I have a 2004 dodge durrango limited hemi powered.... My engine just blew. My question to everyone is what year hemi can i put back in here.. My wife loves this car. I found a 2009 hemi out of a truck with ecu and harness with this engine work with what i got.. please any usefull information would be helpfull thank you

 

The 2009 has a MDS system along with variable valve timing to optimize fuel mileage and power which will be a bonus if it is compatible with the 2004,

a thats why i hope it will work i just found the motor withh 11,000 miles on it for the right pricebut do not want to buy it if it wont work

I believe you are going to need to stay with an 04 or 05 engine if it comes from a Durango. Another fellow who lost an engine found an 06 engine from a Ram truck that did not have the MDS system.

That is your main factor to be aware of I think.

Labor to remove/install an engine in a Gen 2 D seems to be running $1800-$2200 bucks plus the cost of the engine.

What took your motor out? was it a dropped valve, or a rod through the side of the block?

it was a dropped valve for sure.. im not worried about the labor end of it i have been a mechanic for ten years i just can buy this engine at a great price and would love to have the newer technology..
