Hey Good People,
The Doc is in! You guys know I do the lifter jobs on the Dodge Chargers and other vehicles that have the 3.6 Pentastar engine. Well, I already did the lifters on this LAST YEAR! And it's back in the shop again for a lifter tick....

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.

@AlexTheCarDoctor Жыл бұрын

Wow, thanks for your kind words brother. I love the Melling brand, they haven’t let me down yet.

@kingcity510 11 ай бұрын

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 .

@Buc_Stops_Here Жыл бұрын

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.

not a big deal, 5 will get the level to the the bottom of the range and the engine will run better there , better fuel economy, more power, the crankshaft will spin free, just do not let it go any lower

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

@Mike__P Жыл бұрын

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.

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.

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

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

Hey there and thanks for your support. Oil down in the combustion chamber is only necessary when you’re storing the vehicle for a long period of time and if you’re trying to free a seized engine from sitting a long time. if it’s running fine, I won’t mess with it by the way what type of vehicle is it?
