Mine Is Named Eugene too!! but many more payments left. just under 4 years of biweekly payments left... the good thing is I been paying a small amount extra here and there so I may knock it out early since other debts are falling away.

The 2nd issue the 4.0's can not hold oil,they always leak and rarely reach 300k,200k is at about the max of that engine.

Say what? Our ZJ has 190k, driven daily, and we still tow a 3k run-a-bout and 3k camper with it. Stock 42re transmission, stock 249 tcase, stock 4.0. She leaks like a sieve but its been doing that for the past 6-7 years, not an issue. The 4.0 is known to be a beast, there no denying that so say what you will.

I am driving proof that this isn't true.
My 19 year old YJ has never dropped a drop of oil. Theres no traces of it ever leaking either.

You can open the hood of most and they all leak at the very least from the valve covers!!! Unless owned by someone on here!! lol
