Sad that Daimler-Benz had to redesign the 4.0... Made an ultra-reliable inline 6 into a piece of crap, that WON'T interchange with older models. So the junkyard price is double to triple the 1998-previous models at $800-$1600 for an AMC six cylinder!!! WHY hasn't there been a Class Action suit against Chrysler, as there are VERY FEW of these engines with more than 150k.
The really SAD part is I really liked the rest of the vehicle, and had very few of the issues others voiced: brakes, steering, grinding in axle, transmission until the "valve lifter" noise turned into a broken piston skirt.
