[Sunk]

A friend's dad has a 95 Limited 4x4 with the 4.0, and babying it he gets 18 ish city with a little highway thrown in there, and 21 on the freeway.

you sure thats dohc?

 

[fastpakr]

A '96 wouldn't even be OHC at all, much less DOHC.

 

[BDAB]

we have had this talk with him before, I think he said he swapped that engine in

 

[BDAB]

going to keep looking. the V8 had 223,XXX miles and the V6 atleast needs a new clutch plus it smelled like something dead was stored in it. and it was a 97 not a 98
