AMC....Where Quality Is Built In, Not Added On.  Well along with the quality, they added a touch of rust to mine.

Here is one of the last AMC Jeeps built and this one is as typical a Wagoneer as you will find. It runs great and has fantastic 4WD, but it is rust prone. I have owned this Wagoneer for 10 years and it has been fairly dependable, but when the gas prices went up, I started using it less and less. Now it needs some work to make it great again and I do not feel like bothering. I had the floors fixed years ago, but they are soft again. Mostly by the front and rear passenger doors. The hump seems solid as does the load floor. The rear brake line on the drivers side rusted out and the exhaust needs replacement. It is lot drivable, but I wouldn't hit the highways with it (maybe on a dare involving cash). The heater core looks like it is leaking when I brought it out to take pictures. The hitch also is pretty tired from rust too.

On the plus side, it always starts right up and the 4WD is operational and I have never gotten stuck with it even though I run street tires on it. It has a real 4 low on it which will pull out tree stumps. The paint on it still shines up and the woodgrain is pretty decent for a 26 year old car. The air did work but it has a slow leak and I had to recharge every other summer. It is still R12. I had a detachable face CD player professionally installed when I bought it that still works with newer front door speakers. The rear speakers are shot. The interior is very nice and the leather is still intact and pliable. The headliner is still up and isn't tore up. The front windows work fine but the rears are slow. Tailgate window works, but not the defroster.

This would make a great driver if someone has the patience and time to do floor pans and all the other issues I tried to describe. It always got positive comments wherever I went with it because there just are not many of these around anymore. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Ford extends shutdown, Stellantis confirms layoffs due to chip shortage

Thu, Apr 22 2021

Ford and Stellantis this week announced new production cuts due to the global semiconductor shortage, with popular models including the Ford F-150 and Jeep Grand Cherokee facing cuts. Stellantis plans to temporarily lay off workers at one facility as production is curtailed.  According to Automotive News, Ford is extending shutdowns at some of its North American facilities into May. The Blue Oval has been forced to reduce or idle production of both its redesigned F-150 pickup and the popular Explorer due to the chip shortage. The Mustang, Transit, Edge, Lincoln Nautilus and Aviator will also continue to be affected. Stellantis is planning to temporarily lay off workers at a Jeep plant in Detroit during April and May due to a shortage of semiconductor chips. The company will cut two work crews at its Jefferson North plant in Detroit for three weeks starting April 26, then call them back and lay off a third crew from May 17 through the week of May 31, according to a schedule obtained by Bloomberg News. The plant on Detroit’s east side normally operates two shifts with three work crews six days a week to keep it running 20 hours a day. “Stellantis continues to work closely with our suppliers to mitigate the manufacturing impacts caused by the various supply chain issues facing our industry,” company spokeswoman Jodi Tinson said in a statement. “Due to the unprecedented global microchip shortage, Jefferson North will adjust its production schedule through the end of May.” Jefferson North employs about 4,800 hourly workers and makes the Jeep Grand Cherokee, the top-selling Jeep model last year, and the Dodge Durango SUV. A redesigned version of the Grand Cherokee is scheduled to start production in August, according to researcher AutoForecast Solutions. This article contains reporting from Bloomberg.

UAW workers strike at Stellantis casting plant in Indiana

Sat, Sep 10 2022

DETROIT — United Auto Workers union members went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana, citing health and safety issues including the company's alleged refusal to repair and replace the plantÂ’s air conditioning and heating systems. The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the powertrains of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles and a long-term strike could affect vehicle assembly lines across North America. Stellantis says production had not been scheduled for this weekend and it hoped to resume negotiations as soon as possible on a contract with striking UAW Local 1166. In a statement, Stellantis said it was committed “to providing a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. After bargaining in good faith for two days and presenting an offer we believed addressed the unionÂ’s concerns, we are disappointed by the UAWÂ’s decision to walk out.” The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the world's largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis. It makes aluminum parts for components including transmissions and engine blocks. The UAW local complained in a statement that Stellantis “claims it has no money to meet its membership's basic needs while ”making record profits and investing billions in a new battery plant across the street." UAW local president David Willis did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment. A person who answered the phone at union offices said he was preparing for a resumption in negotiations. The casting plant is to be retooled to produce engine blocks for hybrid-electric vehicles. In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers. Stellantis, formed last year with the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario. Plants/Manufacturing UAW/Unions Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM
