Loved my 3.0. Had it for 8 years and 155,000 miles--it ran ever-bit as good as it did when it was new. The only problem it ever had was repaired under warranty (HG recall). I also had a 22R-E powered truck for four years and sold it because I hated the motor. It's simple to work on, I'll give it that, but it simply didn't make enough power to use it like a truck should be used and it was fairly noisy.

I have a 3.4-powered truck now and really like it. It's not as quiet as the 3.0, and it wasn't as large of a jump in horsepower as it was when I went from the 22R-E to the 3.0L, but I really like it.

Doesn't look like a 155k mile motor thanks to no engine leaks!
