While they aren't known to last quite as long as the 4.0L I6, the 3.8s in the 07+ Wranglers is based on the same 3.8 that ChryCo has been using for years in minivans and other vehicles. Different years have had some issues, but it's certainly not a junk motor - just not what Jeep guys are used to after living with the 4.0 for so long.

Aren't the newest Wranglers getting the new 300ish hp Pentastar v6 though? I thought I read that but I'm not sure.
