Check out a few of my favorites! GM 3,0L LM2 Duramax Teardown https://youtu.be/6C6xgZs9uUs Ford/JLR 3.0L Powerstroke Teardown https://youtu.be/3usAxacTXFg Mercedes OM642 Diesel Teardown https://youtu.be/_j9vMzgnyfc Today we have a 3.0L Dodge/Jeep or VM Motori Ecodiesel on the stand. This is the second generation of these engines which are plagued with a high failure rate for a multitude of reasons. These can be found in 2014 through 2019 Dodge Ram and Jeep Grand Cherokee, although globally, these engines are offered in a TON of different Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Fiat Vehicles. This core engine is supposed have been a returned unit, with approximately 82K miles. This engine was sold by a local salvage yard and the buyer claimed it was defective and returned it. But was it actually bad? The real question is, how bad was it? We're going to tear it all the way down and find all of the failure points to try to figure out what happened. Why am I doing this? My name is Eric and I own and run Importapart, a full service auto dismantler. Part of our model includes buying and dismantling core, blown and broken engines to salvage the good parts from while recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do. As always I hope you enjoyed this video. I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
