It's the size of a cruise ship. I can't fit it on a lift. The engine bay is packed super tight and I can't see anything. Time to tear it apart to get a good visual. Invasive diagnostic time!

    Ray, I think I speak for all of us when I say we WANT to see you throwing wrenches. Not necessarily out of anger, but a little healthy destruction is always entertaining. LOUD NOISES!

    What I have just witnessed is an excellent reason ensuring I will never buy a "Dodge" vehicle. 10/10 for patience and perceverance Ray.

    This van is engineering stupidity,no way around it.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Millhollon says:

    I wish all aoto macanics were as good as you are I have a hard time trusting them to make sure that they do ìt right.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joaquinwalker says:

    One would think with the Ridiculous amount of sensors why cant the system detect a simple leak.

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Maxx Neverstart says:

    I learned very, very early on not to throw tools. Working on my 1955 Chevy many, many years ago, got flustered, threw my screwdriver down, it hit the ground, bounced once, rotated, and perfectly skewered the rear fender.

    Betterer, or more betterer

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tria Maxwell says:

    Ohhhhh…. So THIS is why one of my online friends HATES vans! I get it now!

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars acdii says:

    Geez, it seems as if to Dodge repairs, they just RAM the parts under the hood, makes me want to Cry\sler

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Landon Take America Back says:

    We should go into the fastener business, ten thousand fasteners removed to remove something held in by 4 fasteners🤣😂

    Radiator pronounced as ray dee ay tr

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Walker says:

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Solomon says:

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Solomon says:

    They pass the job to you they you want give up like the other guy did what do you think. Good job Ray.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffrey Ulatan says:

    I could probably take all those out but I wouldn't know how to put it back together lol. It boggles my mind how you remember how things go back together

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 916commons says:

    My first car at 16 years old was a 1928 Model A Ford. Cut my teeth on repairs, which compared to this Doooge, was simple as all get out. I’m no engineer, but why do engine compartments have to look like this??

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Kleier says:

    I don't like promaster vans. I always end up bleeding, when i get roped into working on one. Because Dodge. Lol

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars j horton says:

    Have you considered using an inspection camera al'a Harbor Freight?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ARednecksLife says:

    The trucks get that same 3.6L

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars shellsterdude says:

    Looks like Mopar was aspiring to be European with how difficult this is to work on.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ss ss says:

    Looks my Ducato

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Doe says:

    And this is why people think mechanics try and rob them with labor. But just look what he has to strip down to find a leak. Maybe should start blaming engineers, for designing engines like this

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeff Ally says:

    I like to see more upper and lower ball joint repairs Jay

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Harold W Dorman says:

    There was a female mechanic that would only use the 3/8 drive tools to work on vehicles. But like u rain Ray only use the 1/2 drive breaker bar to break loose stuck bolts & nuts

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Lastoria says:

    It is a Dodge Ugly master!!! Hideous! I owned one. Once. The absolute worst piece of garbage on wheels ever. No wonder they are the cheapest, with the lowest resale value.

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars HouseCallAutoRepair says:

    I definitely understand why someone would want to pummel the designer!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars gerald howard says:

    Thank you for reminding me to never get that vehicle. 👌🤣🤣🤣

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Eduardo Garcia says:

    I worked on similar Promaster and several bolts that hold the water pump were broken. Had to remove the engine/trans to perform the proper repairs that followed.

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Charles Hullinger says:

    What a difficult POS to work on. You have the patience of job

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SwissRedneck says:

    These shit box vans are designed with L4 Diesel engines on the old continent, i don't even know they stuffed a V6 inside for the US market. I like your content a lot, thanks for that buddy.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars blumobean says:

    My back is killing me from bending over that engine bay.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars lookoutleo says:

    looks like a fiat ducato its sold as in europe

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ianriggs says:

    You are a master, and you will be seeing one of my vehicles when it needs help, not that im hoping it breaks lol. Maybe I'll just stop by and bring you some coffee or lunch lol id love to meet u in person. Keep up the awesome work!

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars louis eller says:

    if you are replacing the lower hose why not cut a hole in it to drain the coolant??????

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tc seacliff says:

    HOLY CRAP! what a pant load of fasteners?!!!

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Macluvin65 says:

    Can't you pressurize the coolant system a bit to force leakage?

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Der Waldschrat says:

    It's geman…. or not…? LOL

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars thomas m. tordel jr. says:

    what a cluster.. did they start with an engine and build around it?

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Craig Riker says:

    What a shit design! Freaking engineers have not a clue to whats involved in replacing a consumable part such as a water pump!

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! esunetdude says:

    Do you know if that 3.6 liter is the same as the 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee? What a rat's nest to work on !!

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Power Surge says:

    I had considered buying this van. No more.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Power Surge says:

    Yes, take the whole thing apart to take out the air canister.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jordan Kinberg says:

    Jobs like this remind me why I went back to school to do Cybersecurity work vs flag hour pay… -_-

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Desnoo says:
