I had a late 90s Jeep with the straight 6 engine and every mechanic repeatedly told me how great that engine was.

You had the 4L then, which is a very dependable motor. It's gutless and leaks oil, but dependable

yep - my 2004 Grand Cherokee has that engine with over 200,000 miles on it. You know how I know it has oil? It's still dripping on my driveway.

Yup, gutless sums it up. Sold it with 170k miles and it was still running great though. I literally was just sick of driving it after 12 years ha

We had a early 90s with a straight 6 that made it over 400k and only died because we forgot to check the antifreeze mix before it sat for a winter and the block cracked. Then we had a mid 00s that had consrant electrical gremilns. Hated that second jeep. I'd say a little prayer each time I turned the key
