Inspected and Found – We found cylinder #1 is misfiring, and could see through the oil cap hole, the rocker is not moving, indicating either a failed lifter, or possibly a damaged camshaft. After removing the cylinders heads, we found the camshaft is not damaged and will only need the lifters replaced.

Inspected and Found – The main noise was a result of the driveline center support bearing fasteners needing to be re-torqued to specifications. After doing this, the main noise is gone. There is still a slight clunk from the rear of the vehicle just as it comes to a stop. This is likely from a shock bushing, or another bushing, but can not pinpoint it at this time. It will need to develop to verify and remedy this. There is also a slight shake above 50mph. Recommend having the tires re-balanced.

Inspected and Found – The window regulator was removed before arrival. The regulator appears to have been ran all the way down after removal, and has kinked the cable. The initial failure of the window was the window switch. The front sway bar end links are very worn out, likely causing the clunking noise that is being heard. Recommend replacing them. Also recommend taking the vehicle to an alignment shop to check for damage.

TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY – Remove & Replace – Passenger Side
Inspected & Found – All of the vehicle fluids, tune up items, belts and coolant hoses are in good condition. Front brakes are at about 20%. Rear brakes are at about 70%. We replaced the right taillight assembly due to being broken. The left taillight should also be replaced but was not available at this time. The reverse light was full of water, so we drilled a small drain hole.

Inspected and Found – We found code P0128 (Coolant Thermostat – Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulating Temperature), indicating a stuck open thermostat and keeping the cooling fan on after the vehicle is shut off. The battery is also testing poor at 65%. During our final test drive, the check engine light returned with code P0430 (Catalyst Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 2), and will need a new catalytic converter to repair.

Inspected & Found – The transmission fluid is very dark and the torque converter is slipping/shuddering, indicating the transmission is most likely beginning to fail.

Inspected and Found – We found the coolant level was slightly low, but after topping off, found no flow through the heater or radiator, indicating a possible issue with the water pump. When we removed the water pump, we did not find an impeller issue, but did find signs of it leaking, and have replaced it due to that issue. With no signs of the water pump causing the lack of flow issue, we believe a stuck-closed thermostat is the next possible cause, and recommend having it replaced. We also found that the radiator is leaking and will also need to be replaced. The customer has declined any further repair at this time, and we have only filled the system with water due to the radiator leak. With only water in the cooling system, there is no freeze protection and recommend flushing with coolant as soon as possible, otherwise engine damage could occur.

Services Performed
Inspected and Found – We found codes P0101 (MAF Sensor Performance), P0540 (Intake Heater Circuit), P0038 (Turbo Control Position Not Learned), P0405 (EGR), P0674, P0676, and P0678 (Glow Plug Cylinders 4,6, & 8). Codes P0101, P0540, P003A, and P0405 all reset after clearing. Code P003A: All of the circuits and signals test good. Diagnosis leads to replacement of the turbo. This could also cause the smoking and code P0101. The engine temperature fluctuates a lot. The temperature difference across the radiator is too high. We suspect a restricted radiator, but the fluctuation is consistent with what we have seen from aftermarket thermostats. Recommend starting with OE thermostats, but if the problem persists, then it will need a new radiator.
Inspected & Found – The transfer case rear output seal is leaking. All of the other vehicle fluids, belts, and coolant hoses are in good condition at this time. Front and rear brakes are all at about 70% remaining.

Inspected and Found – We found codes P0030, P0053, and P0135. These are all upstream O2 sensor heater circuit codes. The PCM expects to see active O2 sensor readings within a certain time frame. Due to the heater circuit not functioning correctly, the PCM is not getting accurate readings in the expected time frame, and reacts to inaccurate readings, causing the engine to die. It restarts back up and will continue the cycle until the accurate readings are detected. It will need a new upstream O2 sensor to correct this issue.
