Inexpensive Complete Engines for Jeep Liberty

Driving a Jeep is exhilarating and fun; however, you need a functional and highly efficient engine to enjoy the ride. To make things easier, eBay can help you find new and used complete engines for Jeep Liberty on eBay.

Types of Jeep Liberty engines

Since its introduction, three types of engines have been used in Jeep Liberty. Among these, 3.7L PowerTech V6 remains in service at Jeep dealerships. Here is a brief overview of three complete engines that you may come across while shopping for these on eBay (see the manufacturer site for details):

  • 2.4L PowerTech I4: Available in the earlier Sports model, the 2002 jeep liberty engine was used between 2002 and 2005. It was discontinued in 2005 and replaced by the more powerful 3.7L V6.
  • 3.7L PowerTech V6: This 3.7 Jeep engine for sale on eBay is the most common type of engine used in Jeep Liberty models. Due to the prevalence of this engine in the secondary market, it's also referred to as 3.7. While the base sports model of Jeep Liberty used a 2.4L engine, upgrades to a 3.7L engine were also available in the earlier sports models from 2002 to 2004. In fact, it was also standard in Limited and Renegade models in the first generation Jeep Liberty produced before 2005.
  • 2.8L VM Motor I4: This engine was specifically designed for CRD Jeep Liberty. Used in CRD models between 2005 and 2006, it was discontinued in the United States due to stricter emission regulations. It is still widely available in the secondary markets outside the United States. It is distinguished by the use of intercooler, which sits between the A/C condenser and engine radiator.
Do Jeep Liberty engines use different types of powertrain control modules?

All the PowerTech engines in Jeep Liberty mainly uses two different powertrain control modules PCM, which are easily distinguished by the number of connectors on PCM. These PCMs are onboard computers that indicate warning signs if anything goes wrong.

The JTEC PCM is the older version that used three connectors, while NGC PCM is the newer version that comes with four connectors. JTEC had three connectors because it used a separate TCM, transmission control module. In contrast, TCM is integrated into the newer NGC PCM, resulting in four connectors instead of three.

It should be noted that certain 2006 and 2007 models of Jeep Liberty also used a hybrid PCM architecture.

Motor mounts

While shopping for a new or used complete 3.7 engine for sale on eBay, you may be tempted to swap the engine for 4.7L PowerTech V8 varieties or other similar engines from other vehicles. While it's true that on rare occasions you can swap a 3.7 Jeep liberty engine, it can be dangerous to do so due to emissions standards, engine weight, bracket mounts, and PCM diagnostics. Therefore, it's advisable to use an original 3.7 Jeep Liberty engine to get the maximum efficiency and productivity for your Jeep Liberty.
