I've seen most of your vids and you've done alot of work to it! Turned out real nice too
Sucks that you ran into such problem
, my original 3800 went out on me too... it started with a ticking, drove it a few weeks like that. Stupid me went to pass someone, WOT and it just bogged down and died
I tried to start it back up and I could hear it trying to turn over but it just wouldn't. When i took the UIM off, there was coolant everywhere so im guessing it hydrocked the motor. i didnt take the oil pan off to check it out from there but I'm sure it was a mess in there too. Didnt feel like messing with it so I just swapped in an L26 3800 from an 05 GP. It was a pretty easy swap and it's still running Great! also thanks to the people on this forum that made it possible with all the great help!
I bought the motor with unknown mileage but after removing the heads I noticed the cylinder walls had little to no wear at all and in great shape so I cleaned it up real nice and replaced most of the gaskets, also a little painting here and there
lol
