Chrysler’s EGQ 4.0-liter V6 engine was produced at the Trenton plant from 2006 to 2010 and was used in popular models such as the Pacifica, Grand Caravan and Town&Country minivans. There is a slightly more powerful version of this power unit with its own EMM index.
The LH series also includes internal combustion engines: EER, EGW, EGE, EGG, EGF, EGN and EGS.
The engine was installed on:
- Chrysler Pacifica 1 (CS) in 2006 – 2007;
- Chrysler Town&Country 5 (RT) in 2007 – 2010;
- Dodge Grand Caravan 5 (RT) in 2007 – 2010;

Disadvantages of the EGQ engine
- This motor has very narrow oil channels, which are often slagged;
- Due to the lack of lubrication, liners and hydraulic lifters wear out quickly here;
- Aggressive EGR operation leads to throttle fouling and floating speed;
- Exhaust valves are also covered with soot, which cease to close tightly;
- Another proprietary breakdown is antifreeze leaks from under the pump gasket.
