Yes, I can hear the arc/spark from the coil...Kenny, you might have saved that car's life! A little longer and it would of lost all it's oil and if that didn't get it, the coolant leak would of doomed it!
Amazing how many times a vehicle comes in for one issue and ends up with more problems. One can only wonder who is maintaining the vehicle earlier, if at all. Good video and great work.
Haha Kenny that's so funny about the elevator scene! What a classic movie! Change my mind!
Great finds Kenny. Whoever has been working on this vehicle in the past may very well be the problem. If you find someone as trustworthy as Kenny it is like finding a 'pot of gold' at the end of the rainbow. Nice work.
Engine rocking in bay due to bad motor mounts might have put tension on that hose.
I just watched another one of my UA-camrs who runs a Heavy Tow and Offroad Recovery business out West. He does a bunch of work for UHaul and they needed him to do a Long Haul tow on a box truck with Oil Pressure issues. When he pulled it out to load it on the flatbed, he got curious. It was just a loose oil filter dumping the vital fluids out. He tightened the filter and added oil to fix the issue. He lost a tow job that day but earned the trust of a customer who will keep sending him business and recommending him to others.
There are good guys out there, you just got to find one and keep him busy.

Juliette Jake!
Extractors are the bomb!
I acquired one a few years back. Boy! Did it make my oil changes a lot more convenient! Rather than taking an hour or two to pull out and set up the jack stands, I can just vacuum out the oil! An oil change now happens in a matter of minutes rather than hours.
Once a year, all the vehicle's are up on jack stands for other maintenance. And, when that happens, I refresh the oil filters.
I like the vacuum extraction ease so much, I pulled the oil pan off my 1993 Chevy C1500 to alter the slosh baffles and weld in some blocking plates to keep the extraction dip tube from hanging up. Well worth the effort!
Power steering fluid changes? Vacuum out, replace, run for a couple of weeks, repeat.
I should have gotten one years ago!
Really lovely videos, exactly how I like it 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Elevator music and some good nonsense as well 😎😁 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
No contest...Blues Brothers greatest movie of all time! Great video!
Totally agree about The Blues Brother's
Good job Kenny catching those problems
Love blues brothers!
I agree The Blues Brothers were Awsome.
9:16 Wonderful car to drive!
"Fireproof"
Best movie.
Jake and Elwood, no argument their! The ring clamps are better if used correctly because they give even 360° force. As worm clamps do not and damage the hose over time.
The motor mount is broken and the engine will torque and lift.. The engine will also crush the wire harness to the computer in the fender.

I agree with you, I think someone had it apart and put the clamp back on top of the bulge in the radiator not behind it. That's the only thing I can think of. As for replacing that wonderful spring clamp with a second rate worm clamp I wouldn't go that route. I have had worm clamps leak after a couple of years as the rubber under them shrinks. Spring clamps don't have that issue. If you are going to use a worm clamp I would use a constant tension one like they use on big trucks. Just my experience. Yes I could hear the coil arcing. Keep the good stuff coming.
the rubber actually didn't shrink, it was compressed. the plastic expands and put more pressure on the hose clamp. luckily it was just the hose and not the radiator that took the brunt of it. worm clamps and plastic nipples do not mix.
My Dad loved Blues Brothers
Back in the day I had a buddy with a VW Rabbit. The thermostat stuck, it got hot and blew coolant hose off.
WWK, have you ever used florescent dye to find leaks ? I recently used some to find a coolant leak..it made finding the leak so much easier..
It ended up being water pump o-ring on 5.7 hemi ..replace the pump since I had it off anyways.
Worn motor mounts will allow engine to tugg on hoses. Happened to our Pacifica.
8:36 When my daughter’s 06 Pacifica lost a serpentine idler bearing, I went ahead and changed the timing belt under the cover and the tensioner and water pump! The only tricky thing was getting the power steering pump out of the way adequately while trying to keep disassembly to a minimum!
Thanks for the great videos, Kenny!
One morning I walked out and saw a puddle of coolant under my old 89 Jeep Wrangler, turns out it blew the same lower radiator hose off the radiator for no apparent reason. I did the same fix, but since it had about 300,000 miles on it and I couldn't remember ever replacing the hose. I figured it was a message from God that it needed some maintenance, so I ended up replacing the radiator and both hoses.
something i have learned over time, springs clamps are used for a reason on plastic nipples. it's to maintain clamping pressure during thermal expansion. a worm clamp cannot do this and will stress the plastic leading to a early failure, it won't be right away but over time.
Kenny sir. Here's the challenge. I say it is blazing saddles. Not the blues even though blues Brothers was good.
5.3 Morris coil code sos .
Block test that before putting any more money in that car!
3:25 and 5:08 Ghostbusters. "quiet, listen... you smell that"
It depends on what genre of movie you're talking about. Sure BB is a great comedy but so is animal house.
It's probably been due for a timing belt water pump for at least 20 to 40,000 MI now.
surprised you didn't mention Art Carney on Laugh-in with the VERY INTERESTING segment, yeah the coil is sending morse code 'replace me'. As you mentioned, the water pump leaking as timing belt driven, will you be showing that
While your at it, the brake fluid looked pretty green too.
Kenny is "On a mission from God". lol
in Greece we use the phrase listen to see...
I had a guy say "this hose keeps blowing off, I've replaced the clamps 5 times got a new hose, cleaned the connection ect ect" I grabbed my exhaust gas contamination tester and sure enough -head gasket blown: too much pressure in the coolant lines
Years ago, a next-door neighbor's car kept "losing" water. He'd fill it, and the level would drop. I pulled out the oil dipstick to find "chocolatey" oil: Blown head gasket was my guess. He wouldn't hear it, "I just had the engine rebuilt!" I just had to walk away. The car disappeared not long after that. The kid probably blew the engine. 😒
Blues Brothers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😃😃😃
I was thinking about The Blues Brothers the other day. "How much for the women. . .!"
The engine mounts on these go bad easily and maybe the hose was adequately on until the engine mount let the engine move more than its normal distance on acceleration. Check the motor mounts!
Good morning Mr Kenny
The spring clamp you took off is a better clamp than the worm clamp that you put on. Especially when you can actually stage that spring clamp where it is staged open and then just push on it with a screwdriver and it will clamp itself on. I have had three worm clamps fail in the years that I have been working on automobiles and I have never seen one of those spring clamps fail. I've heard of them being broken I've never seen one broken. The other thing that I always do whenever possible as I use a balanced sleeve thermostat whenever possible I will even cut one down and make it fit into a spot. I have never seen one of those fail. The puppet type I've seen fail on a regular basis.
I hate those things, do they actually sell spring clamps off the shelf?
@@philspear73 Available from industrial supply places like McMaster-Carr. I'm a fan of them, too. Always the right tension, never too much, too little, no follow-up tightening required (great for inaccessible spots) and most importantly, not low tension when needed most -- high heat. There are some Gates videos out there about how their heat-shrink hose clamps are the best, but in the comparisons they show, the spring clamps are in 2nd place.
Having the right tools/pliers for them makes them a lot less annoying.
I've heard people here on these UA-cams see that they've seen them fail. I don't know if they work on one brand of car or in the rust belt.
I made one fail decades ago by storing it squeezed-open in a pair of 10" Vice Grips while a project was on hold. When I went to install it on a later project, it cracked and had zero tension. That one's on me!
If spring clamps are start rusting even a bit, they will lose grip at a high pace, so as this one did, replacing was due.
Obviously any part can fail. As mentioned a spring type clamp exerts constant pressure regardless of expansion or contraction of the hose so it never needs tightening, where a worm clamp, while capable of greater constriction force, remains the same diameter, meaning when the hose starts to loose its elasticity it can't self tighten. The spring type clamp will usually last longer, but once a hose completely looses it's elasticity (starts to bulge and/or leak at the connection, paradoxically a worm clamp works better, due to its greater clamping force, but only as a temporary fix, because by then the hose really needs to be replaced.
I've changed oil in my cars for years & ran my own shop. For some reason I've seen more Chevys have loose oil filters. Even on my own '95 truck I've found the filter loose. Know what you're thinkin', not tight enough when put on but it was damn snug when put on. Curious if anyone else has noticed this?
Did you change the oil when it was in for the alternator?
Yes I hear the high voltage crack or pops
I respect your opinion, so I'd like your opinion on the Dodge 4.7
It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks.
When you know , you know ❤️
Can I hear the miss? Hell, I can SEE it!
I wonder if the oil filter being loose was causing it to loose prime so it rattles on a cold start. You can see the misfire.
oil filter and radiator hose sabotage by other shop to get work?
Probably
If something looks fishy and seems strange it probably is fishy
Yes, it's a conspiracy. Haha.
The battery of the truck is 05 year and 02 months, !!wow!!!😮😮😮
In fact 06 years.
Water pump could of leak down cause some pressure build up causeing a already bad hose fix to come off
List of types of hose clamps that need to go behind the bulge in the coolant flange:
1. All
The clatter might have been from oil that drained out from loose filter
I'd be a little concerned about things that cause overpressure inside the cooling system. A bad thermostat or failing water pump could cause inefficient cooling, leading to superheating of trapped air, then leading to a spike of pressure. Then you get decompression at the weakest point, which should be the radiator cap. If the cap sticks, a hose blows off.
I honestly believe the hose was not installed correctly. I road tested it and all seemed good . Just waiting for the approval to do the timing belt and water pump
@@WrenchingWithKenny Don’t let the car go without a timing belt, tensioner and pump! If the tensioner ever fails or the pump or the belt, it’s an interference engine and valves will be bent!
@@WrenchingWithKenny Also check the engine mounts! These are notorious for failing mounts.
Does that Pacifica have SCAMODS?
When it rains it pours
you got rid of the Cadillac! i bought a 🎤. this has a cop 👮♂️ motor cop suspension. so what do u think 🤔 is it the new blues mobile. its got some pick up. fix the lighter 😆
So Kenny, the Chrysler 3.5 liter V6 is a totally different engine from the 2.7 litre, right? I think it doesn't have a water pump internal to the block like the 2.7 does(?) I am still hoping that sometime you will tell us how you really feel about the 2.7. Thanks for the good videos.
The 2.7 is ABSOLUTE garbage. THE 3.2 and 3.5 are also trash. The 3.7 is junk and the new 3.6 engines aren't that great either.
@@louiewatson93892.7 is garbage right I've had no problems with 3.5
Someone pulled the hose to replace the water pump and decided the job was too big. They forgot to put the hose back on.
Fight Club
Verify everything always.
BB's is on par with Young Frankenstein
Hopefully that's not an aftermarket radiator. Some have smaller inlet and outlet fittings where the hoses go on. Ask me how I know. Another reason why I hate aftermarket parts. I put one in a vehicle one time and the damn hose blew off because of that, had to put a worm clamp on it to get the right tension on it.
It's rare to be able to fix an oil leak and a coolant leak in 5 minutes. too bad the water pump threw a "wrench" into the works..but not bad for business. the customer will do backflips once they have all 6 cylinders firing again, they won't know what to do with all the power. I think the last Chrysler engine I owned was a 340, how about that apple? probably came out of a '70 Duster, I had it in a '74 Dart. so, if the T-belt wasn't done the whole kit also comes with idlers, tensioner, the pump.. I also advise people to change their coolant regularly, it gets high in pH and the modern materials don't take it well, the core & such. it's not the old copper-brass we all knew and loved, that's gone. maybe the big rigs still have it? I do my coolant every fall, but you can go 2 yrs I suppose. I wouldn't go longer. some people never change it, until it all leaks out. same with the oil I guess.
"See how it sounds." is grammatically incorrect, but we all understood exactly what you meant, so it's not wrong.
My garage would charge me $2000 for that repair.
Crankcase can have oil, but a loose & dripping filter will cause
low oil pressure. That vehicle is a hot mess!
It looks to me like somebody was trying to sabotage that vehicle.
You can see the bad coil
Crusty battery terminals..😢😮
I heard the arc from the coil. Water pump, timing belt and tensioner is a fun job on those, not.
ya see what I'm saying, right?
Sabotage? Loose coolant hose and loose oil filter?
HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT HUT
Battery connector looks nasty.
Re-check your work because the customer isn't supposed to be a test driver!
That spring clamp is a considerably more Superior clamp than the worm clamp. You do not change a spring clamp just because somebody didn't put it back together. I disagree with your thinking in this situation. Normally you are excellent you're a thought process. But I would never change a spring clamp even if it was a bit Rusty I would not change it. The pressures put on by that spring clamp are considerably Superior.
As for the 3.5 liter Chrysler Products comma That was a vehicle that I have seen Very little maintenance done like next to none comma and they have lasted somewhere in the neighborhood of between 160 180 000 miles minimum. We're just a little bit of maintenance, like changing out the water pump whenever you put a new timing belt on it. Which I have never seen anybody do the timing belt on time on one of those engines. They use those in Formula 3000 race cars for almost a decade without a single failure of an engine in competition
What is your adress ?
Blues BROTHERS, they still owe you money. Might not be the best, but they set a record for destroying police cars.
I think you’re making a mistake going to a worm clamp. You’re better off using the old spring clamp, or replacing it with one of the same type. At the very least, in an emergency, use a worm clamp designed for silicone hoses where the worm slots are shielded from the rubber. You’ve lost come credibility with me.
Blues Brothers is great but Pulp Fiction is better.
Typical Chrysler junk. Every Chrysler I've had was complete garbage. Not buying another Chrysler at all.
