    I will be picking this up this weekend. I was told that it overheated and will need a motor. It's an 02 with the 4.0 and auto tranny and 4 doors. What do you think? Oh and I am driving 6.5 hours to get it...

    It's $1000. I figured you can't beat that price. And it has a motor, and he said it still cranks but it was overheated. Somebody told him that they thought the block is cracked.

    I brought the truck home last night! The guys mechanic told him that he thought the block was cracked, but I am thinking that it is just bad head gaskets. There is definately water in the oil though. It still cranks up and sounds real smooth.

    I think I will start off with replacing the head gaskets on the engine that is in it first.
