CHRYSLER 3.6 PENTASTAR 2012-2015 COOLING SYSTEMS
SUMMARY:
It has come to our attention at Sprintex, that Chrysler vehicles equipped with the Pentastar 3.6 V6 engine require special procedures to satisfactorily fill and bleed the engine cooling system. For proper operation of the vehicle, and to achieve the expected power uplift and acceptable driveability with Sprintex Tuning, it is essential that the engine cooling system be properly filled and bled. Chrysler maintenance instruction recommends a 20 point procedure to properly fill and bleed the cooling system in these vehicles. This includes use of a vacuum bleeder to fill the system.
