I'm running an 4.0L inline 6, 5 spd manual transmission. I burn a quart of oil every 250- 300 miles. Thanks for the input, my dad is in Canada on business this week so we're going to look at all the options when he gets back. 5.3 swap would be sick, but I'm a broke college kid so not really an option at this point. Considering the miles, I don't think I can sell it for what I would want. Which means I might as well do a fix that is a balance of long lasting but not necessarily as extensive or expensive as doing a 5.3 swap.
