Dodge questions we answer every week
Straight answers from our techs
Why is my Dodge HEMI ticking?
A HEMI tick is often a broken exhaust manifold bolt — or a lifter problem, which is more serious. It has to be diagnosed.
Warning signs
Tick on cold start · Tick that doesn't go away · Misfire
What we do
We find the source and repair it — bolts or lifters.
Why is my Pentastar V6 leaking oil?
The 3.6L Pentastar in many Dodges is known for a leaking plastic oil cooler housing in the valley of the engine.
Warning signs
Oil smell · Oil leak at the back of the engine · Coolant mixing in some cases
What we do
We confirm the source and replace the housing with the updated part.
Why is my Grand Caravan having electrical problems?
Random electrical faults on 2008–2014 Grand Caravans often trace to the TIPM (the main fuse and relay module).
Warning signs
No-start · Horn or wipers acting up · Random warning lights
What we do
We test the circuits to confirm it's the TIPM before replacing anything.
Why does my Pentastar tick?
Some Pentastar V6s develop a tick from worn rocker arms, often with a misfire code.
Warning signs
Ticking · Misfire code
What we do
We confirm it and replace the rocker arms and lash adjusters.
