How many miles out of 3.8L Engine
With good maintenance and some good luck - how many miles do you all think a 3.8L engine and trans will get. Would be interested in hearing separately for each.....
Lifetime warranty but still curious....

I have personally worked on Chrysler minivans with 300,000 on them. Any vehicle maintained PROPERLY, and driven CORRECTLY will generally give excellent service. This engine is actually an EXCELLENT engine, no ball of fire but adequate. Remember the JK weighs 2 TONS+. It won't do wheelstands regardless of the motor put in it....LOL Keep the oil changed on a frequent schedule, fluids and brakes watched, watch out for the other guy, and with a bit of luck your JK will outlast your interest in it...

if properly maintained you can get 500k out of a neon motor. most people think cars like that are junk because they're always brakingdown.but its beacause most people owning these types of cars never maintain anything.

Wow! Are you serious about 500k? And what is this "maintenance" you speak of?

I had a VW Rabbit diesel 1984. I drove 430000 km. The engine was still in good condition, but the body was too dangerous.

I've seen afew HEEPs with +300k but they had inline 6's. I guess we will see?!?!?
I know I've seen a thread on "How many miles do you have..." What was the highest? 75k?
Yes. I've tried the search button.
