I really like your delivery and awesome camera shots, giving us a no BS tutorial on anything you make a vid for...Thanks so much!
Thanks! I enjoy the editing and what goes on behind the camera that most people never notice in the final cut. Appreciate you noticing
I save myself lots of money watching your videos
Always glad to share what I know
That's why I love your channel because you explain everything in detail.
Some say in toooo much detail lol. I’m glad you enjoy and I appreciate the feedback.
Welcome back David…nice to see you again….👏👏👏👏👏👏
I pretty much have made more videos this year already when compared to the whole of last year. More coming
David, I appreciate the level of organization in that toolbox. 5S all the way! Great video as always.
I can’t take credit for that…..that tool box rarely gets used….if only you seen my roll cart you would be shocked, but hey….i know where everything is in it 😂
I have a bunch of seal drivers from the plumbing department at Home Despot. Thanks for the tip. (Thats what she said)
David Pike, you sir, make one of the absolute best how to automotive videos.
Thanks man! The feedback is much appreciated
I just did this repair yesterday. I found a short 1/2 drive 1 inch impact socket on a 1/2 drive 6 inch extension worked perfectly. (After I ruined 1 seal)
Keep up the great work. Some of the best content out there!
Luckily I have many extras so I could finally figure a simpler way to replace them and not damage them as well lol
Watched a vid . You are the only mechanic that explains things . Thnx
Great video Dave,, thx for saving the consumer some cash .

Great video as always MCM

Thanks for this, we have to replace this seal on our '17 Wrangler, brilliant idea with the PVC pipe!
Take your time and you shouldn’t have any issues. Appreciate you watching
Is it possible the camshaft position sensor code on a ‘16 wrangler is really just about a faulty seal and not the sensor itself ? Thanks and I’m

This guy rock solid keep up bro
Man, wish I had this two months ago. No leak as far as I can tell but it looked warped going in. Thanks.
If it ever does leak you now know what to do. Hopefully it will be fine
Really good thinking solid on the money tips. Thank you
It’s hard to make and I don’t want to waste it lol. I like keeping my money when I can

Awesome tip!!

You a life saver
Great idea, thanks 👍😁
Your welcome and thank you
Great tip. I've done plenty of work on these engines but that cam position sensor seal has always been a PIA and cost me time
For the longest while I caught hell as well. Until one day when I had nothing to do I just sat down and made myself figure it out. Thanks for watching!
That's awesome thank you!!
Your welcome!
I really like your videos even tho I have the lifetime max Mopar warranty on my 2014 journey 152k but still waiting on the abs module ( internal failure) to come back in stock, since they are backorder everywhere
Is the abs module a recall item ?
Mines is leaking. Will be replacing seals soon. Thank you
Great videos and info. Question. I'm dealing with a P0394. Happens only at speeds above 65mph. Cam sensor was replaced. I'm thinking the phasers on bank 2 is the issue. Note I can't calibrate the cam sensors either. Runs great till the higher speed. Then it lacks like a misfire. You would swear it was a coil or a plug. Jeep has 192000 miles on it. I'm gonna do that phaser lock test next. Have you seen this? Ed
Friend, excellent video, a question, My 2009 Dodge Journey, 3.5 awd, I put the gears on the selector and it doesn't move even with the wheels raised, if it marks the changes on the dashboard, it doesn't make strange noises, I was checking better and yes I have some codes, I have active p0585, and stored p0716, p0791, p0721, the oil has a good level and is not burned, what could it be?
Tky😊
Thank you as well!
nice
Much appreciated
Hello Dave, can I ask you about the Ram /Cummins Recall 67A
Can you do a video on this issue ? I’m hear that the dealer will reflash the ecm with a new program and so far what I have been hearing is the it’s basically calibration of the def to burn more of it.
I enjoy the videos you post and been following you since I got my 2017
2500 Ram. Would like to hear your opinion on this recall.
damn. no wonder the one that I replaced still has wetness around it 😐 Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome and thanks for watching.
Great video and great explanation of how and why it needs to be done a certain way
Thanks for watching!
Of course it requires a special tool. It's a Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram :)
My current dilemma is my 2014 Ram 1500 front differential. Turns out that the splines on the right side of the diff are corroded to the point they are destroying CV axles. The intermediate shaft can only be serviced with a diff rebuild so the shop offered me a $3000 repair. I declined until I have to come up with an new plan.
👍👍
Awesome video man thanks.
Wondering should I replace both as preventative maintenance? There's no leak nor a OBD fault code to replace the sensor(s). I have everything broke down and open due to replacing the oil filter cooler....sitting at 160K miles and I don't want to take the chance to turn around and break everything back down again.
I did mine by hand
👍👍👍
Are Pentastars after 2018 like this too?
I've found silicone grease makes seal installation go easily as well
On that seal I always worry it might make it hard to stay in place and easy to “pop” out…..I do lube open the center of the spark plug tube seals to help the valve cover going back on
@@MotorCityMechanic that's a good point! I ended up purchasing a Mopar long block last year and had to swap all accessories over so I decided to replace all seals on the valve cover with new OE. Silicone grease was my best friend. I ended up putting the vvl solenoids on backwards and caught it from oil leakage so it can be easily done! Thanks for the video! All of yours are outstanding!
@@brianw.520 I appreciate the kind words and again….thanks
Should we do a relearn after messing with the position sensors or uppers on a 3.6? Whats your opinion?
Thanks for all your videos!
You don’t have too…..is say that because if have never had an issue when I didn’t but it wouldn’t hurt
What? It's not a plug and play type of sensor replacement?
@@Kiddro22 its job is to learn where what the cam shaft position is…..so the position of the sensor and how it’s made could affect how accurate it is if “just install” without using the scanner to perform the relearn procedure. Does it have to be done or it won’t work…..no. Would it be more accurate if you did the relearn…..yes. Depends on what equipment you have as far as scanners
@@MotorCityMechanic I understand. I don’t have no scanner of any sort. I have everything open due to replacing the oil filter cooler @ 160k. But don’t want to have to open things back up 10k miles down the road to a thrown code for the sensor(s)
Dav…should we replace the camshaft sensor or how to know if its needs to replaced what’s the issue….
I don’t see enough failures to justify replacing until it actually goes bad. Typically you have a check engine light related.
@@MotorCityMechanic ok thank you and have a nice day…
Would adding some grease\oil or silicone lube be advisable?
Personally I wouldn’t. It needs to be tight fit for it to stay in place
Dumb question but can they go on any side of the motor i mixed mine up
If that sensor is GUNKED up then you know you have other issues to take care of
Very true!
I need help 2015 3.6 jeep checking for spark 3 2 4 6 spark all the time while 1 and 5 spark only one time why
I please need help got a plug I can't get out it's not tight stripped I get and oil is around the plug in the #6 cylinder.
May need some long nose needle nose pliers or a antenna type magnet
Первый!
