For people with a non alpha h3 or t

[backcountryislife]

This is really just a question for people who have the i5 engine. Idk about any of you, but i usually get the question about what engine does the h3 have and when i say an i5 they automatically look down on the h3. Idk if any of you have been getting this but for those of you who have whats y'all's usual response? (Been getting this from jeep guys a lot)

umm... hopefully not the guys with a 2007 to 2010 jeep? If so... just chuckle quietly, and walk away. I'm not sure which one has more power in theory... but both are pretty laughable when paired with these heavy azz 4 doors!

I guess Jeep looked at what GM did in 2006 & said, HEY... we need to make a motor that has no power as well... get someone RIGHT on top of that!

Even the 3.6L powered JK/JKU aren't perfect. The electronic throttle response or lag is horrible. If u wanna just creep along forget about! It's almost like no throttle then boom full throttle with nothing in between.

The 3.8L was just a lazy replacement for the JK/JKU because the 4.0L couldn't pass new emissions.. 4.7L V8 would have been a much better choice!! So glad GM/Hummer were smart enough to say hey lets slap a V8 in a H3.

They said that long, long, long before 2006. Mopar, specifically Hemi motors, were dogs but had so much potential; problem with AMC (and oh will I catch hell if a friend sees this) were poor oiling dogs with no upside.

Were? Ever hear a new GC Hemi, or even worse a GC SRT at start-up? They tick like hell until the juices get flowing. I (wife) bought a '14 hemi GC in August and we got rid of it in March. Piece of ****.

Yep my 3.6L powered mini van with less than 10k sounds like a run down honda with 200K on it at startup! Not impressed at all. My 4.0L and 4.7L were great vs these new engines!!
