DPTOOL 3.6L Pentastar Timing Tool Kit for Jeep Chrysler Dodge VW 2011-2019 — phaser locks & crank pulley wrench

DPTOOL 3.6 Pentastar Timing Tool Kit is a complete, vehicle-specific set of camshaft, phaser, and crankshaft holding tools designed to lock and align the V6 3.6L Pentastar timing components during maintenance or replacement.

This toolkit bundles the specialized fixtures technicians need to service 3.6L Pentastar engines used across Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and select VW models from 2011 through 2019. It combines phaser locks, chain holders, a crank pulley wrench and other OEM-equivalent pieces in a compact case so you can secure camshafts, control phasers and hold the crank harmonic damper while removing or installing timing hardware.

How does this kit help when removing or installing the camshaft phasers?

The kit includes dedicated phaser locking tools that hold the camshaft phasers steady while oil control valves are loosened or tightened. Using the proper locks prevents the phasers from rotating and keeps valve timing preserved during service. That reduces the risk of timing misalignment when chains are relaxed or reinstalled.

• Includes 10202A phaser locks sized for Pentastar V6 phasers.
• Prevents phaser rotation during oil control valve service.
• Supports correct reassembly and timing synchronization.

Which parts are included and what does each do?

The set supplies a comprehensive set of timing-chain holders, phaser locks, a camshaft tensioner locking pin, a crankshaft pulley wrench and a camshaft holding tool. Each piece has a defined role: chain holders keep chains slackened safely, the tensioner pin immobilizes the tensioner, and the crank wrench secures the harmonic damper for bolt removal or installation.

• 10369A plus 10200A-series timing chain holders for both banks.
• Camshaft holding tool (2025200090) to fix cam positions during timing work.
• 10198A crankshaft pulley wrench to hold the damper while loosening/tightening.

Which vehicles and years are compatible with this DPTOOL kit?

This kit is designed for many 3.6L V6 Pentastar engines found in Jeep, Chrysler and Dodge models between 2011 and 2019, and it fits specific VW Routan 3.6L applications. It is not intended for later VVL or other VW 3.6L configurations introduced after 2019, so confirm engine code and year before ordering.

• Fits Jeep Wrangler JL, Gladiator, Grand Cherokee and others with 3.6L VVT engines (2011–2019).
• Compatible with Dodge/Chrysler models including Durango, Ram 1500 where applicable.
• Compatible with VW Routan 3.6L only; not for other VW 3.6L variants or post-2019 VVL engines.

Are there installation notes or special fit details I should know?

Some model years and banks require specific pieces from the set—drivers and passenger sides use different 10200A variants, and many 2012+ vehicles need the 10369A tool. On certain 2011 engines the front cover bolt size (13 mm) dictates whether 10369A is necessary, so inspect the bolt before starting the job.

• 10200-1 and 10200-3 are for the driver side; 10200-2 for the passenger side.
• 2012 and newer commonly require the 10369A tool; some 2011 models may also need it depending on bolt size.
• Check compatibility notes: not suitable for post-2019 VVL engines or non-Routan VW 3.6L variants.

Who this is for: This DPTOOL 3.6 Pentastar Timing Tool Kit is built for professional mechanics, independent shops, and experienced DIYers who regularly service or rebuild Pentastar 3.6L V6 engines. If you perform camshaft or phaser work, timing-chain replacement, or crank pulley service on qualifying Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler or VW Routan models, this vehicle-specific set gives the alignment and holding fixtures required for accurate, repeatable timing work.
