Default They should just keep the 4.0L engine in the current vans becuase the other 2 suck!

I love the 4.0L 250 hp engine. the 3.3L and 3.8's are old and outdated.

The 3.3 comes with the 4 speed transmission and the 3.8 and 4.0 have the 6 speed transmission. Which dodge is having underdrive compounder problems with.

The 4.0 looks like it has plenty of room to replace the timing belt and water pump. But to replace the spark plugs, the pleunm has to be removed.
