How to bulletproof your Pentastar engine with Dorman OE FIX solutions 

great video, I agree with almost every one in the comments, an aluminum option for every plastic part on this engine would be great. maybe all the new aluminum pieces can come in a kit.

Thank you... We have 15 PentaStars in the family!

Dorman is a work of art.

Aluminum valve covers please !!

God bless you guys for fixing Chryslers mistakes. I love Dorman.

The engine cooler housing is not what’s failing, it’s the seals. There shouldn’t be seals but gasket instead. The plastic one works just fine and dealers know this. That’s why when you go in for warranty repair the dealer only replaces the seals. The seals fail due to rapid change in temperature during warmup in cold climates. Did you guys stress test in cold climates before you’ve come up with this solution? Call any shop in northern parts of North Dakota and ask them how many of these they replace in the winter.

Now it's sold out until 926-959. What if I need the 926 series?

Do you guys make these parts for the Chevy 3.6 V6.

Will you guys be making aluminum valve covers for the 3.6?

DRY START..That’s what kills the valve train. After engine shut down all the oil returns back to the pan. When left for 1 hour and then restart.. there is no oil in the gallery. The engine starts and no oil for 3 seconds. Repeat this for 100,000 miles and no oil in lifters or push arms. Results in rocker bearing and pin wear in rocker arms then owner is on hook for premature change out of damaged cam, lifter, rocker arms. THANKS CHRYSLER FOR THE EXTRA COSTS OF OWNING HOUR PRODUCT.

Question for the Dodge Durango GT 3.6 how do these parts hold since that engine is HO put.

Jeep must know that the plastic coolant crossover is problematic because the Wrangler comes with an OEM metal crossover from the factory.

So FYI note, 2015 Jeep Wranglers with the 3.6 Pentestar engine and the thermostat housing mentioned here does not work on my specific engine despite the impression on the video. So I called Dorman and the guy on the tech line stated nope it will not work. So now I am stuck with the plastic part still. Which sucks!

Please create the same solution for the Kia/Hyundai 2.4l GKJE engines. So many Kia 2.4L engines throw a rod before they even make it to 75k miles.

Do you have crossover pipe and water outlet (thermostat pipe) for 2012-17 Wrangler that is all aluminum?

When will the 902-3036XD aluminum thermostat housing be available?

Do you guys make the Aluminum thermostat for the Jk Wrangler?

on your website I didnt see ANY of these parts available for 2023 Jeep Gladiator with 3.6l gas engine

Will these parts void the warranty?

What about valve springs? 2014 engine. Gone through two engines due to valve spring breaking and dropping valve into cylinder destroying engine. Will never buy another dodge or chrysler.

The aluminum will eventually crack or warp.

Built proof you say!? Welll we Still need an aluminum upper and lower intake 🙃 ...sooooooooo what ya waiting for dorman 😏 we're waiting ❤ Why ? The lower intake bolts strip from just the slightest over tighten of the bolts. Guys have resulted to larger lag bolts as a fix. But it sucks and a lower aluminum intake would be so worth it to us!!!! We would be like please take our money seriously. If yall just wanna make money and aluminum upper intake would have the v6 pentastar guys grabbing those too. The problem? Plastic sucks and the throttle body bolts strip as well. So hear my campaign!! Chargers, challengers, grand cherokees, 300s, ...we would all love a lower and upper intake aluminum replacement. If only lower, that would be the bigger fix

and what about the rockerrrrs !!

Ya we can all afford this lol

Wish I'd had seen this video several months ago. The plastic parts suck. Very poor design

The engine that comes with the car had to get the Biden seal of approval for gas savings.
