1997 Jeep Wrangler 5.7l V8 on 2040-cars
Cape Coral, Florida, United States
|
Up for auction is my 1997 Jeep wrangler with a 5.7L small block Chevy 350 and a 700r4 transmission. My goal for this jeep was to make it a simple vehicle to work on as well as visually appealing and I personally believe that I have succeeded. There are no complicated fuel systems needed to diagnose or intricate computer systems to troubleshoot. Anybody who knows Chevy motors would be able to work on this jeep with no trouble. This vehicle runs and drives well. It has great low end power with the ability to cruise 80 miles on the highway no problem. This Jeep has not been abused at all. For the most part it was garage kept except on sunny days when riding to the beach. The odometer on the jeep list 195930 but I did the swap at 182000 miles so the power train only has 14,000 miles on it. I am the second owner. As soon as I purchased the Jeep I parked it in my garage and began the conversion. The reason I am selling is because of the lack of use it gets in my possession. The majority of the 4 years I’ve owned it, it just sits in the garage. So I would like to now use that space to build a caf? racer. Here’s a list of a few of the main specs/mods I have done: POWERTRAIN 5.7 L Chevy V8 350ci (Remanufactured Crate motor) 700r4 Transmission (Rebuilt from Goodfellas transmissions in Tarpon Springs) March Performance Serpentine Kit Lokar 700r4 linkage shifter NP231 Transfer case Transfer case cable shifter MSD Hei Distributor Edelbrock 1400 Carburator 3 Core radiator with transmission cooler ports Electric fan w/ shroud Stand alone Transmission cooler Custom Exhaust with muffler and catalytic converter 4.11 Gears Edelbrock Performance 2101 intake manifold Conversion adapters through Advance Adapters and Novak EXTERIOR Freshly painted exterior within the last 2 years Rugged Ridge Side rails Warn Front Bumper with a grill guard and winch mount 9000lb winch Fender Flares Hood lock for security New Bestop Top Mirror relocation bracket so that you can ride with the doors off still have mirrors. INTERIOR Freshly painted interior within the last 2 years Upgraded to 03-06 roll bar padding Upgraded to 03-06 Sound Pods with light All the gauges in the instrument cluster works with the conversion except the tach so there is an aftermarket tach on the dashboard Dashboard blue led upgrade CD/MP3/USB head unit Alpine Mono Amp Sony Explode Subwoofer Speaker upgrade to 5.25 speakers in dash and 6.5 polk audio’s in speaker pods Both the front and rear seats are vinyl. Not covers. Interior lined with truck bed lining Fuel Pump cut off switch for security Jeep branded grab handles SUSPENSION 16x Moto Metal wheels Goodyear Duratrac 305x70x16 tires with 95% tread left Full Size Spare tire holder 3” Zone lift kit Adjustable upper control arms The front brake pads have <300 miles on them and the rear shoes still have plenty of life on them. The brake lines were flushed 2 months ago. Plus much more… To see more pictures of this Jeep go to http://imgur.com/a/XIjgf If you would like a specific picture to be taken, message me and I will try to take it as soon as possible. I understand that it may be a little intimidating to buy a vehicle so I am trying to make it as easy as possible so I have created a video for your viewing pleasure. These are not the best quality videos but it can give you something to judge off of before you come see the jeep. To see a video of a test drive of this jeep click https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjhpkuhIHQo Another video of the jeep driving at highway speeds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB9NDW0pIUY&feature=youtu.be There aren’t many flaws at all on this jeep, but I want to be open with the jeep so the only ones I can find are a small scratch on the driver door. The Pulley kit comes with the AC Compressor and the Jeep’s OEM setup had A/C as well, I just haven’t had the work done to finish the setup. It really just needs an accumulator and a shop to hook up the hoses to the compressor. With the windows down or doors off, I never had a need for A/C but at least you know its not too much more work needed to get A/C if necessary. And the driver sun panel may need to be stitched up (seen in the pictures). I have a clean title in hand. This jeep is road ready. Bring cash and your own license plate and drive it home if you want. Keep in mind that this is a FL jeep so I have not had to have any emissions tests. Buyer is responsible for researching their state's registration requirements. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask or come and see it for yourself. I will need a non refundable $500 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction ending and the rest of the payment within 7 days of auction ending. I’ll accept cash or cashier checks for payment. Jeep is listed locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Any ebay members with less than 10 feedback MUST message me prior to bidding or their bid will be cancelled. Buyer is responsible for all shipping costs and arrangement. This vehicle is being sold as is, where is with no
warranty, expressed written or implied. *Buyers Inspection: I have done my best to
disclose all information known about this Jeep for auction. I welcome a buyer’s
inspection. If you plan to have an inspection, please make ?sure you inspect
the vehicle prior to the auction ending. If you choose not to inspect the
vehicle prior to purchase, you are responsible to use the photos provided
and ask questions before purchase to ensure the Jeep meets your expectations
upon pickup. Inspection fees, if any, are Buyers responsibility. Winning bidder has committed to buy, not look. On Apr-04-14 at 15:18:22 PDT, seller added the following information: No Reserve and I am not ending auction early. Highest bidder on Monday night will win the Jeep!

Ram and Jeep diesel emissions allegations spur class action lawsuits
Tue, Jan 17 2017This shouldn't come as a surprise. Last week, the EPA issued a notice of violation to FCA after it determined that Jeep and Ram installed eight undisclosed auxiliary emissions control devices on diesel vehicles. Since then US law firm Heninger Garrison Davis, LLC and Canadian firm Sotos LLP have launched class action suits on behalf of owners. These latest lawsuits are unrelated to a previous class action suit brought against FCA and Cummins over NOx emissions in 2007 to 2012 Ram models. The violation notice – and the subsequent lawsuits – covers 2014 to 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ram 1500 models equipped with the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, a total of about 104,000 vehicles in the US. The EPA says that while the emissions control devices aren't necessarily illegal, installing them without disclosing them to the EPA is, as they produce more emissions in real world use than in testing. Skirting certification in this way might be a violation of the Clean Air Act. FCA could see fines of up to $45,000 per vehicle, depending on the outcome of the EPA investigation. FCA denies that these are cheat devices, and has proposed software updates to bring the vehicles into compliance. As for the lawsuits, Heninger Garrison Davis says that "Fiat Chrysler marketed those vehicles as environmentally friendly with enhanced fuel efficiency, better performance, and lower emissions. Although the diesel vehicles were successfully marketed as 'clean,' their environmentally-friendly representations were deceptive to consumers." The suit seeks an undisclosed amount of compensation for owners of these vehicles. In Canada, Sotos LLP is seeking $250 million in damages on behalf of owners. This suit, filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, also claims deception on the part of FCA, "resulting in losses and damage" to owners. These are similar claims to group actions against Volkswagen with regard to its diesel emissions cheating scandal. While VW is fixing or buying back many of the affected vehicles, the company is defending itself against some suits on behalf of owners, saying it expects " no decline in the residual values of the affected vehicles as a result of this issue." Don't be surprised if FCA mounts a similar defense.
2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab Edition
Wed, 11 Dec 2013There will forever be a soft spot in my heart for the Jeep Wrangler. The last one I owned was red, and, as a 1990 model, had the square headlights derided by Jeep enthusiasts who grew up on the Civilian Jeeps that descended from their General Purpose military ancestors. As a teenager, I couldn't have cared less what shape its headlights happened to be - to me, a Jeep Wrangler represented freedom; a carefree do-it-all machine equally at home with the top stowed away in the summer or with the heater on full blast in the snowy clutches of Old Man Winter. In Dr. Seuss parlance, my square-headlighted Sneetch was just as worthy as any round-headlighted Sneetch.
All that said, I'll be the first person to advise against buying a Jeep Wrangler of any sort for owners who don't plan to use it as its makers intend. There's no good reason to punish yourself with a stiff and springy ride, a loud and somewhat drafty (though generally water-resistant) interior or the poor fuel economy expected of a block-shaped vehicle if you don't enjoy its other, more exciting benefits.
Of course, Jeep has done its darndest over the years to make the Wrangler as civilized as possible while keeping it as capable as federal law will allow. The 2013 Jeep Wrangler Moab edition is one of Jeep's latest attempts to attract attention from the upper reaches of the active lifestyle set, and I spent a week with one to see what makes the Moab special.
Jeep idles second shift it hired a month ago for 2014 Cherokee
Tue, 24 Sep 2013In an unusual move, Chrysler is idling its recently hired second shift of 2014 Jeep Cherokee builders because, Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement, it already has built the "critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released," Automotive News reports.
After the "critical" 9,430 Cherokees were built, the layoff was enacted so as not to strain the automaker's logistics partners before the Cherokee is actually released. Chrysler says the temporary layoff will last about two weeks, with 500 workers out of work and another 600 reassigned at the Toledo Assembly Complex where the sports utility vehicle was being built. The second-shift workers were hired on August 19.
Chrysler previously insisted that it would release the Cherokee to dealerships by the end of the third quarter, and it initially planned to start selling the SUVs in mid-August. Apparently the Cherokee needed a software fix before hitting showrooms, which is how Chrysler explains why the release schedule is out of whack. We're thinking that this software fix addresses the "powertrain calibration" issue that delayed the first media test drives of the model. According to the Toledo Blade, Chrysler has admitted it is doing "extended quality validation testing" but refused to provide more information.
