MoNab Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Has anyone replaced the engine on a 2010 3.5l awd. My current engine has a bad head gasket so I just want to replace the whole engine. Does anyone have a service manual or steps on how to do it? Thanks, much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhareFred Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 Are you the original owner? I know my 09 came with a lifetime power train warranty, not sure if the 10 did. Might be worth checking, new engine will set you back a few grand, unless you roll the dice and get one from a junk yard. jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeaton Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Head gasket is not that hard to replace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borjawil Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) Just did this on an 09 and about to re do it as I don't have compression on one side of the engine, but that's another story. I have yet to do the write up but will post soon. Pretty simple. Torque wrench, 3/8 and 1/4 ratchets. 8, 10, 13, 15, 16, and I believe an 18 and/or 19mm socket (shallow and deep for all is helpful along with 1"-8" extensions. Youll need 10, 13, and 15 wrenches. Pliers for hose clamps. And depending on your approach to the cams a 31 or 34mm wrench or the special holding tool. If you can weld or have a drill it's easy to make. Basically a two post spanner wrench. Pm me if you'd like pics/video Oh and a 6 point "E" type socket. E30? I'd have to check, but a 12point 3/8 socket works well too.
