Did they use the same 4.7L engine as the dakota? I've had no problem with mine.

Congrats on the Jeep Juggs. Why don't you include all your cars in your sig "My rides" ?

good idea. done!

clutch monkey, i specifically wanted a jeep with the 4.0 inline six. its a great motor. i know of many with far over 200k on them and still run like brand new. mine has somewhere in the neighborhood of 160k on it i think and you would never know it. the only thing u really have to worry about on them is the tranny, but then again what chrysler product produced before 03 or so doesnt have a weak tranny? still tho i have heard the v8 is still a pretty good motor as far as reliability goes, maybe you just got a lemon as i havent heard of many of these problems. who knows tho im sorry you had a bad experience!

the inline six rocks. friends wrangler has it and it's a beast. i think mine is a product of chrysler quality control..i.e. at least 10% of it's products shouldn't be allowed to go on sale..

Does the I6 have to be a manual to be a beast, I was in an auto one and with foot to the floor nothing happened.

in the wrangler you could do hill starts in 3rd.... and on a hard launch the front wheels would lift off the ground.

i wish i coulda found a stick one, but they are hard to come by. my friends sister has one, its nice. i can switch my tranny to comfort or power mode, and in power mode it takes off like a beast (for a 160k cherokee as least) comfort mode is smooth as silk

But this was a Cherokee. It was running on LPG too, but I don't think that makes any difference.

i think you lose something like 20-30% of the engine's power on lpg...
