DODGE 3.6L V6 Engine

Engine Overview: The DODGE 3.6L V6 Engine

• A naturally aspirated V6 first introduced in 2011, it features dual overhead cams, 24 valves, and Variable Valve Timing (VVT). Used across a wide range of platforms including Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram models like Charger, Wrangler, Grand Cherokee, and more.

• Known for solid performance, decent fuel economy, and widespread parts availability—but certain model years experienced common issues like timing chain wear, cylinder head failures, and oil consumption. Reputable remanufacturers often include upgrades to counter these.

Buying Considerations & Tips

Warranty & Reliability

• Longer, robust warranties (e.g., Fraser Advantage’s 5-year/unlimited warranty) offer peace of mind and better protection against early failures.

• Shorter warranties (90 days or 3 months) are less protective—budget options but with potential risk.

Core Deposit Refund DODGE 3.6L V6 Engine

• Most remanufactured engines require a core deposit (e.g., US $600) that’s refunded once you send in your old engine in acceptable condition.

Type of Build

• Standard rebuilds restore factory specs; Fraser Advantage adds upgrades to fix known issues and enhance longevity.

• Used engines are more budget-friendly but come with wear and potential unknown condition.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Many listings require your VIN to confirm the correct engine variant; this avoids fitment errors.

• Always check your engine code specifications before purchasing.

Shipping & Handling

• Engines are heavy and shipped via freight on pallets. Handling fees, delivery restrictions (commercial vs. residential), and customs (if international) should be factored in.

Additional Kits

• Optional installation kits (water pump, hoses, filters, etc.) offered by Fraser (~US $249) are beneficial for ease of installation and reliability.

Summary Comparison Table DODGE 3.6L V6 Engine

Final Thoughts DODGE 3.6L V6 Engine

• If long-term reliability and robust warranty matter most, the Fraser Advantage build stands out—though it’s pricier, the value in performance and coverage may justify it.

• For a balance of cost and quality, Fraser Standard or Jeep Parts Depot remanufactured units are solid middle-tier options.

• If cost is the primary concern and you’re willing to accept higher mileage and potentially less warranty, used eBay engines are attractive but riskier.

• Always ensure fitment (use VIN), understand shipping logistics, and check warranty details before finalizing.
