Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
The weather finally co-operated enough to get mine to it's first show of the summer. It sprinkled a few times on the drive there but, nothing that even got the car wet.

Over 100 cars there in spite of the weather, came home with one of the Top 70 awards. They made me sweat though, my name was the second to the last Top 70 called.

I removed the supercharger and intercooler from my SSB SRT6 roadster . . .

This job was more than a little bit outside of my comfort zone but I had the time available and I figured "That's how you learn Mr." I'll be replacing the entire engine wiring harness (you may remember that got chewed up by some hungry rats), installing a beautiful new Rudy made thermal coated intercooler, Needwings tweeked and teflon coated supercharger snout and Needswings wye pipe along with a very very nice "like new" supercharger that I was able to buy from forum member Randy Aderman (THANKS Randy). I'll also be installing the brand new 62mm supercharger pulley that Khang Vo made for me along with a LateModel21 Scatter shield.
Now the real challenge will be to see if I can actually reassemble everything, have no parts left over and have the car actually run! Next on the list is to get the 3.27 WaveTrac rear end installed. Hope to get everything done in time to take it to the fall Dragon GTG.

Later,
Re: What did you do to your Crossfire today?
Heres my newest dilemma, If the dealerships' "Crossfire Expert" is "trained" on these, then one would expect that all of the critical proceedures he would have performed during his "schoolin' ". I was speaking with him about the special tool required to remove the hub to perform a rear wheel bearing replacement on the SRT-6. He said he wasn't aware of a special tool because he had never performed a wheel bearing replacement. I was a bit shocked.

Decided it was time to change the brake fluid. 2004 with 35k miles and probably the original brake fluid. Easy job, takes about an hour. Gave me a chance to be sure I had anti-seize on the wheel hubs and lug bolts.
Also saw that the rear brake pads were getting worn, A half-hour job to replace them while I had the car up on jack stands and the wheels off.

Took her to the local Coffee and Cars. As the only Crossfire she carried the banner held high against a nearly full mall parking lot with everything from new Lamborghinis, an old supercharged Packard Hawk to dune buggies and rough but capable rice rockets. Great mix. Fun morning. Lots of interest in the Crossfire with numerous people commenting they had never seen an SRT6.

I love it when our XF's muddle the auto gene pool! Like yours, mine just gets a lot of interest wherever I go. I love reading others accounts of contacts with other car owners.
