SRT Engineers Chat Session: 13 Jan 2010

[MYSRT8U]

While road racing my 2007 SRT8 Jeep the light for ESP came on about halfway thru my 30 minute run and stayed on until the car cooled down and was restarted. What happened? I did NOT turn off ESP while on the track.

Wow, that's pretty cool. I'm assuming you had taking it a part and were attempting to "rewire it to add more power".

I have 2 Broken cases. It appears that as the front wheels slip it continues to push harder and harder on the case until the fork breaks. We are putting some serious power down and this is now sticking its head out. I figured locking her in Rolls mode at the track will just leave it in a constant position making the failure less likely.
Thanks for the reply
