Thanks!
The 4.2L has plenty of power for everyday driving as well as very good gas milage ( bad fuel milage on my truck is anything less than 18mpg).

I don't think that he should buy a '97 4.2L. Preventitive maintenance on a '97 4.2L would include replacing the head gaskets

Over the long run, the 4.6L will likely cost a bit less because it won't be leaking coolant.
