The only thing that seems to get documented is complaints... so IMO the information available is skewed.

To answer the OP's question... As far as the engine selection goes, it depends on your plans for the truck. If you plan to build it up and carry a lot of gear I'd pass on the 2.7L unless you crave the reliability and simplicity of that engine. After loading the truck down you'll be dreaming about that 4.0 every time. Don't get me wrong, it will push the truck down the road just fine, but the V6 is the right tool for the job. If you plan to leave it pretty much stock, then the 2.7L would probably be a good cost effective solution for you.
