Right Intake Camshaft Bank 1 Passenger Side for 3.6L Pentastar PUG VVL Engines (2016-2024 Jeep Wrangler JL, Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Ram 1500 DT($119.99Value)

Description

[EXACT OE DIMENSIONAL SPECIFICATIONS] Constructed from high-strength thermal-treated alloy with CNC-machined cam lobes and bearing journals. Manufactured strictly to original equipment dimensional tolerances to restore standard valvetrain mechanical operation. Directly replaces OEM part numbers: 68661147AA and 05047913AD for Bank 1 Passenger Side intake applications. [CRITICAL FITMENT: PUG VVL ENGINES ONLY] Engineered specifically for 2016-2024 3.6L Pentastar PUG VVL (Variable Valve Lift) engines. Compatible with selected Jeep Grand Cherokee, Wrangler JL, Gladiator, Dodge Durango, Chrysler Pacifica, and Ram 1500 DT New Body models. NOT compatible with older 2011-2015 Gen 1 engines, Wrangler JK, Ram Classic DS, or non-VVL engine configurations. [MANDATORY OBD-II CALIBRATION PROTOCOL] This is a standard OEM-profile replacement camshaft designed for factory valvetrain operation; aftermarket ECU modification is neither required nor intended. CRITICAL ELECTRONIC STEP: Following installation, the technician MUST perform a standard OBD-II Camshaft/Crankshaft Variation Re-Learn procedure using a professional diagnostic scan tool. Skipping this required electronic calibration will result in system timing synchronization alerts or rough idling that are not attributable to camshaft dimensional manufacturing. [VVL SOLENOID & VALVETRAIN INSPECTION] In 3.6L PUG VVL engines, camshaft lobe wear is frequently caused by oil starvation from degraded VVL oil control valves/solenoids or worn hydraulic lifters. To maintain uniform lobe contact and avoid premature dry friction, all mating lifters, rocker arms, and VVL oil control solenoids must be thoroughly inspected or replaced, and liberal assembly lube applied prior to engine startup. [CERTIFIED PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION REQUIRED] Replacing Variable Valve Lift internal engine components requires specialized mechanical and electronic diagnostic capabilities. Installation must be completed by a certified automotive technician adhering to factory torque sequences, correct timing chain alignment tools, and standard engine break-in procedures to ensure reliable long-term valvetrain performance.

Standard Right Intake Camshaft Assembly — 3.6L Pentastar PUG VVL (Bank 1 / Passenger Side)

This precision-machined right intake camshaft is engineered as a direct mechanical replacement for selected 2016-2024 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram vehicles equipped with the 3.6L Pentastar PUG VVL (Variable Valve Lift) engine. Manufactured to precise original equipment dimensional tolerances, this camshaft restores standard valvetrain operation when installed following factory service protocols.

1. Mandatory Engine & Position Verification

Vehicle model name alone is insufficient for valvetrain identification. This camshaft is restricted strictly to the Right Intake position on Bank 1 (Passenger Side) for modern PUG VVL engine architectures.

• Engine Architecture: 3.6L Pentastar PUG VVL (2016+ Upgraded Engine)
• Exact Position: Right Intake Camshaft (Bank 1 / Passenger Side)
• Incompatible Applications: 2011-2015 Gen 1 Non-VVL engines, Jeep Wrangler JK, Ram 1500 Classic DS, and left-side or exhaust camshaft positions.

2. Detailed Chassis Compatibility

• Jeep Grand Cherokee: 2016-2024 (3.6L PUG VVL Only)
• Jeep Wrangler JL: 2018-2024 (3.6L PUG VVL Only)
• Jeep Gladiator: 2020-2024 (3.6L)
• Dodge Durango: 2016-2024 (3.6L PUG VVL Only)
• Chrysler Pacifica / Voyager: 2017-2024 (3.6L)
• Ram 1500 (DT New Body Style): 2019-2024 (3.6L PUG VVL)
• Ram ProMaster 1500 / 2500 / 3500: 2022-2024 (3.6L)

3. Technical Cross-Reference Numbers

Direct mechanical replacement for OEM part numbers: 68661147AA and 05047913AD.

⚠️ Critical Technical Protocol for Mechanics & Technicians

Modern VVL engines require both mechanical precision and electronic system synchronization. To ensure proper operation and avoid premature component wear, installers must adhere to the following standards:

• 1. Electronic OBD-II Re-Learn: After installation, a certified technician must initiate a Camshaft/Crankshaft Variation Re-Learn using a professional diagnostic scanner to calibrate the Engine Control Module (ECM) to the new camshaft position.
• 2. VVL Oil Control Solenoids: Inspect and verify the operation of all Bank 1 VVL oil control valves/solenoids. Oil starvation from clogged or malfunctioning solenoids will result in dry friction and rapid lobe scoring.
• 3. Matched Valvetrain Wear: Reusing worn rocker arms or hydraulic lifters with a new camshaft will cause uneven surface loading. Inspecting and replacing mating valvetrain components is strictly required.

Note: Professional installation
