
Rear wheel drive system
With enough power to do burnouts
Donoughts
Even drifts
Rear tyres needs replacement self smiley

I guess we all want to see the MANS car a 6.1L HEMI in Naija is totally unexpected, It takes more than 2 basket sized balls to own that in the land of 4cyl Camry, Accord and Prado

Some say a loose wire could have caused it I thought is was a bad wire that shorted

Can I see a picture of the engine of your charger ? And also I think an upgrade to the 2015 challenger srt hellcat would be nice ? wink

Buddy your car looks nice but this isnt an SRT-8. i KNOW cos i' owned an 06 and a 2010 SRT8. The front grill / bumper is completely diff and seats dont look like that at all. ALL SRT-8 chargers also have the hood scoop / air dam so the engine can breathe better and this car doesnt have one. This looks like the 3.5L SE or the normal 5.7L RT without the badge and scoop but it is DEFINITELY not the 6.1L SRT-8

Unless this is one of those Copart horror show specimens, this is what a 2010 SRT8 supposed to look like.

Guys, there are serious autoists on here, no need for anyone to try to impress anyone.

I have the same respect for the guy that manages to keep his Beetle running as much as I have for the person that drives an NSX.

Funny Nairalanders
If not for the nairaland flood that wiped away my threads am sur e you would have seen of my threads when I had an accident in my charger with My man T-money Tunde
Sometimes back
I thank God for sparing our lifes because it was a horror
Car was scattered and and destroyed . We came out with little bruishes thank God for the safety systems like the airbag
Long story cut shot
That was making it 76 days when I bought her her real colour was Matte black and I got her on Ebay from a young college kid with most modifications installed ,everything shattered in my eyes
I posted the pictures in the thread and was even looking for a body replacement because it was beyond Panel Beating
I got one From abj 1.2M without engine That's this one in the thread I guess itswas formely an se 3.5L
I got A Guy from Abj too
That Lifted My Hemi engine ,tranny and many other stuffs ,including a lot of cables and other things I bough for the conversion
Spent close to 1.7m for the body replacement,parts ,and Labour
Since I had most stuffs in my accidented Challenger
All this was early last year and I bet she runs fine
I was thinking of spending money in modifing it but it was never gonna be like my former love
The seats of the srt8,interior ,body shape and many more
That's why am gonna sell her soon
And purchase the 2013 srt8 early 2015
Been seeing good offers in the usa and auction sites
For the doubting thomas you can ask around the forum I av hooked up with alota nairalanders including Damien he owns a charger Too.

Post several pictures of the engine, that'll clear it right up I think.

Glad to hear that you survived the accident.

Personally I think when you have an SRT8 you really need not be wasting gas racing or displaying speed to anyone (if that was related to the crash).

Huh it wasn't even a race
Having an srt8 doesn't freak me to start racing or stuffs like that
Tho I opt in for races but not on local streets. My Gas is also precious
Will post pix when am less Busy
Busy rounding up some works on my computer tho...
Bye for now
Have a long day ahead

ON A GOOD/SEXY DAY,this is a HUGE JOB for even the BEST shops/garages in the U.S.of A!! For someone to now tell me they wrecked their SRT-8 beyond repair but bought an SXT OR SE body and dropped a 6.1L engine into an engine bay that it wont even bolt into (different motor and transmission mounts........not to mention the brembo big-brake kit, computer system, completely different transmission, half-shafts, wire harnesses , cat-back exhaust and everything else necessary)and had this done by a NON-ASE-CERTIFIED MECHANIC IN................wait for it.................ABUJA It'd cost you more to get this insane conversion done than to buy an ACTUAL SRT-8 and thats taking into consideration that the 06-10s are now even going for under $20k!!! Negro you even said the car was so wrecked you had to get a new shell !! If the wreck was that bad, how in Saddam Hussein's name were you able to salvage ALL your mechanical parts from the SRT-8 ??Or whoever heard of a car that was totalled but still had all mechanical parts in perfect working order ? You were able to get your ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION out of the car but the TRADEMARK SRT-8 SEATS were lost in the accident ?? What happened , the seats caught fire but the engine didnt ?? This JOB would have been a FIRST OF IT'S KIND IN THE WORLD cos the PROFESSIONALS wont even attempt it. I WAS gonna let you quietly fade to black when I called you out for the fake SRT pic but you just couldn't walk away huh Any nigga who believes this fantastic story of yours needs to have his brain replaced with semolina!!!

You have a Dodge Charger. Be proud of it. Some niggas ride the bus, have keke-napeps etcs and they'd kill to be in your shoes. Don't make up bogus shit just to pad your ego on the internet chale'.

YEEZUS! .... lipsrsealed

Readone35L, do post a pic of the engine bay....saw some threads you came on at some point had mention of your SRT dodge Charger.

Even I am beginning to be skeptical with the salvage and conversion post.
