still have yet to see ANY videos online of a 3.5L Dodge timing belt replacement in which they show the motor purring like a kitten afterwards. They always seem to have an annoying tick to them that sounds like a timing issue. I've went through 4 sets of lifters, 2 trips to the mechanics, 1 to Dodge and always has the same issue. After spending 2K at the Dodge dealership I was told that the tick is normal. Its NOT normal and they know it. such a rip off. I love my old Dodge Magnum but this 3.5L HO engine has been a nightmare. For the problems I've had with it I probably could have converted it to a hellcat.

I had no abs or stabilitrak lights but I changed the driver side front wheel bearing hub due to noise. Got these lights afterwards. Pulled everything off and verified the tone strip is present on the hub. 2017 2wD equinox. If i turn the car off then back on, drive backwards about 100' the lightsdisappear. When i drive forward it's fine until i hit 15 mph then the lights come back on. I love troubleshooting. My scan tool doesn't see these faults, I'm trying the disconnect battery for 20 mins method. If that doesn't work I'll ohm sensors.
