I am relisting my Jeep after fixing it, The governor pressure sensor in the transmission went bad and I couldn't sell it like that. I did some other things as well in the 2 weeks since it was last listed. First off its a clean Platinum silver 5.9 with a few dings and scratches, the hood was plastidipped because of a rust bubble. It has just under 196000 miles on it and runs good, It has 2,000 miles to go until the next oil change. Here's a list of modifications and things replaced in the last month.

Brand new 3.5" rough country lift kit with new shocks

265 bfg mts with 50-60% tread left

np242 swap so its not fulltime 4wd, you can shift into 4wd when needed like regular Cherokees

front axle ujoint shaft swap. to get rid of the cv shafts

new rear pads and drivers side caliper

new cat, o2 sensor and muffler

new headlight housings with silverstar bulbs

new clear corner lenses

fixed coolant temp message on the electronic display, common problem with a bad solder joint.

new transmission speed sensor. and governor pressure sensor

transmission is a jasper rebuild by previous owner

swapped rear axle assembly front another 5.9 s the pinion bearing went on the old one.

swapped steering boxes due to a leak from the same 5.9

No rips or tears in the leather, the only 2 electronic things I noticed that doesnt work is the drivers heated seat and the rear wiper. The headliner is starting to sag in a few spots(see photos), there is very little rust on this Jeep under the doors but it isn't noticeable unless you crawl under it, My plan was to find another hood but no luck yet. The suspension is brand new, I currently do not have a front driveshaft in it due to vibrations, I will include the cv front shaft but it should be upgraded to a ujoint front shaft out of a 6cyl ZJ. I do not need 2 vehicles so this one needs to go, It really is a nice looking Jeep Id like to see I go to a good home where it will be finished up. With a little TLC it will be perfect. Any questions please feel free to ask. The vehicle is being sold as is, with no warranty etc. Low reserve bid now to get a hard to find 5.9 ZJ!

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system

Sat, Jul 25 2015

If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking

Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall repair rates lag amidst reports of new death

Sat, Jan 10 2015

The problem with exploding fuel tanks in the 1993-1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee and 2002-2007 Jeep Liberty in some rear collisions continues to be a problem for FCA US, formerly Chrysler. The campaign to fix the utility vehicles was first announced in June 2013 after 51 claimed fatalities, and the fixes reportedly began in January 2014. However, there continue to be new deaths blaming the problem in unrepaired models, according to The Detroit News, citing data from the Center for Auto Safety. The automaker initially refused NHTSA's pressuring to conduct a recall because the models met applicable crash standards when they were manufactured, but eventually, there was a compromise to inspect and fix about 1.56 million Jeeps. With the fuel tank located between the rear axle and bumper, the unusual fix was to install a trailer hitch for extra protection. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration later agreed that the change would provide added safety in lower to medium speed crashes, but not high-speed crashes. The most recent fatality, according to The Detroit News, occurred on a Michigan freeway in November 2014 when a pregnant woman in a 2003 Liberty was rear-ended when traffic slowed. Her Jeep impacted the vehicle in front, rolled over and a fire resulted. The family reportedly plans to file a lawsuit against FCA. At issue has been the rate at which the vehicles are being fixed. In July 2014, the automaker estimated it could have all of the vehicles repaired by March 2015 thanks to additional hitch supplies. But by November, NHTSA claimed that only three percent of the recalled models had been fixed. FCA says it continues to work to notify owners, though. According to Chrysler spokesperson Eric Mayne to Autoblog, "We are processing approximately 1,200 vehicles per day. Every owner who schedules service is receiving service. As of Jan. 8, that total was 193,490." The company has also mailed out over two million notifications to owners, more than the number officially called in. Given the age of these Jeeps, many of them have had multiple owners, and historically, the older a vehicle is, the less likely the recall fixes are to be carried out. FCA is currently creating a video urging people to have the hitch installed to be released soon.
