WJ Engine Reliability

(1/4) > >>

El Hair:
Looking to get a 4x4 soon. I'm really keen on getting a WJ GC, but am curious about engine reliability.

Given that the car could be around 10yrs old and have some 100K on the clock, what would be the expected lifespan on the engine? At the risk of being näive, some engines must last longer than others. So, what's the verdict?

Popoff:
hi mate, have a look on this US site may be of sone help :lol: http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=180

offroading.net:
bought one 2 years ago with 100k on the clock, now has 145k and doing fine, regular oil & filter changes and they do 200k plus (talking 4litre inline 6 here)

Bishops Finger:
Jeep I6 will last a while..

El Hair:
Thanks for the link Popoff, it's helped a lot.

Looking through what some people have it would appear that I should expect to get a good 150K+. However, this would obvioulsy assume it's not been ragged senseless. Even so, it's good to see that they should last a while.

IL6 appears to be 'better' then the V8. Would this be the consensus?
