Chrysler 3.8L V6 Remanufactured Engine – 2007-2008

Description

A 9.6:1 compression ratio combined with 55 PSI hot cruise oil pressure outputs 240 lb-ft continuous torque to propel gross payload laden commercial service vans using this Chrysler 3.8L V6 Remanufactured Engine. Configured for 2007 to 2008 fleet vehicles, this updated pushrod iron block engine features revised crankshaft tone rings and electronic throttle control for continuous commercial duty.

Constructed with a heavy-wall cast iron 60-degree block, the unit sports an Ra 28 micro-inch deck surface. A micro-polished nodular iron crankshaft rotates within cross-bolted main caps, connected to drop-forged powdered metal rods and flat-top hypereutectic pistons. Bores receive diamond plateau honing for oil film retention under load. Total dry weight stands at 390 lbs with five-quart crankcase capacity.

Key Features of Chrysler 3.8L

Commercial transport fleets buy Chrysler 3.8L long block engine packages to keep municipal utility vans moving without unpredicted route disruptions. Rigid quality control testing guarantees long-term powertrain endurance under constant stop-start driving conditions across metropolitan distribution routes.

• Updated crankshaft target wheel communicates with modern powertrain control modules without signal drop.
• Cross-bolted main bearing bulkheads anchor the bottom end under severe payload hauling stress.
• Multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets withstand severe thermal cycling without coolant leakage.
• Chrysler 3.8L internal gerotor oil pump sustains 50 PSI pressure through overhead valve trains.
• Electronic throttle control calibration interfaces with vehicle powertrain controls for smooth acceleration.
• Powdered metal connecting rods resist elongation under severe engine brake deceleration stress.
• Graphite-coated piston skirts eliminate cylinder scuffing during cold winter morning startups.
• Hydraulic roller camshaft valvetrain components eliminate wear during long idle periods.

High Torque Pushrod Dynamic Ratings

Normal operating oil pressure maintains 20 PSI at hot idle and 45 to 60 PSI at 2,500 RPM cruise. Engine coolant temperature regulates between 190°F and 205°F through standard thermostatic flow. Power output measures 202 continuous horsepower at 5,200 RPM, providing 240 lb-ft torque at 4,000 RPM. A 9.6:1 compression ratio yields 175 to 185 PSI cranking compression. Heat rejection across radiator circuits reaches 3,850 BTU/min under Severe Commercial Fleet duty cycles across heavy regional freight corridors.

Updated Tone Ring Driveline Specs

The rear crankshaft flange incorporates a 4-bolt flexplate bolt pattern on a standard circular pitch circle. Front snout diameter is ground to 1.250 inches with precision keyways for damper installation. Dial indicators gauge crankshaft thrust endplay between 0.003 and 0.007 inches. Pilot bore fits Chrysler commercial automatic transmission torque converters without modification.

Updated Tone Ring Priming Protocols

Pressurize the internal main oil gallery with five quarts of 5W-20 motor oil using an oil priming tank before turning the ignition key. Bleed cooling circuit air to prevent localized hot spots around exhaust ports. Not engineered for continuous marine vessel operation, alcohol-fueled race conversions, or boost levels over 6 PSI.

• Check cockpit oil pressure gauges and fluid sight glasses each shift.
• Inspect engine cooling lines and serpentine belt wear every 5,000 miles.
• Drain crankcase engine oil and install fresh spin-on filter every 4,000 miles.

Updated Tone Ring Warranty Package Details
