is it just me or does everyone want the 4.0 back screw the 3.8

 

With the new EPA regulations just announced, it will likely never happen

"Starting with 2012 model year vehicles, the rules together require automakers to improve fleet-wide fuel economy and reduce fleet-wide greenhouse gas emissions by approximately five percent every year. NHTSA has established fuel economy standards that strengthen each year reaching an estimated 34.1 mpg for the combined industry-wide fleet for model year 2016.

Because credits for air-conditioning improvements can be used to meet the EPA standards, but not the NHTSA standards, the EPA standards require that by the 2016 model-year, manufacturers must achieve a combined average vehicle emission level of 250 grams of carbon dioxide per mile. The EPA standard would be equivalent to 35.5 miles per gallon if all reductions came from fuel economy improvements."

 

Yup, this ^^. I saw that in the news yesterday. The 4.0 as we know it will never come back thanks to Obama. NOW, if Jeep did resurrect it and redesigned it to meet the new EPA criteria, well that'd be just peachy, if they could keep HP and torque numbers at or above current.

 

yeah if i wanted a caravan engine in my vehicle... I WOULD BUY A CARAVAN!

 

no poopies. even though i can't complain about my 3.7 in my dakota, i only have 99k miles on it, and i'm almost positive that if i even say turbo standing too close to it, it will start crying and run away like a little girl.
