Video today just explaining the ticking noise that many Chrysler/Dodge 3.5L V6 engines have (usually from 2006-2010). These engines are found in a bunch of different cars, like the Dodge Avenger, Dodge Nitro, Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Challenger, Dodge Magnum, and Dodge Journey.

This noise is normally caused by the rocker arms. Under the intake manifold there are 2 rocker arm assemblies. These rocker arms are on a dowel, and over time the pin that keeps the rockers in place gets sheared or cut off. This shifts the dowel and the rocker arms are no longer properly aligned, so the oiling holes in the rocker arms are no longer in the proper spot, and therefore do not get the proper amounts of oil. This lack of oil to the arms causes the noise.

The fix is to replace both sides of the rocker arm assembly. I don’t have a detailed video of how to do this, but I’ll go over it briefly. You need to remove the upper intake manifold, remove the valve cover, remove the bolts and take off the rocker arm assembly, and replace it with the new one, putting the bolts back on with 31 foot pound of torque.

Hopefully this video helped you to recognize and/or learn about this common issues that affects Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. Thanks for watching!
