The 4.0s are great motors, some have had half a million miles on them.

I'm not sure about the V8s, though. My buddies V8 took a dive on him.

What motor is in the truck?

Then its damn near bullet proof.

As long as all maint has been done, it should be a great truck for them, esp with their family.

Hopefully he can get it for less than 8k though.

I've never heard of any tranny issues. But that doesn't mean this one won't have any. Best bet would be to look over everything.

Price is hard to determind without seeing it in person.
