Went with my buddy to the local n pull to find a 4.0 to swap into my 99 xlt 4x4...the 3.0 had cracked heads when i bought it..and cracked bad enough to become undriveable after 3 months...
So we grabbed battery from pic n pull to try n crank over few engines...make sure they sound ok and do crank over....and verify mileage on some digital dash explorers...now gotta tell ya they drain oil and gas before they go into yard..
Well we found a 4.0 inn 04 explorer..side impacted middle of both doors on drivers side...wouldn't crank over..155000..probably damaged on impact..scary part..drivers side air bag DID NOT deploy...
Find a 2001 exploder 4.0 138000 miles..been there since January..cranks for 5 or 8 seconds and fires right up!!remember they drained gas and all oil/fluids when they brought in...she purrs for about 30 seconds before i become unshocked and turn off the key..I had no intention of trying to start any of theses today..no oil gas remember?
So i figure its brave enough to beg for new home and second chance.....its the one I'm buying....new set of chains and tensioners and into my 99 she goes...

, I would have brought it home in a heartbeat if I could have.
