@bigmax88 ok here's where I'm stuck, there a 98 for sale and th guy says it has 169xxx miles but it also has a broken speed sensor, wht u think I should do, #the truck looks good as far as the body goes

[bigmax88]

@1DirtbikeBoy yikes, idk dude. might be a good deal, might not. id take it to a shop and have it looked at first if i were you

[1DirtbikeBoy]

how are all those miles treating u??? im looking at 1 with 169xxx, do u think they have much life past that?

[bigmax88]

@1DirtbikeBoy this one has 200k on it now. still going strong. has an oil leak at the timing cover gasket. about a quart every 2 weeks. good truck. i think it will make it to 250k easy.

@FireArmsResQ probably, but it feels like it needs another hundred..lol

@bigmax88

I'm guessing the 5.4 makes 30 ftlbs torque more though?

[bigmax88]

@FireArmsResQ i hauled some junk tro the crusher and when i went across the scale empty with just my small trailor i weighed 8200 pounds and my trailor weighs less than 1000...kind of sad that they even thought it was a good idea to put the 4.6 in this thing, but then again the 5.4 only made 15 more hp in 98

[bigmax88]

@FireArmsResQ yea, its pretty slow, ill even be the first to admit that at one point in this run it was slightly down hill...lol. i still love it though. it has enough torque to make up for it and i can get 25 mpg if i drive right o0n the highway and about 20(give or take) on the back roads. this is the best 4x4 ive owned. i really like jeeps but every one ive owned had open diffs front and back and would just spin one tire on each axle when it got in a bind, this thing just goes.

[FireArmsResQ]

I still haven't owned a 4x4. Some day I will

My econoline would give this thing a run for its money!

7000 pounds? 215 HP

I'm like 5500 with 180 and I got a 5.0! 5.0 fever is back!
