lifepan of a 4.0?
 

I'm looking to purchase an older Cherokee (95-2001). Assuming proper
maintenance, what is a reasonalbe lifespan of the 4.0 engine? Is there
anything unusual to look out for?
Thanks, David

I cannot speak from experience my 4.0 only has 127,000 miles, but
others have said mine is just broken in and over 200,000 is common
WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE.

If that rig has the AX-15 that will go before the engine

139,382 miles here, all but the first 50,000 under a blower.
So as ufatbastehd says, "with proper maintenance."

The timing chain is the only bit that needs checking some where
around 200,000 miles.
