As a 15 year self taught mechanic whose currently during timing on my mom's 2012 charger 3.6 pentastar for the first time ever ,I feel u brotha,it took me til my 10 year to stop being lazy and rushing and so it right ,take as much off as possible ,to make it easy ,and always will,u got a new subscriber after this one
Thank you for this. I've been trying to find the source of ticking in my car. I've tried that field test, but I didn't know the lobes being all the way down on the rockers could make the test fail. subscribed
Man I just found you and I love your videos. I knew that's what was causing the ticking but to actually see you tear it apart and show us is really cool. I've heard many pentastars with this tick including mine. I actually had a dodge avenger before this that had a milder tick. But I imagine it's that same valve in just about 70% of em. Maybe they don't get enough oil bc of the engine design or something idk. But like I said I've heard quite a few 3.6l with that tick.
its such a problem with the bad rocker arms on those pentestar engines Chrysler should have extended the warranty on those parts I pull up next to quite a few ticking penstar engines
Question from a newbie. Isn’t it a good idea to also change the lifter on the failed rocker arm? Reason I say this is there may be a blockage in the lifter itself and maybe lead to the failed rocker arm. I’m about to do this job on my wife’s 2016 T&C van. I’ll change all the rocker arms and lifters on this 98,000 mile engine. Just to make sure I won’t do this job again in 6 months for another failed rocker.

Hello, it depends on if a lobe is damaged. No need to replace cams if the is no damage on the inside lobes. Are your camshafts damaged? Also, are you subscribed to the channel?
I have a 2015 jeep 90k miles with a 3.2 terrible tick. I tore it apart and rockers are solid and cams are not damaged at all. I guess that's a good thing but what could cause that noise?
Thats why its important to really analyze the noise. If you heard a valve train tick, you should find a valve train problem. If not, its something else. Was the noise constant? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTips yes subbed for sure man! I found the bad one after I barred the engine over. It was the #2 cylinder of course. I got it out and got it in though. Love your vids
@@OnlineMechanicTips one more question sir regarding this motor.. I just broke three cam cap bolts with a torque wrench! It said spec is 89 in pounds so I set the wrench to 7.5 ft pound and it is breaking them everytime. Snugged them all in bolt order before to finger tight then got the torque wrench. Are they single use torque to yield? Headed to the dealership tomorrow again ugh
Thank you for this comment. I was trying to figure out what the grey stripes were on my van today, I wiped them off and then I was worried that they were important.
Great Video, I am working on a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The T30 Torx bolts holding the cam bearing caps are not coming off. We have broken 3 bits. Is there something we are doing wrong?
wow, not a common problem at all. Either they was over tighten or you simple using cheap torx bits. And btw, make sure the torx bit high quality because once you shear the bolt, its vise grip time. Hope you get it off bud.
@michaelwork5399 Hey bud, I re use cams all the time that was damaged. It's really about the center of the lobes. The outter edge of lobes ok to re uses. The center part is what contact the rocker arm. If you mic that lobe and it measures similar to the others, then there's not much draw back
@@OnlineMechanicTips okay so if the center where the roller touch’s is okay then we are good? And the outside edges where the cam touched the side of the rocker doesn’t matter? That’s good to hear lol
Hey JT, great videos! I think I got this problem in my 2014 town and country. I'm confident in getting to the camshaft but not putting it back together and timing it. How much does this job usually cost?

Hello JT, I just did this and now I have these codes. I didn’t take the timing chain off but I moved it to change the back one on each side. P1dd2 U1424 P0349 Perhaps I rotated it too much or I placed a sensor on the wrong side? I don’t know what to do now.
I have. The car that I did that on had a tick and ate a little bit of the cam shaft. I don’t have timing tools or the time so I just went ahead with the rocker arm. I know that it will eat up the rocker arms so I went ahead and added bestline lubricant to the oil. Mileage of the car was 140000 we are now at 240000 and still no tick. Add bestline and some fully synthetic oil and I think you should be good.

I just bought a 2022 jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, it has 4500 miles and the oil has been changed twice.I had it changed at 1000 miles , and the dealer put the wrong oil in they used semi synthetic 5w 20, and the book calls for full synthetic.I called them out on it so they told me to come back and get it changed again. You have to watch some of these places. I plan on doing 5000 mile oil changes.
I changed out the exhaust cam and all the rocker arms on the right side and the tap went away but I can hear a tick like it's in it beginning stages of tapping.
Thats whats up man. Those Wranglers are not easy, lots of tight things to get off, but glad you got er done. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs of the video and sub the channel for me, thanks
Just got my 2015 T&C back from dealer, they replaced bad lifter and camshaft and phaser do to damage from lifter. But it's still making same ticking sound. What gives?
@@OnlineMechanicTips Wow. Thanks for the quick response. I think i left same comment on some of your other vids to. I would hope so. They said they checked front bank first and found nothing then did back and found the collapsed lifter. Would a stretched timing chain or bad tensioner make a similar sound? Subscribing and liking. Thanks.
@@pnorton75 Thanks bud. Sure a collapsed lifter will cause a noise, but a rocker arm will also, in fact, so will a cam phaser. (depends on the noise). I dont see any reason one would replace a camshaft because of a failed lifter. One of the coming apart rocker arms likely got by them. There are certain ways to check that and a dealer tech should know all of such ways. To me, none of this matter, seems you should have the option to return the van and get it rechecked because basically, you still have the same problem. Wow, this crazy. You should not be hearing a ticking noise after a ticking repair has just been done.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Yes I am taking it back. I had less than 100 miles left on my 100,000 mile max care warranty when i took it in. They said they would leave the ticket open so if i go over the 100,000 before i get it back to them (which i will) it will still be covered. Just glad this tech actually heard the ticking. The first time I took it in a month ago the tech said he didn't hear anything. All depends on the luck of the draw if you get a competent tech or not. Thanks again.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Hi JT: appreciate your prompt help. Had some hard time to rotate camshaft through crankshaft last time. I probably didn't apply enough force.
Fixing to start on my wife's 2012 chrysler town and county, ticking sound that sounds like its in the rear. It started with a misfire code, i replaced spark pkugs an coil packs an the code went away, but the motor started ticking. On the rear do u line up the lines or arrows before tampering with the cam??
Hey bud if you working on bank 1 then yes, the lines should be lined up. You might want to watch this other video if you plan on removing the cam phasers and the timing chain. Also, are you subscribed to the channel? ua-cam.com/video/oUHN1GRMC7M/v-deo.html
@@OnlineMechanicTips yeah I have subscribed days ago. Without your videos i wouldn't feel as confident as i do goin into this. Which Iv done alot of different jobs in auto mechanics but never messed with valvetrains until now. Its intimidating work if you dont understand it. But your videos gave me alot of understand on things I didnt know. Again thank you for that. I try to do my own auto work cause there are so many shady mechanics nowadays, you jus can't trust anyone to do u right.
I was really hoping i didnt have to buy anymore tools, but it looks like Im gonna have to get an inch pound torque wrench. I got a foot pound wrench that starts at 10 pounds but thats prolly overkill huh?
Hey Bro, this video was needed I dropped $1100 on a 2015 dodge journey rt 3.6L cylinder 2 was misfiring, I have the same ticking sound, which let me know the rockers are sh!ty! My question for you is if all 6 ignition coils and plugs were changed, fuel injector was tested and cylinder 2 still misfiring, what could possible be the issue?
Hey my friend, when im faced with such a problem, I always go to my compression test. If you have a misfire AND a ticking noise, theres a chance that its related, meaning a broker rocker arm cold cause both. Was that the only code you getting P0302? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Hello my friend, it depends on the coverage the car has and the miliage . How many miles on car? O and please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips its got 96,000 and I got the 100,000 mile power train warranty and i did i like the videos and subscribed already but thank you for posting them 🙏

Good video, I am about to attempt this myself. I have a horrible ticking, and I think its coming from both banks. Super frustrating since I no longer have a warranty and only 54K miles. I do have a few questions though. What size sockets did you use for the crank shaft and oil control valve? Did you replace anything else while doing this job, i.e. valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, pcv valve? Any other recommendations? Thanks
Hey man I've got a question on a 2017 promaster with the 3.6 the dimple on the exhaust cam phaser won't line up but the intake phaser dimple lines up? Am I just not in TDC? Or was is not timed right to begin with?
Hi how are you, I’m a subscriber to your channel,I’m reside in South Africa and I need you help.I own a dodge Journey R/T 3.6 .Is there a I can get hold of you privately because I need help
Hi JT： how hard is it to rotate crank shaft? I saw you used a break bar to do it. Cannot rotate the engine last time since I was afraid too much force could damage timing chain. Best regards
The crank bolt can easily take the torque required to rotate the engine. If it won't rotate relatively easy you probably jumped timing and you have interference between valves and pistons
Thanks for all of the helpful knowledge and tips. What do the bearing caps need to be torqued to? When loosening them I broke a T-30, mainly because they were cheap, but the only torque specs I found were 89 in-lbs.
Well my 2016 town and country is back at dealership..this time its a failed rocker on cylinder 1 intake,cylinder 2exhaust, both motor mounts are failed,man why me?
Brother. I hear ticking noise from bank 2 but it's only when the car heat up also I got P2096 code and made me confused if it's an exhaust leak or rockerarm failure
Hey bud, it depends on what all you doing and your skill level. I because I do not use special set up tools and im familiar with the timing it will likely take me a couple hours. But thats a misleading answer so its a hard question to answer.
I have a 2014 Durango. 3.6. Passenger side rocker failed on intake. The intake came phaser came off in 2 pieces. Also the timing chain tensioner tool fell out. How can I compress the chain again? And is the phaser bad because it came apart.
Hey bud, im not understanding here. What do you mean the chain tensioner tool fell out? It is usually placed in the correct spot and stays there until removed..O and please like the video and subscribe to the channel. Also yes, that phaser should be replaced if it came apart. Before you comment back, please sub the channel for me
Ok I subscribed. When pulling the cam it came with it. So that let the tensioner extend. I see that you don’t use the tools anyway. How are you compressing the tensioner
Ok bud, you can remove the cam/phasers without the tool..but you may need the tool to compress the tension arm back into its bore and use a Granade pin to hold it there..I have a video I'm going to upload tommorro showing how this is done
JT I finally got both valve covers off and tried your patented feel test but nothing seemed loose. What size socket is that on the crankshaft to rotate the engine?
One of the Best videos out there!! I was wondering if a straight grenade pin is needed? I've see where that is also used but don't know what it does? Thank You so much!! This tutorial saves me so much $$$
@@OnlineMechanicTips man you way out there, I’m out here in cali but shit ima have to keep watching your videos and apply the knowledge, love the videos on these grand Cherokees , keep it going 💯
My problem is that them can bearing bolts are straight trash and one took a dump on me now I’m tryna figure out how to get it out and put in a fresh one 😩😩😩
Hello my friend. The 3.6 Pentastar engine and the 5.7 Hemi different when it comes to checking for vavle train noises/faults. The hemi needs to be torn down much deeper the the 3.6 to find/view problem. So your comment basically can only go as far as listening for valve train noise. Any thing else, engine will need to be torn down..Thanks for watching, please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
How do you replace a rocker arm from the cylinder #1 without remove the time belt? I just replaced the #3 and it was easy, but the #1 is hard cause the camshaft is not lifting when I loose the screws, good video btw
Thanks for watching bud, I see you are a subscriber, thats whats up..Yes, cyl 1 is the closest to the timing chain. It will be hard to pull that off without removing timing. What kind of car is this?
@@OnlineMechanicTips it is a Journey 2011, the most difficult for me was to remove the camshaft position sensors cause is so uncomfortable and the harness behind the cover closest to the cabin cause it is hidden behind. The funny part is that after replace it everything was smooth after 2 hrs driving we heard the sound again, now the sound show up when the engine is warmed, I am sure is the #1 cause I felt it loose a littlebit, I didn't replace it cause is close the time chain and we couldn't lift the camshaft.
For the love of Christ, 6 shop rags in the intake manifold ports, before you drop a bolt down one of them. If your going to pull the lower intake manifold for oil canister repair, then 6 shop rags in the head intake ports as well.
This video was done over 3 years ago. I've since learned that a lot of folks are like drama queens and get real serious and passionate about stuff like this. So yes, that does not look good on video and you should def cover up those ports. Never had a problem or anything fall down in there and theres no reason to keep risking that.. Good call but theres more material on this video worth mentioning dude.
Awesome vid! Thank you for doing this. Is it possible to get all of the lifters out without removing chain/cam sprockets/camshafts? Subbed to your channel by the way
Thanks for subbing bud. Yes its possible but its also risky to somebody that has not done one. You have problems with rocker arms in cylinder # 2 and #1. I do not do it this way because it is easier for ME to simply remove the cam phasers and the chain. This may not be easy for somebody else. Thanks for watching
@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks for the reply! Great answer. I think I’ll order the tools and do it the right way. I haven’t got in there just yet but I think I’m going to need a camshaft anyway so will be pulling phasers. It’s making a dull thud right after the tick. You mentioned that if it makes a thud it will likely need a camshaft. No CEL or misfires and still runs smooth. The tick is very obvious though. I was an ASE Master certified auto tech and worked on Audis/VW/Mercedes for 20 years but this is my first Dodge/Chrysler. Needed a van for the growing family😆
Awh man, thing about air bags are when the light on theres really a problem..You cant do anything until you find out the code..Have you gotten your airbag recalls done yet?

I just replaced one of mine. Crazy what you have to do to get a $10 part out. I drive a Wrangler with the 3.6
Thats whats up man. Those Wranglers are not easy, lots of tight things to get off, but glad you got er done. Thanks for watching. Please thumbs of the video and sub the channel for me, thanks
I cannot get the phaser back on. Tried everything you recommended
i have a 2013 charger v6 just started ticking im not changing one rocker im changing all of them
Well thats what you should do dude. I dont believe I suggested that you do just one in this video..
Just got my 2015 T&C back from dealer, they replaced bad lifter and camshaft and phaser do to damage from lifter. But it's still making same ticking sound. What gives?
Well damm, did they inspect the rocker arms? which is usually the problem. O and are you subscribed to the channel, if not, please do. Thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips Wow. Thanks for the quick response. I think i left same comment on some of your other vids to. I would hope so. They said they checked front bank first and found nothing then did back and found the collapsed lifter. Would a stretched timing chain or bad tensioner make a similar sound? Subscribing and liking. Thanks.
@@pnorton75 Thanks bud. Sure a collapsed lifter will cause a noise, but a rocker arm will also, in fact, so will a cam phaser. (depends on the noise). I dont see any reason one would replace a camshaft because of a failed lifter. One of the coming apart rocker arms likely got by them. There are certain ways to check that and a dealer tech should know all of such ways. To me, none of this matter, seems you should have the option to return the van and get it rechecked because basically, you still have the same problem. Wow, this crazy. You should not be hearing a ticking noise after a ticking repair has just been done.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Yes I am taking it back. I had less than 100 miles left on my 100,000 mile max care warranty when i took it in. They said they would leave the ticket open so if i go over the 100,000 before i get it back to them (which i will) it will still be covered. Just glad this tech actually heard the ticking. The first time I took it in a month ago the tech said he didn't hear anything. All depends on the luck of the draw if you get a competent tech or not. Thanks again.
Are the solenoid actuators in the cam phasers preventative maintenance items? Or, do they usually not need replaced? Thanks for the video!
Hi JT: do I need to take spark plugs out to rotate the camshaft?
No, unless you have the number 1 plug out trying to see if engine up to TDC
@@OnlineMechanicTips Hi JT: appreciate your prompt help. Had some hard time to rotate camshaft through crankshaft last time. I probably didn't apply enough force.
Can you rotate camshaft with all spark plugs off?
Fixing to start on my wife's 2012 chrysler town and county, ticking sound that sounds like its in the rear. It started with a misfire code, i replaced spark pkugs an coil packs an the code went away, but the motor started ticking. On the rear do u line up the lines or arrows before tampering with the cam??
Hey bud if you working on bank 1 then yes, the lines should be lined up. You might want to watch this other video if you plan on removing the cam phasers and the timing chain. Also, are you subscribed to the channel? ua-cam.com/video/oUHN1GRMC7M/v-deo.html
@@OnlineMechanicTips yeah I have subscribed days ago. Without your videos i wouldn't feel as confident as i do goin into this. Which Iv done alot of different jobs in auto mechanics but never messed with valvetrains until now. Its intimidating work if you dont understand it. But your videos gave me alot of understand on things I didnt know. Again thank you for that. I try to do my own auto work cause there are so many shady mechanics nowadays, you jus can't trust anyone to do u right.
@@ChiraqVet lol, I feel you bud. Thanks
I was really hoping i didnt have to buy anymore tools, but it looks like Im gonna have to get an inch pound torque wrench. I got a foot pound wrench that starts at 10 pounds but thats prolly overkill huh?
Hey Bro, this video was needed I dropped $1100 on a 2015 dodge journey rt 3.6L cylinder 2 was misfiring, I have the same ticking sound, which let me know the rockers are sh!ty! My question for you is if all 6 ignition coils and plugs were changed, fuel injector was tested and cylinder 2 still misfiring, what could possible be the issue?
Hey my friend, when im faced with such a problem, I always go to my compression test. If you have a misfire AND a ticking noise, theres a chance that its related, meaning a broker rocker arm cold cause both. Was that the only code you getting P0302? Also are you subscribed to the channel?
Ive got a 2015 chrysler 300s awd 3.6L and its starting to tick like that is that covered under the power train warranty?
Hello my friend, it depends on the coverage the car has and the miliage . How many miles on car? O and please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
@@OnlineMechanicTips its got 96,000 and I got the 100,000 mile power train warranty and i did i like the videos and subscribed already but thank you for posting them 🙏
@@OnlineMechanicTips also I just installed a throttle body spacer and everytime i make a complete stop my car kinda like shuts off like the rpms will drop but if i come to a stop n it does that of i turn on my a.c while stopped the rpm go back up like it doesnt do it when my a.c if on
O good, that tick noise should be covered under the powertrain warranty..curious, why the throttle body spacer?
@@OnlineMechanicTips adds extra throttle response I have a cold air intake too
Good video, I am about to attempt this myself. I have a horrible ticking, and I think its coming from both banks. Super frustrating since I no longer have a warranty and only 54K miles. I do have a few questions though. What size sockets did you use for the crank shaft and oil control valve? Did you replace anything else while doing this job, i.e. valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, pcv valve? Any other recommendations? Thanks
Hey man I've got a question on a 2017 promaster with the 3.6 the dimple on the exhaust cam phaser won't line up but the intake phaser dimple lines up? Am I just not in TDC? Or was is not timed right to begin with?
That one is not suppose to line up..focus on the 2 lines on both phasers..they should line up..also are you subscribed to the channel?
@@OnlineMechanicTipsgot it thanks. Of course man you do some great work!
Hi how are you, I’m a subscriber to your channel,I’m reside in South Africa and I need you help.I own a dodge Journey R/T 3.6 .Is there a I can get hold of you privately because I need help

@@OnlineMechanicTips
JT I need to source parts,rocker arm and lifters and also the timing kit
Hi JT： how hard is it to rotate crank shaft? I saw you used a break bar to do it. Cannot rotate the engine last time since I was afraid too much force could damage timing chain. Best regards
The crank bolt can easily take the torque required to rotate the engine. If it won't rotate relatively easy you probably jumped timing and you have interference between valves and pistons
Thanks for all of the helpful knowledge and tips. What do the bearing caps need to be torqued to? When loosening them I broke a T-30, mainly because they were cheap, but the only torque specs I found were 89 in-lbs.

Well my 2016 town and country is back at dealership..this time its a failed rocker on cylinder 1 intake,cylinder 2exhaust, both motor mounts are failed,man why me?
Awhhhh bud, sorry to hear that..
Where are you located? i need this done
Hey bud, sorry, we in the Atlanta Ga area.
Brother. I hear ticking noise from bank 2 but it's only when the car heat up also I got P2096 code and made me confused if it's an exhaust leak or rockerarm failure
Is a bad rocker arm or lifter ticking or clicking noise accompanied by engine knock? Thank you for just returning my other question.
That is possible but I have yet to hear such a double noise.
Hey JT, how long does it take to complete this job from start to finish?
Hey bud, it depends on what all you doing and your skill level. I because I do not use special set up tools and im familiar with the timing it will likely take me a couple hours. But thats a misleading answer so its a hard question to answer.
I have a 2014 Durango. 3.6. Passenger side rocker failed on intake. The intake came phaser came off in 2 pieces. Also the timing chain tensioner tool fell out. How can I compress the chain again? And is the phaser bad because it came apart.
Hey bud, im not understanding here. What do you mean the chain tensioner tool fell out? It is usually placed in the correct spot and stays there until removed..O and please like the video and subscribe to the channel. Also yes, that phaser should be replaced if it came apart. Before you comment back, please sub the channel for me
Ok I subscribed. When pulling the cam it came with it. So that let the tensioner extend. I see that you don’t use the tools anyway. How are you compressing the tensioner
Ok bud, you can remove the cam/phasers without the tool..but you may need the tool to compress the tension arm back into its bore and use a Granade pin to hold it there..I have a video I'm going to upload tommorro showing how this is done
Is it the same for driver and passenger side? Mine is the passenger side
What size socket is used to turn the crankshaft?
Hey bud, thats a 1 1/16 socket..Thanks for watching, please like and subscribe to the channel please, thanks
What's your location I need you to fix mines asap
Hello my friend, we in the Atlanta Ga area in Snellville. If you in the area, please give us a call, thanks
JT I finally got both valve covers off and tried your patented feel test but nothing seemed loose. What size socket is that on the crankshaft to rotate the engine?
Awhhh bud, I dont know it by hard..I would have to check tommorro. But yes, rotate it and check all with the lobes off of the valve
@@OnlineMechanicTips thanks. I'm about to rotate now
What s that cost at a shop ???
What state u are
Do You rotate the crankshaft on Parking mode ?
park is fine
One of the Best videos out there!! I was wondering if a straight grenade pin is needed? I've see where that is also used but don't know what it does?
Thank You so much!! This tutorial saves me so much $$$

@@Bobbyg408 Thanks my guy
My problem is that them can bearing bolts are straight trash and one took a dump on me now I’m tryna figure out how to get it out and put in a fresh one 😩😩😩
I’m here trying to figure out how to do a 5.7 hemi rocker arm/shaft check.
Hello my friend. The 3.6 Pentastar engine and the 5.7 Hemi different when it comes to checking for vavle train noises/faults. The hemi needs to be torn down much deeper the the 3.6 to find/view problem. So your comment basically can only go as far as listening for valve train noise. Any thing else, engine will need to be torn down..Thanks for watching, please like the video and subscribe to the channel for me, thanks
I failed to find the bad rocker arm cz I didn’t rotate the engine,I have to redo it again
Yes, do all checks with lobes pointing up..Thanks for watching, please subscribe to the channel for me, thanks.
@@OnlineMechanicTips will do thanks for the great video,will update the results later.

How do you replace a rocker arm from the cylinder #1 without remove the time belt? I just replaced the #3 and it was easy, but the #1 is hard cause the camshaft is not lifting when I loose the screws, good video btw
Thanks for watching bud, I see you are a subscriber, thats whats up..Yes, cyl 1 is the closest to the timing chain. It will be hard to pull that off without removing timing. What kind of car is this?
@@OnlineMechanicTips it is a Journey 2011, the most difficult for me was to remove the camshaft position sensors cause is so uncomfortable and the harness behind the cover closest to the cabin cause it is hidden behind. The funny part is that after replace it everything was smooth after 2 hrs driving we heard the sound again, now the sound show up when the engine is warmed, I am sure is the #1 cause I felt it loose a littlebit, I didn't replace it cause is close the time chain and we couldn't lift the camshaft.
Thank you.
For the love of Christ, 6 shop rags in the intake manifold ports, before you drop a bolt down one of them. If your going to pull the lower intake manifold for oil canister repair, then 6 shop rags in the head intake ports as well.
This video was done over 3 years ago. I've since learned that a lot of folks are like drama queens and get real serious and passionate about stuff like this. So yes, that does not look good on video and you should def cover up those ports. Never had a problem or anything fall down in there and theres no reason to keep risking that.. Good call but theres more material on this video worth mentioning dude.
Damn my charger has been doing this for a hot minute... sounds like a Cummins
Great job 👏🏽
Thanks for watching Dave, please thumbs up the video and consider subscribing, thanks
Awesome vid! Thank you for doing this. Is it possible to get all of the lifters out without removing chain/cam sprockets/camshafts? Subbed to your channel by the way
Thanks for subbing bud. Yes its possible but its also risky to somebody that has not done one. You have problems with rocker arms in cylinder # 2 and #1. I do not do it this way because it is easier for ME to simply remove the cam phasers and the chain. This may not be easy for somebody else. Thanks for watching
@@OnlineMechanicTips Thanks for the reply! Great answer. I think I’ll order the tools and do it the right way. I haven’t got in there just yet but I think I’m going to need a camshaft anyway so will be pulling phasers. It’s making a dull thud right after the tick. You mentioned that if it makes a thud it will likely need a camshaft. No CEL or misfires and still runs smooth. The tick is very obvious though. I was an ASE Master certified auto tech and worked on Audis/VW/Mercedes for 20 years but this is my first Dodge/Chrysler. Needed a van for the growing family😆
i own a jeep 2016 i am having this issue
i took it to autozone
O no, is your Jeep ticking loud? Also are you subscribed to the channel bud?
JT mane my air bag light came on what could I do to save money
On my 09 Dodge journey
Awh man, thing about air bags are when the light on theres really a problem..You cant do anything until you find out the code..Have you gotten your airbag recalls done yet?
Did they have a airbag recall
@@OnlineMechanicTips how could I check and find out
@@dwayneturner1722 Yes, we had to replace all the airbag modules on most of that body style, not sure if yours been done yet.
Damn chrysler loves some wire fasteners. I cant get em loose on the rear.
Thank you btw
please....please.....stuff some rags into the intake ports.....!
I surely hope you got more out of this video than just noticing that there was no rags in the intake? But thanks for watching bud.
@@OnlineMechanicTips Fond memories of Rick with his 911....dropped a brass ( non magnetic ) nut clean down into the cylinder past an open intake valve....
@@MrMarcus5191 lol, o wow, yes that will stick with you for awhile I guess..It certainly a good practice to cover the intake and plenium thats for sure.

Using the 3.6L vvt timing tool to remove the cam phasers & push the tensioner back to give chain slack to be able to pull the cams out to change the roller rockers and the hydraulic push rods
how about that, patented field testing, lol
Hi JT: appreciated your tips and help on how to replace rocker arm on cylinder 1. BTW, my rocker arm was so bad and it failed in all your diagnosis methods. The roller on the rocker arm is stuck and won't move anymore. ua-cam.com/video/LQTV0HTBoJo/v-deo.html
O wow, I see the grind on the camshaft lobe. Did you replace the camshaft?
@@OnlineMechanicTips didn't replace the camshaft since that is beyond what I can do. The car is aging and don't have the money to throw in anymore. Checked with two local shop about the noise, they told me to live with it. Man, they really insult the word mechanics.
