Thoughts on 2007-2008 H3 with 3.7 motor

[Rjimriley]

Would like opinions on 2007-2008 H3's with the 3.7 motor. I bought on 06 H3 with the 3.5 motor on Saturday. Was running rough next day with check engine light on... researched the problem bad head. Took the H3 back to dealer on Monday morning, told them to check it out and give me estimate. Estimate for me to pay $1,600 as they did a 50/50 split. I walked out with my trade in and left the H3 there. Would like to get a 2007-2008 with the 3.7 and don't want seroius issues with motor. Are the 3.7 ok, or are they a POS? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

For the most part the 3.7s had way less issues then the 3.5...I would look for an 08 3.7 or the 5.3 V8.

I have not owned a 3.7 but have heard very little negative about them. They did not seem to have many issues at all like the 3.5L motor did. The extra 20 HP doesn't hurt any either.

My 3.7 has been good, though I still had to get a head replaced (under warranty) at 98,000 miles

My 3.7 has been great.............. If I had the choice though I would get the V8 (or the Diesel if it ever came out). If you are going to offroad get the Adventure Spec, If you tow stuff get the Auto.

I have the 08 3.7 and had my head replaced at 63,000. I love my truck, but it has been a pain in the butt sometimes. Luckily its under warranty to 103,000
