Get a TD42. The 2.8 is a time bomb as are the early 3.0L, the list of failures with them is extensive.

i got a 98 2.8 and have just had to spend almost $2400 on getting it repaired, i payed 16k for it. if i had of had the money i would of got the 4.2 but i would never touch a 3l. 2.8 might eventually, 4.2 might, 3 will give you problems
