1989 Jeep Wrangler Laredo. (YJ Series ) 4.2 L six cylinder engine. Our mechanic said that there is problems with the Number one cylinder which has a problem with either the cam lobes on the camshaft rounded out or maybe something happened with the lifters. The Number 3 Cylinder is not holding compression. In short the engine will have to go through major repairs or replaced. It still runs, the mechanic disconnected the two bad cylinders. It runs rough but it is drivable. The Jeep has a hard top Here is what we did to the jeep. The floor on the driver side had rusted out so we purchased a new floor pan and tack welded it into place and used an auto motive bonding agent to seal the floor pan. There were also some rust holes in the side wall on the driver side. We patched these holes with pop riveted steel plates and sealed these with an auto motive bonding agent. We used Line X truck bed coating on the floors and side walls on the interior of the jeep after cleaning some surface rust in parts of the floor. We reinstalled the carpeting. We replaced the seats with Hunsuker seats. The old seats were broken. The Hunsuker seats were black but faded to brown with the top being down during the summers . There is a tear in the driver side seat. I installed a latch system for the hardtop to connect it to the front window. It has a new Kenwood stereo with a USB port to plug in an IPOD. The body was a silver color. We removed the plastic wheel flairs and ground off the rust and coated the inside of the wheel wells with a rust encapsulater. We had the Jeep repainted a forest green color and re-installed the plastic fender flairs with new fasteners. This was all done six years ago and rust is starting to show up again. I replaced the latch mechanism on the tail gate with a brand new latch system. I also replaced a latch mechanism in the passenger door. The engine was a re-manufactured motor from Jasper Engineering. It was four years old. (That may be in its favor since the motor needs major repairs as detailed above. The Starter is three years old. The water pump is three years old. Some of the steel brake lines were replaced two years ago. The brake master cylinder was replaced last year. I installed a new radiator, hoses and thermostat last year. I installed a new cooling clutch fan last year to cool the radiator. A New carburetor was installed three years ago. A complete new exhaust system was installed six years ago. There is no catalytic converter. When the jeep would not start during the cold snap, We had it towed to our mechanic. In order to get it started he put in a new battery, Distributor cap, Rotor, Spark Plugs and Spark Plug wires. He was then able to get it started and that is when he discovered the problems with the 1 and 3 cylinders. The transfer case will shift into low gear and high gear but there is a yoke mechanism on the front axle that engages the hubs into 4 wheel drive. This is not working. There is a pressure switch on top of the transfer case that may have went out.

FCA delays Grand Wagoneer and next-generation heavy-duty Ram trucks
Mon, Dec 12 2016The upcoming Jeep Grand Wagoneer has had a tumultuous gestation thus far. At one point it was essentially confirmed, but later it was rumored to have been cancelled. In that context, the latest report from Automotive News is something of a mixed blessing. According to the publication, the Grand Wagoneer has simply been delayed, as has the next-generation Ram heavy duty truck line. This does not seem to affect the fully redesigned Ram 1500, which was previously reported to have been pushed back slightly to 2019. Automotive News says the information came from unnamed sources at the company. Nothing was said about how long the vehicles would be delayed. The publication also conjectures that FCA is delaying the models to save some money to help cover the company's $7 billion of debt , since re-tooling both the heavy-duty truck plant and eventual Grand Wagoneer plant will be expensive. View 6 Photos We reached out to Chrysler for more information on the subject, but the company wouldn't comment on the report. Even so, we wouldn't be too surprised if FCA is indeed delaying these products. The company has delayed a number of vehicles in recent years. In fact nearly every major FCA truck and SUV, including the Grand Wagoneer and Ram line, were delayed about a year and a half ago. We certainly hope the company doesn't delay the Grand Wagoneer for too long, since it's possible it will have a price tag of over $130,000. The profit margins on an SUV with that kind of MSRP would go a long way to helping to pay down the company's debt. Related Video:

Who are Mike Manley, Louis Camilleri, and Suzanne Heywood?
Sun, Jul 22 2018MILAN – Fiat Chrysler aid on Saturday that boss Sergio Marchionne, 66, would not be returning to work because he was gravely ill. In addition to being FCA chief executive, Marchionne was also CEO and chairman of luxury sports car brand Ferrari and chairman of truck and tractor maker CNH Industrial, which were spun off from FCA in recent years. Following is a brief summary on the executives who have been appointed to replace him in the various roles: MIKE MANLEY The 54-year-old Briton picked to become the FCA's new CEO has been leading the group's top brand Jeep since 2009, first as Jeep President and CEO at Chrysler and then as FCA's Jeep head. In 2015 he was also appointed head of the Ram brand. Under his tenure, Jeep turned into a global brand becoming, together with Ram, FCA's profit engine. Jeep sold nearly 1.4 million cars last year compared with less than 338,000 in 2009. Manley had worked as DaimlerChrysler's head of network development in Britain since 2000, having earlier worked for several years in car dealership. At Chrysler, he headed product planning and all sales activities outside of North America and then became the group's chief operating officer for Asia and the lead executive for the international activities outside of NAFTA. LOUIS CAMILLERI The new Ferrari CEO was already a board member at the luxury sportscar maker before his latest appointment. He is also the chairman of Philip Morris International, where he also held the job of CEO from 2008 to 2013. Born in 1955, Camilleri had joined Altria Group, which controls Philip Morris, in 1978 holding various positions until he became chief financial officer in 1996 and then CEO in 2002. Camilleri was also chairman of Kraft Foods from 2002 to 2007. Malta's Prime Minister Joseph Muscat wished Camilleri luck on Twitter saying he was proud to have "a bit of Malta in Ferrari" thanks to the new CEO, who was born in Egypt to Maltese parents. SUZANNE HEYWOOD The new, British-born chairwoman of CNH Industrial has been since 2016 the managing director of EXOR, the holding company through which the Agnelli family controls FCA. Heywood, 49, started her career at the British Treasury and then joined McKinsey in 1997, leading for many years the consultancy firm's global service line on organization design. She eventually became a senior partner there. Heywood sits on the board of The Economist, which is controlled by EXOR, and the board of the Royal Opera House, where she is also deputy chair.
