ive heard from most of you guys that our engines are tanks. but i know of some that have blown up around 175k. and nowhres, i know. ive been indecisive. this is the only thing ive done it about. im gonna wait and make a decision on everything once i figure out what im doing next year. my finances will dramatically change if i becone a cadet which is what i want. the instructor said they need cadets too so well see what happens.

Most jeep engines that cut loose at low mileage is due to improper maintenance. Perfect example is Mascott's. PO had a head crack. How long she drove it like that IDK. Replacement head cracked on Mascott. We replaced head and 3 weeks later the motor locks up.
