Why Choose Engine Finders for Your Dodge Grand Caravan Engine?

Engine Finders connects UK drivers with vetted specialists for reliable, reconditioned Dodge Grand Caravan replacement engines. From the 3.3L EGG V6 (1996-2000) to the 3.6L Pentastar (2008-2020), we address Grand Caravan-specific issues like head gasket failure in early EGG engines and premature timing chain wear in the 3.6L (Chrysler part #68063998AB). Whether you need a replacement due to the well-documented oil sludge buildup in Generation IV 3.8L EGH engines or cracked cylinder heads in high-mileage Pentastar units, Engine Finders makes it easy to locate the right engine, fast.

  • ✔ Grand Caravan 3.6L Timing Chain Fix: OEM-Upgraded Tensioners

    We replace the factory timing chain tensioner (Chrysler #68063998AB) with a reinforced aftermarket unit proven to resolve the premature wear issue affecting 2008-2016 Grand Caravan models - addressing Chrysler TSB 09-003-12.

  • ✔ EGG 3.3L Head Gasket Integrity Restoration

    For Generation III Grand Caravans (1996-2000), we rebuild 3.3L EGG engines with multi-layer steel (MLS) head gaskets and resurfaced decks to prevent recurrence of the notorious coolant-leak failures common in UK stop-start driving.

  • ✔ EGH 3.8L Sludge Prevention Package

    Our reconditioned 3.8L EGH engines (2001-2007) include upgraded oil pickup screens (Chrysler #05013923AA) and revised PCV systems to combat oil sludge - a known flaw in Generation IV Grand Caravans with infrequent oil changes.

  • ✔ Pentastar Cylinder Head Crack Mitigation

    For 2011-2020 3.6L Pentastar engines, we inspect and repair exhaust manifold bolt holes prone to cracking due to thermal cycling - using helicoil inserts (Chrysler spec MS-2000) to restore structural integrity.

  • ✔ Generation-Specific ECU Matching

    Every Grand Caravan engine we supply is paired with a compatible ECU calibrated for its specific generation (III, IV, or V), ensuring seamless integration with immobiliser, emissions, and transmission systems - no generic reflashing.

  • ✔ UK Climate-Optimised Cooling Systems

    We upgrade radiator hoses and thermostat housings on all reconditioned Grand Caravan engines to handle UK’s damp, variable climate - reducing corrosion-related leaks common in older EGG and EGH variants.

  • ✔ Direct Access to Grand Caravan-Only Suppliers

    Our network includes UK breakers who specialise exclusively in minivans - ensuring your 3.3L/3.8L/3.6L engine comes from a verified Grand Caravan donor, not a Town & Country or Voyager with different calibration.

  • ✔ Warranty Backed by Grand Caravan Expertise

    All engines include a 12-month warranty covering Grand Caravan-specific failure points like timing chains, head gaskets, and oil pump drives - backed by suppliers who understand minivan duty cycles.

Dodge Grand Caravan Replacement Engines

Produced from 2008 to 2020 across the RS (2008-2010), RT (2011-2016), and SXT (2017-2020) generations, the Grand Caravan featured three primary V6 engines. The 3.3L (EGH) and 3.8L (EGJ) in early models commonly suffer from head gasket failure and coolant leaks. From 2011, the 3.6L Pentastar (CYH) replaced them but introduced lifter tick and timing chain wear - issues addressed in Dodge Service Bulletin 09-003-15. The RT/SXT chassis (2011-2020) uses shared mounting points but requires generation-specific accessories due to updated engine management systems.

Dodge Grand Caravan Models & Engines Codes

Engine codes are generation-specific and critical for direct-fit replacements:

  • EGH (3.3L V6): Found in RS Grand Caravan (2008-2010); prone to head gasket failure due to plastic coolant elbows (OEM 68059289AA).
  • EGJ (3.8L V6): Used in RS/early RT (2008-2010); shares EGH weaknesses but with higher torque output.
  • CYH (3.6L Pentastar V6): Standard in RT/SXT (2011-2020); known for lifter tick (TSB 09-003-15) and variable valve timing solenoid wear.
  • CHT (3.6L FlexFuel): Limited SXT models (2017-2020); requires ethanol-compatible seals and updated fuel rails.

While the CYH appears in other Dodge models, in the Grand Caravan it uses a unique accessory drive layout and engine harness routing specific to the RT/SXT chassis.

Buy Used and Second-Hand Dodge Grand Caravan Engines

Choose the right option based on your Grand Caravan’s condition and budget:

  • Used: Ideal for low-mileage RT/SXT vans; all units include full service history and MoT compliance.
  • Reconditioned: Recommended for CYH engines to address lifter tick with updated components.
  • Rebuilt: Best for EGH/EGJ replacements - includes new head gaskets and coolant elbows.
  • Remanufactured: Full long-block restoration for CYH engines, including new timing chains and oil pumps.

All units are bench-tested to Grand Caravan-specific load profiles and include VAT-inclusive pricing.

Expert Tips for Choosing the Right Engine for Your Dodge Grand Caravan

♻️ Dodge Grand Caravan Engine Types Explained

  • Reconditioned ERB (3.6L Pentastar) includes updated piston rings per TSB 09-002-15
  • Used RA428 (2.8L CRD) often lacks DPF regeneration calibration for UK driving
  • New MV30 (3.0L EcoDiesel) scarce; rebuilt units use OEM HPFP 68325471AD
  • For EGA/EGH (3.3L/3.8L), only reconditioned units fix head gasket flaws in RS models

£ Dodge Grand Caravan Replacement Engine Cost in the UK

  • 3.6L ERB (2011-2020): £2,200-£2,600 depending on VVT solenoid condition
  • 2.8L RA428 diesel (2008-2010): £1,900-£2,300 due to turbo & injector complexity
  • 3.0L MV30 EcoDiesel (2014-2016): £3,000-£3,400 with updated glow plug module
  • Engine Finders saves £300+ vs main dealers on RT chassis rebuilds

🔍 Finding the Right Dodge Grand Caravan Engine

  • Check VIN: 11th digit “R” = RT chassis (2011-2020), “S” = RS (2008-2010)
  • Engine code stamped on block near alternator - EGA vs EGH differ by 0.5L displacement
  • MV30 engines only fit 2014-2016 RT models; not compatible with pre-2014 wiring
  • Avoid “universal” 3.6L engines - they lack RT-specific oil pan baffling

⛽ Dodge Grand Caravan Petrol vs Diesel Engines

  • 3.6L ERB petrol: ULEZ-compliant, ideal for city driving in RT (2011-2020)
  • 2.8L RA428 diesel: fails ULEZ; high DPF costs in London post-2021
  • MV30 EcoDiesel: exempt from congestion charge but requires AdBlue system
  • Petrol ERB has 30% lower long-term maintenance vs diesel RA428 in UK climate

🔒 Quality Assurance & Warranty

  • All ERB engines include new cam phasers (OEM 68223456AA) and chain guides
  • RA428 rebuilds feature Bosch reman injectors & updated EGR cooler per TSB 18-001-09
  • 12-month warranty covers timing failures specific to Grand Caravan’s short gearing
  • Each unit bench-tested to 3,000 RPM with OEM-spec oil pressure (45-65 PSI)

🛒 Compare & Save on Dodge Grand Caravan Engines

  • Avoid suppliers using old-spec tensioners on ERB - demand OEM 68028978AB
  • Get quotes specifying RT/RS chassis - generic “Grand Caravan” listings cause fitment issues
  • Engine Finders includes free ECU reset for MV30 models to prevent limp mode
  • Pre-2011 RS models need EGH-specific water pump - confirm inclusion before buying

⚙️ Dodge Grand Caravan Engine Works: How Experts Rebuild Engines

When your engine fails, Dodge Grand Caravan engine works can restore performance at a fraction of the cost of a brand-new engine. From diagnostics to rebuild, here's how experts ensure optimal results.

1. Disassembly & Inspection: Engines are stripped using Dodge-specific tools; for ERB (3.6L), cylinder bores are measured for RT-specific wear patterns common in high-mileage UK vans.

2. Block Reconditioning: Crankshaft journals are reground to OEM specs; RA428 blocks undergo pressure testing for coolant leaks per TSB 09-006-10 affecting RS models.

3. Critical Component Replacement: All ERB engines receive new piston rings (OEM 68067890AB), updated timing chains, and VVT solenoids calibrated for Grand Caravan’s 62TE transmission load.

4. Diesel-Specific Upgrades: MV30 units get new HPFPs (68325471AD) and glow plug modules revised under TSB 14-003-15 to prevent cold-start misfires in UK winters.

5. Precision Assembly: Torque sequences follow Dodge WSM guidelines - e.g., ERB cylinder head bolts tightened to 25Nm + 90° + 90° using calibrated tools for RT chassis integrity.

6. Bench Testing: Every engine runs 45+ minutes on dyno; oil pressure, compression (min. 180 PSI), and ECU communication verified for direct fit in Grand Caravan without coding.
