Hi John! Thankyou for this video it has helped me a lot. Just wondering what tool you used to loosen those two upper bolts after you had pulled the intake? From top or from the side? Thanks...
Did you have to do anything extra with swapping over the rotating assembly? Oversized bearings? Grind the crank? I'm about to do this because my 3.8 in my Wrangler seized. I'd like to know what exactly I need to do. Thanks
The only thing you have to do is clearance a small area on the upper aluminum oil pan. The rod caps are bigger on the van rods. There is another vid on this series you can see. As for machining or bearings nothing different. It will drop right in the Jeep block
Yes and no. The internals were the same and the heads the same but the block at least the 2003 block was slightly different. I've read that 07+blocks are the same. I may have just had the wrong year.
@@johnbrakingground I later watched that you had a problem to solve by modifying the gusset of the oil pan where it was hitting the rodpin near bottom dead center. Man, I would sure love for you to be there to let me know what the connections are when I pull my 3.8 later this year.

The caravan engines piston rods are not cast /broken rod caps. They will not be so sure to spin a rod bearing. 3 8L loves to throw a rod bearing !!
The gunfire in the background is priceless
LOL I never even noticed it until you pointed it out. Yeah we live in a small town in the country.
I figured it wasn't chicago. Not enough gunfire.
4:12. You can get to those bolts (easier) with a 36 inch extension and go in from the back.
The ending... your fingers... ManCard Punched! Thx for a good video bro.
LOL thanks for commenting
Change that EGR valve too.

Take the fender off, 5 screws. Buy a kit with new plastic clips.
I replaced all the fenders. A couple times now. I have well over a 100k miles since this rebuild still going strong thanks
Hey my friend can you let me know if the flat wheel has a time position

Did the caravan engine end up working?
Yes and no. The internals were the same and the heads the same but the block at least the 2003 block was slightly different. I've read that 07+blocks are the same. I may have just had the wrong year.
