I'm glad to get varied content each day keep it up.
Do not let the dealer slide with a gotdamn thing. You need to go back and demand your money for the gotdamn service that probably wasn't even done. They probably didn't even know where that piece was in that footwell anyway. You make it hard for other people when you say that it's just life and stuff like that happens. F*** that. What about the person that gave their last and has to wait until next payday? This is why these fake-ass mechanics feel comfortable with overcharging people and robbing people. It's people like you that's willing to let it slide that is not doing nobody else in the community a favor. Why are you teaching people that it's okay to be taken advantage of and robbed? We want to see Justice. Go back there and demand your money back for the services that was apparently not rendered.😐😐😑😠😠😠
I think you should keep the dart for awhile daily driver
@@topangaangelle I agree Dealers are not what they use to be I got a freind son at how works at a Chevy Dealer and everything is timed out of a book . This job schould take so long and Parts if they go over mechanic loss . They schould asked what was what you did and all you did is Swap it out and it fixed the schould said something about the replace or Swapping the unit a new one pris $$$$
The air dam is known as an active shutter to warm up the car faster and to help maintain the proper temps with minimum radiator fan operation. But your right, its probably too complex for what it does. As far as the dealership goes, their mechanics are not necessarily up on every programmable device on these cars and are not given time to learn on the clock. No excuse but...
My logic says a transmission shouldn't need a computer to function.
But, I'm old.
You know all computers have a "shift" key......LOL
highly ILLOGICAL! Prefer an auto trans, people call me SHIFTLESS anyway
You're old alright
My logic says a diesel motor shouldn't need one and a tank of smurf pee (DEF) either to run. Yes It cut emissions but made them more un economical in some cases. Then also way more unreliable when the system has a fit for some reason, and it goes limp mode or won't run at all. They ran for years and auto trans shifted good without one to ! If you are old I'm only 45 !
@@gertraba4484 you prefer an automatic????
These Darts are notorious for serious DDCT issues. They were rushed to production and need work usually. Very similar issues with the Ford Focus, Fiesta and anything with the DP6 or 6F15.
I have the 6F24 6 speed auto in my 2014 Dodge Dart as it has on occasion acted up in a minor way in reference to the transmission indicator not lighting up in the Reverse Mode while not paying attention & once in the Drive mode every position on the transmission is lit up in RED! It doesn't seem to do it anymore! Otherwise I have enjoyed my Dart quite a bit!
I hate to say it Randy, but this is a prime example of why we don't take cars to the dealerships for any kind of work, I've been a self taught mechanic for 15 years and not once has any of our cars been to a dealer ever, liked very much your vid, full view, let them ads roll in their entirety, you should take your shop lift down to Mikes and work out something with him for using his shop , just a thought is all
So basically the dealership didn't do crap. Stay away from there I guess
Quality customer service unfortunately these days is to be desired! Chrysler needs to improve its image! Lee Iaccoca was the last true CEO that Chrysler Corporation had back in the 70's!
Glad to see you are getting back more "rebuilding". I appreciate your humbleness and the fact you put thought into doing something good for people of lesser means not just making a quick buck. Shows you are a caring and compassionate soul. Great job Randy!
Man I'm going to call you Randy the mechanic from now on lol
Don't know about dodge but that Nissan Altima I had the transmission replaced in took about 45 miles before it would shift right.
Randy, this is where your channel shines. You help newbies like me understand the rebuild game from a real prospective. You had a situation with the dart and you slayed the problem from observation and common sense which anyone starting off can apply. This video also taught me to trust my judgement because I may have more of an invested interested than any stranger. I like when you produce lessons experienced and learned content. Great Job
Randy is a very dedicated and hard working mechanic as his videos depict! He rebuilds a car as if he is going to own and drive the car himself!
Your content never bores me Randy. I've been a subscriber for about a year and a half now and you're inspiring me to start working on copart vehicles.
This has been one of my favorite videos in a long time, keep up the great work man!
Great content, Randy! I have been praying for things to work out for you. Thanks for facing and overcoming situations...you are very inspiring! Peace!
dont all control modules have to be programmed to the vin of the car to work correctly?
Every time a swap happens, this needs to be programmed
Yelp your right. That's why hes having a problem. You cant tal any one computer control module and swap to another car. They are code programmed. Meaning once the car is turned on and goes through its scanning process and doesn't find the right codes. Your screwed... Smh Randy you should do some research Bro...
@@beachbro8559 you mean VIN code verified as a matching TCM in this case?
@@johnbeckham1483 👍
I work for Dodge that's a lie whoever told you that is not true
Yelp took Randy's money.....smh I hate machanics.
That’s what every says
That's just what I thought to, they are just blowing customers off to get rid of them. That really bugs me to.
@Edward Martinez👍 I believe all are. Just be up front. Just saying...
@@beachbro8559 I know a lot of good mechanics..I've worked in the field , noone I know rips anyone off..leave it to say dodge dealer to be a selfish, ignorant ass ripping ppl off
You might be able to get the clips at O'Riellys. I bought a pack of them for my Ford Focus fuel filter connections.
Thanks I have learned so much watching your content.
Hey Randy, that “air dam” is actually a vent that allows the engine to heat up faster in colder climates. Once the engine gets up to temperature the vents open to let the cooler air in. My 928 S4 has the same thing and I had to replace mine. Unless your living in freezing temps you don’t need it.
Randy, I'm inclined to agree with you. When you got the car back it should have worked perfectly. The guy at the dealership is blowing smoke up the tail pipe as far as I'm concerned.
i will have to agree with you on that because what if your rack actully goes bad and have to replace it,there HAS to be a way for a replacement one to be programed
Knowledge is power!
Great job, stay strong and focused, I've been thinking about getting a 2016 Dart to drive back and forth from work. Thanks for the Dart content.
Keep doing the great job as always👍
You have super human patience. The best of luck to you and your team.
👍 my man randy ! Keep up the great work brother enjoy your channel a lot.
Love when transmission issues are that easily fixed. My 2004 Chrysler Pacifica doesn't have a TCM, the PCM does everything. Didn't know what gear it was in when I bought it, so it had no cruise control or autostick and shifted really poorly. And the PCM is VIN coded to the vehicle, so there was no just swapping it. I had to have a used PCM custom programmed to the car before it worked right.
Always working, you are, Randy. First off, those fuel line locking clips ARE available to us here in CT in individual packages from CARQUEST now Advance Auto - FYI. Wish I could have sent you some.
Glad you got the trans working and appreciate you manner of bringing that information to all of us. Very good explanation and whatever you say, you always show and prove. Good logic on your part and I find it IMPORTANT. Congrats to you as you are on vacation right now and I'm viewing your videos in backward order but love all you do. God bless! Sonny (CT)
It's because the computer needs to be reprogramed. It won't ever shift right until it's programmed
I bet the dealer programed it by the vin code and specs of the computer of the black car and not of the blue car.
@@JUST_ONE_ID10T he got the serial #'s off the black Trans/motor cpu and used that top program this car which had a diff part #
@@papikabi I would keep the version 2 since it works. Program it if it throws a code. Just tape the some information to the case so the next person poking around in there knows which car it came out of.
Putting in work brother. You know more about dodge than me after working on this bad boy for so long. I'm going to have to start coming to you for repair questions :) keep up the good work, love watching all your videos especially copart walk around
Feel free man!!
Thank you brother, hey I'm sure you probably did the research but just wanted to say that when it comes to clips and harnesses you can find them way cheaper at amazon or ebay compared to the dealership. I was fixing the engine on a honda fit and air cowl on the front windshield broke all the clips which is a common thing on newer Honda's. The dealership wanted $5.75 per clip and the car needed 9 of them.....ridiculous. so I found the same ones on amazon but stronger material. Ran me $14 for 90 clips, blew me away as to how much I saved.
No kidding as I have learned so much about my personal 2014 Dodge Dart SXT because of watching Randy's videos indeed! Thanks, Randy! I enjoyed watching you spray paint the Dart's bumper with WB Weird Blue!
Great video, interesting and informative keep up the good work ☺
Glad You Got it Back Up Running Again. Keep on Keeping on.
What a transformation on that Jetta! Can't wait to see and update on that.
Nice work once again Randy
The Jetta has come out really well. I look forward to seeing a video about it :)
Love to see work getting done!!!
To be honest, I arent surprised the clip fell apart, petrol melts super glue.... and dont ask me how I know that haha
I guess you've tried it, or something similar yourself since you know :D
@@danishghostrider Before I was a qualified technician, I tried to fix a Fuel filler by super gluing a slightly smaller pipe inside it..... failed miserably... and dumped nearly a half tank of fuel onto the motorway.
@@admiralalcatraz6080 And nothing caught on fire?
@@danishghostrider No, although if I had left it...
@@admiralalcatraz6080 Good thing nothing serious happened
Wow! Improved content. Thumbs up Randy!
The lagging was because of the transmission,it was the fuel lines not providing enough fuel to the injectors
Good job done man, quite productive video.
Truely love what you do. Saving cars for those who would otherwise not afford a nice reliable car. Glad to see you still doing the everyday cars rather than the out of reach supercars, nothing against them but yours are more practical. Sad to hear you might be closing down the shop though as I see the lift and all is very helpful for you.
Great video! Keep them coming.
Now this is the good stuff keep up the great content
Morning. Wow, glad to see the sun is shining there!
The sun is nice but the clouds are returning and more rain on Sunday for the OKC Metro.
Ugh, that means we will probably get it late Sunday, into Monday!
The computer needs to relearn the clutch thicknesses of the new transmission the old one nay of been more worn. The computer learns as you go various speeds driving daily and updates itself to the new thicknesses.. i hope that makes sense lol.
Shows you how much the dealer knows...and does....sheesh
I love the dart, don’t want that dart content to stop lol. You should customize and do a build on the dart
Nice to see you getting back to to what made your channel popular.
Randy , you’re videos are fabulous & even though i’m not in U.S .
I still love them
“My names not uberman” I chuckled
This was an excellent video, thank you. I hope you can keep the shop, but as soon as I heard ‘occupancy permit’ a chill ran down my spine. Here in Austin that is a medium to big deal.
Great video, good to see the Dart cleaned up and on the road. That VW is a nice looking car also.
Most of the time the TCM is coded to the transmission, so if you had the wrong tcm on it wont shift correctly. See it quite often.
What... A Dodge with transmission issues!?!?!? That never happens.
@@braaapattack2937 who said anything about Ford or Chevy? Chrysler transmissions are shit, no debating that
Tank the dealerships survey and complain with corporate. They will have to give you your money back. I work in the automotive field and when customers tank surveys, customer service is priority
It's called an adaptive learning transmission. It adapts to the way you drive. My powerstroke is the same way.
Mind must think that I am an old lady! LOL!!!
Great video. I like the blue bumper.
Me too but I have been wanting a car in that blue color!
I rebuilt a 2015 Chrysler 200 S i had to put a whole new driveline into it and it didnt wanna drive. when i did that i found out there was a computer that was mounted on the transmission that is on top rear facing near the firewall on the casing. After i swapped it with the original one it worked great. Hope this can help you. But by the video it seems like it got straightened out.
Great news about the Dart. Looking forward to more info about the Jetta and the Equinox .
Back to the roots, excellent 👍👍🥳
I don't believe the dealership knows what they are doing Randy. I'm not a dodge guy, but honestly the BS story they gave you on the TCM would lead me to call BS on the rack and pinion issue. I'd check with another dealership or even another "senior" technician at the dealership you went to. Are you telling me that 5 years in the future if someone had to change a failed component they'd need to live with the light on the dash ? I'm calling BS.
I believe that a big part of the problem at these car dealerships with Dodge being involved for the moment is that the management teams at the dealers need to offer more training on their respective cars to the technicians plain and simple!
Well done on diagnosing your problems man, you did well! That motor needs a bloody clean haha
Keep fighting the good fight Randy lol. Awesome video and glad the dart is almost there.
Love it when a plan comes together 👍🏻
Great job Randyyyyy! The Jetta looks awesome! Since you’re going to remove the font bumper to install the air thingy lol, give the undercarriage a wash and get rid of all that clay and on the engine compartment. Keep up the good work !
This was a great one. Thanks.
and on the topic of dealerships: "Stealerships" - Goonzquad 2018. lol
I am happy that you fixed the transmission
Newer cars come with too much unnecessary complicated crap.
Its a profit tactic. More things to break= more money in their pockets
Agreed. You don’t have to reprogram a TH400, 727 tourqueflite, C4-6. They are also cheap as dirt to rebuild//replace.
New cars are disposable appliances just like new dishwashers that only last 5-8 years.
Maybe bring it to a different dealer, or a transmission specific shop, and get a second opinion.
Wellp, guess the trans worked out with the tcm lol. I'd still get a second opinion from a second dealership about the steering rack though
My mom drives a Dodge Dart it’s part of a fleet and that 350$ cover for the under carriage fell off going down the highway
That thing is a pos my mom's came off too and was dragging all down the road every time she hit a bump. Now she gotta take it in for a recall on the trans
It's a dodge....of course it is....I thought maybe..they actually got better....I realized I was wrong though
Now that computer will work with the other transmission if that other transmission is still good from the other car
The right module for the right transmission always makes things right
Glad you fixed it 😀
The dealer ships or the biggest crooks on the planted thats how they make 80percent of there money its not from car sales like most people think
Partially true!
I've been a carsalesman at a dealership (luckily a decent one) and the first thing my collegue told me was the fact that they didn't make that much on sales (I saw the numbers, those are really small margins!). Most of what they make comes from servicing and repairs!
Though granted, there are a lot of dealerships that will screw you over, if that will make them an extra buck!
You need to pay attention and be careful.
Nice car, that engine bay needs a good washing.. Glade things are starting to get better for you.
Glade things are
The dealer charged you for a repair but you got an education. For the prices on the belly pan and air dam it seemed worth looking on the used market for those.
The belly pan under the engine obviously serves a purpose in the aerodynamics of the Dart as it buttons up the bottom of the engine offering protection and there are separate openings for your oil drain & oil filter replacement! The belly pan is vented as well...
Its a Fiat with a Dodge label (fix it again Tony)
Alpha Romeo this car is actually...Like GM/Ford they are mis matched these days..
Chevrolet Cruze is an Opel !!!
The Chevy Equinox suv he just bought has a engine made in China and transmission in Japan unless its a 6 speed then its a Ford-GM trans !!!
Camaro was based on the Holden platform,now changed ...just upgraded.
Thats why Chrysler and Fiat got together,Fiat small cars Chrysler large cars ,larger suv's and trucks !
Dodge Charger/Challenger/300 are all Chrysler..The so called Mercedes parts were rear suspension design from the 2004-2009 Mercedes,not a drop in uniy but design,made larger for those cars..As of 2015 no Mercedes parts are on the cars..They used the 5 speed trans until 2014..But today nobody has their own transmission,sure Chrysler makes the 8 speed but its a ZF design..Oddy some people think the 2005-2010 Charger/300 were on a Mercedes platform,not so..rear suspension design and seat frames and steering wheel column were all that was Mercedes...Not to emtion the numerous Mercedes that were based on Chrysler/Dodge vehicles..even their V6 is based on Chrysler's Petastar V6..
Its all a mixed bag today..Toyota used Subaru,BMW,Mazda cars redesigned as a Toyota...Ford-VW now has an Alliance,so those will be shared platforms and vehicles..Its not 1970 anymore when GM was GM,Ford was Ford and Chrysler was Chrysler,back then you could tell what engine they had by hearing them start up ,idle or drive by..Even GM/Ford,Chrysler had their own unique starter sound,you could tell what they were by hearing them !! Today all bullcrap same starters made by the same company !
Ford /GM 10 speeds are a joint venture..It will be funny to see Ford guys see a 10 speed Chevy truck with a blown trans and say Chevy trucks are junk because of the trans,yet their Ford has the same trans lol...The world isnt like it was,too bad !
Lol

@@01trsmar I know but its not cool like an Alfa it is all the same company with poor engineering.
@@guod1973 ..This cars issues have nothing to do with poor engineering....Modern cars you do engine swaps you get tons of codes and issues,he solved the trans issue from the trans tcu..car broke down because of fuel line,that he knew about..Oh well.
You got ripped off by a dealer? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!
Can’t wait for the next video
Great job!
That Jetta came out beautiful great job
GOOD VIDEO KEEP IT UP DOING GOOD
Great work on the Dart. The Jetta is beautiful.
On the power steering rack, the one from the black car was underwater and I believe is electronic. My guess is it maybe bad (maybe not), but before you go through pulling the old one I would see if it can be tested. Maybe there is a computer module you can swap out on the rack without pulling the whole thing ??
Hi sorry to here you have had big problems but glad you are getting it done nigel
excellent content
Lol you can buy the clips at AutoZone. Quick connect clips they have them
The grill paddles help on cold mornings to warm the car up,I have them on my 2011 mondeo they close on start up and as the car warms up they open up to let air flow through the radiator
I was in a similar situation with my Ford Fiesta. Car was having trouble shifting, turns out the computer that helps shift the transmission needed a update. Took a few hours for it to work properly, but it did fix it.
That is true I had the same issue with my 2018 Acura when I was having shifting issues from previous owners driving habits. The problem went away after 1000 miles. Same for Mercedes.
Hope you can recover your money on the Dart great content we all make minor mistakes now and then sorting them out and getting it all running well is a great result
Thank God the active grill shutters on my 13 Rallye were under warranty when they broke.
I hope that you rebuild another Dodge Dart in the very near future, Randy!
So glad you got that equinox
Fords have active shutters on the front for aerodynamics too. I'm guessing modern cars are optimized for maximum efficiency. My 2006 Azera had plastic troughs on the bottom for aerodynamics. Unfortunately, they were poorly engineered and cracked and fell down while I was driving. What a racket. Easily removed with a 10mm socket and handle, they are but a memory. Keep the videos coming Randy!
All transmissions are electronically controlled now in newer vehicles and as another comment said yes it's an adaptive shift which means it will take time to adjust to how you drive
Damn Chrysler sure likes to tag everything under the hood like a bad dog marking his territory smh
You are freaking AWESOME! Thank you! I have a Dodge Dart and it’s having TCM and it’s connectors issues from corrosion from being flooded as well.. dealership wants $1,700 to fix.. 🥺 I’m trying to educate myself before I attempt to fix myself (yes I know it has to be programmed and I plan on a plug and play) so any advise would be great.. I disconnected the battery and waited an hour before getting TCM out witch I did the one bolt but it’s not sliding out of the bracket as easy as I thought.. maybe I’m missing a bolt??
Clean the connectors with WD-40 Specialist Electrical Contact spray & make sure that you have it grounded with that front bolt per Randy's video! If the TCM isn't damaged from the flood waters most likely you can reuse the original TCM!
Nice work
Those DDCT transmissions like to be driven hard because it's technically a manual transmission. It needs to relearn as well. Drive it hard in manual or sport mode (if it has that).
That "Air damn" is a thermostatic feature. It controls the amount of air coming into the radiator/cooler area to optimize temperature. That's why the check engine light comes on. Not aerodynamics. Big rigs use this as well. My 1930 Franklin had it, but it was an air cooled car.
I got my clips from our local NAPA auto parts for my car
The white plastic horse shoe clip should be at most parts stores. Look at a Dorman/help/autograde multi-clip assortment package. Also your pcm may need programed to the VIN. Some shops can do that, outside of dealerships.
I bought those same clips for my car at Auto zone they have a wids selection
