hey mat, would you rather..... a) customer hand you the keys, and go back in the house and wait till your done b) customer hover over you and talk you to death while you diag there car c) doesn't matter
I thought you must lift. I've seen mechanics and farmers with big forearms but your upper arms surprised me. Now it makes sense Impressed you work blue collar and still make time for it. Respect.
He bought it used weeks later he blew a rod,likely the previous owners knew it had issues.. He repaired the rod in the old engine and boom again,wasnt done properly.. He then bought a used engine and they always lie about the mileage when you buy a used engine..We bought a so called 75,000 Honda engine but we found it it was 230,000 miles and on its last legs,it was shot... 3.6 Dodge engines are reliable,I worked on many with over 200,000 miles that were original..I am a former Toyota Tech,now working on my own,multi make..Toyota's new have engine issues,research the new 3.5 V6 in Tundra and Lexus..also oil burning since 2010 they knew of their bad piston rings that destroy engines.
I’ve been doing diagnostics I’m still fairly new in this industry N you be answering all my questions it kinda sucks when you don’t have the proper equipment to fix or diagnose someone’s car it like missing opportunities 😩 people don’t understand it soo much stuff that can go wrong on the car
I bought a 2007. Never an engine issue. But everything else rotted and fell apart in 5 years. Never again will I buy a dodge. I spent so much time replacing failed parts.
My parents had several Dodge Caravans and they were notorious for having transmission issues. So much so that when one of theirs went out,only 1 out of 18 junkyards/ pull-a-parts my dad called even had a transmission.So with there literally being only 1 transmission available out of 18 different junkyards doesn't clearly prove the transmissions in those vans go bad constantly, I don't know what does.Not only that,but once the shop got it installed, they had to pull it back out because one of it's parts not working and the part couldn't be replaced without pulling it.BTW,they didn't charge my dad extra for having to pull it to replace that part either,so they were not just making that up for the purpose of charging additional labor.So yeah,for anyone considering buying a used Dodge Caravan,be aware before you buy,that they may develop trans issues.I believe my parents vans were 2006 & 2012 models.
That van looks like a Town and country and my buddy had a similar problem couldn't get it started or take it out of gear when you push in the button when you break down in order to move it. Ended up being a fuse that controls the brain and the transmission
take them to court with a serious poker face. also to check for recalls. maybe its time to cut your loss and have them pay for a brand new car engine etc for severa; years till it relives the problem.
I had one the other day. There is a known bad fuel pump relay issue. Of the battery light is illuminated and it’s a crank no start. It needs a bypass in the cab bus at the fuel pump relay. I have a video on my channel. It’s a pretty crazy issue. I do t have time to watch the whole video but these Chrysler have this issue all the time. It can affect several other issue in the can bus…. 🤷♂️. Just a thought I had. Live your videos bruh.. keep it up. I deal with the same issues all day. By the end of my comment. It’s probably several issue in that can bus area…I take the whole thing apart and clean them and it should work?? Give it a shot…. I bet the PCM is not making a good connection at the can bus…
@@IsThatHuncho TCM programming makes 0 sense 😉 They can say whatever they want. Started before engine job, won't start post engine job. Plus the evidence captured in the video. TCMs just don't mysteriously deprogram.
What kind of pos stiffs the mechanic if he actually fixed your car? Dude some people are garbage, when i was younger i would've went and my money one way or another, but i grew up and we don't act like that anymore
I know it was not the issue here, but to save a lot of time and frustration in the future, especially on a vehicle from which the engine has been out....ALWAYS CHECK THE GROUNDS as the very first step!
So Here's the deal, 😂that Chrysler Dodge Minivan has the Pentastar 3.6 and those aside from the Cam phaser issue or whatever they were recalled and class action sued for are fairly reliable engines. Im a Toyota Sienna guy and ill admit that but the Pentastars flaws again aside from the Valve train prob, stems from Chrysler quality issues, bad TPMS namely fuel pump relay and over fit finish and little things. Blown rods short block issues doesnt seem to make sense
did you make sure all the tcm connections were connect correctly? if he put the engine in he might have mixed up some connections on the harnesses or left one undone
Full program not just adaptive learning.? I have a 500 dollar scan tool but it will only do adaptive learning. How much did that program cost you and was it a annual cost for that program or one time payment . Ford wants 275 bucks for like 2 days to use the program what shit can't even fix my own vehicle. Anyways love the videos
Those vans are reliable, I maintain a fleet of RAM Tradesman cargo vans aka Dodge Grand Caravan same vans but with no windows and custom cargo interiors..They have 50,000 to 360,000 miles on them,a fleet of 18 vans always in my shop for routine maintenance, nothing major.Waterpump and radiator on a couple high mileage vans and 2 needed rocker arms besides that pretty reliable for fleet vans.. Catch it early and easily repaired and not expensive(less than a engine replacement if you keep driving and ignoring it). Remember people buy used vehicles and not always but more than often lower priced used vehicles have issues that are hidden, and people with less money buy them and get problems.I know how that is thus I became a certified tech.I worked at Toyota for 18 years and yes new Toyota's have issues,easily search it throughout the years its all on the internet.Yes,I also have a Toyota and other brand cars..
Had a vehicle come in exactly like this, vehicle got towed in car won’t crack. Noticed that the computer is not recognizing that the transmission is on park, run some codes, every single fucking codes popped up, went and check the wiring, come to find out the customer got the motor replaced couple days ago and when he got it back the transmission is slipping, well when I checked the harness I noticed that the main plug on the tranny is kinked, wiggled it then boom the whole plug come loose, basically the dude that put the motor got too rough with plugging the harness for the tranny and fucked the plug on the valve body. And basically rtv the plug so he don’t get in trouble for running the plug on the valve body 😅
It is a Nopar. There is another Ew Toober in the business that has a shop that ONLY "rebuilds" Nopar computers as a side hustle. That should be a big clue.
Toyota tech here for 18 years,they have issues too...He bought a high mileage used van that had issues,repaired poorly and thats what happens..Buy a used engine with 300,000 miles guess what,boom!
if i replaced a engine twice i would just get a whole new car before i did it again lol, or it must be one of those new cars that keeps eating oil til the engine dies, and they were all under warranty.
It's yet another Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Plymouth, Mercedes, Mopar thing!! Absolute cheap JUNK, the only letter missing is the 'y' at the end of Dodge🤣🤣
@@rustyshackelford5892 Very true, there's most likely a few unknown parts to this story. However, it's still quite possible with junky brands to have the first engine fail, then to get a junk 2nd hand/used replacement, then all of a sudden you're on to a 3rd engine. Even with the best intentions and diligent tests and checks prior to purchasing a used engine, you can't always tell conclusively how good it is and some sellers lie about condition and miles as well as they may not allow you to do much in way of checks + tests, or it may be a case of having to pay for it up front and then it's shipped to the buyer with a no warranty/no returns policy. Either way, some brand are just known to be unreliable cheap junk and it's best to just just avoid them altogether or cut your losses as soon a something goes wrong😁
I like how the customer starts the convo by using Matts signature statement 😂
He definitely knew what he was doing 💀💀😂
I would do the same thing 😂
That guy was actually his long lost dad lol
He hit you you with your own line! “So Here’s the deal”🤣
Matt you’re a solid man. No harm nor worries. Glad that coustumer has his car now.
He said “here’s the deal!” Lmao bro didn’t even laugh
Guys we absolutely all need to be sharing this channel there is no reason this guy shouldn’t have a million + subscribers on TH-cam!
Can't wait for you to hit a millions subscribers bro. You're awesome!
Love your videos man. One of the realest channels on TH-cam no doubt.
That sucks for people to not pay you Matt...
Karma will catch up to them.
Customer said here’s the deal 😂
hey mat, would you rather.....
a) customer hand you the keys, and go back in the house and wait till your done
b) customer hover over you and talk you to death while you diag there car
c) doesn't matter
Can't speak for Matt but I know which one I'd pick lol!🤷♂️🙆♂️🙋♂️
I aspire to be just like you Matt
Thank you for reposting that is actually an awesome that you followed up
this guys a bad ass for pulling his own motor 3 times
I thought you must lift. I've seen mechanics and farmers with big forearms but your upper arms surprised me. Now it makes sense
Impressed you work blue collar and still make time for it. Respect.
He pulls out engines without cranes for a living...that's gotta be it...😏
2003 Honda Accord V6. Same engine with 281,210 and still very smooth and fast
2019 with 3 motors? good lord man, learn your lesson and sell that dodge piece of junk
Dodge brand can suck with the seals oil leaks. I paid 3000.00 almost 200,000 miles can't really complain for a backup car but getting rid of it soon.
@@craftymulligar I had a ‘16 challenger back in the day that was already leaking from the rear main at 100k, never again lol

Damn why can't I find a mobile mechanic like you in Atlanta
Honestly, as long as Dodge keeps cranking out cars.... Mobile mechanics will NEVER be out of work.
Crazy. My 2007 Lexus V8 is as silent as a sewing machine. Transmission shifts like butter. Easily another 100k miles without issue

We like the follow up video's
Those 3.6L are dang near bullet proof...I had a '12 van that had 260k on it when i sold it...and is still going
Good follow up....!
Last minute of the video is the update…. Odd choice, but aight. Glad he rolling
Could it be a bad cam bus? Maybe they damaged a wire during engine swap... might be worth checking powers and grounds on TCM too.
Put your seat belt on. Lol
Dodge, the kind of car that needs a new engine every year
I wouldn't say engines, but transmissions yes.Well it really depends on the year, model & engine more than anything I guess??

Damn old didhwasher general electric.
yea Matt I only get repairs part time and subscription and test equipment has eaten a lot of profit at the beginning nobody ever talks about😊
An autel high end scanner should be able to reprogram the problem dodge. He needs to get rid of it.
So still only the second motor 😂🤦

Get rid of the money pit.
We have the Chrysler 2015 version of this. Never had this issue just that the transmission pump and leaky radiator as issues at 135k
Did you download TCM programs to your XTOOL? and where do you get them? Thanks
Take that thing to aamco they'll take care of it.

Plug was unplugged
If the trans was unplugged, prndl would be blank or they would be all lit up. Its showing it in reverse on the cluster with the shifter in park.
No shock on a fiat made pentajunk
Who knows why the TCM went out of sync. ?
That's why u don't buy dodge if the trucks are crap u know damn well the vans will be worse.
