Description

When replacing an engine, one of the most critical yet often overlooked factors is ensuring the exact engine specifications match your vehicle's original configuration to avoid compatibility issues. This listing features a 3.7L engine from a 2008 Dodge Nitro, identified by the 8th digit VIN 'K', which confirms the engine size and configuration. It is a front left replacement (FLR) designed for a 4-speed automatic transmission (4AT). The engine is graded 'A', indicating excellent condition, and the seller provides a video for a closer inspection, which can be invaluable for assessing the part's state before purchase. This engine is described as a "HOT COMP," suggesting it may be a high-compression variant, which can influence performance and compatibility. Buyers should verify if this matches their vehicle's original engine setup. The estimated CO2e savings of 1194kg noted by the seller reflects environmental benefits, possibly due to the engine's efficiency or condition. When considering this engine, compare it carefully with your vehicle's VIN and transmission type to ensure a proper fit. The 3.7L engine is a common option for the 2008 Dodge Nitro, but variations exist, so cross-checking is essential. This listing is specifically for a Dodge Nitro engine; compatibility with other models or years is not guaranteed. The seller stock identifier APG454 can help you reference this exact engine when contacting the seller or arranging for shipping.
