Is the 2006 4.0 V6 an even-fire engine?

 

Nope

The GT (4.6) is an even-fire engine, but the V6 is an odd-fire engine.

-- Actually, I may have that backwards... I'm trying to find the link where I read up on which is which, but haven't been able to find it yet... if I find the correct answer, I'll post it --

 

GT is an odd fire engine, which has a lot to do with the exhaust note difference between the even firing V6 engines.

 

can we make ours an odd firing engine?? i know srcmings car was firing odd once!

 

Can someone please explain all this to us who don't understand what evens or odds has to do w/ anything?

Try this. I got a great explanation from BlueStang6 just yesterday.

Oooh I feel so smart now!... Now if our engines were odd-firing, and we had an X or H pipe, would that increase or change the sound any?

 

blackNchrome05 that's been a question for a lot of V6 owners. A V8's Odd-fire order and the equalizer pipe creates that unique sound.

You're right, to make a V6 sound [more] like a V8, you'd have to make 2 cylinders on one bank fire consecutively. For that, it might be cheaper to buy a GT.
