Always shocked when I see people in videos place a bolt and then tighten at high speed with an electric ratchet.

I recently heard about your technique to avoid cross-threading but even then I sometimes somehow manage to end up cross-threading.

Yes this is true. I work with a lot of delicate screws and threads at work and use this method, which is even more important when working with small threads 🙌 And if there is more than one thread then I get all in place about three quarters THEN I start tightening all in star ⭐️ pattern 😇😇😇

I have seen videos recommending inserting & tightening spark plugs by hand to prevent cross threading (thank you, Scotty Kilmer). I have not heard your recommendation for reverse threading screwed joints, thank you for the tip

@@_.-AAA-._ : that’s just laziness and that practice will make more work for them.

Gonna see if the aluminum oil cooler/filter housing aftermarket upgrade allows warranty to stay intact.

@@terrybrown3224 good question! My warranty expired about 100,000 miles ago.

This is true, it’s from heat cycling not so much mechanic incompetence. He should also talk about the roller lifters and oil starvation issues in valve train

Yeah i cant believe the actually issue with these junk parts arent meantioned lol. I replace these at least once a week lol

What year is your jeep?

This was on a 2012 chrysler 200 3.6

​@user-ux9hj4tb9n They used the wrong filter ones longer then the other after 2013 I think.

5w 30 pennzoil platinum not 5w20 in that motor and it will make 400k

I have 3.6 liter engine in 2016 Chrysler 200C AWD I have 48,000 miles, keep watch. I take car to Chrysler dealership for oil changes and I ask for pennzoil synthetic 5-30.

That's exactly what happened to my 2017 JK with 75k, suddenly I got the rocker arm tick and almost on cue the oil cooler started leaking as the plastic housing cracked from heat exposure. Replaced all the rocker arms and went to an all aluminum oil filter and cooler assembly.

@@SurfDweller good 👍 those engines get a lot of hate but those 2 issues are the only common issues I see. Once and awhile you'll have timing issues around 140 to 160k but that's few and far between.

I bought a used PRomaster and heard the ticking. Replaced the lifters immediately before the cams were ruined!

We have a Grand caravan with a 3.6 with 190,000 mi and we just replaced this interior unit with the aluminum dorman unit, And we also replaced all of the rocker arms. Once these units are replaced it's a good engine.

The answer is DO NOT USE 0/20 oil. I run mobil 1 0/40 and change every 3500 miles.

Had to replace oil filter housing, coils for miss fire, thermostat and right now my car is making a tapping noise.

@@A.D.24 still under warranty? That was the first repair on my 2016 Ram 1500 with the Penstar v-6! Lifters had to be replaced, notorious for bad lifters! Luckily it was

Yeah I just bought a aluminum one for my ram 1500

@@vernt4583 Dorman finally catching up with the upgraded aluminum one, nice!

How did it come as a missfire 6cly

Awesome

And it was busted from over torquing past the 25nm as specified from a simple oil change. Can say I’ll be doing it myself for sure from this point forward!

Facts ! And if your having problems with a stock part. it may b best to switch to a higher performance one. if your vehicles ratings will accept it. Just because it fits doesn't mean u should install it. But in this case, an aluminum oil cooler housing will fix the issue. Replacing with another plastic stock cooler hi heat timpitures allow for the problem to reacure. its best to go aluminum, I've found. Haven't had any problems since!

Thanks for sharing

I have a couple questions for you, have the same motor in my ram1500 what’s the heaviest haul & what kind of trailer you have on yours?

Avoid dry starts by turning it over for a couple of seconds with gas depressed.. then start it.

I'm from Michigan and 12° weather should not hurt a vehicle

Mine just went. We recently went from 50s to 5f in Southeastern Pennsylvania a couple of weeks ago. Mine went a couple days after that extreme temperature change. I replaced mine with an all-aluminum housing.

They all fail at some point. They have redesigned the part a few times cause they know it’s a weak point. I think they still suck though

Awesome 👍

Eventually you will. The engineers didn't make it to last.

I love the 3.6 great punch for the money.

mine tiking only at 1000km 11day i own it 😭🤦🏻‍♂️

@@FrostbiteRam what years start to be a better engines 3.6?

@@901atcdo these get the same kind of ticks as the dodges do the lifter / manifold ticks?

​@giggachad5530 these are dual over head cam. The Hemi is not. 2 totally different engines.

Who has the solution for oil drain down? My Town and Country needs one ASAP.

Good to know also looks like Dorman just came out with a all aluminum unit now.

Which is crazy cuz if it doesn’t fix the problem you’re doing it again 🤦‍♂️. How long of a job is it for a back yard mechanic?

@@cbradiospronto8781 Check KZfaq university for the latest repair procedure. The filter is located under the Air Cleaner and Intake Manifold has to be removed. If you’re going to do this job, get the Dorman aluminum housing or you’ll be doing it again when the CHEAP PLASTIC cracks again!!!

Bingo 👊🏻

@@cbradiospronto8781 given you have the right tools I think any backyard mechanic can have it done between 1-3hrs given you don’t break anything

Yeah it happens 🤦‍♂️

Agree

Thanks

Sounds like you need to put the whole aluminum one in I highly doubt you'll have that problem I just did that to a Town and country

With the aluminum body one the only thing you would ever have to replace is the cap now whitch you can also get in aluminum.

Sounds right

Man they are making bank on that job. No wonder they haven’t figured out a proper fix.

Most likely coil packs, every car with coils I've had with a random sputter needed them replaced.

@@gunwhores just an update. I changed the coil packs and all is well. So if you own a v6 pentastar with 118k miles or more and start getting a misfire I'd change plugs and coils together.

Plugs should be replaced every 100k. That’s service interval. Use high quality iridium plugs as well. NGK laser iridium is what I use.

Ok that's some terrible luck what year and model?

May be a poor design but the government shares the blame. Since plastic is light weight manufacturers use it to meet the fuel mileage standards. Stellantis is known for not having the best fuel mileage due to all the Hemis they sell and having to buy credits from Tesla to meet the standards.

I pulled everything apart to find out the e8 socket was needed.

Not necessary, 8 mm 6 point socket also works just fine

Wow good information thanks👍

It's actually the o ring seals and ports beneath the oil cooler/ filter housing(adapter) ..the plastic materials used to manufacture this part start to degrade and the o rings start to harden. Exactly like the hose ports on a plastic radiator..it was probably leaking much longer than you thought..its usually a slow creep down the bellhousing then the wind while driving blows it across the lower undercarriage and an actual drip and puddle never forms.. FYI they now offer a replacement that's 100% metal and has a major increase in reliability..

A lot of foreign car makers use the cartridge style. If built well, they're great for no mess

Awesome

The aluminum version is hard to come by, there’s literally millions of these motors on the road. The OEM plastic will eventually crack and need replacement.

are you sure? i was just at a dealership to get this part because i couldn’t get it anywhere else, they gave me the same one with the plastic…

I think you torque the cap to18 foot lbs. Then mark it with paint so next time you don't use a torque wrench.

Now yes, at the time of this video no.

Yep, if mine fails again, will opt for this BUT will use Mopar seals, gaskets & sensors. I heard Dorman seals not good.

Probably the thermostat

2019- 2021 classic baby

Yeah those are the 3rd generation Pentastars, but unfortunately are only in the Durangos and Jeeps.

tick tick tick tick

@ronaldpeterson5552 not yet I hope it never will tick tick tick 🤷🏿🤦🏿🤣🤣😂😂😂

The 2016 also have the ticks and I keep seeing Chrysler keep getting sued for that tick issue till this day

It could

Nothing to be scared of great engines.

@@appledravianever reuse gaskets. It’s a general rule of thumb for anything

🤣

Its not that bad however dorman now makes a all aluminum one.

@@FrostbiteRam good to know. If it becomes a recurring issue I'll definitely look into the dorman option. Thanks for letting me know about it and for the detailed video on this part.

@@fltommy8261 no problem thanks for stopping by the channel 🍻

Can i ask you a question? Does one failing part that every other manufacturer also has fail, sour your whole vehicle purchase in your mind? Ps just like the Fords we have rocker arm failures pretty common look up pentastar tick. If you have a tick get her fixed asap super cheap now. Wait and camshafts need to be replaced. As fsr as them 2 issues thats pretty much it on these motors...well over millions of these motorz around in its various varieties 3.0 litre and 3.6 litre and generations of which there are 3 and they zre not the same be careful sourcing parts theres changes to the system and locations etc. I consider myself a Hyundai /Kia boy fo you know how many engines Hyundai has blowing up that they are not recalling? Its a lot. Ford has had serious issues with its engines since the late 90s starting with phasers on the 4.6 5.4 6.0 5.0 etc seriously seriously bad issues later in life too on there turbo based units and its associated 3.5. Anyways point being engines are not a problem for Chrysler and never have been. Its always been transmissions and part of that is user never service the fluid or knowing that it needs to be done and frequently as per severe driving maintenance schedule and partly also the compact sizes of various problematic transmissions such as the 41te 42rle 62te etc. Compact design and prone to overheating the fluids over 60,000 miles is pushing it for reliability of the transmission fluid changes and regular maintenance and shit... I put 250,000 on my 13 Journey no problem except for filter adapter and rocker arms. I put so far 170,000 on my 17 Durango again filter housing so far so good. The problem is that nobody maintains there vehicles appropriately anymore and they are not going to be able to make it 150,000 anymore without regular maintenance and severe service schedule which is the way we all use our vehicle snd should be the default maintenance interval on our rides. Good luck take care trade it off right now while market is still hot and shop around for something else that might be a good fit for you :)

There is an aluminum option out there - just Google. I found one on Amazon for $170. Worth the extra money IMO for piece of mind and if you're keeping the car for a while.

@@OneJuanWon yes, make sure Dorman unit.

Dorman makes one. But I think the issue is the O-rings blowing out, so I’m not sure if the aluminum one will actually be more reliable.

Yes, it does you could either leak oil or leak water because of this part will make car over heat

This is just a new twist on "only tighten the filter a 1/4 turn after gasket touches the base" for the spin on filters
