2015 ProMaster engine removal 3.6L

[@christophercoviello3968]

Bro, I love you. You made my job easier!!!

[@skittlerot]

I'm about to tackle this job, promaster lasted 308k miles.

Chrysler says to drop the whole engine trans together out of the bottom and then separate it. this doesn't look like a bad way to do it, however.

[@kennetholiva641]

Getting it high enough is an issue ,and we have high ceilings

[@ross1116]

Lifting it is a hightop problem. I love this way!

[@JrSpitty]

@@kennetholiva641 Ah this makes much more sense! I work with an 18k lift so I can easily stand under a promaster at work. lol

[@kennetholiva641]

I could only get it so high because of my rack, so had to try

[@charlesrean754]

I’m about to do mine motor lasted 518,000

[@isaacmartinez5667]

i need to change one tomorrow, is it really necessary to disassemble the whole front of the van ? or i can drop it with the transmission as if it was “like a Odyssea” ? Or I should do it like in the video ? Plz lmk

[@kennetholiva641]

I found it way easier to drop it all out

[@kennetholiva641]

Just saw this, let me know how it went

[@RyanFixesCars]

Did you end up pulling the trans with it? Also, mine is a 17, I found a low mile 3.6 out of a 17 Durango for a good price. You know if it'll work if I swap everything over?

[@ross1116]

Its not the same internal parts so less power. It will bolt together and drive though.

[@kennetholiva641]

It came out together so easy, plus you may not be able to get the vehicle very high so the easier the better

[@MrS-sk1py]

Took me 2 days too do a swap on mine it sucked I pulled the sub frame and trans out together

[@kennetholiva641]

Another reason to not listen to the book sometimes.

[@edtovar4294]

So did you need to take all of the top end off to get the engine out ?

[@kennetholiva641]

Not really, but since I was just learning how to pull it I wanted to be as easy as poss

[@brianheiden6623]

So did you rebuild it or replace motor. Bad valve is what I've been reading. Some people get lucky and go 400k miles so weird random motors go bad. Burning oil sounds like bad rings though. Did you tear it all down and find the issue? Hopefully better lifters are available and valves.

[@kennetholiva641]

Replaced w crate motor. Didnt open the core because my boss always sends it back super quick. Gonna do another one here soon.

[@ross1116]

Could also be bad valve seats letting oil drip into the cylinders.

[@danielnation9123]

How many miles were on the motor and why did you replace it?

[@kennetholiva641]

Burning oil. 100kish

[@arthurhudgens8213]

100.000 miles ain't that much .should of lasted much longer.but then again work vans live a hard life .tooling around town traffic jams scalding hot days typically overloaded. I have 135.000 on my pentastar no smoke yet thank god.i use conventional oil and filter every 3000 miles .stp 5w 20.
