Yep. We had one in a '64 Wagoneer that went well over 100,000 miles with
absolutely no problems. (Only problem was a bent oil pan hitting a rock
going through the woods.) The thing rusted out badly and the drivetrain was
still going strong. I currently own another '64 Wagoneer and the engine
runs very smoothly and it has alot of torque.

People read things in books and like to pass it off as gospel.

Todd.
