I bought a 2.9 for $150 to replace mine because it lost oil pressure. The oil and the spark plugs look like they have never been changed but the oil is not milky colored and the plugs are not oily.
What do you think about doing a oil analysis to foreseen any problems there might be? Also I could just drop the pan and check for any metal shavings and make a determination based on that. I'll be dropping the pan anyway to replace gaskets and clean.
I don't want to spent money on gaskets etc. and time if the motor doesn't last at least a few thousand miles.
Thank you,
Dennis
