Jeep V-6 engine
Would like to hear from Jeep V-6 owners. Have had a couple of mechanics indicate there have been many problems with this engine, compared to the in-line 6. Would appreciate any and all comments, ...

Which V6 and what year and what problems??
Exactly.
To my knowledge there have been three V6's in Jeeps. One is the old 90 degree Buick V6 that was used in the '60's and early '70's. Think it was called the Dauntless V6...doubt if it is that one....had a good reputation and was used too many years ago.
In this century, there was the V6 (think it was a 3.8 liter) that was based on the Mopar 4.7 liter V8...with two cylinders lopped off and the current V6 (Pentastar V6) that is used in a number of cars and light trucks (including Jeep ) that is in 3.2 and 3.5 liter sizes.
