a carfax report might be a little hard to come by as i am in riyadh and they have quite a big difference in policies compared to the states or canada. i'll try to contact the dealer also. i'm sure they have some sort of record (i hope).

i'm also gonna take a few pictures of the engine so i can post it here.

 

All bets are off the OBD II is a US system as is the 4.0L v8
3.9L v8's elsewhere.

 

oh ok, that would explain it. thanks landzu
