ssshhh, now everybody will want a noisy 4.0!
The 4.0 inline six is kind of a noisy engine, but it will run for ever. As long as you have oil pressure and the temperature stays within the normal range, you can expect 300k miles out of the engine easy.

ha never heard that version before. Yes these engines are noisy, lifter noise is fairly normal and mine sounds like a diesel when it's running and actually starts dieseling when it shuts down... great fun next to a 12 valve cummins guy.
