Remanufactured 3.8L Jeep Wrangler Engines
A 3.8L Jeep Wrangler engine replacement starts with a confirmed application and a clear repair plan. Fraser offers three remanufactured packages for customers comparing an OEM-spec replacement, a Fraser Advantage build with updates, or an Advantage assembly with an upgraded timing cover and oil pump.
For 2007–2011 Wrangler JK and Wrangler Unlimited 3.8L inquiries, provide the full VIN and original vehicle configuration. Chrysler and Dodge customers can also request a VIN-specific 3.8L application check before selecting an assembly.
Renewed Internal Components
All three listings include a remanufactured block and cylinder heads, new pistons, rings, bearings, timing components, gaskets, and seals. The rotating assembly is balanced and tested.
Fraser Advantage Updates
Options 2 and 3 add an upgraded block, updated heads, and applicable major OEM and aftermarket TSB updates. Ask which updates apply to your confirmed assembly.
Updated Cover & Oil Pump
Option 3 specifically includes the upgraded timing cover and oil pump. Compare this package with the external parts needed for your installation.

2007–2011 Jeep Wrangler JK 3.8L Engine Fitment
The Wrangler guide covers 2-door and 4-door JK applications originally equipped with the 3.8L V6. Model year alone does not establish interchangeability. Fraser verifies the assembly against your full 17-character VIN.
| Vehicle | Application | Before Ordering |
|---|---|---|
| 2007 Jeep Wrangler / Wrangler Unlimited JK | Factory 3.8L V6 applications | Verify full VIN and original engine equipment |

Address the cause of failure
3.8L Engine Problems to Discuss With Your Installer
Oil consumption, overheating, internal noise, low compression, or an oil-pressure warning can prompt a search for a replacement 3.8L engine. Have a qualified repair facility establish the cause and extent of the damage before deciding on an engine replacement.
Overheating & Coolant Loss
Have the shop inspect the cooling system and check for cylinder-head or gasket damage. Related cooling-system repairs should be addressed as part of the installation plan.
Oil Consumption
Track oil use and have the shop check for leaks, ring wear, and other causes. Repeated low-oil operation and internal damage should be evaluated before choosing the repair.
Timing-System Noise
Rattling or timing-related faults need diagnosis. All three listed engine packages include new timing components; your installer should verify all required vehicle-side repairs.
Oil Pressure & Bearing Wear
Low oil pressure, knocking, or contamination calls for diagnosis of lubrication and internal condition. Identify the original failure before installing the replacement.
Misfires & Compression Loss
Persistent misfires can have several causes. Compression and leak-down testing can help the shop distinguish internal damage from ignition, fuel, or control-system concerns.
Leaks & External Components
Review covers, seals, cooling parts, intake components, and accessories with the installer. The confirmed order determines which parts arrive with the engine.
Review condition, parts & coverage
Used vs. Remanufactured 3.8L Engines
A used 3.8L engine carries the condition and service history of its donor assembly. All three Fraser packages specify a remanufactured block and heads plus new internal wear components, a balanced and tested rotating assembly, and stated warranty coverage.
Compare the Complete Repair
Review the engine price alongside supplied parts, installation labor, related repairs, freight, core requirements, and warranty coverage. Ask for the exact component list before arranging installation.
Understand Zero-Mile Remanufacturing
Zero-mile describes service mileage since remanufacturing. The assembly contains the specified renewed and replacement components; it is not a claim that every casting is newly manufactured.
Choose your protection
Nationwide Warranty Coverage for Your 3.8L Engine
OEM Spec: 3 Years / Unlimited Miles
The standard remanufactured package includes nationwide parts and labor coverage, subject to Fraser’s written warranty. Optional No-Fault coverage is available with purchase.
Options 2 & 3: 5 Years / Unlimited Miles
Both Fraser Advantage packages include nationwide parts and labor coverage plus 1 year of No-Fault coverage free. Review available upgrades with Sales before selecting additional protection.
Warranty terms govern eligibility, labor reimbursement, maintenance, limitations, exclusions, and claims. DIY installations receive parts-only coverage. Review the Warranty Center and request the terms for your confirmed assembly.

Answers before you order
3.8L Dodge, Jeep & Chrysler Engine FAQs
How much does a remanufactured 3.8L Jeep engine cost?
The OEM-spec engine is $2,999.00, SKU CRTN38002-J1-AAR. Fraser Advantage with applicable TSB updates is $3,350.00, SKU FEJ38R-HD. Fraser Advantage with an upgraded timing cover and oil pump is $3,699.00, SKU FEJ38R-HDTCOP. Fraser confirms fitment, availability, selected options, taxes, and fees before processing.
What is the difference between the three 3.8L engine options?
Option 1 is the OEM-spec remanufactured build with a 3-year/unlimited-mile nationwide parts and labor warranty. Options 2 and 3 include the Fraser Advantage upgraded block, updated heads, applicable major TSB updates, and a 5-year/unlimited-mile nationwide parts and labor warranty plus 1 year of No-Fault coverage free. Option 3 specifically adds the upgraded timing cover and oil pump.
Does every option include an oil pump and timing cover?
All three component lists include an oil pump. Option 3 specifically includes an upgraded oil pump and upgraded timing cover. A timing cover is not listed as included with options 1 or 2; confirm any additional external components with Sales.
What years use the 3.8L Jeep Wrangler engine?
This listing covers 2007–2011 Jeep Wrangler JK and Wrangler Unlimited 3.8L inquiries. Verify the original engine and full VIN, because model year, emissions package, sensors, transmission, and vehicle setup affect the correct replacement assembly.
Will all three options fit my vehicle?
The three options are build and coverage packages. Fraser must verify the correct version for your full VIN and original engine configuration before confirming availability or fitment. Chrysler and Dodge 3.8L inquiries also require an application check; do not assume a Wrangler assembly fits another vehicle.
What comes with a Fraser remanufactured 3.8L engine?
All packages list an engine block, cylinder heads, new pistons, rings, bearings, timing components, gaskets and seals, a balanced and tested rotating assembly, and an oil pump. The Advantage builds specify an upgraded block, updated heads, and applicable TSB updates. Option 3 adds the upgraded timing cover and oil pump. Review each component list for the confirmed assembly.
What 3.8L engine problems should my installer investigate?
Ask the shop to diagnose oil consumption, low oil pressure, internal noise, timing-system wear, overheating, compression loss, persistent misfires, or leaks. These symptoms require inspection and do not by themselves establish that a complete replacement engine is necessary.
Is a remanufactured 3.8L engine different from a used engine?
A used engine retains the condition and service history of its donor assembly. These remanufactured packages specify renewed block and head components plus new internal wear parts. Compare documented condition, supplied parts, installation requirements, core terms, shipping, and written coverage.
What warranty comes with each option?
Option 1 includes 3 years/unlimited miles of nationwide parts and labor coverage. Options 2 and 3 include 5 years/unlimited miles of nationwide parts and labor coverage plus 1 year of No-Fault coverage free. Written terms govern eligibility, labor reimbursement, limitations, exclusions, and claims. DIY installations receive parts-only coverage.
Can I add No-Fault coverage and installation products?
Listed No-Fault options are $99 for 1 year, $199 for 2 years, $299 for 3 years, $399 for 4 years with Premium Pay, and $499 for 5-year Elite Maxx with Premium Pay. The Premium Installation Kit is $250 and Premium Engine Break-In Oil is $49.99. Options 2 and 3 already include 1 year of No-Fault coverage; Sales confirms the appropriate upgrade and final pricing.
Is shipping free, and do I need to return a core?
The offer includes shipping and core pickup to qualifying commercial addresses in the continental United States. Eligible orders have no upfront core charge, but a qualifying original core must still be returned under the order agreement. Confirm any waiver terms, return deadline, and residential or liftgate charges with Sales.
What does zero-mile remanufactured mean?
Zero-mile refers to service mileage since remanufacturing. It describes a renewed assembly with the specified components, not a claim that every casting is a brand-new factory part.
How do I order, and when is my payment charged?
Use a Buy Now / Place Order button to open the Fraser order form. Provide the selected SKU, full VIN, delivery information, and desired options, then call 800-731-3177 and press 1 for Sales to confirm your order. Payment is not charged until your order is verbally verified.
