TOP 5 PROBLEMS w/ Dodge DURANGO and CHARGER with the 3.6 Pentastar

[@GisonLee]

Alex, This engine has great design and they mess it up with rockers that do not hold up and plastic oil coolers and a bunch of plastic everywhere...thank you for sharing your knowledge. For owners that drive $65,000 Rubicons it is disappointing to see plastic oil coolers that can crack. Even the 2024 models still have that same installation. That is so unjustified and is called manufacturer greed and carelessness. Alex, keep up your wonderful work. Thank you.

[@muchlightandlove4312]

Love Alex’s passion for cars. Always learning and teaching is a gift! Hats off to you Alex!

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

Thanks so much!

[@josecora1917]

Yes, Alex is a good mechanic, but they wil not tell you the rest of the story for obvios reason. I a retired mechanic, I own a 2016 Dodge Ram with that infamous 3.6 Pentastar engine, right now the truck has 120.000 miles on it, and only do the oil, spark plug, air filter change. Jog the engine EVERY MORNING ! Avoid that dry start, AND USE A GOOD QUALITY OIL, i use Royal Purple oil, and put a baxter oil adapter at at 100,00 miles ! 😂😂😂 Let me tell you, the dry start vanished for ever !!!

[@kraftp]

I don't understand how because this rocker lifter issue is so common there isn't some kind of class action or recall. Definitely not ok for a customer to have to pay for this expensive repair out of pocket because of a design flaw. Thanks for the recent uploads Alex!

[@michaelchapman7556]

For real. & I know everyone has to deal with this because I’m dealing with it now at 135,000 miles. Changed the oil & started the tick within a week

I found your channel because my wife wants to purchase a used Grand Cherokee. I know nothing about the Pentastar and started watching your videos. Your engine advice is fantastic and well-stated. Even more than your engine advice I hope I can pick up some tips on how to be as calm and light-hearted as you. Thanks for being such a great example.

[@FishingRandomPlaces]

@@CTSCAPER me and my wife. Just bought a 2013 grand Cherokee with 140k miles. Runs drives and sounds smooth as the day it was built. My guess is either the rocker arms and lifters were replaced before we bought it or it has yet to happen. At the end of the day literally any engine can develop this problem. If you like how it drives buy it. We love ours.

[@CTSCAPER]

@@FishingRandomPlaces Thanks for sharing, 618. Sometimes, I get lost in the weeds. We've had the Grand Cherokee for over a year now, and so far, there have been no problems.

[@FishingRandomPlaces]

@@CTSCAPER glad to hear that. Keep fresh oil in it and drive it til it breaks. When it breaks, fix it. Im In a Honda crv group on Facebook and I see complaints and problems there every day also.

[@abbadonwilson514]

Man. Through my life? Ive learned that finding an honest mechanic is about as rare as finding a needle in a whole field of hay. You have any idea how many mechanics would just be like, “Naw man it’s your head gasket. Screwed up your timing, cam shafts, cam position sensor, plus your coolant is leaking into your catalytic converter”. Then say the front tie rod end’s caused the whole problem!😂 Your so honest I wish I could send my truck to you to get fixed 👍🏻😎

[@geomadrigal6857]

Thanks for the video after watching I went to look for these problems and I caught the oil cooler leaking. You saved me from a locked up engine.

[@JMAquino-h1m]

I have a 2020 Dodge Durango gt plus 3.6V and spent a good amount of money to get it fixed. At first it was just the ignition coils. Replaced those and still had a problem. Went back to my mechanic and he opened the engine .. found out the rockers, lifters and cam had to be replaced. This video was very informative !! Thank you Alex! Now I’m going to replace the oil filter housing to aluminum.

I wish you were my mechanic! Your personality shines through! Around my way the mechanics are robbers and snakes! The good honest mechanics, you have to wait weeks to get work done. I just subscribed!

[@paintnamer6403]

PO 128 Coolant temperature below thermostat regulating. This will cause the oil to sludge up too and maybe no heat.

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

This the one! Thanks buddy!

[@nestooor00]

@@paintnamer6403 got this code just today this will be my 3rd time replacing the thermostat first was with AutoZones second the metal dorman ..

[@10100rsn]

A P0128 may set in cold weather conditions especially if your oil level is high. The code will pop up when the computer detects that the engine hasn't reached operating temperature fast enough, it doesn't necessarily mean the thermostat itself is bad, but means the engine hasn't gotten hot fast enough for the computers liking. If the oil is up high within the hash mark then let your engine heat up a bit longer before putting it in gear. If the oil level is above the hash mark on the dipstick then be sure to remove some oil or get a proper oil change as too much oil can be bad. Also, if you have one of those aluminum oil filter adapter housings then it may take longer for your engine to warm up as the oil cooler is just a simple heat transfer device, the flow of coolant and oil through the oil cooler may keep your engine cold long enough on a cold start to set this code. But that is just another thing to take note of because, of course, the thermostat could be stuck partially or fully open, too.

[@craigdelegato908]

[@ash-mpi3351]

The P0128 is a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) for malfunction in coolant thermostat - coolant temperature below the thermostat regulating temperature. In simple terms, when the code shows up, there's a problem with your car's coolant thermostat.

[@cookieman136]

Just did mine a month ago.

[@bradbyron3620]

Did all 24 followers and lifters. Cam lobes were fine. Made sure that I used Melling followers and lifters. Oil soaked all parts for a few days prior to doing the job.

[@blazeandcyrus]

I just swapped out the plastic oil cooler on my 2015 200c. I did put an aluminum one on it. Viewers, if you start seeing small oil leak and or the smell of antifreeze when you turn it off, I bet the oil cooler is probably leaking.

When I asked him a year ago and checked out his car it had 239k miles on the original engine and transmission. Still ran great. A year later and he’s still driving it. It’s all been routine maintenance for him but his dad is a mechanic so I’m sure it was taken exceptional care of its entire life. I know a girl that has one with 160k miles on original tans/ motor as well. It really sounds like they’re some solid runners and the owners are all pretty happy with them

I have a 2013 Chrysler 300 with 3.6L and a 2016 Dodge Durango 3.6L. The 300 has 213,000 miles on it and 104,000 on the Durango. I use Valvoline Synthetic on each with the proper SAE weight on each. Also use STP synthetic additive on each. I run them for about 9 to 10,000 miles between changes. NO problem with lifter noise on either

[@Penske_Truck_Roseburg-Ore]

I have a 2020 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT 3.6 VVT Pentastar motor. I have got a code P0128 and seen that it was the thermostate that went out, I replaced it myself in about 20 minutes and ran the motor and added more coolant. After about 20 minutes of driving the vehicle the Check engine went out on its own, I wish I knew about the metal thermostat replacement but maybe next time. Also, the Oil All aluminum constrution Oil cooler, I have to get one of those not knowing what it will cost to replace the one in there already. The transmission, I change the Fluid every 60,000 Miles with the best fluid on the market, also oil changes every 5,500 miles full synthetic high mileage. Please note this vehicle is driven 80% freeways speeds 70 miles daily. This van is my daily driver and currently have 119,712 Miles on it. Runs great and I do not have the Pentastar Tick in the motor as it sits idiling. No other problems with my Dodge, this is the first Mopar vehicle I have ever owned, I'm a Ford Man, but since Ford priced were too high and the overpriced vehicles, they have had so many factory recalls and hazards, I just went and paid cash for the new much cheaper Dodge grand caravan all paid off. I'm glad I didn't buy the Ford Vehical because of the major recalls and the overly high price they want for a vehicle that will destroy itself in the firs 10,000 miles, also transmission breaking or Engines catching on fire. No thank you Ford.

👍🏿# 13! I bought the lifetime powertrain warranty when I purchased my 2016 wrangler new. I don't know if changing the oil cooler housing or the thermostat housing would void the warranty. I have 22,400 mi and haven't had any problems. After watching your videos I don't want to wait until these parts fail but I don't want any issues with mopar honoring the warranty if there's a problem.

[@stevenekdahl7124]

Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep will use any excuse to void your warranty the dealerships are the most dishonest disgusting crooks on the planet. When you're Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep breaks and it will break go to a good private mechanic like this guy.

[@donsoule6411]

Due to the cartridge type oil filter lacking an anti drain back valve like a spin-on type has, there is a momentary lack of lubrication at start-up to the valve components. A company known as Baxter Performance sells an oil filter adapter to allow the use of a spin-on oil filter. There are two models available… one to keep the oil filter up top, the other is to remote mount an oil filter connected by oil lines. I went with the remote mount and guess what ?? No more “clatter” noise at start-up!

[@keitherickson6684]

This is for the lifters the ticking , when the pentastar block is being made they blow hot sand thru the ports , the cylinder walls to assure smooth flow , but before building the motor they have to clear the sand , but not all the sand gets out and eventually it makes it across the lifters some stay on the lifters some will later pass later

[@greggorybrailsford7200]

[@skulldriver1019]

Its my understanding that the lifter failure is due to dry starts due to no drainback valve in the upper engine oiling system. Baxter performance sells a fix for this. Mishimoto makes the best oil filter/cooler housing.

[@donsoule6411]

I’ve installed the Doorman aluminum oil filter housing and a Baxter Performance Oil Filter Adapter on my 2014 Durango. Decided on the Baxter model designed for running oil lines to a remote mounted spin-on oil filter. Now, no more momentary “clatter” noise at start up. My take on the Pentastar V6 designed with the cartridge type oil filter, is that it was engineered to hopefully just last beyond the factory warranty and after that provide a steady stream of income for dealership service departments!

P0128 thermostat polarity

[@jamesmyers9285]

I have a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with 170,000 miles and a 3.6L Pentastar V6. I use synthetic oil, changed every 6,000 miles, and never had a problem with the Jeep. I own a 2015 Chr4yler 300c with the same engine, but I only have 9,560 miles on the car. How many miles are on these vehicles you are working on?

[@map7463]

Have you seen many Durango front heater core leaks? Is it the 2 o-ring seals that leak or the actual core that leaks? Is there an easier way to replace them. I've seen people have to remove the whole dash to get to them. That's just insane.. what a crappy design. I ask because when i turn on the engine when cold i smell coolant. But not when hot. I suspect it could be the seals leaking when cold but they seal as engine warms up. And your top 5 is spot on. Our Durango has 91k miles and its on its 3rd thermostat. I've had to replace both the oil cooler and driver side enpine mount. I didn't let the mount get as bad as in your video. I felt a weird slipping like sensation on acceleration. When pushing gas while in drive is when you could see engine lift a bit.

[@MrBullya]

I've heard collapsed lifters on the hemi like no tomorrow but not a 3.6.. it's weird

[@sherita4404]

Are you replacing the parts with the same type of lifters and camshaft with the ones used by the manufacturer? Or parts better than the manufacturer issued parts?

[@AlexTheCarDoctor]

I use the Melling brand.

[@meme2780]

The oil coolers usually go out from Lazy Mechanics and Kids at Oil change places using Impact guns on the cap. Rocker arms must be to thin oil. I have owned 5 Pentastar cars now 3 chargers, 2 in Durangos never a problem, Over 150,000 miles on 2, And well over 200k on the other 3. I live in Montana and the weather is cooler so I can only guess it has to be the cooler running engine keeping the oil temp lower. All the Ticking engines seem to be in Hot climates, And Dodge engineers have said it was designed for 5w-30 oil, Not the 5w-20.

I have never bought into the longer oil changes. At the end of the day you have alot of heat and alot of friction in an engine. No matter the alloys used. I bought a used jepp wrangler 6 months ago and have been changing the oil every 3000 miles. Plus i had the ol' oil housing leak so it got an extra oil change for the miles. I've always done my oil changes when required or slightly earlier due to driving condition and never have had an engine failure in any vehicle I have ever owned. CHANGE YOUR DAMN OIL!
