Jun 2018127062 miUS $4410 | Dreaded known problem with premature head gasket failure on Dodge 3.7L V-6 engines. Small crack apparently developed, leading to gradual coolant loss over time. Regular mechanic diagnosed the minute crack using dye/chemical trace method. Cost to replace head gasket only slightly less than cost of replacement engine, so decided to replace engine. Remanufactured crated engine purchased by owner and installed by mechanic. Rebuild included TSB upgrades to valve seats and guides; thicker/more durable head gaskets, & improved oil pump. | ||
Jul 2022162000 miUS $130 | Inspected for leak in A/C system, as system cooling performance had dropped rather suddenly. Check engine light came on. Bad O2 sensor suspected. O2 sensors were tested and determined to be within correct operating parameters. Mechanic's best guess was recent gas purchase had too much ethanol content and caused the O2 sensor to erroneously detect too lean an air/fuel mixture. Check engine light reset and no further issues after topping of with better quality gasoline. |
