I just bought a wrecked 03 with 104k miles. The trans and tcase are messed up but engine still runs fine. I did a leakdown test and all looked fine except cylinder 3, which was at 20% leakdown. Its obvious the previous owner did not take good care of the care and abused it but engine still started up and ran fine.
