yep, the truck is maintained very well.

the 4.0 pushrod six last forever too (old one idk about new one)
my brother used to drive a ranger, ran awsome, only small stuff went wrong untill about 325k (yep THREEhundred) the driveshaft just snapped as he was getting off of an interstate ramp. We had an old explorer with the same 4.0 in it, great engine, ran good till we traded it in.

03' is a 2v. I was referring to the 3v motors.

My x-gf's father bought her a 96' exploder with 265k miles on it. Original motor and trans, for 3k$ about 4 years ago. She drove it back and forth between florida many times(she used to live there but moved to ohio). He just sold it a few months ago for 1k$ with 395kmiles on it. Only things that had been replaced were wheel bearings, radiator hoses, that type of thing. Drivetrain all original. It had the 5.0 in it. Those damn things just take a beating man...
