Fixing the 5.9L V8 Magnum Knocking Issue | PART 3

[@C8sorbs]

Great job sleuthing the issue and coming up with a $50 fix. Imagine taking it to a shop and getting “the entire motor needs a rebuild” quote? Big 👍🏻’s up!

[@MrThomasfouraker]

Perfect example of a budget fix. So many people would say to pull the engine and rebuild or replace. This is something you could do over a weekend and be driving to work Monday. Good work.

Roll in some new rod bearing inserts if the crank journals are in good shape........done............glad to see it fixed the problem, sounds good! Thanks for the video update!

[@tgtshirts1]

I would of loved to see how you got out the pan!!!! I am having no luck. .....Ok I found the short video on your other channel... thanks Thanks for the video. Thumbs UP

[@lifeonadime4703]

Very nice. Glad you found it was just a tired bearing. I'm never that lucky lol. I always stack bearings before I hear it knock fast enough to just throw bearings in it

[@sunshinesallday]

Great diagnostics... geeez you can fix so many things. All the best John... thanks for the video

[@firstrespondergarage]

👍👍🚒 awesome got it before it spun. I thought for sure it was a flex plate. Mine was cracked in 5 spots.

[@lexiky04]

Certainly glad you found problem and fix was able to be done without any crank damage. Makes it better for me when you sell that baby to me!! Enjoy your videos..Jody

Awesome job as usual John!!! Looking forward to seeing the footage of the race you were talking about I’m hoping you were able to get everything ready and it all worked out well!!!!

[@treymartin3457]

Outstanding, great job!!!

[@robertgembala8532]

Great job and video !

[@68Peeler]

Glad you got it worked out !!

[@willmatic84]

Wow man you drove this cross country and now you fixed her that truck deserves it 😌👌🏽 #BSTEDMTRSPRTS

[@Wrencheasy]

Nice diagnosis and fix, not to mention nursing it all the way back to florida! With this in mind do you think your technique of keeping it quiet on the drive helped?

[@christophergonzales7876]

What headers are on that truck?? They seem to avoid the brake booster , that’s why you are able to lift it so high. My stock manifolds are hitting a bracket on the passenger side and the brake booster on the driver side.

[@MrKLenning]

You were very lucky this didn't fail on your trip back to Florida! I'm curious, how many miles are on this engine?

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I agree! It doesnt appear to be the original engine so its hard to say!

[@MrKLenning]

@BoostedMotorsports Glad you got it fixed and darn cheap! 👍

[@TheBassman396]

Good job man , is that white dash cluster a OEM part I am having a hard time finding one

[@BoostedMotorsports]

I’ll sell you this one if you want send me a message

[@TheBassman396]

Ok

[@ROCKYITALIANOU812]

[[ 2003 Durango 5.9 engine ]]when taking out the #5 lower connecting rod bearing out what position does all or the Firing order should be before doing your bearings ??

[@dtruth5769]

Nice job. Any reason why you didn't replace main bearings.

[@JETZcorp]

Main bearings require the whole engine to come out and come apart to remove the crank. Rod bearings you can do in the truck.

[@erichuff2538]

Thats pretty awesome. That it worked out so well .

[@ShadyOne9]

Is that metal on the oil pickup tube?? Good catch. She was definitely close to grenade status

[@joshuasmith4165]

I have to ask, did this repair hold up? I am having a similar issue with my R/T that I bought back from the second owner as I was the original owner. Thanks for any additional information.

[@cm4485]

Got the same engine in my 96 ram 1500 what would u recommend to add hp

[@raymondpauze8801]

What grade oil did you fill it with? The great Mopar tech Ebouger at Mopar Action mag suggests 15/40 in the Magnums

[@ROCKYITALIANOU812]

I have a 2003 dodge durango 4x4 5.9 . I did what you did with standard size connecting rod bearings my original crank is fine . I did the first two like you did to 45 ft pounds torque the crank will not turn for me to move to do the others . Can you help out with any idea

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome J《☆》👍⛾🍕🦅Nice Georgia overhaul Brother🖖🤠☮

[@JETZcorp]

My 5.9 Dakota just started making this exact noise. Guess I have a good idea what's causing it. Sure would be nice if I had a lift or even a garage.

[@JETZcorp]

Turns out my noise was coming from a disintegrated harmonic balancer. Identical noise, but much easier fix. I was starting the process of pulling the pan when I clanked my head into the thing and it made The Noise.

[@DarrensTruckzs]

Nice fix , perfect timing on catching the issue before it spin right round.. is Josh a hired hand along with i think it was his Dad in the other video installing headers etc, or they friends , family or neighbours , not trying to be nosy jus curious like any average human lol , great videos as always 👍

[@CarsTrucksWhatever]

Good video

[@TheCamshaft360]

Now it's time for a supercharger!

[@sipnscoot3049]

Nice!

[@tonyfernandez1957]

You should mic the crank, that much wear on the bearing caused wear on the crank more than likely. Temporary fix more than likely.

[@korehok72]

Отлично!!! Молодец!!!

[@nos1000100]

Probably ran low on oil a few times

[@Backyardjackleg]

OH NO! Not a FRAM oil filter! 🤣

[@TheProchargedmopar]

👍💪
