    Racer X got a new engine for his Demon 170.

    I suspect there are or will be Demon 170 owners who will be fighting unsuccessfully with Stellantis to get free engine replacements. Racer X's exceptional social media profile is saving his behind in this instance.

    Okay, someone is right here, but both can't be.

    On an unrelated note, I can't stand Racer X.

    The age of the "I bought my Youtube/Instagram/Tik Tok/whatever user number by starting out rich" "celebrities" disgusts me. it's as organic as Astroturf in your basement is "grassroots."

    Hence the term "astroturf" applied to fake "grassroots" organizations or tendencies. No, the vomit you are ladling out as if it is gourmet soup was not demanded by your customers or viewers. it was spewed on the public while they were held down by the thugs in the government, like other gang rapes.

    Racer X got his Demon back from the dealer. They installed the new 6.2 engine in only two days. (Start the video at the 5:50 min. mark).
    To his surprise all of his previous engine settings were retained.

    He has contacted Stellantis to get specific break-in instructions and oil change interval information. As soon as he gets this, he will pass it on.

    I am not a fan either of racer X. For all anyone really knows it may not be his car.

    He said that the owner's manual is vague about the frequency of oil changes. That's one of the reasons why he wants clarification from Stellantis.

    Some how I would not believe the owners manual would be vague... I think it's more about clicks on YouTube!!

    Racer X had his 6.2 engine replaced free while under warranty.

    If he had to pay out-of-pocket, the cost would be $48,000 ($28,000 parts and $20,000 labor).
