2006 Dodge Magnum starter

I hope you're sitting down when you get this.

Disconnect the battery
Install a steering wheel holder to lock the steering wheel in straight-ahead position.
Safely raise vehicle.
Remove the under body splash shield if equipped.
Remove the intermediate steering shaft center bolt.
Separate the intermediate steering shaft upper and lower shaft.
Disconnect the electrical connection at starter.
Remove the 3 starter mounting bolts and wiring clip.
Pull the starter forward and down.
Maneuver the starter up and around exhaust.
Work starter past the intermediate steering shaft to remove it from vehicle.

Glad to help. Let us know if you have questions in the future.

Did it stall when you were driving or at an idle? The white smoke concerns me. Steam is normal from the exhaust when first started. However, true white smoke usually indicates that coolant is getting into the combustion chamber. Have you noticed the coolant level dropping? Is there any discoloration or a creamy substance in the engine oil?

Let me know what you find.

Does it start right back up when it stalls? Has the check engine light come on? Have you checked the fuel pump pressure? Since it is stalling when you are moving and not at an idle, the fuel pump is my first guess and the first thing I would check.

Most likely the gaskets will eliminate the problem. If it doesn't, you may have excessive blow by allowing engine oil to enter the intake via the PCV system. However, I am concerned with the oil in the exhaust. You can actually see engine oil in the exhaust?

Install the new parts and let me know what happens.

When you get the click only, do you lose power to anything in the vehicle?

If the starter only clicks, either you have a weak battery, a poor connection at the battery, a weak ground, a poor connection at the starter, or the starter itself is bad.
