Chrysler/FIAT the only car manufacturer where the doorman part is an upgrade over OEM.

[@joedavidzuniga1993]

😅

[@justpray365]

Actually, a friend of mine has a (magical) Toyota 4 Runner that had a plastic oil filter housing. It cracked and he replaced it with a metal Dorman part. Another friend has a 2 year old Tundra that has the same problem. So even the mighty Toyota can be upgraded with Dorman parts. 😂

[@44hawk28]

I actually wonder if Norman actually design that part or if they found that somebody was making it and decided to put their name on it. Would have been one of the first intelligent things that they did.

[@johnnyshell2839]

Yeah but you gotta admit that aluminum part is far more durable than anything plastic. Doorman made a set of heater hoses for Chevy where they did away with the plastic splitter and made it aluminum. Solved that problem permanently

[@filpaul]

Hi everybody, I’m the owner of this 200 and also “that guy” that did this repair previously. I apologize for the drywall screws and zip ties, I was working out of a friend’s garage and was pressed for time. I hate that Chrysler has “engineered” this beauty of a failure point. My dad worked for them for 40 years, most of which was in the exact factory this engine came out of. Sad to see it’s all become let’s make it easy to install and ship out, never thinking of what the mechanic that works on it will have to deal with.

Plastic clips break all the time, that is why they are usually cheap to replace. Despite what many think, plastic gets brittle and does degrade over time, it just takes a few years.

[@jamram9924]

Apparently, Chrysler has redesigned this specific oil cooler to address the leaks in the previous part. Dealerships are using this revised part. However, Dorman saw an opportunity and manufactured this part out of aluminum. Unlike many of their Chinese made parts, Dorman claims this part was designed and manufactured in the USA 🇺🇸

[@bigsparky8888]

Awsome...used Doorman parts since 1974...

I did this job on my sisters '15 Town & Country last winter. That was fun lol.

[@SomeRandomHuman717]

@13:48 For those doing this task where previous technicians have not changed how the factory assembles this particular bracket, the secret is to locate the one fastener (special double-ended stud with a 13mm hex in the middle) that secures this bracket to the cylinder head. It is hidden by the plastic wiring harness support that secures the really thick wiring harness that runs front to rear above the transmission. On my car it was gray plastic. This gray plastic support presses onto the end of the stud and sort of conceals the fact that it is a stud. Once you realize that, and are able to muscle the wiring harness so that the support can be pulled off the stud, it's easy to remove the special stud holding this bracket to the engine and free up the upper plenum.

I'm might proactively replace this oil cooler after seeing this. I like the look of that all metal design

[@Bonbonbon739]

I would. I only have 90,000 miles on mine and I’ve had to replace the oil cooler twice. They decided to make almost a whole plastic oil cooler and put it inside the hottest part of the the engine. I’ve only driven the car for 12,000 miles and I’ve had replace mine twice. I had to go to the junkyard both times to replace it so I didn’t have the luxury of having a aluminum one

[@cdnron75]

Yep! I had this issue with my Grand Caravan. Luckily I caught it when it was just a slow leak and noticed small drips on the driveway, though there was probably about 1L of oil sitting in the valley. I also replaced the oil cooler assembly with an aluminum version.

[@rmproute66]

I had the same issue with my 2014 Dodge GC. The Oil Cooler Housing has been the culprit of most of the oil leaks on the Pentastar Engines.

[@mymycojourney7924]

2016 Charger here. It was leaking slowly, and when I was trying to find the leak, it looked like it was either coming from the rear main seal, or I just had dirty trans fluid in my tranny and it was leaking. Either way, I thought I was going tk have to pull the transmission. Luckily this was a much easier fix.

[@theodorgiosan2570]

I've done a few of them. It's not all that difficult of a job, just get a list of what tools are necessary beforehand because there are weird fasteners all over the place like every modern car. Also a list of good oil filters to use are Fram XG11665, FS11665, FE11665, STP S11665XL, and Premium Guard PG6296XL. All of those are synthetic media filters that do not collapse/tear on these engines and filter much better than the typical paper ones. Those filters are around 97-99 percent at 20 microns vs for example a Wix that is only 95 percent at 25 microns.

No actual Chrysler has ever crossed my threshold. Waaaay back, when I was only starting out, Chrysler Europe was owned by Peugeot and we used to service a couple of Avengers and a Sunbeam. They pulled out of Europe for a long time, then bought Daewoo and I still look after a couple of those, one bearing a Chrysler badge, the other still a Daewoo. From watching YT videos, it seems Chrysler US has picked up some bad habits from their association with PSA group. Brackets on top of brackets on top of brackets, concealing a single bolt on a non-related component is a French thing. Stripping the entire inlet for access to other components, ditto. Who remembers the starter motor on a Citroen GS? No problem to unbolt it and disconnect it, but to get it off the car, the carb and manifold had to be removed. And there were no fancy O rings. Everything had a paper gasket that was thoroughly baked on and needed careful scraping to remove without damaging the heads or manifold. French designers seemed to take pleasure in making it hard to maintain their products.

[@johnt.848]

I'm sure GM bought Daewoo.

[@duncancremin1708]

Yes. Absolutely right. I’m so disappointed. I thought I was over that. I’m obviously still suffering from brain fog. Either that or early onset Alzheimer’s.

I realised my mistake a few hours after posting that, but was embroiled in other stuff, so couldn’t do anything about it. I’m sorta surprised you’re the only one to pick up on it.

[@cdnron75]

No, this is a well known issue with these housings warping and/or cracking. Blame the engineer who thought putting a plastic part on top of a hot engine was a good idea. Chrysler has you changing only the gaskets under warranty because they want to keep warranty costs down and changing the gaskets will temporarily fix the issue, hopefully for Chrysler until after the warranty runs out.

I like the new video Format Raymond Came together very nice after editing 7:34 @Rainman Ray's Repairs

[@miwa4783]

Great video, lots of break cleaner used and all the talk about seals and nipples almost got me started😊

I replaced the OEM unit with the Dorman unit & 6 months later the inlet oil o ring blew out. Replaced it all with OEM gaskets & it lasted 2 weeks before I noticed it leaking again. This time I'm going ad some Permatex aviation gasket type 3 to make sure it doesn't need to be done a 3rd time.

Yep, he is back to normal. The ADD is strong today.

Had a Grand Caravan come in for the same reason. Sadly, I couldn’t get the doorman because of an intergalactic backlog for the part, so the customer opted to replace the oil cooler with another OEM. I told him to watch out for any leaks every week because of how fragile these things are 😂 but my shop let me keep the old one as a souvenir. Really cool.

Professor Ray, you gave me chest pain once I realized what the repair was going to be. Your saving grace is that the engine is placed sideways as opposed to the Pentastar 3.6 in my Jeep Wrangler. Yes, I have had it replaced once under warranty. What a royal pain in the rear to be able to get the manifold off to be able to make such a replacement, much less change the plugs. I’m tempted to order the Dorman just to have it available if the first replacement were to go bad. My son-in-law had an Exxon Valdez spill in his Jeep Cherokee during a Christmas visit to Kansas. My brother’s daughter also had one give up the ghost in a Liberty I believe it was, or Compass. You made it look easy enough to consider attempting a replacement on my own if need be. Thank you.

Ray!...i really like the new intro foremat!!! Good to see you! I know youll do a great job on this chrysler junk! Really liked this video!

[@kclefthanded427]

Thanks Ray for the heads-up and what to do about it

[@krallopian]

Soooo, just discovered your channel, you're a freakin' riot dude! Your energy and positive attitude is such a pleasure! Just bought a 2015 200S and 10 minutes down the road the engine died, huge knock thereafter. Replacing the engine atm, and upgrading to the Dorman oil cooler housing, Dorman aluminum thermostat housing and thermostat. Hoping the top end will be in decent shape still (dreaded lifter/rocker issue) so fingers crossed. Watching you do this has given me huge confidence in the solve though, *cheers!

[@betomendez4304]

Love these videos cause I was able too change spark plugs on my fusion after watching. I was nervous cause never took off an upper intake before thx

[@kennethrussell4923]

"Snake Oil" engine coolant is the BESTEST! 🤣🤣🤣

[@bulldogshouse9970]

I really enjoyed today's content keep up the great work brother

[@matthewsykes4814]

I just worked something out.... BG fluids = Bloody Good fluids. I know, I need to get a life. Great video as always Ray. I learn something new every time. The best thing is your customers know they are getting the best work as they can see it happening, seeing your shop full is brilliant.

[@ahoytheremate1954]

RAY i am amazed how you are such a great mechanic mate you are a 65 yr old mechanic in a body 30 yrs younger and willing to admit your mistakes i salute you Ray and i love you working on old school engines

[@kathyandchrismiller3543]

I have a 2014 grand caravan. Same problem, the Dorman replacement had a year wait , so I went with original equipment, mopar. I also had to replace the crossover coolant pipe between the heads, originally plastic, got the Dorman aluminum replacement. Runs great now!

[@randy51]

On the contrary, maybe it’s good that he IS watching. It may encourage him to do a better job from now on. Randy in Chattanooga, Tennessee said that.

[@user-ol5rj8qn9o]

Had a ENT Doc suck out the Floriduh fungus from my ear and it sounded like that cleanout. Hurt like hell too. I like the way you took the time to install those sensors right side up so the connectors fit properly Ray.

[@dougcrowther7513]

Just managed to watch this video, loved the oil filling part very funny 😅😅
