Disconnect and remove battery. On all except Pickup, scribe hood
hinges for installation reference and remove hood.
2) On all models, drain cooling system. Disconnect coolant
hoses. Remove radiator, fan and shroud. Discharge A/C system (if
equipped) using approved refrigerant recovery/recycling equipment.
Disconnect A/C lines, and plug openings. On Pickup, remove upper core
support, transmission cooler and A/C condenser. On all models, remove
belt, air cleaner, vacuum lines, distributor cap and wiring.
3) Disconnect necessary electrical wiring. Disconnect fuel
lines. See FUEL LINE DISCONNECT FITTINGS. Remove throttle body and
linkage. Remove intake manifold. Remove starter, generator, charcoal
canister and horns. Disconnect power steering hoses (if equipped).
Raise and support vehicle. Drain oil. Disconnect exhaust pipe at
exhaust manifold.
4) On A/T models, remove transmission housing inspection
plate. Mark torque converter-to-flexplate position for installation
reference. Remove torque converter-to-flexplate bolts. Remove bracket
for transmission cooler lines.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove manual transmission if
transmission cannot be supported using floor jack.
5) On M/T models, disconnect clutch release mechanism at
clutch housing. On all models, support transmission using a floor
jack. Remove transmission or clutch housing-to-cylinder block bolts.
Install engine lifting fixture, and attach chain.
CAUTION: When removing engine, DO NOT lift engine by intake manifold.
6) On Ram Pickup and Grand Cherokee, remove front engine
mount bolts. Remove engine from vehicle. On Dakota 2WD and Durango 2WD
models, remove front engine mount through-bolts. See Fig. 3. Remove
engine from vehicle.
