Hi Guys,

Basicly today I started to look at Gen 3's to use for in my v8 wrangler conversion and after looking at one I wanted to know if there was anything I should really look out for.

Im not technically familiar with the engines and was looking for abit of knowledge and wisdom on common problems and issues that I shouold be wary of.

The one I looked at today was a pranged 2002 vx executive, auto, 140,000k's, on gas (conversion was done 6months after it came of production line) and the guy wants $4500 for the whole car (rear damage and minor drivers front, engine fine and runs)

The questions I basicly had where:

- Do Gen 3's on Lpg wear quicker then those not on Lpg?

- Should I be nesitant of a gen 3 on Lpg?

- Are there common problems associated with gen 3's that I should be aware of?

- Is 140000k's alot for a gen 3 and should I be looking at ones with lower k's

and basicly any other infomation i should probly be aware of before purchasing anything.

sorry for all the questions and any info or advice would be much apprecited..

Thanks

Ryan
