Lifter Tick AGAIN???? I Can’t give a Warranty, Unless… #3.6Pentastar 

Thank you ACD for using my car in another video!!! I'm so honored that you use my car for your videos and so grateful that you take the time to give us (the not so rich guys) a fighting chance. Good mechanics 101...We love you and thank you brother. keep up the awesome work 👍 ❤

You are a hard find in the industry, my friend, I fix my own truck 2006 Silverado 4D Crew Cab with 272k miles. Videos and your knowledge and videos are truly an inspiration. I heard the ticking of the injector loud and clear, my stock oil pump is in the trash, and I have a melling high volume high-pressure pump installed, to me it is the key to the longevity of my engine.

Thanks for walking us through the diagnosis process.

Thanks for being very thorough with your explanation! Your channel gives me the confidence to work on my own vehicle.

I used to work for dodge and this was soo common even with cars with low mileage like less than 30k and fairly new. We were told it was due to a bad batch of parts from factory. Also there’s a tsb that there’s loss of oil pressure due to the oil plugs coming slightly loose ( plugs on cylinder head) also the v6 is known for low oil pressure . Oil pump goes bad quick .

Man what a cool guy. I love when you explain the diagnostic process I think it is very very interesting especially when you demonstrate the tests. I love your attitude and the integrity that you show

Keep up the great work…👍👍

Awesome video, I've always wondered if people realize that our Pentastars need 6 qts of oil not 5. One quart of oil seems like it shouldn't be a big deal but maybe it is.

If people skip through your video they might have missed that snipped about you donating that scrap, but I didn’t. You seem like a stand up guy 💪 Thanks for uploading these videos

This is very reasonable. If the car is hemorrhaging oil then you cannot warranty any parts. Starving the engine of oil means anything can break. Only way I keep my cars running for 200,000 miles before I sell them. Never used a stethoscope - but I have used a long stemmed screwdriver in its place. It works almost as well.

Love these videos. Just wanted to let you guys know I swapped the injector from cylinder 6 to 4 in my 200, because of the intermittent P0306 code I was getting. Just waiting for the code to come back to see if it jumps to 4.

Alex could you tell us the mileage on those pentastar engine rocker failures. It's good to know ok..love your content bro😊

I want to play doctor tonight lol once again excellent job my brother 💪🏿

Thanks Alex.

I've been watching your different videos and there's so much to learn. Awesome videos and very good explanation . I am mechanic myself and done a couple v6 pentastar engine replacing rocker arms & lifters. Got one right now with messed up camshafts and seized 1 valve. Maybe I'll came visit you one day . I'm in houston texas

Thank you, love the content you share.

Also had an injector gone down on me out of nowhere - it was the injector coil, diagnosed by measuring the resistance across injector pins. Should be somewhere in 10s ohm, not Megaohms :D Easy to check and less influence than sticking it into the wire, so preferably one of first to check

Great video Alex 👍

I keep binge watching your videos man keep uploading you the goat bro making me wanna learn to fix up my whip

What an absolute legend, thanks for your videos, keep up the great work

Again lots of Gold here! I have a question on that XJL in the back. I heard those are not the greatest. What was it in for? Do you recommend that Jaguar or would you say stay away also?

hey Alex, just saw your short about abandoned cars at your shop, I just had the local pd clear out my lot, only problem with that is you dont get paid for them, so from now on if it is not a regular trusted customer, I get the title to the car and hold it before doing repairs, this may not work for everyone, but I am 62 and semi retired, dont care if I lose a few, but if the customer bails out at least I have something I can repair and sell, or scrap, it is so hard to get a title here in ohio, I just have to do it that way

I love ur vids Alex ive been an auto tech for just about 10 years now and its awesome seeing good people doing honest work for their customers I salute u sir!

Alex! Love you content! What are your thoughts on a little oil in the spark plug chamber? I assume it’s the spark plug gasket leaking but how important is it to address? Car seems to be running fine and no codes.

Thanks for the great video, glad I found you. Wish you were in Southern CA

How long u warranty these for ?

my dealer told me that they changed 4 bad rockers and it was still ticking and I looked at the valve covers and they never took them off. Still had original RTV sealant and dirt around it. I showed the manager said how did they do it when the valve covers were never taken off. There should be new RTv on a couple spots before the valve cover goes back on. Only 54k on my motor.

Integrity - PRICELESS!! KEEP ON PUSHING!! 🫡✊🏿💯💪🏾🔥💎🙌🏿

" I do wanna play doctor." Lol yall funny. 6th kid coming soon. Love the content keep up the great work man.

Do you think there is a correlation between the oil cooler issue and the lifter failure issue? If the oil cooler is leaking there will be less oil to lubricate the lifters

yea Alex those oil coolers are not a fun job, and seem to leak in a short time, melling has a good reputation, just thinking mayby it got low on oil at some point

Are these 3.6 motors under a recall for the lifters? Atleast you have job security lol.

Alex, that headlight bulb you put in that car 2 years ago caused an electric impulse that slowly made that injector to fail, I hope most people see the humor in that, and see what good mechanics have to deal with, just because your car was repaired last month does not mean that a new problem is the fault of that repair

How would I go about finding a reputable shop in my area that is able to do this repair on my 2015 3.6? I really don’t want to take it in to a dealership as they charge an arm and a leg

Unfortunately, many people don't have any knowledge of mechanical items. "Ever since you changed the ________, my _________ won't work!" Insert anything your imagination can think up!

CEL light. Rough Idle and decreasing MPG and performance. P0302. Number 2 cylinder failed leakdown test. Low compression in #2 cylinder. Dealer replaced cylinder head, camshafts, rockers,lifters, valves and plugs. Oil change. If metal bits in oil filter the problem will return. $2600 at local dealer.

There is a lawsuit currently for this issue. The issue is in the cams and phasers and chains. I do know that doing an automated cam phaser cleaning every few oil changes will help slow down the issue but it is already known and documented on why this specific system fails the way it does.

I’m having this problem on my 2015 300 at 77,000 smh I did everything right oil changes on time and everything and it still happened I’m gonna get this shit fixed and no more mopar for me

Aren't the lifters under the rocker arms

Call me crazy but it still sounds like a tick, it’s almost like a faint clicking noise coming from the oil filter housing. Is that normal?

I replaced the Right Intake camshaft (Bank 1) and lifters/rocker arms. Closed up ran the engine and got a P000C P000D P0018 P0019. Opened valve covers corrected timing marks and still have codes and now driving poorly(No get up and go & don't seem to want to go over 45mph) Should I replace Bank 2 camshafts and OCV/Phasers?

Could you out all your pentastar v6 videos in a playlist?

Hey Alex, do you have a video made on how to bleed a coolant system on a 2015 Dodge Charger SXT?

Great video.

Do you not recommend the 3.6? I have a Chrysler 300 with this v6. No problems so far but it only has 25,000 miles. Should I keep it for the long haul or dump it? I bought it new btw.

💪💪💪💯 good shit Alex

My charger (2015) started at 10K miles and dodge never fixed after several dealerships diagnostics that nothing was wrong. Can you do a full tutorial?

Super Video!

Wait… that’s the V6! I didn’t think they’d have a tick.

did you replace the lifters, or just the followers? definitely lubrication failure.

10:18 *Now I done TOLD YOU!* #Can'tHaveWifeyAroundTheShop

Where are you located?

I love u bro

You should know your the dr

Not easy bread to much liability guaranteed

I wouldn't even get involved in doing that job just not worth the liability

never buy a dodge again

U don’t get parts from the dealer ?🤮. Why are you using a “brand “ of lifters. They should come to the dealership and dealership only.
