I bought this wag about two years ago for my 16 year old to learn how to drive in. We just sold my 18 year olds wag and now the 16 year old wants something newer to drive as well. This one has taken a lot of work to make it road worthy. The motor was rebuilt by a local machine shop and has about 1,000 miles on it. The battery, carburetor, alternator, thermostat, radiator, hoses, belts, fan clutch, tires, distributor (HEI), water pump, shocks, steering gear, fuel pump, starter, and some stuff I am sure I am forgetting are all new within the last two years. I like to play with old jeeps so it made sense to make one mechanically sound and let him learn in a heavy, safe car that could take a hit. I did the same for my 18 year old with a different wag and it has worked well.

What does not work - the a/c, cruise control. The power locks lock well but struggle to unlock. The back window does not work from the key switch but works very well from the dash switch. The rest of the windows work, front ones well and the rear ones slow. The body has scratches and dents and rust spots. I tried to show it all in the pictures but I think the pictures still make it look better than it looks in person. I guess these old wags are photogenic. The interior is in really good shape as the pictures show. The carpet in the back corners is dry rotting though.

the wag has a high capacity gas tank that holds about 28 to 30 gallons installed by the previous owner. 4WD works and this car did very well in the snow last year. When driven regularly it starts easily and runs well at operating temperature but I can not seem to get the choke set correctly so it does not run well until it is wormed up.

If you have any questions please ask. If you have zero feedback please contact me before you bid. I would like a $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of the auction close. Balance is due when the jeep is picked up. You have two weeks to pick it up unless we agree ahead of time on something else. I will accept cash or paypal only. If, when you come to get the jeep you feel that it has been misrepresented I will refund you $400 of your deposit back. The jeep is being sold as is where is and shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. I will be happy to work with your shipper if you choose not to come and get it yourself.

Chrysler axes old V6s, goes all-Pentastar

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

Old technology has a way of lingering on, particularly at Chrysler headquarters in Auburn Hills. So while the Pentastar V6 has replaced the older engine architecture in just about every application, it still soldiered on in some export markets. But the introduction of a new 3.0-liter Pentastar V6, produced in Michigan and meant only for the Chinese market, has put the final nail in the old engine's coffin.
Fitted into the 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Jeep Wrangler just introduced to China at the Chengdu Motor Show, the downsized six uses the same architecture as the larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6. But because of its 2,997cc capacity, it can be exported to China without the increased duty the 3.6-liter or even 3.2-liter Pentastar engines would incur. The 3.0-liter V6 develops 230 horsepower at 6,350 rpm and 210 pound-feet at 4,400 rpm.
Admittedly, it's unlikely, but even though the engine was said to be created solely to undercut tax thresholds in China and Europe, the 3.0-liter Pentastar has recently surfaced in rumors of an application here: as the boosted heart of a potential Cherokee SRT with anywhere from 375 to 410 hp.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee probed by NHTSA for brake problems

Sun, Jun 7 2015

Remember how Toyota got in all kinds of trouble over unintended acceleration? Well, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Jeep over unintended braking. NHTSA has announced a probe of 20,000 Grand Cherokee SUVs from model year 2014. Nine complaints have been received, with owners alleging that their Jeeps have issued brake warnings or gone ahead and applied the brakes when no threat was presented. Each complaint alleges that the vehicles have exhibited this behavior repeatedly, leading to a "sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic." So basically, a system designed to prevent accidents could actually increase the odds of a collision happening. Speaking to the Associated Press, Jeep spokesperson Eric Mayne said owners whose vehicles are exhibiting this behavior should report to dealers, while adding that the automatic braking/adaptive cruise control systems can be deactivated. Related Video: Scroll down for the official bulletin on the investigation from NHTSA. Date Investigation Opened: JUN 01, 2015 Date Investigation Closed: Open NHTSA Action Number: PE15021 Component(s): FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE Manufacturer: Chrysler (FCA US LLC) SUMMARY: The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) has received nine complaints alleging inappropriate activations of the autonomous braking system in model year (MY) 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee vehicles. All nine reports alleged unexpected braking incidents preceded by collision imminent brake warnings and resulting in sudden reduction in vehicle speed in traffic. Two complaints reported autonomous braking incidents with no objects on the road resulting in rapid increase in brake force and anti-lock braking system (ABS) activations. The complaints alleged experiencing multiple events at different locations and road conditions. A Preliminary Evaluation has been opened to assess the frequency, scope and consequences of the alleged defect. The following VOQ numbers are associated with the issues discussed in this resume: 10543837, 10713629, 10690650, 10663320, 10630362, 10596913, 10533622, 10533524, 10651269.

Watch a Cayenne Turbo S, Range Rover SVR, and Cherokee SRT drag race

Thu, Mar 17 2016

We live in a weird world where high-performance SUVs could win a 60-mile-per-hour sprint against sports cars from just a few years ago. Here, Top Gear sets up a three-way drag race against the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, Land Rover Range Rover Sport SVR, and Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT, and the results show just how quickly these high-riding models can cross the quarter mile. The Cherokee SRT is the patriotic choice among the three, but it's down on power in this fight. Meanwhile, the Range Rover's menacing growl sounds the best, and the Cayenne Turbo S has the most horsepower. You'll have to watch the video to see which SUV will win this battle. Related Video:
