2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION The 2.8L (2777cc) four-cylinder "common rail" direct injection engine is an in-line overhead valve design. The engine utilize a cast iron cylinder block. The engine has a one piece aluminum cylinder head with four valves per cylinder and dual overhead camshafts. The 2.8L is turbocharged, intercooled and also equipped with a EGR cooler. The identification stamp for the 2.8L is located on the right side of the engine block, below the turbocharger. The engine code label is located on the front timing cover and is the same as the engine I.D. and serial number. There is also a fuel system label on the front timing cover used for fuel system identification during Powertrain Control Module (PCM) programming. STANDARD PROCEDURE DUST COVERS AND CAPS Fig. 1: Covers/Caps Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC Due to the high amounts of failures caused by dust, dirt, moisture and other foreign debris being introduced to the engine during service. Covers or caps are needed to reduce the possible damage that can be caused or created. 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country

ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION Fig. 3: Proper Tool Usage For Surface Preparation Courtesy of CHRYSLER GROUP, LLC 1 - ABRASIVE PAD 2 - 3M ROLOC™ BRISTLE DISC 3 - PLASTIC SCRAPER 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country

To ensure engine gasket sealing, proper surface preparation must be performed, especially with the use of aluminum engine components and multi-layer steel cylinder head gaskets. Never use the following to clean gasket surfaces:  Metal scraper  Abrasive pad or paper to clean cylinder block and head  High speed power tool with an abrasive pad (1), or a wire brush Only use the following for cleaning gasket surfaces:  Solvent or a commercially available gasket remover  High speed power tool with an 3M Roloc™ Bristle Disc (2), Plastic scraper (3)  Sealing surfaces must be free of grease or oil residue. Clean surfaces with Mopar® brake parts cleaner (or equivalent) FORM-IN-PLACE GASKETS AND SEALERS There are numerous places where form-in-place gaskets are used on the engine. Care must be taken when applying form-in-place gaskets to assure obtaining the desired results.Do not use form-in-place gasket material unless specified. Bead size, continuity, and location are of great importance. Too thin a bead can result in leakage while too much can result in spill-over which can break off and obstruct fluid feed lines. A continuous bead of the proper width is essential to obtain a leak-free gasket. There are numerous types of form-in-place gasket materials that are used in the engine area. Mopar® Engine RTV GEN II, Mopar® ATF-RTV, and Mopar® Gasket Maker gasket materials, each have different properties and can not be used in place of the other. MOPAR® ENGINE RTV GEN II Mopar® Engine RTV GEN II is used to seal components exposed to engine oil. This material is a specially designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties when exposed to engine oil. Moisture in the air causes the material to cure. This material is available in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always inspect the package for the expiration date before use. MOPAR® ATF RTV Mopar® ATF RTV is a specifically designed black silicone rubber RTV that retains adhesion and sealing properties to seal components exposed to automatic transmission fluid, engine coolants, and moisture. This material is available in three ounce tubes and has a shelf life of one year. After one year this material will not properly cure. Always inspect the package for the expiration date before use. MOPAR® GASKET MAKER NOTE: Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gaskets require a scratch free sealing surface. 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country

Mopar® Gasket Maker is an anaerobic type gasket material. The material cures in the absence of air when squeezed between two metallic surfaces. It will not cure if left in the uncovered tube. The anaerobic material is for use between two machined surfaces. Do not use on flexible metal flanges. MOPAR® GASKET SEALANT Mopar® Gasket Sealant is a slow drying, permanently soft sealer. This material is recommended for sealing threaded fittings and gaskets against leakage of oil and coolant. Can be used on threaded and machined parts under all temperatures. This material is used on engines with multi-layer steel (MLS) cylinder head gaskets. This material also will prevent corrosion. Mopar® Gasket Sealant is available in a 13 oz. aerosol can or 4oz./16 oz. can with applicator. MOPAR® THREEBOND ENGINE RTV SEALANT MOPAR® THREEBOND ENGINE RTV SEALANT is a unique gasket material that is specially made to retain adhesion and sealing properties when used to seal components exposed to engine oil. FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET AND SEALER APPLICATION Assembling parts using a form-in-place gasket requires care but it's easier than using precut gaskets. Mopar® Gasket Maker material should be applied sparingly 1 mm (0.040 in.) diameter or less of sealant to one gasket surface. Be certain the material surrounds each mounting hole. Excess material can easily be wiped off. Components should be torqued in place within 15 minutes. The use of a locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location. Mopar® Engine RTV GEN II or ATF RTV gasket material should be applied in a continuous bead approximately 3 mm (0.120 in.) in diameter. All mounting holes must be circled. For corner sealing, a 3.17 or 6.35 mm (1/8 or 1/4 in.) drop is placed in the center of the gasket contact area. Uncured sealant may be removed with a shop towel. Components should be torqued in place while the sealant is still wet to the touch (within 10 minutes). The usage of a locating dowel is recommended during assembly to prevent smearing material off the location. Mopar® Gasket Sealant in an aerosol can should be applied using a thin, even coat sprayed completely over both surfaces to be joined, and both sides of a gasket. Then proceed with assembly. Material in a can with applicator can be brushed on evenly over the sealing surfaces. Material in an aerosol can should be used on engines with multi-layer steel gaskets. COMPRESSION TEST 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan SE 2014 ENGINE 2.8L Diesel - Service Information - C/V Tradesman, Grand Caravan, Town & Country

Disable the low pressure fuel pump. 4. Remove the fuel injectors. Refer to INJECTOR(S), FUEL, REMOVAL . 5. Cranks the engine with the starter to remove combustion residue in the cylinders. 6. Install the (special tool #VM.10010, Adapter, Compression Test) into the fuel injector bore of the cylinder to be tested. Install the fuel injector retainer, bolt and securely tighten. 7. Test compression pressure by cranking the engine with the starter for at least eight revolutions. 8. Measure the pressure in all of the cylinders. 9. Remove the (special tool #VM.10010, Adapter, Compression Test). 10. Install the fuel injectors. Refer to INJECTOR(S), FUEL, INSTALLATION .
