ricksjeepster Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I own a 2008 jeep patriot (not 4x4) and I know this is not a Patriot forum but since theres a few members that used to work at Chrysler'jeep'dodge dealers i thought some could have some ideas about this issue ... My engine its gone , I can tell by the pieces of piston I have found over the skid plate . I wonder if there's another dodge car engine block that fits my "Pat" it comes with the 2.4 vvt engine, since they are kinda hard to find I was thinking about dodge neons or something like that , perhaps a Jeep compass ... please help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dasbulliwagen Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Neons, and PT's... NO, Compass, Caliber, Journey, newr gen 200, Avenger.... YES! This engine is reffered to as the World Engine. They should all be the same either 2.0 or 2.4, just don't mix up 2.0 and 2.4 parts. There are minor differences that will screw things up if you try to mix and match. Stick with a donor the same size as yours. Good luck. Sorry the response took so long, havent been on since last night. Good luck! Let us know what you figure out.

Minuit Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Just wondering, how did the engine explode in something so young? Sorry I can't help, the only Chrysler product I know anything about is my MJ. Good luck though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ricksjeepster Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 2008, no warrenty?? Did not bought it from the dealer , it was a used car... Anyways I know It´s been like forever here´s what happened ... Found a 2009 dodge caliber with the same engine (2.4) with only 68.000 miles on it, threw it in and that was it... the Patriot has been working as good as new, also took some time to put new parts on it since the engine was out , like new clutch set form mopar, air/oil filter,fresh oil, engine flush, new brake pads, and besides that issue the car has been worth avery penny as a daily driver and gas saver and of course took it for long road trips with no problems to deal with....
