Anyone else just have horrible experiences with Dodge's 3.7 V6 engine? First one ate all the rod bearings at 80K. Tore the engine apart and the rest of it looked pretty good - surprising considering their known sludge issue. Mechanic thought it had a possible obstruction in the oil gallery to the crank - he advised against rebuilding with that unknown. Bought a used engine that came from a running wrecked PU with 80K on it. Installed and fired it up - only hitting on 5 cylinders. Pulled the valve covers and the engine was full of sludge with a broken rocker arms on one piston. Bought a rebuilt engine from Dahmer Auto in KC, immediately started shredding itself with lots of metal in the oil - coming from either the main bearings or the rod bearings - never tore it down far enough to find out, removed after 6000 miles. Installed the warranty replacement to the replacement, fired it up and it is firing on all 6 but the engine has a violent vibration I don't think its even going to power this thing out of the shop. That's FOUR engines when it never should have needed the first one replaced.
Then I look at my wife's cheap Kia minivan with over 160K and it purrs like a kitten.
