I wasn't having any cylinders misfire, but I did notice a bit of a sluggish nature to the SRT. So I decided to get under and change the fuel filter after 20k miles of ownership and 40k on the ODO. When I bought the car a few years ago the dealer said they changed all the filters, but I just don't have any proof, so I changed it anyways.

It definitely made the care feel better when driving. Though now I think it is about time to change the transmission fluid and hope the shifts get a little better. Between new fluid, blue top solenoids, and paddle shifters it should make for some fun shifting in the near future.

Hope you figure out what happened, do let us know what the final verdict was once all the dust has settled.
