Remanufactured

View Specification

e-u_7124-lm

Remanufactured engines consist of the re-machined long block, and they include block casting. With any purchase, you can expect the following to come with the remanufactured engine:

• Connecting rods
• New rod bearings
• Camshaft and timing chain
• Cylinder heads (including head castings and all required machining)
• New rocker arms, pushrods, and lifters
• Full gasket set
• New oil pump

The remanufacturing process ensures that every part has been re-machined or replaced to meet or exceed OEM standards. Our remanufactured engines for sale are among the highest quality in the industry today.

We ensure the most competitive prices! Our assurance in our pricing extends to matching or surpassing any competitor's price. This pledge applies when comparing the overall expenses, encompassing price, shipping, tax, warranty, labor, core policy, and price post-core return. This price match guarantee is specifically for our remanufactured products.

Our core return policy helps us manage the cost and supply to continue our operation. The core is your old engine that is being replaced which needs to be sent to us. For core returns, we cover all shipping costs.

Please keep in mind that our FREE core return shipping is ultimately the customer’s responsibility. While we handle the cost, it is up to you to initiate the process and arrange for the core pickup. When your new part installation is finished, you can reach us by phone at (877) 343-7352 . You can also visit our core return page to arrange the core return.

Schedule your core pickup within 30 days of delivery, and there will be no upfront core charge (there are exceptions when our Waive Core Now option is unavailable).

With our Waive Core Charge service, core returns are simplified. Your core charge is waived for 30 days, so your new engine can be installed prior to returning your core. When you select this option, you give Reman Engine the right to bill your credit card if the core return is not returned within 30 days of part delivery (some exceptions do exist and will be noted in the purchase agreement).

In the case that the core is not returned or not paid for, the warranty for the remanufactured engine is void. If the core charge is billed prior to the core return, there will be a $50 processing fee that will be deducted from the core return refund.

Reman Engine offers fast flat-rate shipping to commercial locations. Home businesses and businesses that are not commercially zoned are not considered commercial addresses. If there is no liftgate at the shipping location there will be a $99 fee to the carrier.

The commercial location must be able to receive freight shipping with no need for prior notification. Forklift unloading from the truck is necessary. We ask that commercial businesses enable us to ship directly to the repair shop or dealership doing the work.

Some locations (typically remote areas) may require an additional delivery fee. These locations include but are not limited to select locations in CO, UT, NY, OR, and CA.

High order volumes, inclement weather, or other circumstances outside of our control can impact shipping and delivery times. We always try to ship your order as soon as we possibly can. It should be noted that shipping times are our best estimate and not a guarantee. We also do not assume responsibility for additional fees charged by the carrier related to storage or re-delivery issues.

All of our parts are visually inspected before shipping. Sometimes, damage does occur during shipping. It is very important that you inspect all parts for damage when they are delivered. Please report any damaged, missing parts, or wrong orders. A failure to report any problems inhibits our ability to correct them and puts all responsibility on the receiver.

At Reman Engine, we warranty the majority of internal engine parts. We guarantee that they will ship with no defects in materials or workmanship. All warranty periods begin from the date of installation, contingent on the installation being managed by a Licensed Automotive Repair Facility. Please refer to our full warranty disclosure page here, https://reman-engine.com/warranty-info .

(2012 SXT) Took a While, but ...

I bought this vehicle used with 111, 000 miles on it and I have to say that I didn't love it at first. I bought it because it was priced right and it was practical, but I did like the interior a lot and it has since grown on me. I have owned my Journey for 1 year now and I had to put some money into it -- mostly because of sticky calipers. Other than that I have no major complaints. It has been a very comfortable ride and I like the quality of the interior finishes much more than any of the Chevys, Hondas or Kias that I have driven. Handles very well in snow and on icy roads.

A different perspective

I am a mother with a child with a life threatening disease. I traded in my Grand Caravan for a 2012 Journey and love it. I honestly hated the owning a minivan (even with ALL the options we had). The only downside to the Journey is lack of TVs, which is easily fixed with her Ipad and her portable DVD player. The wheelchair fits wonderfully in the back with the 3rd row folded down. The emegency medical supplies fit perfectly in the storage area in the back. I drive to our local children's hospital 2-3 times a week (40 miles one way) and our mpg is averaging 21.5. The interior is beautiful. The details are great!

I purchased a 2012 Dodge Journey SXT. I drove it off the lot with 200 miles on the odometer. At 1600 miles the transmission began to shutter! I took it to the dealership and the computer was flashed. This did NOT help. We have set up a case with Chrysler, but have been told that the shuttering is a characteristic of the vehicle per Chryslers engineering dept. WHAT! This is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard. IF that was the case then WHY did it not show up until 1600 miles. I am so unhappy and disappointed with Chrysler and this Journey. Chrysler has put all of their dealerships in a very bad position. With Chrysler not acknowledging that there is an issue with the 3.6 liter engines.

Extended Warranty 3.6L 2011-2013 Journey to 10yr 150,000 miles on left cylinder head

Last week my check engine light came on. We coded it to find it was due to a misfire. The following day we received this letter with this information. The problem is not only the Journey but also Grand Cherokee, Durango, Minivan, 200, Avenger, Journey, 300, Charger, Challenger and/or Wrangler from 2011-2013. This is the letter in summary: 3.6L ENGINE LEFT CYLINDER HEAD EXTENDED WARRANTY This letter is to inform you that the warranty period (5 years or 100,000 miles) on the 3.6 engine left Cylinder head on select vehicles has been extended to 10 years or 150,000 miles. Contact Chrysler Customer Assistance Center: PO Box 21-8004: Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8004. or call 1-800-423-6343.

Disappointed!!!

I purchaced my 2012 Journey in April. A little over a week later it (transmission) began shuttering/jerking when upshifting or downshifting. I took it to one dealership and they said that they "reset the computer chip because it was off" and that was suppose to fix the problem. It DID NOT!! I took it in to a different dealership and took the service director/ex-master tech for a test drive and he told me that there was nothing he could do. He said that the transmission shuttering/jerking is normal for the transmissions in the Journeys and that most people don't notice it until about 3000-3500 miles... WHAT!!!!!! How can that possibly be NORMAL for ANY vehicle.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of Saryg-Bulun (Tuva)

<< Previous page

Pages:  379-406

In 1988, the Tuvan Archaeological Expedition (led by M. E. Kilunovskaya and V. A. Semenov) discovered a unique burial of the early Iron Age at Saryg-Bulun in Central Tuva. There are two burial mounds of the Aldy-Bel culture dated by 7th century BC. Within the barrows, which adjoined one another, forming a figure-of-eight, there were discovered 7 burials, from which a representative collection of artifacts was recovered. Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather headdress painted with red pigment and a coat, sewn from jerboa fur. The coat was belted with a leather belt with bronze ornaments and buckles. Besides that, a leather quiver with arrows with the shafts decorated with painted ornaments, fully preserved battle pick and a bow were buried in the coffin. Unexpectedly, the full-genomic analysis, showed that the individual was female. This fact opens a new aspect in the study of the social history of the Scythian society and perhaps brings us back to the myth of the Amazons, discussed by Herodotus. Of course, this discovery is unique in its preservation for the Scythian culture of Tuva and requires careful study and conservation.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
