Someone should get Scott Fisher to chime in. He lead the FCA Global Cam Kinematics COE before he was the supervisor for the FCA Valvetrain 6 & 8 cylinder engines. Hmm, I wonder if they had engineers at the Cam Kinemaics COE https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-fisher-875b9614b

It wasn’t an engineer

Toss it out and call them wrong. But just remember the cam engineers - like the oil engineers - are infallible

The question is - Do they make 0W-50?? Re-refined, of course

Shadowspapa, what would you think about everybody using re-refined 0W-40 oil? 🤯

I think we’ve all operated out vehicles outside of the engineers’ specs without precipitating calamity. Expeditors in Promasters using the pre-PUG Pentastars easily get 600k miles out of their engines. I suspect few of them change oil before the monitor tells them to and many of them exceed the...

OP, don’t take it personally. Shadowspapa hasn’t been this angry and verbose since the last oil thread. But that was days ago so you probably won’t see him repeat this behavior on a different thread anytime today to everyone else, it would be interesting to learn the highest miles on reliable...

I wonder what improvements are in the AB replacement. And I wonder if this is truly the fix. For the prior Pentastar‘s tick, the replacement parts got all the way up to AH.

As a result of the Chicken Tax

Move to Indiana. $164/month for electric and gas combined for a 12-month budget in a 2,400 sq ft house. We have a hybrid….er, or is it an EV….oh wait I think it’s really a golf cart…I’ll have to check…artificially inflating the electric cost.

maybe Stellantis should start to think deeper about the psychology of trying to attract younger buyers. Each time I go to my dealer, I find I’m toe-tapping to a playlist clearly aimed at 60+ year olds which must act like the Mosquito Alarm on those potential younger buyers. maybe that interweb...

I suddenly have new retirement plans 💵💵💵

you must not have read what I posted ill spell it out for you it took FCA 7 tries to fix the older engine’s problems. The Promaster users of the older engines drive a lot of miles and have data to know the AH fixed it how do we know the replacement parts used in the newer engines will...

I’m wondering if the new parts will fix the issue in this engine. And I’m wondering when will we know they fix it on the wrong engine I shared, it took to the AH version before a fix was fixed since the Promaster is often used by expediters, often a lot of miles are quickly put in rebuilt...

when precisely did the AH rockers get deployed? I’m sure you know

I had a similar issue. Most folks said the nuts are completely unnecessary. But since I go to Chicago I would prefer the security. I bought a hinge and 8 new nuts from the dealer - I don’t recall the cost but it was cheap. I also bought paint but since my JT is granite crystal metallic, I’m not...

No Alta Vista or Ask Jeeves either?

I wasn’t going to answer until I saw the OP was being criticized…

Took the front doors off for the first time in a few years, sad that it has been so long The lower nut wasn’t there. And the hinge’s thread broken off. See picture should I replace the hinge? Do I even need the nuts? I assume someone I let use it over tightened it - what is the proper...
