Who makes the 2.5 engine for jeep?

Answer 1

General Motors. WRONG!!!!

I had my friend telling me this for months that the only reason why my truck was so awesome was that it had a Chevy motor. they only thing Chevy was the 2.6 cylinder V6 that had less hoarse power and torque than the I4 2.5 made by AMC and then Chrysler in later years. Read the Wikipedia entry below

The 2.5 L inline-4 was a shortened version of the 258 6-cylinder engine bored to 3.875 in (98.4 mm) and de-stroked to 3.1875 in (80.96 mm). The block is basically the same as the legacy 258 cu in (4.2 L) engine with a larger bore and the two center cylinders removed. The head featured a new combustion chamber and port design that was later used on the 4.0 L - the 2.5 L I-4 head was stretched by two cylinders in the center.

Instead of the standard AMC bell housing bolt pattern, AMC/Jeep engineers adopted the General Motors small V6 and four-cylinder bolt pattern (commonly used with GM's transverse-mounted powerplants) for their new engine, because the new AMC 2.5 replaced the four-cylinder engines that had been purchased from GM; and because AMC continued to buy the 2.8 L V6 from GM until the 4.0 L I6 was introduced in 1987. The four-cylinder and V6 shared the same drivetrain components, whereas stronger transmissions were needed for the new 4.0 L.

The AMC I4 first appeared in 1984 with the new XJ Cherokee. It was produced through 2002 for the Jeep Wrangler, as well as for the Dodge Dakota pickup that also used the AMC/Jeep designed four since 1996.
