Jeep Cherokee 2-dr Wide Track on 2040-cars
Boone, Iowa, United States
|
I am selling my 1979 Jeep Cherokee Chief Wide track. The vehicle is not running. I replaced the intake manifold and carburetor about a year and a half ago with an Edelbrock performer intake and 600 cfm carburetor. Ever since, I have not been able to get it running other than briefly and roughly. I don't think I got all of the hoses and stuff connected back up correctly. I am pretty sure it just needs someone who knows these engines to get it working. It has the AMC 360 V-8 in it. It is not the original motor. The motor turns over fine when the battery is charged but it will not run. The paint job is about 4 years old and is not professional, but it looks decent when it's washed. There are some small dings, dents, scratches, and chips.
I have owned the vehicle since the early or mid 90's. It has sat in the garage a lot over the years. I would start it occasionally or pull it out to wash it, up until I replaced the manifold. It has the T-400 transmission and Quadratrac transfer case with the low range shifter. The axles are both Dana 44, not sure on the gearing anymore. It has a 3" add a leaf on the rear and 33x12.50x15 A/T's. The tires are old but they hold air good and have lasted along time. All of the glass is in decent shape. The chrome trim still shines. The seats are in decent shape, but there are some tears in the backs of the seats. There is no carpet or headliner in it, but it still has insulated mat on the floor. The dash in decent shape. There is no stereo or speakers. I don't think the fuel gauge works anymore. I have replace the front door seals and the roof rack seals. It still needs the rear door and window seals. Also, It does not have the rear window motor. As for rust on the vehicle, there is some minor surface rust on the underside of the roof from the rack leaking years ago and small area on the passenger side rear fender flare. The rocker panels are solid and the front fender wells are solid. This vehicle is originally from the Pacific Northwest and has never driven on the salted Iowa winter roads. I have also undercoated the frame and fender wells several times over the year to prevent rusting. This has been my baby for years and I hate to see it go, but we are going to be relocating back to the pacific northwest and I do not want to haul it across the country. I always had big plans for it, but if I had the time, then I never had the money. I am hopeful that someone will get to fix it up and use it like I always wanted to. Feel free to contact me with specific questions or if want specific pictures taken. The buyer is responsible for picking up the vehicle at my residence within 7 days of the end of the auction unless other arrangements are agreed upon between Seller and Buyer. Any shipping arrangement are the buyers responsibility. The buyer will pay a $500.00 non-refundable deposit within 24 hours of the end of auction. The remainder of balance shall be paid in cash within 7 days of the end of auction. The highest bidder at the end of the auction is responsible to uphold the contract of purchasing the vehicle. As/Is No Warranty on Vehicle. I have more pictures upon request. The pictures are from this past summer when I pulled the vehicle out and washed it. I can send you pictures of how it sits in the garage. |

FCA profits surge in second quarter
Fri, Jul 31 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles gave the cash register a beating in the second quarter, improving its net profit to 333 million euros ($364M US), which is a 263-percent jump over its reported Q1 profit of 92 million euros ($108M US). At the same time, FCA improved its global profit margin to 7.7 percent. Compared year-over-year, in Q2 2014 FCA reported net profit of 197 million euros making this year's Q2 a 69-percent increase, and profit margins a year ago were 4.9 percent. The two big factors for this increase are strong NAFTA sales and Jeep. In the US alone, Jeep sold 222,940 units in Q2 this year, a jump of almost 20 percent over the same period last year. Revenue in the NAFTA region totaled $18.8 billion, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes were $1.45 billion, both of those numbers more than doubling compared to 2014. The vastly better numbers come on marginally more global sales, 1,181,000 units sold in Q2 2014, 1,193,000 units sold in the same span this year. In the US, FCA began charging dealers one-percent more for vehicles to up the margins, a move that helped boost its US margin from 4.1 percent a year ago to 5.8 percent the first half of this year. The company is holding steady on its guidance of global deliveries at 4.8 million and its net profit guidance at $1.1 to $1.3 billion. It has increased its adjusted outlook for the year to $120.5 billion in revenue, and EBIT to "over $4.93 billion."

EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules
Thu, Jan 23 2020AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages
Wed, Dec 2 2015Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment.
