2.5l i4 to something bigger
Now I like my truck.. but the 4cyl in it is kinda pathetic D:
When the engine in my truck dies (200k already), I would like to upgrade to something a bit more powerful..
I was reading earlier in another thread here about someone wanting a jeep 4.0l i6 in their 2.5l, which as they said was essentially the same motor but with 2 extra cylinders. I think that would be pretty interesting..
So what kinds of motors have been swapped into these 2.5l trucks? And what motors are the easiest/cheapest to swap in to?

Well I've been interested in the jeep 4.0 engine swap, so I've been looking into it recently.
I've noticed that the 4.0 uses the same transmission as our 2.5 dakotas, so i wouldn't have to swap that out.
It seems people have a lot of good things to say about the 4.0 too. I could even stroke the engine later..

same trans? and the 4.0 is an i6??
id say go for it and get a slimmer radiator and see what happens
if i were you id plan it out goood...like get all the measurements ans see if the damn thing will fit first without moving the trans back...and then after that really look into beefing up the trans bc it already would have 200k on it and you putting ALOT more power to it
