My dad just bought an old grand cherokee, old as in late 90s so would it be the same motor as in the that? I should see if it has the v8 because I know that it's running almost 280k miles.
Talked to him and it's a v6 but he's not sure if its a 3.7l could that be the same as the dakotas also?
blah, never mind on this post it's a 4.0L

I mean I wouldn't mind getting an SLT over a Laramie because my last two vehicles have had leather and they seem to wear faster even with care. I am only interested in the 05-07 because of the grill and I'm looking at 17-18k with 65k+ miles. and these are SLTs. Any advice on finding a clean truck with 50k or less miles for around 15k or am I dreaming?
I'm willing to travel the country for one also. My grandpa dives big rigs coast to coast so I can get about anywhere.

You would have to go to a 2008 to get the new 4.7l engine that has more power, but you would be looking at alot more than 15k unless it had a ton of miles on it. Any 4.7l between 05-07 are basically the same, the newer ones allow for flex fuel, and there are some High Output 4.7l in there as well, that have a little more HP.
