So total out the door, rebuilt trans ( say rebuilding your own) what would be good out the door? Second option buying used with install, out the door? Third, buying a rebuilt one out the door?

I’ve always felt this way too. My only problem is the cost of the engine and transmission. While cheaper then a new truck, a new truck was never an option for me. The engine for this truck is not cheap. Reman it’s around 4k-5 k before install. And I’ve heard of people only getting a fraction of...

it was a 2007 and physically in great shape. The interior and exterior looked brand new. Just the mileage and not being able to verify the big maintenance was done is why I questioned it so much. But I think I am passing on it.

Just curious, why Jeep?

This sounds exactly like the situation I was in. Beautiful truck. 2007. 205k miles on it. But no record on car fax of many routine service completed. Usually not a big deal but while it was under warranty you should expect that stuff to be done at the dealer ( 30 miles service, 60 thousand miles...

Was this for a manual transmission or were you talking about 5 speed auto?

Lol that’s scary. I don’t know.

Yea I have a old wrangler tj. I was thinking about getting one of these but I’m afraid I won’t be able to work on it like I’m use to with the old jeep.

Are these trucks hard to work on? The 4.0 engine specially?

Won’t that start to kill your starter? It seems like this is a major repair and seems to happen around 200k miles. Does that sound about right? And the options are rebuild engine or replace due to the engine having to be pulled to do it. Is that right?

I’m looking at a 2007 sport trac with 247,000 miles. 4.0 . The seller said it really has 205,000.00 miles as he just changed the instrument cluster. Wouldn’t the miles be stored in the ecm and not the cluster? I don’t doubt that he changed the cluster because car fax showed the one month jump in...

I was looking at a 2007 4.0 v6 that has 205,000.00 miles. After reading this it is a 2007 with the 4.0 not 4.6 so are the timing chain still a concern? Also it has the 5R55S transmission. I believe that is the 5 speed transmission. With those miles and the fact it’s the 4.0 not 4.6 is this...

At 205,000 miles on a 4.0 how much longer could this engine really go? I didn’t buy it yet because I’m afraid I’m about to hop into some expensive repairs. I have no real maintenance records

All of the trans shops around here said the trans would be no less that 3900. I don’t know how someone could do that for 1500. You can take rebuilt or buy rebuilt for 1500?

So how has the truck held up? Any update? Also is the 5r55s transmission any good? Is there any way to check the fluid on these? I’ve heard many issues with the sport trac transmission, would be be more likely one model over the other? Looking at a 4.0 with 205k miles right now and trying to...

O I’m sorry. This transmission I’m talking about is a 5 speed automatic. I’m trying to find out about the reliability of this transmission. It’s off a 2007 sport trac 4.0 L. It’s a automatic not a manual. Does this change your opinion on it being indestructible? The transmission that I’m...

I just looked up the vin and it appears the one I’m looking at has the 5 speed transmission.

I’m looking at a 2007 4.0 V6. How would I know if it has the 5 speed transmission or 6 speed transmission? It’s not 4x4

Thanks. Did the 07 4.0 have known transmission issues? I’ve heard that they did. If so is that a expressive fix? Thanks for replying by the way

So how did this turn out?
