Hi,
Are you referring to the 3.6L V6? When you say V7, those are two different designs. I need to know the engine code from the VIN (8th digit from left). One is a V and the other is a 7. I need to know which one to provide specs.

See picture 1.

Let me know which one you have. Also, let me know if you need torque sequence or any other information.

Take care,
Joe
