Did They Really Say $17,000? A Misdiagnosis From The Dealership

Hey Good People,
You guys know, that the more I post videos on the 3.6 Pentastar, the more people are going to bring me their pentastar products. And I love it! It just helps me get better and better at working with them!
In this video, customer was quoted by the local Dodge dealership for a new engine. Skeptical about his head gasket being blown, he brought it to me for a second opinion.
I would like to think that the dealership is would be more knowledgeable about their products and what fails on them than me. But somehow, here we are. Please leave your comments below. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this.

[@scientist100]

no need, I live in Indiana. I only charge my customers when I help them, if I cannot fix the issue; it is free, that's how confident I'm with my diagnosis.

[@LeadStarDude]

I had a dealership tell me I needed a new computer once not long ago because of HVAC and MIL codes. All kinds of stuff weren't working like cruise control, ambient air temperature sensor, air conditioning, limp mode on transmission, and more. I went around the inside of the engine bay and took off and cleaned every ground wire connected to the body coming from the fuse box, computer, and basically every ground I could find. Reconnected the battery, and all of those things instantly corrected themselves. Erased all codes, and none of them have come back since, which was over 9 months ago now. This is on a 2005 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi. Cost me 20 minutes of my time and $0 money. They wanted thousands for a bunch of parts and labor that I didn't need.

Amazing that a dealership would drop a $17k quote and wouldn't make damn sure it's the right diag.

[@the7thdean1]

They never do. KIA is probably the worst. I took my Optima in for diag and they said it would take 9 days. So I made an appointment to bring my car back and when I dropped it off they said it would be 3-4 days. This was a Tuesday and by Tuesday of the next week it hadn't been assigned a tech - I went and got my car.

Alex as a Chrysler tech myself I totally agreed with how you approached this vehicle unfortunately for the customer I think they may have gotten a “lazy” or inexperienced tech? But I will say I have seen this failure before on multiple CDJR products

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Thanks for confirming this. I know you guys at the dealership see way more of this than I do! Which is why I’m baffled that they said the head gasket was blown 🤔

[@marlinyoung1606]

That block tester is not a 100% test on if the head gasket is compromised. We had one of those 3.6 engine over heating and did the block test and passed. Fixed the leaking thermostat housing, let the vehicle go and she came back said it was still over heating. So I got my gas analyzer and found over 200 ppm of hydrocarbons in the cooling system.

[@biometal770]

Dealer techs are paid on flat rate (e.g. paid by the job). Therefore this creates an incentive to maximize repair costs, labor hours, and to cut corners, because mechanics are always fighting against the clock. Also, service advisors are paid on commission. The pay structure in a dealership is to maximize revenue, with customer satisfaction taking a back seat. This is why I quit being a mechanic. While I never ripped any customers off, I did not recommend services not needed. Many times I worked 40 hours, but was only paid for 20-30. Many great mechanics leave the dealerships (or other shops) to start their own shop or just leave the industry entirely. Being a mechanic is a very rewarding career, but it's hard to feed your family working on the flat rate system.

[@RobOn85South]

pretty idiotic reason to "quit being a mechanic" 😂😂😂 not all shops / dealerships are ONE IN THE SAME !

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

This is true. That is why I quit every shop I ever worked for. I never believed in selling services they don’t need. My best job was an hourly job doing fleet work at UPS. I think those guys are getting paid in the mid to high 40’s per hour these days

[@jixxxerrr]

I've been a flat rate tech for over 30 years and never had to upsell anything the vehicle didn't need to make my 40-50 hours. Only time you can't make flat rate is during the holidays/slow car count.

[@biometal770]

@@RobOn85South why is it idiotic to quit being a mechanic when I couldn’t feed my family? I worked in a number of shops, the experience was similar in each. I will not accept a smaller paycheck when there are no cars to work on. That’s the dealerships problem, not mine. They lost a good mechanic. It was a blessing in disguise, I’m far happier with my current job. I make triple the money as a desk jockey now.

Just found your channel. Great diagnostic. I had the same situation on my Ford van. Oil cooler was shot. When you showed the external shot of the cooler and then showed the overflow and radiator, I would have been surprised if the leakdown chemical would have turned color.

[@OKHotrodder-cg5gu]

I have a '21 Ram 3.6 with 45k miles sitting here with a rod out the side of the pan. It sat at the dealer for a few months. They ended up saying chrysler denied the repairs, quoting "lack of maintenance." That's funny, they did the maintenance the first 35k miles and the last two oil changes the guy has receipts showing it was done. But the dealer quoted $14k for a new engine. What happened to the 60k mile drivetrain warranty? Oh yeah, it only applies when they say it does. The same customer just dropped off his '18 Jeep Cherokee 3.6 and thought the starter was bad because it wasn't turning over. Nope, cyl 3 full of water. Hydrolocked for sure. Now trying to track down all the parts to replace the pass head. I have a '05 Chrysler sitting here with 100k and a rod knocking. I have a '15 Ram ecodiesel that needs $8k in exhaust parts to get it out of limp mode. I've replaced several 3.6 heads for the #2 misfire. Can they not get it right? I mean, all I hear about is how Fords suck and has issues but the chryslers are coming in left and right.

[@jcc9thSI1917]

Owned a '99 ford windstar with 10 years of worry-free service(it's true, ask my wife!) It developed this same condition with the transmission cooling lines through the radiator. 1 dealer, 3 independent shops all totalled my engine. My neighbor's grandfather(retired mechanic)told me to change the radiator, and flush the coolant system. It solved the problem, but coolant had contaminated the transmission, which i replaced, then sold the vehicle.

[@dbenders1]

I have a 2014 nissan maxima. No white smoke, no sludge. Just p430, p420. Had also a p305, 217, 300 and 174. A coil was broken, and looks like cheap plugs on it. Coolant leaking somewhere, the reservoir has black coolant with a strong odor. Two mechanics performed hydrocarbon tests. One said it was positive, the other said negative. Not sure who to believe or where to go. One suggested new gasket and coil, the other just a tune up.

[@Ottonic6]

Oil mixed with coolant could be from leaky gaskets/o-rings under the oil cooler, cause I could see water mixed with oil at 1:56 when you first looked at the oil cooler

[@bradhaines3142]

i have a toyota hybrid, if you stretch the oil changes too far you can get condensation in the oil. itll look like milkshake of doom but head gasket will be fine. its because with the auto start stop of being hybrid the block cools enough for water to find its way in through the humidity in the air.

I figured $4k for a HG repair and then something else could go wrong it was a no brainer. The new engine has a 3 year 100k warranty. My original never had the tick either, all the way to the end.

2016 Chrysler 200 Limited with the dreaded 3.6 here….I have oil in my coolant reservoir which caused a really thick milky substance but there is no coolant in the oil. It did run hot and I immediately pulled over and had it towed home. Should I just remove the reservoir to clean it and also drain the rest of the coolant and oil and replace the oil cooler? Or should I clean the reservoir/drain coolant and refill and do the block test to make sure it’s not a head issue? The oil cooler, to my knowledge as I have only had the car a year, has never been replaced. Thanks in advance!

[@jaimealarcon7536]

Agree, this is a ridiculous dealership assumption for something that may look as a possible "blown head gasket" I think most of the failure from the technician at this diagnosis is... the flat rate (they pressure to get things done fast) and tons of warranty jobs (underpay labor) because of manufacture defects/ errors. Since manufacture cheap out on quality control on the production line now technicians have to pay with their check to fix the manufacture errors for being cheap since they get underpay ridiculously.

[@mds2465]

Engine oil coolers are a super common failure point on a lot of modern cars. I usually see that on BMWs or VW products. Oil filter housings are also notoriously problematic on Audis. Those are a real pain to change out on the V8 engines.

Thank you Alex and wife for going back to the dealer. The fact that they were still willing to be defensive and rationalize their sloppy work to “we go off what they say…we only get an hour diagnostic” shows the level of robbery they are willing to embark on selling engines all year long.

It is your job as a service writer professional to interpret what the customer is saying, what the mechanic is saying, and recommend the proper repairs and explain in laymens terms for the customer.

Sadly I’ve been the inexperienced dealer tech put on jobs I had no clue how to troubleshoot and I’ve had my share of misdiagnosis in the past. This industry needs to change its ways and find a way to progressively build techs skills gradually and confidence rather than throw them to the wolves on flat rate and get pissed off at them to the point of harassment when they fail to do a job accurately they weren’t trained or qualified to do. Day one as a GM dealer tech fresh out of school and lube pit I was dropping transaxles out of Cadillacs and 8.8 axle ring and pinion gear replacements without any mentoring training or supervision till they come back with a dreaded “howl “😵‍💫. And this was in 2012. It’s just a bad situation happening in the industry all around at the moment.
