Towed In! Grinding and Banging! Broke in Half! Chrysler Town & Country Pacifica 3.6

BONUS VIDEO: Axle Autopsy! Towed in, Drove Out! Chrysler 3.6 • Axle Autopsy! Towed in...
This Chrysler Town and Country came into the shop on a tow truck. The customer states vehicle makes loud clicking grinding and banging noise, and the transmission does not go into gear. When they try to drive then engine starts and runs but only revs when they try to drive. There are warning lights on the dash as well. Using the scan tool, we looked into the fitted systems for trouble codes and found little direction as the DTC's were unrelated to the transmission or engine. We did find a tire pressure warning light on due to TPMS sensors not communicating. Using the lift, we raised and supported the visual for visual inspection. Placing the vehicle in drive with the engine running while raised on the lift, we found the problem! The van has some driveline damage including a torn CV Axle boot. The other axle didn't look as good! We found a CV joint was broken in half. The bearings in the cv axle were destroyed and the axle was no longer connected to it's shaft. The customer was contacted and quoted to replace both CV axle shafts.
The repair began by removing the wheels and tires, followed by the outer tie rod ends. The tie rod was easily disassembled with a hammer. The steering strut was then unbolted from the strut to avoid disassembly of the lower ball joint. This allowed removal of the CV Shaft without removing the steering knuckle. After the steering was disconnected, both CV axles were removed and we waited for parts to be delivered. The new Axles were compared to the original units to be sure the fitment was correct and were then installed into the transmission and the steering was reconnected.

    RE: hi-beam indicator: I've always wondered if people made that mistake, but then I always think "people CAN'T be that stupid"....then I remember I work in IT and they, in fact, totally CAN be. I HATE driving my car and usually opt for the SUV lately at night because of the number of idiots with high-beam/insanely bright lights. It's also always fun when I meet a jacked up truck with insane lights...and then I flash my hi-beams, and then they respond by MELTING MY CORNEAS with their actual high-beams. Maybe I'm just getting old and cranky, but headlights are getting insane/insanely dangerous.

(And they are driving 60 mph in the left hand lane, but that would be a graduate level course.)

    I learned to drive in Florida and went to college in Nebraska and I used to call NE the “drive slow on the left state”. Advantage of learning in FL was you learn to watch out for different driving styles because tourists come from locations with different driving practices and habits, which can often make you need to stay on your toes. Snowbirds with Quebec tags tended to be the worst overall in my experience - it was almost like they were sent south to enjoy the winter weather and save Canadian lives.

For a good while, she thought her lowbeam headlights had burned out because turning the knob twice resulted in highbeams coming on. 🤦🏻 I saw on another channel the lamenting of the loss of public education driver's ed courses that us Gen Xers and before had to take. The amount of bright lights here in AZ is a testament to that loss of education. Of course, I did turn it into a teaching moment.

    It’s because dashes have turned digital and apparently, no dealer tells the customer what all the lit up icons on the MPH gauges means. So they just pull the stalk back or whatever and accidentally turn it on, but they don’t realize the green icon turned to blue or adds a few extra letters next to it and they just drive like that. Never was an issue with analogy gauges for whatever reason 🤷

    I can relate. Don't put your high beams on just because! You're suppose to use them when you're having a hard time seeing the road. Even the manual for the car says when to use them. Ray, I don't think any of us mind long videos. I love watching them because A) I'm not a car person, I just follow the instructions in the manual in terms of fluid exchanges and B) Every video you upload teaches me a little bit extra, hopefully, enough to not get ripped out. I learned the difference between coolant leaks vs oil leaks, when both get combined and leak, how to do a quick check if my brakes pads are ok or if I need new ones, take care of a part that only has surface rust that I can clean with anti-rust agents with a wire brush and then "paint" them with an anti-rust coating, among many things that I'm willing to recognize "I don't have the skillset for this, I'll take it to a mechanic to get it fixed". Just my humble opinion. You have a gift to explain something I would find complex in a simple way, and I'm a moron!

    My son is a physician. As part of his residency, they were actually encouraged to watch "House" and try to follow and speculate over the storyline. I've got to say as a mechanic wannabe, I have learned a lot from just watching your videos and trying to speculate how things come apart. Your videos have become longer, possibly because you do so much in real time rather than high speed camera work. I think one of the masters of mechanics is Faye Hadley, her videos are much shorter as she does high speed edits over mundane stuff like zapping bolts out. She doesn't have the color comments or as much instruction as you so that's the trade off. Eric O is similar in time as so much is real time. Keep up the videos and I'll learn automotive from the 3 of you.

    One of the very first episodes of House has them performing an emergency 'tracheotomy' by cutting through the larynx (read: vocal chords). In real life, you can guess what that would mean. Suffice it to say: Don't believe everything you see. Failure to think critically is a big reason why people do.

    Yes Ray, in the UK some breeds of dog that are recognised as abnormally dangerous have been banned for decades because of repeated attacks on people and animals. Pitbulls are on the list and justifiably so because they have been specifically bred for aggression. American Bullys have recently been added too. I am classed as a right wing voter and I resist unnecessary government intervention but in this case I 100% agree with the multi government (of all types) legislation.

    Ray, don't worry about the length of your videos. Since you started using the 4K HDR camera, I can't get enough of your videos on my 77" HDR TV. What a treat seeing everything so super sharp and super bright in full living color. It really improves the presentation dramatically. Very few people put out anything close to the quality of your videos, both in content and the beauty of the 4K HDR. Actually none of the channels I subscribe to offer this level of video quality. Everything is so easy to see. I used to watch your videos on my 1080P computer monitor. Not anymore. Great work as always in this episode. The customers will be thrilled to learn the tranny is fine and the repair was less serious.

I for one, truly appreciate the videos you have been creating as of late, due to the fact that you have been very in depth with your description of what it is you are doing and why. I find your videos very entertaining, as well as extremely instructional and ask that you please continue down this path of "Instructional Repair Videos".

    Honestly I am a big fan of the longer-form content! There are plenty of creators that slam out a 15 minute video that took them 30 minutes to edit - With your content, I can tell that you put the time, focus and energy into not just creating a video, but building a detailed guide that can assist others in similar tasks - While I may not use your content in that way, I still enjoy having a video that I can watch while working without having to sit and stare at that screen

    Knew immediately what the problem was when you put the van into gear Ray. Had a little Buick Skylark do it to me when I was in my 20s. Was driving along, made a horrid noise from the front end, then wouldn't go any longer and made that same exact noise when pressing the accelerator. Broken CV shaft. Wasn't my car, so didn't know there were issues with it like that. Found out the hard way, lol.

As a young man I did so because I could not afford to pay someone to do it for me. Since I do not have a car lift, crawling under the vehicle was particularly annoying. Thank you for detailing this process, it was interesting to watch. Your video reminds me why qualified mechanics are the only people I let work on my cars and trucks now.

    Had to change the front bearing and the shaft refused to come off. Made a hydraulic puller with a 10,000 psi pump, removed all the studs and used 5 threaded rods to attach said puller and it finally came off with a lot of @#$@@& words. Love Canadian roads.
