'04 went from the OHV 3.9 to the SOHC 3.7. 2 totally different engines. as far as longevity on the 3.7, i guess time will tell. i hope it's at least as durable as the 3.9's.

Main durability may be there , But
Don't forget the cam belt/belts
( not sure if they only use one for both or one each )
Probably needs replace about every 50,000 ?
Should be mentioned in your " maintenance manual "
