Correct, the V6 4.0 vvti Toyota motor is far superior.
Similar outputs, similar consumption but you NEVER hear of that V6 giving trouble.
I know 6 people with Pentastar motors, 3 have had to rebuild.
It's crap.
I really hoped that, for the JL they would have launched a new TurboPetrol of 2.8 or 3.0 litre capacity.
Toyota has a 2.4 Turbo Petrol with 272kW and 460Nm. Jeep should have also downsized and forced the induction...

I think Ginger rebuilt his with Maserati bits.. goes unlike anything I’ve ever driven before.jakeslouw wrote: ↑Fri Jul 14, 2023 9:39 amJust a bit of info: the Pentastar 3.6 V6 is based on the 3.0 V6 out of the Maserati Ghibli.
Stellantis also owns Maserati, and when Jeep was looking for a new V6 for the 2012-onward Jeep models, they found that this would be a great option.
All they did was expand the bore and stroke to 3.6L. Most of the ancillaries (timing cover, oil pump, etc) are transferrable. The crank, con-rods and pistons are not transferrable, and the cam is obviously set up for more torque.

They said that a Wanker from Swakop bought a Poer.
So I thought it's either Ginger, or you or maybe Ricof4e

I still have all the old bits...
The woman in my life knows what I spent on my JKU.
So because of that, I know exactly how much I spent on it.
