I currently have 67,000 and no issues on my 08. And no doubt in my mind ill get 250/ 300,000 out of the motor....its a minivann motor. Soccer moms runn the piss out of em in their vans all year long, no oil, petal to the metal. The soccers moms have really put these motors to tge test andit seems there reliable for a long time...i mean their no powerhouse put im hoping for my motor to last.

BUY THE JEEP!! you wont get another deal like this unless it doesent have a motor lol

I've got an 07 JKU with 66k miles and have only replaced the battery and the rear brake pads last weekend. I could not agree more with the above statement. Its a minivan motor, and as odd as it sounds to look at my rig and know that's what's under the hood, those things run forever. I see those things on the road all the time and I have no idea what's even holding it together, and its still running. I have 100% faith in mine and would not think twice about heading across the country in it (with a couple cases of oil of course).
