99 XLT
Since I probably will make the plunge mainly the price is right.
One 94 has a new trans, alleged to have a crack head. But the estate administrator said that info about the cracked head came from the smog shop (test only), Ford passed--but tech said it had a cracked head.
#2 has a bad motor, EA said you can hear it and it heats up.
OK---I own a 99 and a 98 4.0. What is the difference, if any, between the 1st gen and the 2nd gen motors?
What am I buying?
What quirks do the 1st gen have?
What am I looking at if a head has to come off? The same as 2nd gen?
Where are parts available?
Used or rebuilt?
Thanks!
