Jeep 3.6 Pentastar Hack - What to do if you get a P060DD code

[@dmck1863]

Thanks so much for your video, worked for me. Solenoid cost $70 and the RTV was $20 Canadian. Cleared the code with my programmer and it hasn’t returned.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Glad it helped

Hello there ... Is the aftermarket solenoid working good or i should replace the whole pump ...??

[@singh-zq9mh]

@@leecrumble3921it's working fine...

[@elgroso806]

Yo save me hours of my life ! I'm a mechanic and I thought I was going to remove the engine because sometimes the rear main seal has 2 bolt that ataches the plate to the upper oil pan in parallel to the crankshaft and requires to detach the engine from the transmission. I loved this video !! Thanks

[@4WheelingSA]

Nice Gerard! Looking forward to the content coming!

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Thanks bud. Sure gonna be awesome

[@Major-Joker]

Oh the infamous pentastar 😅, another common fail point is lifters and camshaft ticking away

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Yeah, lifters is another issue on its own

[@motoprofessor3546]

Just replaced lifters, rockers, and one camshaft on my 2016 Caravan. Now it's time to replace the oil pump to clear that solenoid code. I wish I had seen this video before buying the oil pump. The oil pump can be removed by only removing the lower oil pan if you have the correct swivel socket. So they say.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

We didnt get the Caravan this side of the world, so cant comment on the sump, but could be. Good luck with the oil pump change, its not so difficult 💪

[@peterbarnhardt8573]

I did see how you removed the oil deep stick

[@jenrobinson9827]

Great video but how did you remove the oil dip stick tube?

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Hi, its just a M6 bolt and then it pulls out

[@505videos]

Hello!! I have the same code, with an scanner i checked the oil pressure and my jeep has an perfect oil pressure, so i dont know why is showing me that code. Is there any problems i use the jeep with that code on? Knowing i have a good oil pressure?

[@MountainmanBuildz]

The solenoid doesnt affect bad oil pressure, it burns and gets stuck. So the code is just to replace the solenoid

[@chaselesser3191]

Does the oil pressure switch from low to high, at higher RPMs? Thats why there is a Solenoid, for it to switch up the pressure. But you should have Good low pressure, it would just fail to engage the higher pressure.

[@Aaros-SL]

The Amazon garage says that the solenoid doesn't fit a 2015 JK. Not sur why that would be, they're all the same engine, The solenoid should fit a 2015, right?

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Hi, yes they all the same, I guess the supplier didnt list it in his listing. But fits 100%

[@Aaros-SL]

@@MountainmanBuildz Thanks!

[@checoschmidt82]

Hey bud, so P06DD is not needed to change the complete oil pump, just the solenoid valve?

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Thst is correct, only need to change pump if you have oil pressure issues or gunked oil

[@DaveWilsonYouTube]

Just about to do this job on my JK, your video does a great job of showing how much access there is and how to get it done without removing the entire pump. Thanks for taking the time to make this, cheers! Edit: Did the P06DD code ever return after this?

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Thanks for watching. The P06DD hasnt returned at all, Jeep has been moving along smoothly ever since. Im doing a gearbox oil change next, hopefully sometime by next week. So make sure to subscribe. Would appreciate it.

[@saraho5846]

No issues with the code again after? Though dorman is a great company (I installed there aluminum oil cooler no issues) but was informed by a few mechanics and the online forums to only use mopar sensors.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

None whatsoever, I do believe that the sensor in the Oil Cooler from Jeep is made by Dorman, so thats OEM.

[@saraho5846]

Awesome good to hear

[@Sguzman20]

Would this work for Jeep Grand Cherokee 2014 3.6? Amazon does not mention GC just Cherokee

[@MountainmanBuildz]

They are the same motor, it will work.

[@mooosestang]

I guess the jeep 3.6 has a totally different pan than the one in the dodge charger. I think i can get to mine through the small oil pan.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Could be, we never got the Dodge Charger this sode of the world 😢

[@andthen5143]

Probably a silly question but does this video translate over to the Jeep jL with the 3.6 as well ? I’m new to jeeps and had this issue happen today unfortunately. I wasn’t sure if there was any changes to the design of that part of the engine

[@MountainmanBuildz]

Hi, they are all the same, the pentastar engine didnt change internally. Good luck

[@Huskertroop]

About to get started on this, thanks for the video...the manual link that you provided below isn't the same detail as the one in the video. Is it possible to link that one? Thanks!

[@jeepinintexas6215]

How has that Dorman solenoid held up? I replaced my OEM solenoid (because I was getting the P06DD code) with the Dorman unit. Now after a couple hundred miles (around 320km) I am getting a P06DA code. I think the Dorman solenoid already crapped out on me. Looks like I might have to replace the whole pump assembly now with a Mopar (also spelled $$$) unit.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

@@jeepinintexas6215 dorman solenoid hasnt failed yet since its been put in, many many miles later. Wonder if it could be your oil cooler?

[@jeepinintexas6215]

​@@MountainmanBuildz Its possible I received a defective solenoid but I will have to check the wiring to it as well over the weekend. A mechanic friend checked my oil cooler a few weeks ago with one of those probing cameras. He didn't find any leaks. I replaced that oil cooler at 108k miles, I have 138k on the Jeep now.

@@jeepinintexas6215 that could always be a possibility, I hope you come right

Man how did you pry the upper pan off? I can’t get this thing off for the life of me and I’m worried about smacking it too hard that it breaks

[@MountainmanBuildz]

You will see tabs sticking out in the front, take a piece of wood, 2x4 or something, from the top rest it on the tab and hit with a 4 pound hammer, it will come off. Remember to loosen the two M6 bolts at the torque converter first, they are very hidden

How many hours did it take to replace the solanoid

Was the P06DD the only code you were getting or was there an additional code with it? I am getting the P06DD code & PO394. I replaced both camshaft position sensors and confirmed that the wiring harness is working correctly. Everything in the heads looks good mechanically.

[@MountainmanBuildz]

P06DD was the only code But for P0394, it indicates Bank 2 cam sensor, but check your wheel speed sensors, make sure they are clean, they can also trigger P0394
