THE GM GEN IV SERIES OF LS ENGINE TOOK AMERICAN V8 TECHNOLOGY TO A NEW LEVEL BACK IN 2006. MOTECH WAS THE FIRST TO INTEGRATE THE GEN IV LS ENGINES INTO A WRANGLER JK AS EARLY AS 2008. IMITATED BY MANY NOW MOTECH BLAZED THE PATH MANY HAVE FOLLOWED AND LEGITIMIZED THE GM POWERTRAIN INSIDE THE WRANGLER JK.
THE GEN IV ENGINES OFFERED;
  • VARIABLE VALVE TIMING
  • 4 CYLINDER MODE
  • FLEX FUEL
  • EFFICIENT COMBUSTION
  • POWERFUL CONTROLLERS FOR PRECISE ENGINE MANAGEMENT
  • THE CAN DRIVEN TRANSMISSIONS, INCLUDING THE 6 SPEED 6L80 TRANSMISSION

THE 6L80 BECAME A GAMECHANGER FOR SOME OFFERING LOW FRICTION, LOW HEAT, CLUTCH TO CLUTCH OPERATION FOR LIGHTNING FAST SHIFTS, DIVERSE GEARING TO LAUNCH A HEAVY JK OFF THE LINE BUT STILL CRUISE COMFORTABLY ON THE HIGHWAY. NO MORE ODD OR POOR SHIFTING TRANSMISSIONS, THE 6L80 IS BY ALL MEANS A WORLD LEADER IN TRANSMISSION TECHNOLOGY.
THE LS TRANSFORMED THE JK INTO A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. OFF ROAD PERFORMANCE WAS ENHANCED BY AN EXCELLENT TRANSMISSION WTH DIVERSE GEARING AND ON HIGHWAY PERFORMANCE BECAME ON PAR WITH THE SUV'S OF THE DAY. NO MORE STRUGGLING TO GET UP A MOUNTAIN PASS OR THE ANNOYANCE OF A HIGH REEVING V6; THE JK BECAME A PLEASURE TO DRIVE RATHER THAN A NUISANCE.
