- 2000 XL 4.0 OHV 4x4
96 4.0 OHV 2WD Auto. 245k on body, 15k on rebuilt trans, blown head gasket. I haven't had it diagnosed or compression check, but lot's of white smoke out of tailpipe.
I rebuilt the top end once due to a cracked head but now it's time for a new engine. I looked into rebuilding mine but it's cheaper and more reliable to buy a remanufactured. I'm looking into ATK, Jasper, Engine Parts Warehouse, and a Ford Factory Remanufactured. I researched but couldn't find much on a remanufactured engine anyone has installed here. Anyone had experience with any of the above? They all basically offer a 3yr 100k warranty. Most are parts + $50/hr. labor.
