Today we're tearing down the OTHER 3800! Just kidding, but the Dodge/Jeep 3.8L V6 that you'd find in both minivans AND Wranglers is a pretty reliable little unit. Somehow though, this one blew up at just 74k miles, an incredibly premature failure! But why? How? This video shows how even low mileage well taken care of engines can blow up, but not without reason!
Why am I doing this? I own and run a full service auto salvage business called Importapart. Part of our model includes buying blown up engines and dismantling them, salvaging the good parts to resell and recycling the rest. We do not rebuild engines, merely supply parts to those who do!
I really hope you enjoyed this teardown. As always I love all of the comments, feedback and even the criticism!
Catch you on the next one!
-Eric

Owner states: "I didn't hear anything unusual, it just lost power." Mechanic turns key on and is immediately deafened by the 150db of noise coming from the quartet of 15 in subwoofers in the back seat.

The rod damaging the starter reminds me of a Ferrari press release many years ago. Ferrari, being ever anxious to downplay engine issues, stated that their car had retired because of alternator failure. That was strictly true but more than a tad misleading - the alternator "failed" when a rod came through the block and smashed the alternator.

After 50+ years as a mechanic I have only seen 2 or 3 of the 3.3/3.8 blown up. Those engines all burned a bit of oil because of low tension rings. I have seen one with over 900.000 on it as a cab. I could barely hear it run. I drive a Caravan every day with over 300.000 on it and it still runs well. I take care of it and that helps a lot. The engine will outlast the body.

Spark plugs, wires and coils, oil pan rotted out, low coolant pipe rotted, starter, alternator, belt, tensioner and last but not least, valve cover gaskets.

It was two-wheel drive and was used as my run around truck for my lawn service, but my main trucks were small block Chevy 80-90s Silverado's, but they were gas hogs...! I feel in love with that straight six and then I remembered an old 88 F250 work truck an old boss had... Nowadays I have a fleet of 94-96 f-series with the 300cid/ 5-speed drive trains...! I can't say which one is better, the 4.0L or the 4.9L(300cid)... they're both bulletproof...!!! And that is the exact reason that they are not produced anymore...!!! Planned obsolescence can't work if the engines won't blow up...!!! Thanks for sharing... Keep up your awesomeness...!

oh this is easy, the Ford 300 is the better engine. I've seen people TRY to blow them up and the engine flips them off and says "please sir, can I have some more?". Jeep 4.0L is a great engine in its own right, but that head will warp in a quick minute if it gets too hot which is really its only bad spot overall. Then again, I think ANY of the old school Inline 6 engines are great, the 225 Slant 6, 200 and 250 from Chevy, the 300 Ford, 232/258 AMC (which is what the 4.0L is born from). The biggest weakness of any later I6 engine is when they change out that cast iron head for aluminum, it introduces a weak point moreso than the iron heads.

Your sage advice about engines not healing themselves took me way back to when I was a college kid driving a wascally 1980 wabbit . Pretty sure I ran the oil level on one of my old man’s cars, not sure if it was that one, a different wabbit, or even a different car entirely but I’m pretty sure he had at least one engine overhauled at some point. Fast forward 35-plus years to now and I live in constant fear of my rice rocket blowing up if I go 3005 miles between oil changes. Getting old sucks.

As a guy who used to change oil for a living on everything from econoshitboxes to semi trucks....... Modern oil and filter tech is leaps and bounds better than it was in the 80s and 90s even. I wouldn't stray far from the 3k mark on conventional oils, but most stuff now requires at least a synthetic blend. On that, with a good filter, easy 5k. Personally I run a full synthetic high mileage oil, and a long life filter and run 10k change intervals. Have done this for many years now, had engines apart for maintenance and found spotless crankcase and oil systems.

Say what you will about these engines, if you take care of them, they are some of the most reliable engines Chrysler designed. I had a 3.3L engine (same engine, smaller displacement) in my 92 Chrysler Town and Country, and that thing had well over 650k on it when the 5th transmission finally went out in it and we finally retired it. It ran just fine though. One of the biggest issues with these later model engines is the aluminum heads. They will blow a head gasket really quick because there aren't enough head bolts. The engine was designed for a cast iron head and very little was done to replace them with the aluminum heads. The old 4.0L had similar issues, just not nearly as bad since it had way more head bolts.

The owner didn't hear it blow, because he has 35"+ mud tires with chopped tread growling so loud no one within 4 blocks can hear anything else either. Luckily, the mud tires have also never seen anything but pavement. There is also a 75% chance of a "Trail Rated" and "Salt Life" sticker somewhere on the Jeep.

I have the same engine in my wife’s Chrysler Town and Country I love it it’s very reliable other than oil consumption it’s approaching 227,000 miles and still going the main thing is that you got to stay on top of the oil level on these engines they are prone to consume a quart of oil every 700 to 1,100 miles these engines were built in Mexico 🇲🇽. They will consume 2 quarts of oil every 3,000 miles before oil change interval and filter. The only engine oil that I found that usually keeps it from consuming that much is Castrol high mileage synthetic blend 10w30 or 10w40 and always use a WIX Filter always WIX.

I've seen a lot of valve seat problems in these engines. Always front pass or rear driver sides. Usually the block and pistons survive fine with just a few scratches. Just do head replacement and send them back out for the next 120k miles. Used to know one that survived both at separate times and still drivin by the same owner to this day . Seems to happen around 120 and 240k miles on most of them. Overall good engine if you put a good set of heads on them and maintain them without going crazy.

..Same thing with the inspection hatch happened to me with the middle cylinder on an Audi inline 5. I crammed some cardboard over the hole and managed another 40 miles back to town, where it finally seized..

Out of “malice in the combustion chamber” and “ forbidden glitter” I reckon it’s always the best when the motors attempt to “self gap” the spark plug on their own.. The thing is when you leave the motor to self adjust the gap it always gets it incredibly wrong!

My first ro with an inspection port was a 1995 4Runner with the same V6 that was recalled for head gaskets. That owner said the same thing. "It lost power and stalled" I remember because of his description compared to what was wrong. I put a breaker bar on it and it didn't turn over. It had a hole from the thrown rod. This was maybe 1999.

I recently had an oil change shop leave the drain plug loose, finger tight loose, after an oil change. Had I not noticed the drips on the garage floor I might have lost that drain plug on the highway, which could cause a catastrophic failure in an reasonably clean engine. Sure glad I caught it!

Good video. I like the advice to get the engine from a minivan. It looks like a well designed engine for a Jeep or minivan. Cast Iron block, deep rails, cross-bolted mains (at least in the middle), aluminum head and for the most part not getting too fancy about things. Simple is good on these applications. I am hoping that the cam issue is just a anomaly. I would love it to be a worthy replacement for the old AMC straight 6, but that is not going to happen in this age of lifecycle engineering. I think your hypothesis on the damage being done while rock crawling makes sense. I think serious rock crawlers should get a dry sump, but that cost as much as an engine. And you still have to find room for a tank. I don't have a Jeep, but if I did, I wouldn't rock crawl up these crazy obstacles that are called "trails".

I use large branch cutters to cut oil filters without grinding. Obviously as long as it’s a little car filter the branch cutters I have fit all the way around an oil filter, just put in a vice and just one big squeeze. But sometimes it just crushes the filter so good to buy really good ones.

My thought, as soon as seeing how clean that engine was, is that the original owner took really good care of this car, but he sold it to some idiot who just put fuel in it and drove it.

I recently sold my 11 JKU. 3.8 was never a issue and regeared got around quite well on 40" tires. I never regretted buying the 2011 JK 3.8 vs the "new" 2012 3.6 JK at the time. The manual trans was a different issue and their awful designed throwout bearing setup.

I think it would help if anyone who doesn't really understand how an engine works would watch a few of Eric's videos. Even then, I just don't think many folks have a clue how fast the pieces in there are moving and really why there is oil in an engine.....it's just a black box that makes the car go.
