02s should be ok as the injector problem was suposidly fixed by then. Still a very fussy engine re maintenance. If you cant get proff of regular maintenance dont buy but otherwise with a mechanics check it should be ok.
I dont think these engines are doing the mileages the earlier ones did but because of the early injector problems this might not actualy be true

The 3.0 litre motor in the Rodeo here in Aus was not the 4JX1, but an up grade of the 3.1 as in our MUs. Was around 96 kw and 295 Nm with electronic pump and a chip up grade is available.
Good truck.
Cheers Bruce.
