The 1998 3.0 liter EFI is a good engine with better fuel savings than 3.0 carb engine. The only problem I see is they need fuel pump diaphrams(manual) changed about every 2 years

I would appreciate other comments. Is that fuel pump diaphragm an easy, do it yourself job?

About a 20 minute or less repair and parts are around $25
