My '95 ZJ (5.2 Quadratrac) has over 260k and still runs great. I am in the process of pulling a seal and one outer bearing on the Dana 35 rear - don't like the noise I hear and the lube leak. We used it for pulling wife's horse trailers. It would go through anything even with a loaded trailer on. I would not trust the post '05 GC suspension to do that - it cannot handle uneven surfaces too well. I pullled our '25ft fishing boat (cca 5000+ lbs + trailer) with a Chevy 6.5td K2500 4x4 burb (full 4' EXHAUST, chipped) or f-350 7.3td 4x4 crew.
The Jeep/Chrysler 5.2 V8 is the old venerable chrysler 318. These ran forever even in the old pre-FI days. I had one in my '69 Plymouth satellite. Indestructible...
