I am new here and my searching has left me a bit confused, so I will ask a very direct question here.
I have found a '98 Vanden Plas. A VIN search tells me it is a 4.0L V8, 5spd auto. The car is whistle clean.
What I need to know is what reliability issues do I need to look out for or correct before I put this car into service. I read something about "cylinder liners" and "timing chain/roller upgrades". On the timing chain, I couldn't desipher if the "'03" upgrade would fit on a '98.
Any help would be dearly appreciated.
I'll link the ad for the car. The pics don't do it justice. (Ad says sold. It is not sold)
