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.

2014 Jeep Cherokee gets official in a hurry
Fri, 22 Feb 2013Automakers work very, very hard to keep their new vehicles under wraps until they can present them in exactly the way they want it - typically choreographed under the bright lights of an auto show, or perhaps with photos or video in an idyllic location. Spy shooters and leaks, in other words, keep executives and public-relations types up at night.
This is likely to be one of the most polarizing designs to come out in 2014.
Take today, for instance, when the team over at Jalopnik got a big scoop - the first undisguised shots of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, a model whose name wasn't even officially confirmed yet. The clandestine images taken inside of a factory were blurry and didn't exactly show off the crossover's radical new contours in the same sort of flattering light that Jeep probably would've wished for its product reveal. So the Auburn Hills automaker has wisely reacted by spilling at least some of the beans on the new model, giving us these four photos and confirming the Liberty replacement's name, Cherokee.
Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to get 8-speed automatic and 3.0-liter EcoDiesel
Thu, Mar 5 2015Following up on previous reports, an anonymous source within FCA has confirmed to Autoblog that the next-generation Jeep Wrangler will come to market with both a 3.0-liter, EcoDiesel V6 and ZF's critically acclaimed eight-speed automatic transmission. While this pairing makes a lot of sense (we'll explain why in a minute), until now, we only had limited reports that either item would arrive in the next-generation Wrangler. This is the first time we've heard that the eight-speed automatic and the diesel would be paired together. That said, we shouldn't be surprised by this news. FCA currently sells the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 with the diesel/eight-speed gearbox combo, making its inclusion in the next-gen Wrangler far from an Apollo 11-caliber feat of engineering. Naturally, we reached out to Jeep for an official comment. Spokesperson Gabrielle Schulte gave us the expected response to this kind of inquiry, telling Autoblog that FCA does not comment on future product. Jeep has flirted with the idea of a diesel Wrangler for some time, with CEO Mike Manley telling Ward's Auto just over two years ago that a Wrangler diesel was "on the radar," although at that time, we weren't certain whether it'd be the 3.0-liter EcoDiesel showing up in the rough-and-tumble off-roader. As for the eight-speed, SEC filings back in November revealed that it'd be coming to the Wrangler in 2018. Our source could not confirm which model year the 8AT/diesel would arrive in. Related Video:
2019 Jeep Renegade Limited and Trailhawk revealed with updated styling
Wed, Jun 20 2018A few weeks back, we got our first glimpse of the refreshed 2019 Jeep Renegade. The Italian-built compact crossover is currently the smallest model in Jeep's lineup. Details were scarce, but we now have some new info on the European-spec model as well as a whole batch of photos of both the Renegade Limited and Renegade Trailhawk. Visually, both the Limited and Trailhawk models get revised front fascias with dark LED and Xenon lighting that mimics the new Jeep Wrangler JL. The Limited's bumper includes more body-color panels with new turn signals, fog lights and a lower air intake. Outside of the new lighting, the only real change to the front of the Trailhawk is the lack of a bright red front tow hook. In the rear, both models get new taillights, though the bumpers appear to be the same. The Renegade Limited now comes with 19-inch wheels. The Renegade now has new gasoline and diesel engines, though it's unclear which — if any — will make it to the U.S. market. There's a 1.0-liter turbo inline-three that makes 120 horsepower, a 1.3-liter turbo inline-four that makes either 150 or 180 horsepower. That makes it as powerful as the 2.4-liter naturally-aspirated inline-four that's currently available. The 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter turbo diesel engines — not available in the U.S. — both get updated European emissions equipment. There are three transmissions: a six-speed manual, a six-speed dry dual-clutch and a nine-speed auto. The Renegade is still available with both front- and four-wheel drive. There are two four-wheel drive systems, with one slightly more sophisticated system reserved for the Trailhawk. Other carryovers include the removable My Sky roof panels and most of the interior. The Renegade also gets the latest version of FCA's UConnect infotainment system that is compatible with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Pricing hasn't been announced, but look for U.S.-specific details sometime later this summer. Related Video:
