Perhaps I got a wire crossed, then. Maybe it was something like the early Ford Ranger - where it was an "F-100 Ranger" (like it wasn't quite a half-tonne truck?) Ah, Hell. I'd have to look anyhow - and I'm not really going to have anything up and running until my new laptop shows up to-morrow afternoon...
The 3.7 didn't start till the new body style in '05. The 4.7 came from the WJ and started in the Dakota in '00. Don't know of any factory dakota that had a I-6.
The 4.0 is a loosing proposition for jeep and chrysler, like the slant6's they last forever hence people drive them for ever. I think their holy grail along with most other manufacturers is to design vehicles that last about 1/3 to 1/2 longer than the warranty.

I think the Ranger was a package or whatever you call it on the old full size fords, completly different than the smaller Rangers that started in something around '82. This confused me greatly when I first started looking for one a number of years ago.
I don't know what the difference is, I got a '75 F-350 Ranger cab & chasis to combine with an old '73 base model F-350 dump truck, and the only difference I can find is some chrome trim.
IIRC the /6 was out of production by the time the Dakota was brought out. The Dakota's from the time the truck came out until the redesign for '97 used the Chrysler designed 2.2/2.5 N/A SOHC motors (which were in some ways a /4) as a base motor. From what I understand about the 2.2/2.5, one of the main engineers of that motor was also one of the engineers that designed the /6 and was his last projects before retiring from Chrysler Corporation. After '96 Chrysler discontinued the 2.2/2.5l here in the States and sold the tooling to China and started using the AMC 2.5l in the Daks until that was was disco'd for the 2.4 DOHC from the FWDs.
I would imagine. Think of the fun it would be in a ZJ! 98 only for them. I seen one running in a tough truck a year or so ago. That thing was F-ing fast, and sounded mean as hell with the straight exhaust on it!
