Chrysler’s 4.0L Straight Six Engine The 4.0L AMC inline six is known as one of Chrysler’s best engines.

Dating back to 1986, its torquey 190 hp engine would commonly chug along for upwards of 300,000 miles. Over the course of nearly 20 years this engine was refined and tweaked before being phased out in 2006.

The inline six has powered Cherokees, Grand Cherokees, Wagoneers, Wranglers, and even Comanches. We think its best known for its time with the Cherokee, but it remains a major selling point no matter what it’s been dropped in.

Unfortunately, the AMC 4.0L inline six was replaced by the 3.8 OHV V6, which originated in Chrysler minivans. We think we’re not alone in saying that a minivan engine doesn’t belong in a Wrangler.

The Inline six survived until 2006, and it will go down in history as one of, if not the most legendary workhorse engine Chrysler has ever made.

In short, we just have one request of Chrysler executives. Please, bring this beast back. Also, for future engines, if it’s not broken don’t fix it.
