My '01 just passed 73k and I'm hoping to avoid the head cracking problem, so far so good. But since I bought it new and plan on keeping it around forever I have already decided that the aluminum head is the way I'll go if mine cracks. I figure I'll make the most of the situation and use it as a convienient opportunity Besides I could never see paying someone to replace a head on a Jeep, so I'll put the labor towards the good parts.
One of the nicest things about the aluminum head, aside from the extra 30HP and 30lbs weight reduction, is in my opinion, that you can change the cam/lifters without pulling the head, sweet! Too bad the factory didn't cast any of the various iron heads like that.
