Woohoo!

I have both... and prefer both. Renix is nice for a daily driver, as I've said before I was getting 26 mpg in my XJ before I put a different motor in.

 

But when I wanted to go out and just drive to drive, my HO was always good for that.

I've killed a renix, and I've built three 4.0's now...all with major success.

 

 

I couldn't kill an H.O. unless I sunk it...and even then, I doubt it'd do much harm if I shut it off quick enough.

Lower torque peak for wheeling, better fuel economy (although you have to keep the speed down for this) and simpler electronics.

 

i agree, especially with the simpler electronics part

I've (personally) seen on 4.0 seize. My family's owned 4 Renix 4.0s and 4 HO 4.0s. The only one to ever die was the newest one, a 98. We still haven't figured out why. It was a well-maintained motor.

 

Maybe he didn't abuse it enough? :dunno: I can't wait to open that motor up.
