Those 4 “knock sensors” that you pointed out in the valley are actually the MDS solenoids 🥲. Just so no one gets confused 👍

Very nice run down of parts, location & even oil change & a bit of safety. Lots of info in a short, compact video. Thanks man.

very good and informative video, surely helps seeing what's involved in such a task, especially since I'm planning on doing power upgrades soon to my 2005 magnum rt. Appreciate your work

On AWD models, the front driveshaft runs through the oil pan, so you need to remove the axles and differential. also, the 4 parts in the engine valley are MDS solenoids, not knock sensors. they shut off 4 cylinders to save fuel under certain engine loads. I actually want to deactivate mine because the exhaust drone when cruising is terrible when the MDS kicks in.

I'm changing my motor in a 2011 grand cherokee, is there anything that have to do after the new motor is in with the electrical, no modifications or do I have to flash as they say the computer?

Great video. Might be using this one day

Thank you so much for this!

Those aren't knock sensors in the valley of the engine under the intake manifold. Those are MDS solenoids. They are what makes the cylinder shut off when driving under normal conditions to save on gas.

good short vid. done with my build motor back in trying to remember how all the wiring harness went in. obvious stuff easy, its the lower sensors few plugs im lost on. have some left over plugs not sure where they go

Do you have videos of rebuilding the motor

Good job.. and great point on safety keeping body out the way..

Nice video bro Thx

Good advice to never put your arm under the motor. I lifted a motor with some pretty beefy but solid tow straps lent to me by a neighbor once while lifting a 500lb Mercedes diesel. I was desperate to lift the motor and adjust the motor mounts so instead of going to the store the next day and getting proper chains I used these. Strap broke and the falling engine would have taken my arm right off had I not moved it a few seconds before.

did you drain the trans fluid?

Great video bro. Do more

Do i need to support the trans

awesome video tutorial, can definitely use this information. thank you.

What are those two metal lines running across the vally under the intake.. mine look pretty rusty

also, those front axles are a notorious PITA to get out. they tend to seize together. I've replaced entire front drive assemblies before because of it.

Which bolts did you remove from transmission bell housing? I'm doing a engine replacement on 14 charger 5.7 hemi can't get transmission bolts lined up

I just got a 2005 Dodge Magnum RT. It is sweet.

That's a good infomation. How many days does it take to change?

Have an 07 AWD and having trouble finding another AWD engine does it really matter if it come out of an AWD or a Rwd car?

in my opinion its way easier to drop the motor and trans as one. lifting the body off.

You can't drop it out the bottom?

yep I like this

I have everything except the front wheel stuff. does anyone know of a good resource for removal of the front gearing to remove the engine completely?

how long did it take you to pull the engine. i have an 06 magnum R/T that needs a new crankshaft from a spun rod bearing and i was needing to know how long it would take to get the motor in the heated garage. its cold outside lol

How did you disconnect the engine mounts? My engine mount bolts keeps spinning and there's no way to access it from the top so I'll have to remove the two side bolts where the mounts split on top! I have a 2006 300c AWD Hemi

do you have a How To for a DoDge 3.5

Great video just one question my mechanic said he replaced my motor with one from 2011 it’s a 5.7 hemi mine was 2007 are the parts going to be the same for tuneups and what not also where do I find the cast number on the block so I know what year the motor came from thanks in advance

Never leave the torque converter connected to the fly wheel

Those engine mounts are very similar to Mercedes, and it also has a front sump oil pan. The Hemi would probably swap well into an older Benz. less fab than the ls swaps

2 things, you removed the transmission and didn't take the torque converter bolts out? You have a lift and didnt drop the whole thing out from bottom? I'm hoping you did it the hard way to just show people who dont have a lift.

If dodge owner are watching a dodge maintenance video. We don’t want to see a ford commercial

nice

So they're not what you say they are those are MDS solenoid

They are not. KNOCK SENSORS THEY ARE CALLED MDS MULTI DISPLACEMENT SOLENOID WHICH SHUTS OF 2 OF THE CYLINDERS ON THE HIGHWAY SO YOU CAN SACE GAS

when I do these, I just drop the whole thing out the bottom.

Is this an awd hemi? If not, is there additional work that must be done?

Do you knoe the reason for that hemi going out?

Did it bother anyone else that he was saying Cadillac convertor?

Hey Rufus I needed me a cole pak. Want trade a cole pak? I got a brain box for a phleetwud broham an a trottle body intake for a box car. Hey yo why yo gots a @6:34 some cadilac converters on yo dodge boy? Dats messed up. Bowtie an be alot cheeper than mopar shit anyway. Here in Houston, them hemi parts hard come by yo know mean?

now put a lsx in it.
