So I bought my 2011 Jeep Wrangler with 26k on it I hydro locked it at 32k the warranty wasn't covered and they wanted 7,000 to fix it... Who has that kind of money? So I found a good deal on a jeep engine out of an 07 with 54k miles on it. I did the swap with a couple buddy's and we only broke the cat sensor. Pretty good deal in my book. I had to change the main computer wires at the top of the engine because they switched them from male to female over the years.

So I do the first start up and it sounds like hell I had that ugly ass red lightning bolt and stability control on and it sounded like It was dying. But I'm excited I haven't drove it in a long time so I said you know what lets just take it for a spin so I pm driving it and the rpm doesn't go above 3k and I have to shift through every gear pre mature to gain a little bit of speed. But I'm going to throw out all my codes my super chip read help as much as possible. If you don't know one of them just tell me what you know everything helps.

I'd get the owner of the deep water YOU drove through pay the $7000 to the dealer Sue him.
On the serious side 8 codes and maybe all related to the same bank. Get in touch with the buddies that helped with the engine swap for a post job talk. Did anyone see anything happen that may have bashed a wiring harness when either the old block was coming out or the new one going in?

 

Make sure the spark plugs wires are where they need to be and have the cats checked.

 

What is the point of posting a picture of your jeep?

So you took a 2007 engine and installed it. Did you change the wiring harness or just the connectors? Did you check and see if the computers are the same? Same inputs and outputs?

 

I thought it was illegal to put an engine older than your vehicle in your vehicle. Anybody???

 

Depends on if your state does inspections at all. I don't think too many inspectors would be able to tell the difference between a '07 3.8 and a '11 3.8 anyways.

 

They match vin numbers in the computer for the two counties in Nevada that smog. We can't swap unless it is same year or newer and offered by same manufacturer. No LS swaps allowed by law in a jeep in Nevada.

 

your supposed to validate or let your insurance and everything know when you put a new motor in from any year actually but I mean it's not a law
