Welcome to our forum!

Just so you don't get flamed, the 4.0 is actually a straight 6, not a v6.

Camera is broke so no pics for a bit but i have a question. I have had intermittent starting for awhile, but if i waited ten or so minutes it would start right back up. One day i shut it off went inside for 5min and came back out, tried to start it and nothing. 2hours later it started up, and died at the stop light. i went through the gears and it started again only to die six blocks later. Now its sitting in the driveway, i get power to everthing else and it wont start , i replaced the starter, cleaned all the grounds, replaced the battery cables. What else could it be??? thanks guys
