The initial design development for the '''PowerTech''' V6 and V8 engine family was done by [[American Motors Corporation]] (AMC) and debuted in 1998 with credit to [[Chrysler]]. This was the first new [[V8 engine]] for Chrysler since the 1960s.<ref>{{cite web|last=Ehrenberg |first=Rick |title=Next generation V8 engine - the Dodge/Jeep 4.7 liter V-8 |url= https://www.allpar.com/mopar/47.html |website=allpar.com |accessdate=26 March 2018}}</ref> The companion V6 was basically the V8 with two fewer cylinders, another concept that originated at AMC before the company joined Chrysler.<ref>{{cite web|title=Allpar presents the Dodge/Jeep 3.7 liter V-6 |url= https://www.allpar.com/mopar/37.html |website=allpar.com |accessdate=26 March 2018}}</ref> These new engines had nothing in common with the [[Chrysler LA engine]] [[V8 engine|V8]]s, nor the [[AMC straight-6 engine#4.0|Jeep 4.0&nbsp;L]] "PowerTech" I6 engine. 

A 4.7&nbsp;L V8 came first, available in the [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]], and a 3.7&nbsp;L [[V6 engine|V6]] version debuted in 2002 for the [[Jeep Liberty]]. The PowerTech V6 and V8 were direct replacements for Chrysler's Magnum  series in the early 2000s, and were also used in the [[Dodge Ram]] and started in the 2000 Dodge Durango. They were not used in any cars, but were reserved for truck and SUV use. They are also known as '''Next Generation Magnum''' in Dodge applications.

The PowerTech V6 and V8 engines were produced at the [[Mack Avenue Engine Complex]] in [[Detroit|Detroit, Michigan]]. [[E85]] compatible versions of some PowerTech engines were developed and used in numerous Chrysler vehicles. On April 9, 2013, the last 4.7&nbsp;L engine was built; ending 15 years of production with over 3 million units built.<ref name="Final 4.7" />

==4.7==
The 4.7-liter version was the first of this family, appearing in the 1999 [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]. The displacement is {{cvt|4698|cc|L cuin|1|disp=flip}} with a bore and a stroke of {{cvt|3.66x3.405|in|mm}}. It has a cast iron block and aluminum heads with two valves per cylinder. It uses chain-driven [[Overhead camshaft#Single overhead camshaft|Single overhead camshafts]], one in each head. It originally produced {{cvt|235|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|295|lbft|Nm|0}} of [[torque]]. The 4.7&nbsp;L V8 is available with four speed and five speed automatic transmissions and a 5 speed manual transmission.

The PowerTech was on the [[Ward's 10 Best Engines]] list for 1999.

*1999–2009 [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]
*2000–2007 [[Dodge Dakota]]
*2000–2009 [[Dodge Durango]]
*2002–2010 [[Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram 1500]]
*2006–2009 [[Jeep Commander]]
*2007–2009 [[Chrysler Aspen]]
*2006–2007 [[Mitsubishi Raider]]

===4.7 HO===
A "High-Output" version of the 4.7&nbsp;L PowerTech engine, producing {{cvt|265|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|330|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque, was introduced in 2002, first appearing in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited as an option and in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland as standard equipment.

This engine was discontinued after the 2008 [[model year]], though the non high output 4.7L V8 engine continued to be available in all vehicles.[[File:4.7 Powertech engine Jeep WJ.jpg|thumb|4.7 Powertech engine Jeep WJ]]

Applications:
*2002–2004 [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]
*2007–2008 [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]
*2007–2008 [[Dodge Dakota]]
*2007–2008 [[Dodge Ram|Dodge Ram 1500]]/[[Dodge Ram|Ram 1500]]

====2008 Revisions====
The 2008 Dodge Dakota and Ram pickup trucks, Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen SUV's, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Jeep Commander came with a Corsair version of the [[Flexible-fuel vehicle|FFV]] 4.7&nbsp;L engine, with dual spark plugs per cylinder, a new slant / [[squish (piston engine)|squish]] combustion system design, and 9.8:1 compression, raising power to {{cvt|290|-|310|hp|kW|0}} and {{cvt|320|–|334|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque. 
The 2008 4.7 also features other upgrades including a more aggressive camshaft profile, a {{cvt|74|mm|2}} throttle body, and an improved intake manifold with shorter runners. See [http://allpar.com/mopar/47.html Allpar's page on the latest 4.7&nbsp;L].

[[File:Chrysler PowerTech 3.7.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Chrysler PowerTech 3.7 L V6 in a 2005 [[Jeep Grand Cherokee]]]]

The '''EKG'''  is a 3.7&nbsp;L V6 version built in [[Detroit|Detroit, Michigan]]. It displaces {{cvt|3701|cc|L cuin|1|disp=flip}}.<ref name=Specs>{{cite web |url=http://www.jeep.com/bridge/vehsuite.html?app=vehiclespecs&family=liberty&model=Technical&zipcode=10101&year=2008 |title=Jeep - Specs & Upgrades |accessdate=2008-01-14 |date= |publisher=Chrysler LLC|quote=Engine - Displacement - Cubic Inches...226.0. Engine - Displacement - Cubic Centimeters...3697; bore (in.)...3.66; stroke (in.)...3.57}}</ref> The bore and stroke measure {{cvt|3.66x3.57|in|mm|1}}. It is a 90° [[V engine]] like the V8, with [[SOHC]] 2-valve heads. It utilizes a counter-rotating balance shaft mounted between the cylinder banks to deal with vibration problems of the 90-degree V6 design, as well as use a 30-degree split pin [[crankshaft]] to fire the cylinders every 120 degrees. Output is {{cvt|210|hp|kW|0}} at 5200&nbsp;rpm with {{cvt|235|lbft|Nm|0}} of torque at 4000&nbsp;rpm.<ref name=Specs/> It has a cast iron engine block and aluminum [[SOHC]] cylinder heads. It uses [[Sequential fuel injection]], has roller followers, and features fracture-split forged powder metal [[connecting rod]]s and an assembled reinforced plastic [[intake manifold]].

The Chrysler 3.7 PowerTech engine used in the 2007 - 2012 [[Jeep Liberty (KK)|Jeep Liberty KK]] used a wasted spark ignition system that uses one ignition coil to fire two cylinders.
