Thoughts on which Engine to buy

[huntergreen]

bought an 04 grand cherokee new with the 4.7. trded this year for a cherokee. 234000 miles and ran fine. if the 4.7 has a service history, it should be fine.

I have found 2 Durango's at the same used car lot nearby that I'm considering buying to replace the 2003 my daughter totaled when she went thru the utility pole and rolled it a number of times.

One is a 2004 with 158,000 miles and has a 5.7.

2nd one is a 2005 with 128,000 miles and has a 4.7.

Both have clean Carfax reports with no accidents. I have no experience with the 4.7 and ask you thoughts. Should I get the "04" with more miles, but the 5.7 or do you think the "05" and 4.7 with the lower mileage is the way to go??

You couldn't give me a 4.7

You couldn't give me a 4.7

they are fine engines if properly maintained. if not they die early.
