Probably a 2.7L? Lots of discussion here and on

forums regarding same (2.7's can sludge up and catastrophically fail, typically between 60 and 80k miles, though there are many, mine included, that are well into 6 figures and running absolutely great).
If my assumptions are right (i.e., it is a 2.7 on its last legs), consider replacing the engine with a 3.2 or 3.5 - all the info. you'll ever need for that on dodgeintrepid.net. BTW - I'm told there is about a $400 core value on a spent 2.7 (because of the demand for replacements).
