Many thanks for the kind words. I try to answer as many comments and question that I can....its getting harder and harder as the channel grows. Appreciate the support!

Good morning, I have a 2014 dodge avenger 3.6. The engine started vibrating and the engine light came on. We put a tester under the dash and it read code po520 would that cause the engine to vibrate?

Thank you for your videos they are very helpful.

How far can I run a vehicle with no oil filter bypass.. Found mine broken. Was able to take out some from the shaft. Nearest shop is 30 miles.

@@MotorCityMechanic how do you get the main wiring harness to release on the 3.6 liter dodge ram on the passanger side of engine.

Much appreciated! Always happy to share some knowledge.

+Tim Guezen I have been working with Dorman products to come up with a repair piece for this issue. It still may be awhile however. In the mean time the only repair is replacement of the oil filter housing/cooler assembly. They don't sale the individual pieces. I'm hoping that Dorman changes that. It's been something that I have been after them about for awhile now. Thanks for the comment and make sure to subscribe if you haven't already

I got my test samples into today......will be testing them out over the weekend. I will make a video about it once done. If all goes well.....it will be Nov/Dec before its avail at your local parts store.

I need one of these ASAP. Please contact me at biss12002@yahoo.com

Awesome! Glad that I could help. Thanks for being a subscriber as well.

Thanks Scott. Appreciate you checking out the video and for the kind words. Make sure to subscribe

I have actually done a few videos about that. That bypass valve is my one claim to fame.....after going around and talking to companies, Dorman was the one that agreed that it was needed and we worked together on making it happen. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe.

@@MotorCityMechanic that is cool! However, I found the Dorman part to be just as failure prone. After two failures I opted to install the 2014-present assembly. I have a question related to the Slight extra height of the later cooler. Does the extra height indicate an increased cooling capacity or is it simply due to different supplier?

Your correct. It’s rare that it leaks coolant but it can for sure. I fully agree about it being made of plastic....not my favorite. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

@@MotorCityMechanic mine is leaking coolant seems to be just pouring out from it somwhere through that valley started slowly for a few months but now it just drains the system in seconds and is un-driveable I'm sure it's not getting in the oil though.

I haven't tried to see if it will interchange with the older style. One issue I would see is the obvious.....every time you had the oil changed they would try to install the wrong oil filter. Both versions use a different style of cartridge filter.I have seen that done before by an aftermarket shop and it caused no oil pressure. Luckily it didn't damage the engine. Thanks for finding my channel and watching the video. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already

OK... I perform my own oil changes so that won't be a problem. This link was posted in a thread on Wrangler Forums.. that's how I found your video. I'm sure you'll be receiving many more visitors.. the thread is about a 2014 Jeep that the engine was "blown" and FCA is not honoring the warranty due to the oil filter. I'm assuming it has somthing to do with your findings. Great work here.

+a990dna Thanks.....I will try to see if I can get my hands on both versions to see if anything obvious is different when side to side. Its always cool to hear about links in forum threads.....glad to see that others are sharing the videos. I too would prefer the newer style if its possible.

MotorCity Mechanic i have a 2012 Grand Cherokee 3.6 and i just put new gaskets on the part but two days later it is leaking agin does it mean i need a new part??

I dont think the seals/gaskets were the initial leak.....I believe it was the plastic assembly. I recommend replacing the complete assembly this time and then you shouldnt have any issues. I do have some new assemblies for sale if your interested. Its an option if your interested. If so then email me at david@motorcitymechanic.com. Thanks again for watching and make sure to subscribe

Yeah I did a few videos about the bypass valve. I was the one that contacted Dorman about the item and we worked together and got it rolling and on to the shelves. Actually made a few videos about that. Chrysler finally started to offer it as well in the last few months....a bit late if you ask me. None the less thanks for watching and for the comment.

Its not fun thats for sure but there are other repairs that really suck when compared to that as you mentioned. Thanks for reaching out and for commenting Jay. Make sure to subscribe.

I feel that will be your cause of the leak. If you have around 100k miles on the vehicle it might be the best time to replace the spark plugs while everything is apart.

Many thanks! I will certainly keep the request in mind for future videos. Make sure to subscribe if you havent already.

@@MotorCityMechanic Thanks again, I and my Jeep buddies swapped out the oil cooler/filter housing this past Saturday (7 hours to do the work) and your torque sequence and torque pressure guide helped us BIG TIME. We decided to clamp the coolant hose rather than drain and it worked like a charm. While we were in there, we changed out the spark plugs and PCV as well. 85K, it was nearly time to do it regardless.

BTW, I have been a happy subscriber for months now :-)

@@appleguy1986 Many thanks. I wish youtube would make it obvious who has and how hasnt so that I stop asking people lol.

@@appleguy1986 Glad it worked out and appreciate the update. Sorry about the delay in getting back to you.

On that p06dd code….your going to have to replace the oil pump assembly to get rid of that .

John Perez Goes to show you that quality matters. It’s the reason why I recommend OEM when ever possible. Glad you got it figured out in the end. Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching. Make sure to subscribe

@@michaelreyes8887 The version in the video is the old model....they have revised it a few times since and now its not an issue like it use to be. Thanks for asking Michael.

Your welcome and thanks for commenting.

Thanks! I always appreciate the feedback on the videos

Thats how it always happens for me.....I take the cap off and then get prepared for the sound. Most time nothing happens. Glad to see the part is in stock in stores. Wish I had asked Dorman for some money for the idea lol....lessons learned. Thanks for watching and for following the channel. Appreciate you reaching out as well.

MotorCity Mechanic I'm sure they have made a lot of money off that part. You should have gotten some compensation since you were part of the process and making people aware.

Its my mistake for not asking in the beginning......another life lesson learned....just wish I would stop learning them lol

The part is about $30.00 so dont let them try to sale you on the entire assembly. If you have seen my other videos on the issue you will know that Dorman now makes a repair kit just for that broken bypass valve, part # 917-992. Thanks for watching and for the comment. HAve a great weekend and make sure to subscribe

+Anthony Arevalo Your welcome. Let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

Confirmed today that this was the culprit. It is covered under the power train warranty so no charge or deductible. The part is on back order according to the dealership though and they are having a problem getting it in.

Anthony Arevalo Glad it is covered and will not cost you anything. We both know the vehicle isn't drivable so hopefully they can expedite to so that they can get there hands on one faster.

+Jesse Whaley Double check to make sure nothing like the o-ring on the oil filter cap. Usually the oil will pool up under the intake and run out at back of the engine and down the trans.

I can see both sides.....one saves on metal because it's just the intervals....other has less chance of problems.

I just had one I had to replace yesterday just for this reason. Usually the oil leak level gets high enough that it starts flowing out the rear and on top of the trans. Thanks for watching and make sure to subscribe

Exactly what issue are you having with yours Larry? What repair will you be doing?

Well MCM. I will be replacing this same exact component on my 2013 Chrysler 200 with the same engine 3.6 l Pentastar. As stated in previous comments, I had taken it to my local Dodge dealership and they stated they were going to replace the Oil sending unit which they didn't. Not a bolt touched on top of the engine. They supposedly flushed my cooling system for 300 bucks as well. Guess what, now I have oil in my reservoir again. I have read numerous Chrysler blogs where this is a known problem from Chrysler 3.6 liter in my vehicle and Jeeps due to Chrysler using a stop leak sealant from the factory that deteriorated components from incompatibly while mixing with the coolant OAT or HOAT and the proper fix is to replace the Heater core, Radiator, and Oil cooler with of course numerous engine flushes to remove residue. However, apparently Chrysler won't admit it and create a total recall due to the time and replacement parts. They would be into it for major recall (labor and part costs). Like 2 grand per vehicle. To replace the heater coil it is-pull the dash replace the part-replace the dash. That is like 8 hours on the books itself, I Suspect. Now since I will not take mine back to back to my local incompetent dealership, it is time to replace myself. My heater coil is not clogged up halfway at this time, so I will just replace the cooler unit and flush the crap out of the system and hope for the best. I could use a video on how to replace this oil cooler. Methodical removal to get to it, etc. Do you have any.....or any tricks, shortcuts best practices to get there?

Oh just a P.S. for the incompetence of my local dealership. There was a change in Chrysler coolant from 2012 to 2013. Old (HOAT) =Orange 5yr./100k. New=(OAT) Purple 10yr./150k. Big warning sent to Chrysler dealerships in 2012-Do not mix the two, as it gels up and clogs your coolant system, causing coolant failure and possible engine replacement. Went to buy more coolant at my incompetent local dealership. Parts counter and the guy plopped down 2 gallons of Chrysler 5yr./100k. I said I don't think this is what mine takes. I said mine looks pinkish purple. This is orange. Parts guy said let me go ask the mechanic. Comes back and says mechanic said that this is what your car takes. So, I said well Chrysler mechanic should know best. Took it home and started thinking wait, let me look at my owners manual. Guess what, 2013 calls for 10 yr./150 k. Thank goodness I did not put crap in my car. Needless to say I made my return furious. Brought the warning with me and plopped it down saying what the hell, y'all didn't get this notice or just can't read? They all had the Deer in the headlights look. Told them to post this at eye level and have a come to Jesus meeting with all mechanics, managers, and parts personnel and do not sell THIS 5/100 to anyone with a 2013 or above! Oh I also asked what the hell did y'all put in my car when you flushed it? Matched the part number to 10/150 and it looks pinkish purple at the block temp sensor so, I guess they got lucky. Now, I would not have been so hot if this was the year 2012 thinking maybe they haven't got the notice yet.....but this is 5 years later. Last weekend. WTH? How many cars have they ruined? Again I say, I will not bring my car back there and will buy my parts online OEM MOPAR from now on..

What gets me is that the parts department can pull up exactly what the vehicle takes without asking anyone....guess someone didnt want to try to check in this case.

MotorCity Mechanic Will you have to remove the manifold to replace the oil pressure sensor

Dean Hamilton Morning Dean.....it depends on the vehicle. The rear wheel drive vehicles will have to have both the upper and lower intake manifolds removed. On the front wheel drivers you may not have to. I know for sure that on the minivans I can get it out with out removing anything. I actually did a video on this for the minivan. I feel pretty good that I should be able to do the same on the other front wheel driver vehicles as well

MotorCity Mechanic I'm sorry I should have specified I'm working on a 2013 Jeep Wrangler JKU.

Dean Hamilton Yeah Dean.....you will need to remove both the upper and lower intakes. If your replacing it.....first make sure someone didn't install the wrong style oil filter cartridge. I have seen this a few times so far without checking the obvious.
