This was sent to me from a buddy of mine still working at the dealership. Another shop replaced the oil filter housing on a 3.6L Pentastar and right afterwards it kept having a P0306 cylinder 6 misfire code. Customer brought it to the dealer and eventually he found the issue. Somewhere a tech at a local shop is wondering why his flashlight won’t stay clipped to his shirt pocket anymore 😂. Luckily no damage done…..just removed metal clip and put everything back together. Exact reason I shove paper towels in the open intake ports when ever the upper intake is removed.

I think today is a great day to play the lottery! I just knew that at least one bolt would break off on this Dodge Magnum 3.5L exhaust manifold being that everything else broke so why not this also….for my sake, luckily I was wrong. Talk about luck….end of the bolt was hanging on by a thread….how it didn’t break off inside the head I will never understand. #chrysler #dodge #jeep #ram #chryslertech #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife #luck #luckyday #buyingalotteryticket

Latest video is LIVE! Make sure to click the link to watch, share, and comment. I learned something new in this video that I have never seen before on the 3.2L/3.6L engines…..probably won’t be the last time.

2000 Toyota Avalon 3.0L with misfires on #2, #4, and #6 along with VVT solenoid code. Haven’t worked on too many Toyota’s but simple issue to diag and replace the left VVT solenoid. I know it’s not good for the car or the customers wallet but that red neon glowing exhaust/cat is soooooo cool to look at! It’s the little things that get my attention. #toyota #vvt #checkenginelight #moneylight #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife

When non-tool users take pics of using tools 😂. Was struggling with a hub bearing assembly today and decided to order a puller for the next one and came across this picture they included on the Amazon page. Not sure what they are wanting to accomplish other then possibly stretching the wheel studs 😜. #tools #toolporn #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife #amazon #nontoolpeople

How many people know what’s wrong with this picture? I made a few videos about this issue in the past and worked with Dorman Products back then to get them to make a simple and cheap fix for this issue instead of having to replace the entire oil filter housing on a 3.6L Chrysler Pentastar 1st Gen engine (2011-2013). Who knows how long this engine has been run with the oil not being filtered properly. Too many times this gets overlooked because those working on these vehicles dont know what to look for or that there’s even an issue. #carparts #autoparts #chryslertech #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife #dorman #dormanproducts #whatswork #whatsmissing

Finally working on another video…..about something new I learned today even after working on the 3.2/3.6 Pentastars for 12 years now. Something you may never see but important to check if you have certain cam shaft position sensor codes.

The Home Depot Husky metal cabinets are another favorite of mine. These things are built to last and very strong. Doors are double walled and shelves have a boxed frame. Just I had more room for more of them. Sometimes you luck out and find them on Facebook market place used. I have the Newage Products version in the office and they are very flimsy and just for looks mainly.

For $120…..this is still by far my favorite tool of 2022. Keeping things organized and off the floor makes things flow smoothly. I’m about ready to buy another…..this one has taken on a new roll of holding the parts for the upcoming jobs so that I have everything ready to go. #homedepot #tools #organization #ocd #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife #chryslertech #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner

Can’t believe it’s been 3 years already. Shop has never been this clean ever since. The sealer on the floor took a beating but again it wasn’t made to hold up to what I do or the brake clean and small fuel spills here and there over time. I still laugh at the Forward lift stickers the installers placed upside down….took awhile before it was noticed 😂. #forwardlift #tools #shop #carshop #mechanic #mechaniclife #garage #garagelife #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #onemanshow
