JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

What was done to your JK this week?

3.3/ 3.8 pushrod V6 designed for minivans and used in LH/ Pacifica/ VW Routan. This pushrod V6 replaced the Mitsubishi sourced back in the 90's. It's a +25 year old design. The 3.8 last used in the JK is the end of this line.

Pentastar uses cam shaft for timing. It's a modern design with direct bolt on accessories (no mounts); integrated into block exhaust headers; oil filter is like a tea bag with no metal housing, with Fiat parent- Ferrari and Maserati have 400HP turbo versions.

I was well aware of the design differences. One of the first applications of the pentastar was the mini vans, therefore it too is a mini van engine.
