They run good and are reliable but they don't have much power, even with a 5 speed my 3.9 feels slow. I had a Ford Ranger automatic with the 4.0 V6 and it would run circles around this 3.9. I plan on putting a V8 in it soon.
Only time I ran 5th was down hill lol. It was an absolute dog in 5th gear. I even put a V8 tb on it with a cold air intake, and moved the ait to the front of the intake. Did ok, but no replacement for displacement. Tune ups are cheaper, 2 less plugs. Don't over rev them though, the ps pump don't like it. Went threw 3 of them.
Probably get better gas mileage too.
