nitro has a 4.0 V6

the old 4.0's were I-6

Two totally diffrent engines, and the old i-6 couldnt make the emission standards of now

I dont care what the specs say, the 4.0 straight six was a far better engine than the 3.8, felt more torquey and was built strong.

You're retarded...you don't care about specs because you can't read.

Just stating my opinion having owned both you dickhead! What an asshole!

Yes, you right they are two different engines. The 5.7L engine size has been around for a long time and has been the building size of many different makes and models. You're going to get more torque from a bigger block size engine period. Torque is what Jeeps are all about, with the technology today I know emissions could be passed and the fuel economy wouldn't have to suffer for going bigger.
(5.7, 6.1 pass emissions) If they were able to put the right size engine in the Jeeps then less people would be wanting a different engine(something bigger with more power 5.7, 6.1, ect) or a whim 3.6 that makes more horsepower while sacrificing torque to a higher rpm.

What is weight difference between the new 3.6 and a Hemi? Would that extra weight negate some of the Hemi's advantages, esp. off-road?

Hey shit for brains...I too have had both...anyone who wants to say the 4.0 was all that and without equal is not remembering driving that thing on the hwy..it sucked...just like the JK. That being said I have never been left behind by a TJ and thought only if I had the 4.0 I'da made it! You just need something to bitch about...you're illiterate and it is your time of the month!

TJM12

Who's the bitch? Your the one who started in with the name calling! I never said it was without equal, I just to me it felt as though it had more pull. This forum is full of peoples opinions, I dont know why mine got you so hot and bothered? Sorry to hear it's your time if the month. Oh and by the way I think you need to douche too, you fucking homo!

Wasn't this thread about a motor???

Oh yeah, it wasn't about the 4.0, oddly enough.

Referring to someone's sexual orientation in a derogatory way is ignorant. Middle school kids call each other stuff like that.

Its a motor, gentleman. If that's even enough to argue about. Well, apparently it is. Ok, off my box.

I like my 3.8 just fine. Then again, i never had a 4.0 tj either. Hope Im not a cliche, innuendo, or feminine hygiene apparatus.

The 3.8 is a good motor.
