Did They Really Say $17,000? A Misdiagnosis From The Dealership
Hey Good People,
You guys know, that the more I post videos on the 3.6 Pentastar, the more people are going to bring me their pentastar products. And I love it! It just helps me get better and better at working with them!
In this video, customer was quoted by the local Dodge dealership for a new engine. Skeptical about his head gasket being blown, he brought it to me for a second opinion.
I would like to think that the dealership is would be more knowledgeable about their products and what fails on them than me. But somehow, here we are. Please leave your comments below. I'd love to hear what you guys think about this.

Hey Good People, This past Friday, I had the pleasure of meeting an awesome family from Canada. They were passing through Georgia when their check engine light came on, while traveling with their family to Disney. They googled the nearest mechanic shop and guess who popped up? Dr. Pentastar LOL I was more than happy to take care of them and get them back on the road! Link for Top Don Scanner : ...

Love your videos bro your awesome at what you do I'm doing this same thing to my 2014 dodge journey your video made it super easy.. thank you for your videos keep putting the videos out here.
Choo chooo chooo 😂😂😂
I always keep a cheap scan tool in all my vehicles. It seems like the Only time a CEL comes on is when I'm far away from home.
I have a 2014 nissan maxima. No white smoke, no sludge. Just p430, p420. Had also a p305, 217, 300 and 174. A coil was broken, and looks like cheap plugs on it. Coolant leaking somewhere, the reservoir has black coolant with a strong odor. Two mechanics performed hydrocarbon tests. One said it was positive, the other said negative. Not sure who to believe or where to go. One suggested new gasket and coil, the other just a tune up.
Wish there were more people like u my guy
My 2017 Challenger seem to have this same problem, I guess it finally failed today because the oil started leaking a lot and was smoking while I was driving. I pulled over right away.
This is why I do my own work and I'm not a fan of wrenching.
Sir I Lenny thank you very much because, I've learned a lot my 2011 cadillac escalade was setting for a whole winter, until you told me, about my whole truck wouldn't start it was the MAIN FUSE LIKE YOU SAID.
Alex... THIS WAS VERY EDUCATIONAL!!! I have a P306 ERROR with 40 PSI on my NO# 6. Looks like gotta take out a Mortgage??? or do I.... Can you give a round a bout figure of what that follow on work might cost??? Tks!
The Mayweather of mechanics. ( he just run around, tap, runs around, taps n run)
Keep and sell it give them 30 days to pay and pick up.

I played Car Simulator 2018. I vow to never piss off a car mechanic ever. All they need to do is "accidentally" put some sugar in my gas or "forget" a few screws and they get their revenge on me lowballing them. Plus its some HARD TEDIOUS WORK WTF THIS SHIT TAKES FOREVER.

*"If the P' is yellow!" WE BOTH said "WHAT!?" at the same time!* *This is why I can't work on my car around my wife! She says all the Car Lingo is to SEXUAL for her!* #BoreAndSTROKE
I have a 07 LS460 and since yesterday the power steering shuts off for a few seconds when I’m driving and make a hard turn at slightly higher speeds or even a uturn and I looked at the module, it’s got dried up coolant all over it from a different issue, do you think if I replace the module it’ll fix the issue? I went to my mechanic this morning and he couldn’t figure out the issue (no codes showing)
Is Shane single?
No she’s not.
I'm 74 years old and still do diagnostics and my old scanner is (10yo) not up to the job, the price of the scanner on amazon is great for a upgrade for me as it appears to be a great alternative to the the more expensive system considering my limited need at this point in my life . My wife and I are traveling south, I'm in upstate NY, and are going to a family reunion in Sumpter SC this summer, would like to take you and a +1 to lunch and trade stories if you'd like, let me know!
That sounds amazing me and my wife would love that
I don't see the drama. Give him a quote on 2 oxygen sensors and pigtails
Dude, I wish I lived closer to you. I will bring you all my cars every time.
I love how these two have a good relationship. Wish me and my girl were like that
I mean the last few oxygen sensors I got from O'Reilly's you had to wire up the plug yourself because it didn't come with a new one but I'm only a mechanic

I got a 2005 Jaguar s-type 4.2 sport 20grand into the motor my transmission gear fault came on and won't go 📴 never change the filter since I got the car 174,346miles so if I change the filter will my car go back to normal goes in reverse fine but forward slow still goes into gear and everything
🤷🏾♂️WHY DONT CAR COMPANIES HELP FIX WHAT THEY HELP BUILD 💯 FORD & JAGUAR SHOULD BE LOCKED 🔐 IN
Just a follow up question, what made you decide on the scanner that you did and what scanner did you have before. had you not gotten the one you did how many did you evaluate?? thanks for and time you can spend on this.
To be honest, I’m an Autel guy. That’s my favorite brand. I was just trying something new with the is one but I prefer Autel
Where are u located
Morrow, Ga
I know I’m a cpl yrs late lol but my radiator only has a small leak on the side is this the same process for a 2020 without having to take front bumber off?
I just bought a 2016 Chevy Cruz and so far no problems
Nice find, hopefully you got a new customer for life now!
I've seen in my career that dealer flat rate pay plans make dealer techs dishonest, I always recommend that people treat their car to a independent repair shop for the maintinence and repairs as you would want a Dr. for yourself. We need the so called "gravy" work like oil services as that will allow our independents the ability to look over the car for service issues that will be coming due in the future. Keep up the great diagnostic work!
This is not a car sir, this is a spaceship! Cars have an e brake lever and a pedal to disengage the clutch.
dealt with this several times. alignments are precise. sometimes it's an easy measure + adjust outer tie rods+ test drive. repeat as needed. when it's too much head to a good shop 💐🕺🏻
The transmission issues are also electrical ! check the ECM & TCM
You’d be surprised an Audi tech probably did that repair.
EVERYTHING he mentioned on the video happened to my Chevy Cruz
A lot of people say you have to but you actually don’t. It can be done once installed by loosening the brake lines and pumping the air out with the pedal, tighten them, then rinse and repeat 6-7 times until the air is out.
1000% CORRECT!!!
It’s a Volkswagen bro
my 2002 f150 5.4 4by4 has 425,000 mi on it original engine original transmission I've never done anything but change the brakes and oil it still has the same rear end fluid the same transmission fluid it looks good runs good I just gave it to my 16 year old son can I use it as a workhorse hauling concrete
Doesnt the renters insurance cover this kind of damage
A TRUE! Honest master automotive mechanic at work!!!👑💪🏿✊🏿👏🏿💯🔧🚗 #thankyousir #fellowautomotivetech
YUP! Had to have mine replaced last week, along with two hoses. Same make, model, and year. Plastic deterioration in the housing.
