On a 3.3, or 3.8L, Chrysler pays a dealership 2.8 hours and a little more for replacement. IF time and care is used, with the cooler checked and cleaned, computer reset, roadtested, 6 hours is normal. It takes me about..... well it is not hard with a lift air power and experience. YOU should have a professional do it. I would start one at 8 and test it before finishing it and going home, but that is me, and I have done it hundreds of times, includes all rebuild, and computer redo. Do not attempt unless you have a week and are young at heart, mind and body.
Like me.lol. I wish for any.
