What did you use for the one between the heater core pipes I can seem to get anything to fit
@NukeNukemson2 ай бұрын
On those Chargers, and Challengers as well, all three actuators should be the same. So no matter which brand you get, as long as it fits one of the other spots, it should fit in any of the spots…in theory. If you cannot get a new actuator to fit into a specific spot, next to the heater core in this case, I would just replace one of the other actuators with the new one and install the replaced actuator into the heater core spot.

@NukeNukemson3 ай бұрын
@JoseSandoval-ic5xe I did not have any fuel trim abnormalities with either Charger when these connection/cracking issues were happening with their fuel pump hats, and that makes sense because the actual pump module inside the assembly worked fine during all the trouble. However, before the leaky hat issue on the 2012, i did replace that primary fuel pump assembly in it due to the pump going weak and eventually failing. And when it first started acting up (getting weak), it threw a DTC for a lean fuel trim and illuminated the Check Engine Light. It got me home that night, but then failed to start the next morning IIRC, at which point I diagnosed it and then replaced it.
@NukeNukemson3 ай бұрын
Actually, the more I think back, the more I believe it continued to run for a while after the lean DTC and CEL, but I knew it was on the way out and so did the replacement within a few days when I had the chance to do the work
@NukeNukemson3 ай бұрын
FYI: a lean fuel trim issue does not always mean the primary pump assembly (or the auxiliary sending unit on passenger side) is going bad. Many times it does mean one or the other needs to be replaced, but it could also just be an obstructed or partially clogged fuel filter/sock inside the primary pump assembly’s basket. Those little socks aren’t considered a serviceable item, so a complete pump assembly replacement would be the official repair for a clogged one, but I think I would try manually cleaning the debris off it first to see if that was all that was needed if I found mine to be severely clogged upon inspection

Good video. I'm no mechanic but looking into replacing the rocker arm assembly on the passenger side of the vehicle which would be 1,3,5 side. How do i know if #1 is at top center and does not have load if not so how do i put it to that position. Thanks
@NukeNukemson5 ай бұрын
IIRC there is a TDC mark on the crankshaft pulley that can be used to position the #1 cylinder at TDC. You would need to remove that front timing cover piece to be able to see that pulley and align its TDC mark though, which is a pain in the butt. An alternate approach I’ve used is to pull the spark plug out of cylinder 1 and insert something like a really long one-piece socket extension into the spark plug hole, and watch that go up and down as i rotate the engine by hand. As soon as the intake rocker on cylinder 1 completes it’s up/down sequence then the extension should be at its lowest point of travel, and further turning over of the engine will slowly raise the extension up in the cylinder as the piston is coming on compression stroke. Once the extension stops going up and starts to go down, you know you just started the power stroke, which means TDC was just there. Rotate engine back a hair to get extension at its highest point again, and that’s TDC for that cylinder (number 1).

Thank you so much very useful information 👍. As far as turning the engine all I need is either a breaker bar or ratchet with a socket correct? Will I be able to do that with the serpentine belt on or should I remove it?
@NukeNukemson5 ай бұрын
@@sergiosanchez4967 a breaker bar or stout enough ratchet will do it, you’ll just need to find a socket that will fit one of the accessory pulley bolts or the crankshaft bolt. Start the engine and watch the serpentine belt’s direction of travel to know which way to manually spin the engine with the ratchet and socket. (Seems like it spins counterclockwise, but I can’t recall for sure; definitely verify that with it running and observing the belt’s direction of travel).

@@sergiosanchez4967 Oh yeah, one more tip/trick: if you are having to spin the engine over manually with a breaker/ratchet, remove all the spark plugs first. Spinning it with the plugs still in the heads means you will fight the cylinders’ compression each time the pistons go upward. That requires extra effort to overcome as you turn it by hand obviously. Spinning the engine without the plugs in it is much easier to do when doing it by hand, not nearly as much resistance for each turn of the ratchet/breaker bar.

@NukeNukemson6 ай бұрын
Getting a P0440 code is kinda like getting a P0300 - without one or more related codes also being stored with it to narrow down what the car believes to be the problem, diagnosing it will be nearly impossible. It’s just too generic to really know where to start. Make sure there are no outstanding emissions recalls on the car. And if there are, especially the one about a malfunctioning charcoal canister, go have those performed and then see the code returns afterward. Some of the Chargers were subject to a recall that basically has them replace the charcoal canister to address it. It wound be nice if that were all it was to your issue. You can have it fixed for free if it is!

@NukeNukemson8 ай бұрын
P0441 isn’t a common issue with these cars that I’m aware of. Which engine is in it, the 5.7L V8 or the 3.5L/2.7L V6? The purge valve solenoid should be mounted to the back side of the passenger side strut tower under the hood IIRC, regardless of the engine. But that’s just one possibility for the P0441 code it looks like. There could be several other causes. Are there any outstanding safety recalls on the car? Make sure to have any emissions recalls addressed by the local dealership before diving too far into this diag.
As George Washington (or Thomas Jefferson or somebody old and wise) once said: “Man cannot live off beer alone!” AMEN!!

@NukeNukemson10 ай бұрын
It’s okay if you are talking about immediate dangers. There is no immediate danger of failure with minimal play. The engine will still start and run like it has been doing. But that play will only increase over time until it turns into a problem and needs replacement. How long that takes depends. Keep the oil changed; don’t run extended OCIs. If it begins clacking on startup on cold mornings, that’s when you need to start formulating a plan for addressing it - either replacing parts or replacing car will be in the near future at that point.

@@Guitaroverkill the 3.6L isn’t known for valve train oiling issues, that I’m aware of anyway. I will say I’ve the same happen on various motors over the years, and I was able to solve it by replacing the oil filter. I guess some just come with faulty oil drain back valves, no rhyme or reason. If I get valve train noise at start up where there previously was none, I’d change the filter to a new one and that’d fix it. If your issue persists across several different oil changes and/or filters, this is not going to be your problem. But if it suddenly pops up after an oil change (and presumably a new oil filter), try replacing the filter and see if that helps.
