2000 Ex XLT 4.0 SOHC 120k
Needs rear timing chain and probably a head replaced. Can’t find a local shop willing/able to do the work. Only replacement engine in area has 150k miles but would come with 3year warranty installed for $3,300.00.
This far exceeds the book value on the truck however, I would be hard pressed to find a replacement for that money that has every thing I need like the 4.10:1 gears and a 5speed that actually works. It has lots of upgrades and new parts listed below.
What it’s got going for it:
2” lift
32”tires
Very nice stereo
Remote starter
Class 5 hitch with proportional brake controller.
Transmission temp gauge.
New leaf springs, shackles ball joint and a couple wheel bearings.
Average rust for upstate NY. Nothing structural yet.
Rated for 5,700lb towing. I tow a 5k trailer with it twice a year.
I’ve owned it. a number of years, it’s registered insured and I trust it.
