07 Wrangler No More I-6

I'll bet it's a reworked 3.7 liter from the Liberty. Darn good engine! Got one in my '02.

:(

I personally believe the I-6 was one of the most robust and versatile engines to ever be seen. Ever.

Will be sad to see it go.

Had an opprtunity to drive a Liberty last Easter with a V6, it was actually not bad...had more low-end grunt than I expected.

it's a revamped Caravan motor

Did you ever see one of those late night info-mercials where they are hawking some engine oil additive? The ones where they add it to a engine and then dump sand and all sorts of stuff on to the valves? It's always a I-6 that they use...

Herb Leong proclaimed:

Heh, I can recall once being given a bit of engine folklore claiming that for an ancestor of the I-6, one should never change the oil. Of course this advice was diluted a bit by being passed as we were rebuilding the advisor's 6.

The '07 TJ certainly isn't the first SWB Jeep to have a V6.

Bill, there is a company that sells a bolt-on flywheel weight for the four cylinder Wrangler. They claim it makes it crawl better. Based on the behavior of my wife's FJ40, this claim makes some sense.

Do you mean that if we shaved the FJ40's flywheel, we could save gas? ;^)
