It’s obviously water cooler banter spoken by someone other than the technicians performing the shop hours, but it is none the less someone who sees and hears the number of owners coming through with echoing complaints/concerns. Honestly, whether its 1/20 or 1/1,000 it means none the difference...

Service manager told me there’s a nationwide shortage of parts and it’s just a matter of the shop you take it too; whether they have some on hand or not. Those dealers who do don’t barter or sell to others cause they know they’ll eventually need them. As far as resourcing for self repair I’ve...

I took it to the dealer and was told the sound is most likely injector knock. They did offer to look at it but would need to keep for 5-7days. The service manager gave the percentage of “One out of every twenty vehicle with the 3.6L is a lemon.” Then went on to tell me about how a recent owner...

I wish it were haha. Owned numerous 3/4 and 1 ton towers and this is not that. Good ol 3.6 ticky tacky. Changed oil and filter today to look for shavings and found numerous in the filter media. Off to the stealer tomorrow for diagnostics.

This is what mine sounds like and I just did the first oil change since buying it in January with 14k miles(changed at 19.5k miles). I also saw no oil deposits on the valve covers and today when I opened the hood now see it over both valve covers with observed seeping from the sensor at front of...

what would be additional symptoms of this? I thought I heard the “ticking” and when I opened the hood I notice oil residue over both valve covers.

Hi Jcartwright, is this in regards to the need for the rocker, lifter, cam replacement due to the dreaded pentastar tick issue? How did you know when it was happening? I bought a certified used Mojave with 14.5k miles in January and I’m worried I may have the issue now with 20k on the odometer.
