i'm not sure how that will go :/hardy1531 said:I might have lucked out on a 4 to 6 swap. My buddy just got a 2000 wrangler with 43k and a 6 cyl. He wanted the 4 banger for gas. I tried to tell him but he won't listen. Anyways he wants to swap motors and everything else. NO COST!!! just some misc parts that we might have to buy.... well wish me luck I hope it all goes through
No the 2.5 gets way better mileage than the 4.0. However when you start putting bigger tires on it then the power goes way down. Even gearing the 2.5 still makes it a dog.amerijeep said:No offense, but that is a terrible idea.
Also, I can't swear to it, but I think the 6 is supposed to get better mileage than the 4. It seems logical to me that the 6 would get better mpg.
Ah, OK. I didn't know. It seemed the 6 would do better to me, but I wasn't sure. I don't think I've ever driven the 4 before....1BLKJP said:No the 2.5 gets way better mileage than the 4.0.

It would be significantly easier for you two to just trade Jeeps, rather than trade everything underneath, and I mean EVERYTHING. The computers aren't compatible, the axles need swapped so that he has proper gearing, etc. You should strip the mods off your truck and put them in the new Jeep and trade keys!!!hardy1531 said:I might have lucked out on a 4 to 6 swap.

I was just saying that calling a 4 banger a dog is really unfair. If it meets my needs and does what I need it to do, it is not a dog. I still would rather have a 4 banger jeep than anything else. It's kinda like saying because I love Schnauzers I am less than someone who has Pit Bulls.amerijeep said:????
