Dodge Intrepid 2.7L engine problems Replace with 3.2
toyota1
cheaper and better solution for you. I own an automotive shop and we have
been installing the optional 3.2l engine with very successful results,
cheaper than a replacement 2.7l. If you have any questions or interest in
the 3.2 conversion, feel free to contact me via email.

emissions program, If the labels/vin/engine and all that dont match, it wont
fly thru, not to say thats considered tampering (federal offence) And what
about the engine controller??? 2.7-3.2??? i belive there is a difference

My 2.7 has just under 96,000 miles on it. Still has a lot of power, and no
smoking, whatsoever. What's the problem?

passed. Also the 2.7l ecu will run the 3.2 engines without any problems.
State laws vary depending on the state, and there are certain processes in
some states that require you to register a vehicle as "rebuilt" in this
situation.

cylinder heads are too small and it causes a large amount of sludge to
form, thus reducing the oil flow to the top end, and damaging timing chain
and valve train. as these are an interference engine, if the timing chain
breaks, pistons hit valves, and so on.. ive seen 2.7s with 40k miles on up
to 120k miles fail. it all depends on the maintenance of the vehicle. sorry
you feel that way about toyotas, but my truck with 200k miles and original
engine, etc, is much more impressive than my dodge intrepid 2.7 that
failed with 45k miles on it, and my dodge truck (used to have) that the
transmission failed at 70k, and both had had oil changes done every 4k
miles since new, trans fluid flush every 25k. it now has a 3.2 with almost
20k miles and is running perfectly.

nothing to prevent a motorist from tampering with their own vehicles. That
loophole has since been plugged.
THINGS NOT TO DO
Any of the following may be considered emissions tampering and get you into
trouble:
a.. Removing the EGR valve or plugging its vacuum lines
b.. Removing or disconnecting the PCV valve
c.. Removing the stock air cleaner and heat riser duct plumbing
d.. Removing the catalytic converter
e.. Removing or disconnecting the air pump
f.. Removing or modifying the stock distributor vacuum advance/retard
g.. Altering the stock ignition advance mechanism or timing curve
h.. Replacing the stock distributor with an aftermarket unit that is not
emissions certified
i.. Modifying, removing or replacing the stock computer or PROM chip with
a non-certified component
j.. Blocking the heat riser duct under the intake manifold
k.. Knocking out the filler restrictor on the fuel tank inlet pipe
l.. Replacing the stock non-vented gas cap with a vented cap
m.. Removing or disconnecting the fuel vapor recovery canister
n.. Changing the idle mixture or stock carburetor jetting
o.. Removing or modifying the carburetor choke
p.. Modifying or replacing the carburetor accelerator pump with
non-certified components
q.. Installing an intake manifold or racing manifold that lacks provisions
for the stock EGR valve and/or a heat riser duct
r.. Installing a carburetor that lacks the stock emission hookups
s.. Installing non-certified fuel injectors
t.. Installing a long duration "racing" cam that is not
emissions-certified
u.. Installing exhaust headers that lack provisions for a heat riser
valve, an air cleaner preheat stove or fittings for an oxygen sensor (if
required)
v.. Installing valve covers with open breathers or no fittings for a PCV
valve

timing chains or engine replacements due to sludge or lower end failures--
must not be too common yet in your area. I looked up intrepids on the local

For me, that "foreign manufacturer" builts Corollas only a few miles
from my home, and many people in my town make their living there.
Another major "foreign manufacturer" (Honda) builds vehicles just over
100km away in Aliston Ont - and there are a significant number of jobs
in our area supplying parts etc for that plant as well.
Then there is tha "German" company, that builds cars in Bramalea, also
within 100km of here, as well as in Windor, Belvedere Ind., Mexico,
and at least a dozen other places - the company formerly known as
Chrysler.
Larry Crites
their community. But where do the corporate profits go that pays the big
officer's salaries? There's still a Pentastar in Highland Park. I know,
there is no "American" auto manufacturer anymore, with all the imported
parts, assembly across our border, etc. But, at least the assembly portion
is North American. Besides, I like Canada. Has lots of pretty areas. A lot
of the people are nice, too.

what percent of the vehicle had been assembled here and what had been done
in japan-- it was 25% japan, 75% usa. there were 4-runners there that were
90% usa, so the "foreign" auto manufacturers are constructing or making
parts for overseas and assemblitng the vehicles here just as much as the
american automakers are-- + ford owns 2 "foreign" manufacturers, and
chrysler owns at least 1, and has for a long time, and chryslers real
headquarters are in Germany, just as Toyotas' headquarters are in japan==

had 83k on it, and i pulled out of work only to hear major rattling and
smoking of the engine when i got home. And the sad thing was, I changed
the oil once, and i put over 3 quarts of oil back into it before the
engine blew up. Luckily, I had a warranty on it, but now my dealer
swindled me out of $500 and lied to me about the warranty company. Im in
litigations with him now. What a piece of dog turd. I never even got to
drive for about 2000 miles. Crap. Ill never buy a dodge again.

The 2.7L engine is known to have a tendency to sludge up. Oil flow to
bearings and timing chain gets blocked and the expected problems happen.
This isn't the only engine that does it; the Toyota V6 in Camrys and
the Sienna minivan is also known to be a sludger. It's still a small
minority of the engines that suffer this fate, but more than one would
expect these days, when engines routinely go 200K-300K or more between
overhauls.
The problems are made worse by Severe Service operation, which in
reality covers just about EVERYBODY (take a look at the maintenance
schedule, which defines severe service; if your driving includes ANY ONE
of the conditions noted, that's severe service). Delaying oil changes
is a no-no with this engine, and full synthetic oil is said to eliminate
the problem since it hardly builds up any sludge. Engine people say
that if you have a 2.7L engine, change the oil immediately, use full
synthetic oil, and go by the Severe Service schedule.
It's altogether possible that the prior owner was one of those slobs who
never changes the oil in their cars.
bigdan4712
japan, is reason why this car needs extreme maintenance schedules. You
shouldn't have to be so careful with a car. Thats my dad swears never buy

knows a hell of alot more about cars then you could wish you could know.
my maintenance schedule was proper, as a matter of fact, i had my oil
changed before the car even needed an oil change. and don't forget, i
owned this car for 2 and half months. i think your just a die hard dodge
fan, and you just absolutely LOVE to work on cars just like FORD people.
i don't see how i am a moron because it isnt my fault that the car was a
POS. how could you say i am a moron, when i took good care of the vehicle,
and checked the oil at every gas fill up and it just burned oil. how about
that for dodge? i put 3, count em, 3 quarts of oil back into the dodge over
a period of time because it burned it. i can pull up a whole list of people
i know that has more problems than they can count on the fingers with their
dodges. how does that make me a moron? because i am smarter than you are,
and buy chevrolets? how about my dad has been chevys for years, and we
have had no serious problems with them whatsoever other than door locks no
working. which is minimal compared engine damage and head gasket like
dodge. we have owned over 5 chevy astro vans, and they all had 300k miles
plus on them before we got rid of them. my parents last lumina (1992) ran
to 212k and we got rid of it because my mom was bitching about a new car.
we then bought another (1997) lumina, and it has 207k on it. i dont think
chevys are Pieces of shit either. im sorry you feel that way about me, but
i just proved you wrong. the only way that i would be a moron is because i
bought a dodge. oh, by the way, quit bitching.

OK, I'll explain to you why you are stupid. Because..... you come in here
saying "dodge's suck" with no real basis. You seem to have had ONE bad
experience with ONE Dodge. That doesn't make ALL Dodges suck. See? Do
you see now why you are stupid to say that? Also, you cannot possibly
"gurantee" that your dad knows more than me, because you absolutely do not
know how much I know. Get it?

Nope, I'm just an average Dodge fan, I own 3 of them at the moment, and
love all 3. Haven't had one single problem with any of them. I've also
owned two others that I have sold (in perfect running condition). I don't
really like to work on cars, although I do occasionally.

And I can produce a (probably larger) list of people I know that don't
have problems with their Dodges. What does that prove?
> im sorry you feel that way about me, but i just proved you wrong.
You did? You *proved* it? How?
> only way that i would be a moron is because i bought a dodge.
OK, so you do admit to being a moron, then. I mean, you bought a Dodge,
so according to YOU, you must be a moron. Is that right?

possible to do a 3.5L, as for the most part they are the same as the 3.2,
except for displacement--as far as computer differences in the 3.5L, not
sure, but the 3.2 is the same as the 2.7... There are several minor things
required to do the changeover from a 2.7 to 3.2--- air intake piping,
dipstick tube, throttle and cruise cables, heater and radiator hoses, and
a power steering line. The right exhaust pipe has to be shortened and an
oil cooler added. other than that, the a/c lines have to be rerouted to
the top of the engine. We've been getting engines with all the
accessories, starter, alt, p/s, etc, already attached. Wiring is all the
same... its a matter of 3 plugs near the ecm.... they have gone very
smoothly so far and can be done in about 2 days-- if you have a lift and
the equipment. we just drop the cradle engine and all out the bottom of
the car, change everything over, and install it back in. The 2.7 ecu and
wiring will run the 3.2 no problem.

it went in to the safe mode. where the check engine light flashes and

Hooked it back up and ran good for about a week then it did it again.
Someone told me the ecm was over loading and would have to install the 3.2
ecm. I bought the one the 3.2 engine was with. Put it on and nothing. So
I bought the bcm (body control module) put it on and nothing. Any help?

I am interested in learning more about this. My Intrepid's engine has
recently quit working (on my way to an oil change, ironically enough!).
I'm not one to lash out and blame others, whether it be the manufacturers
or previous owners, I am just looking for more inexpensive alternatives to
a repair rather than purchasing a new vehicle. I love my Intrepid and I
worked hard to earn enough funds to buy it, if it has a chance to be saved
I would like to do so. It is difficult to commute to college and work
depending on rides and borrowing cars. Also please include any risks
you've heard of with this conversion. Thank you.

Max power... I appreciate your years of working on the Dodges. Please Would appreciate your business email so I may pick your brain for advice on my Dodge Intrepid 2003 2.5 she runs good, but there are hiccups at times. Over 150,000 miles This is the second engine.

A couple of questions:
Is the 3.2 a better engine without the oil pressure issues of the 2.7?
What is different that will need to be changed to fit the 3.2 in?
Since I am a Volvo tech, (yeah Toyota makes great stuff) I need a good source of step by step to change this 2.7 out to 3.2 in a friend's car and an estimate of what I should charge.
Thanks
