aside from needing the throttle down more, i hear that the 2.5's are quite reliable...

Reliable, tough, and pretty good on gas. Don't be afraid to rev the **** out of it.

i have driven wranglers with 4.0 and 2.5's........ the 2.5 will probably be a dissapointment IMO unless it has some pretty good gears in it. I know the ones I drove sure were lackluster in performance.
