Build time: usually 5-7 days, plus shipping (varies by engine; contact us for current availability).

Fitment

Confirm your engine

• Gen 1 vs Gen 2: some 2016-2017 vehicles (for example Grand Cherokee and Durango) may have either the Gen 1 or Gen 2 engine. Send us your VIN.
• Other applications (for example Chrysler 200 and Dodge Durango) are not listed above. Send us your VIN and we'll check.
• VIN 8th digit: G. Gen 1 and Gen 2 Pentastars both use G, so the VIN code alone doesn't tell them apart. Confirm by model year, and send us your VIN for overlap years.

Notes

• The engine as shipped fits many applications. What differs between vehicles is the timing cover, oil pan and oil pickup tube.

Not covered

• Gen 2 (upgraded) 3.6L Pentastar: see our Gen 2 Pentastar listing

Boost-ready forged version

Adding a supercharger or turbo? See our Boost-Ready Forged 3.6L Pentastar Gen 1 listing (forged pistons and rods, ARP head studs, MLS gaskets).

Break-in

The first 1,000 miles are the break-in period. Use conventional oil only, change the oil and filter at 500 miles, vary your RPM, and avoid towing, heavy loads and long idling. Check your oil level regularly, since some oil burn-off is normal until the rings seat. Following the break-in procedure is required to keep your warranty.

Warranty, core and performance parts

Warranty: 1-year unlimited-mile warranty on the engine only; labor is not covered. Optional 3-year extended warranty available for $1,500 (includes labor coverage at $50/hr). See our Warranty & Refund Policy. Add the 3-year extended warranty to your order.

Core charge: none. We'll gladly take your old engine off your hands and pay the shipping to get it to us. All engines are built to order.

Performance parts: we do not blueprint engines. We can install custom or performance parts you supply (you pay for the parts and shipping them to us; no extra installation charge), but this waives the 1-year warranty.

Returns: unused engines in their original packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery (20% restocking fee). Installed engines can't be returned; the warranty covers you after that. Buyer pays return shipping. Full details in our Warranty & Refund Policy.
