Started vehicle to pull into shop noticed fuel light is on, has little fuel. Put into drive and noticed a clunk while accelerating, possible broken engine mount. See if customer wants us to look into that concern. Removed cover to access that radiator cap, found low on coolant. Filled and pressure tested, system can only handle 3 psi of pressure before it sprays out of the radiator, found coolant hoses are hard as well. Recommend replacing the radiator w/ cap, hoses. Upper and lower as well as the heater hoses. Vehicle is equipped with front and rear heat. Heater hoses should come from the dealer. After repair i can test drive and test other components. Oil life 94%.
HEATER HOSES – Remove & Replace – Main Heater,Both –
Replaced radiator and hoses, filled with coolant and pressure tested. Vehicle held pressure and no other leaks found at this time. Test drove, vehicle did not over heat and fans cycle on and off with heat.

Upon visual inspection of your vehicle, we noticed your vehicle's rear main seal, oil pan gasket, oil cooler lines, valve cover gaskets are all leaking. We also noticed your vehicle is leaking coolant from the heater hose which is off from thermostat housing to the coolant reservoir. We recommend replacing both heater hoses. We also found the passenger side exhaust manifold has a exhaust leak as well. We recommend replacing the exhaust manifold gaskets as well. NOTES: the exhaust manifold bolts will be soaked overnight as to try to prevent the bolts from breaking. IF..the bolts break, there will be a additional cost to extract the bolts from the head. HOPEFULLY, this will not happen. In regards to the transmission, there are no leaks at this time and the transmission fluid is red in color! After replacing heater hoses pressure tested and found steem vent gaskets seepimg coolant rec replacing gaskets. After work performed cleaned as best as we could may have some residule.

We scanned for codes and found P0171 lean bank 1 and P0174 lean bank 2. We then monitored live data and verified the engine is running lean. We checked the mass air flow sensor and found it dirty. We cleaned the mass air flow sensor and monitored live data again and found no change in the fuel trim data. We checked for a vacuum leak in the front of the intake and did not find any. The next step is to remove the passenger seat and dog house and trouble shoot first by check fuel pressure at the back side of the engine area. We removed the passanger seat and dog house and found a vacuum leak from a vacuum line at the back of the intake. We removed the line and found a second vacuum line leaking as well. We replaced both vacuum lines, cleared the codes, monitored live data, and found thenfuel trims are now within spec. We test drove the vehicle and no codes returned.
We connected the A/C machine and found the high side pressure was higher than spec. We recovered the system and found it was over charged causing the compressor to short cycle. We replaced the service valves pulled the system into a vacuum and re charged with the proper amount of refrigerant. We tested the A/C and found it now is operating according to specification.

We performed a starting system test. We came across your vehicle's starter and battery both need replacement. The battery cold crank amperage is at 33% ( 203 out of 600 CCA ). We connected a jumper to check if vehicle would start, however it did not crank at all which tells us the starter is no longer in operating condition and requires a replacement. Recomend replacing the starter and battery to solve this issue.

Performed a diagnostic test using the diagnostic scanner tool to pull DTCs on this vehicle. We came across P2202 NOx sensor circuit low voltage bank 1 sensor 1, P20EE NOx catalyst efficiency below threshold, P2BAD exhaust NOx concentration high. Recommendation to solving this issue would be to replace NOx sensor bank 1 sensor 1, clear codes and take vehicle on a test drive to ensure repairs were done correctly. A bad NOx sensor can trigger the dash light to appear stating the exhaust fluid is in poor condition, after replacement of the NOx sensor we will recheck the condition of DEF to ensure it is in fact the sensor which caused the light to appear.
