deejizzle Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 hi I need to replace my engine in the DJ because the GF overheated it and coolant went into the block. im looking around for engines, can i get any 3.6 pentastar from 2011-2013 or does it have to be the AWD variant? i am seeing a lot of 3.6 caravan engines but a lot of them say FWD, wondering if its the same? can anyone also tell me what year engine i should be looking for? based on my research, my engine failed at the cylinder head like many in my year did. will a 2013 engine cure that? what parts of my cooling system should i replace? rad hoses/fan/pump and thermostat? thanks!

larryl Posted November 26, 2018 Report Share Posted November 26, 2018 The AWD feature is transmission (transfer case) related I think the engine would bolt directly to the bell housing and torque converter without any issue. Any wrecking yard would be able to tell you for sure jkeaton and 2late4u 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejizzle Posted November 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2018 Thanks for your reply. My mechanic mentioned that the coolant mixed with engine oil and so the engine is kaput. In light of this, what parts alongside the engine should I replace? I will make sure the rad is fine and fans are working, but beyond that what else?
