Expert Insight:

Supercharger Technology

The recognizable sound produced by this motor originates from the high-speed rotation of the internal supercharger components.

Mechanical Design: An IHI supercharger is mounted to the top of the engine, reaching speeds up to 14,600 RPM.

Why Buy a 6.2L Hellcat from Us?

You are purchasing a vehicle with over 700 horsepower, which carries more risk when buying from a private seller. High-performance engines are often subjected to aggressive use, and it is difficult to verify if a previous owner followed cooling procedures or used the required synthetic oil.

We inspect the intercooler system and supercharger bearings to verify that the vehicle produces consistent boost. Our team at Ed Martin Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram confirms the mechanical health of every vehicle to ensure you receive the full intended performance.

Certified Pre-Owned Program Search Pre-Owned Inventory

CPO Safety Net

You can find many Hellcat models that meet the standards of our Certified Pre-Owned program.

  • Warranty: Coverage includes the 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty, which protects expensive supercharger and engine parts.
  • Brake Inspection: These vehicles utilize 15.7-inch front rotors. We verify rotor thickness to ensure you are not faced with immediate maintenance costs for these high-performance components.
  • Supercharger Health: Technicians check belt tensioners and bypass valves, which are known wear points on high-output units.

Maintenance Pro-Tips

You can maintain the longevity of your Hellcat by following these suggestions from our service department:

Maintenance Pro-Tips
  • Oil is Critical: You must use 0W-40 Synthetic Oil that meets MS-12633 standards. Incorrect lubricants can lead to bearing failure in the engine or supercharger during high-load situations.
  • Cool Down: Let the car idle for one minute after hard driving. The integrated "Race Cooldown" system will also help protect the intercooler by running the pump after you turn off the engine.
  • Tire Wear: The extreme torque of this motor will wear out rear tires quickly. We suggest selecting tire compounds designed for high-grip performance during Indiana summers.
