This is a 1999 Jeep Wrangler with a fuel injected 5.3 liter v8 from a 1999 Chevy Silverado. The engine's wiring harness and computer were sent off to Novak Conversions and were professionally converted and labeled. The engine had 100000 miles on it and the jeep had a 102,000. The conversion only has less then 500 miles on it. The transmission(AX15) was from a company that cracks open trannys, cleans, inspects, and paints them. The trans in it was 1000. The engine was 900. The conversion bell housing was 450. The clutch was 350. I got Novak Conversions motor mounts and bushings which was 190. The transfer case is original, it was originally mated to the AX5 transmission that is now gone. I changed the input shaft to match the new AX15 transmission. It shifts great with the Redline MT-90 oil thats in it. The t-case was clean as a whistle when i opened it. The pick up had no debris of any kind. No metal filings. The rear was rebuilt with new bearings and spider gears.The gearing is 3:73 in the rear and the front needs to be changed to match. The driveshaft is off as of now. The floor is rhino lined and shows its wear but its great stuff. I have 4 BRAND new red letter General Grabber AT2 tires to go with it. They've never been installed I bought them yesterday. The tires on right now have 50% tread they're 33's Mud radials. I was in the middle of chamging the interior to camel tan which is why it looks weird. Ive been buying camel tan pieces and i also have the correct code vinyl paint can for camel tan which is still full. The rear tire carrier and bumper is brand new and installed last month. I have brand new never installed black 5in KCs that were to go with my brand new never installed windshield mounts. I bought both last month, still in their box to go with the jeep. The jeep needs to be programmed for the cold air intake and headers. It runs lean and makes quiet lean pops at idle. The exhaust is hot, another symptom of leanness. At cold start it runs perfect until it warms up and goes into open loop phase. because I was unaware of the effects of CAI and headers on the fuel mixture before I got my computer programmed. The engine has a brand new alternator, MAF, TPS, ECT, IAC, Spark Plugs, Radiator, rear lights, Water Pump, both O2 sensors, High Flow Catalytic Converter, fuel filter, Plug Wires, there's so much new. The Speedo, and Tach don't work cause they're unable to adapt to the signals being sent. All the other gauges work and so does the check engine light. This thing has a lot of power even running lean. I'm leaving for Boot Camp for the coast guard very soon so its priced to sell. Ive spent about 7K on it. But I'm not trying to make money on a car that still needs work. I built this with every penny i had. I took no cheap short cuts. I wanted fuel injection and was willing to spend the extra 1000 to get it. I've done all the hard stuff. The top isn't bad, no holes or bad rips. Also has a brand new steering box put in 2 months ago. but jeep needs alignment really badly. The windows are new. Call or text 7577107108.

Jeep Wrangler likely to get aluminum body, will stay in Toledo
Mon, 27 Oct 2014Perhaps more than any other vehicle currently for sale in the United States, the Jeep Wrangler is viewed by purist fans as a vehicle that simply must maintain the status quo. In this case, that means a body-on-frame design, solid axles, a relatively large engine sitting up front and a removable top. It's always been that way, and it always will be.
Maybe.
According to the most recent reports, the next-generation Jeep will continue to soldier forth with a full steel chassis underneath its stamped bodywork. The biggest change, reports Automotive News, will be that said panels will be hewn from aluminum instead of steel, a seismic shift of a transition not unlike what's happened with the new Ford F-150. Because it won't be a unibody, the SUV will likely continue to be assembled in Toledo, OH as it (almost) always has been - the latter has been a source of heartburn in recent weeks for the Northwestern city in the Buckeye State.
EV cost burden pushing automakers to their limits, says Stellantis' CEO Tavares
Wed, Dec 1 2021DETROIT — Stellantis CEO Carlos Tavares said external pressure on automakers to quickly shift to electric vehicles potentially threatens jobs and vehicle quality as producers struggle with EVs' higher costs. Governments and investors want car manufacturers to speed up the transition to electric vehicles, but the costs are "beyond the limits" of what the auto industry can sustain, Tavares said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference released Wednesday. "What has been decided is to impose on the automotive industry electrification that brings 50% additional costs against a conventional vehicle," he said. "There is no way we can transfer 50% of additional costs to the final consumer because most parts of the middle class will not be able to pay." Automakers could charge higher prices and sell fewer cars, or accept lower profit margins, Tavares said. Those paths both lead to cutbacks. Union leaders in Europe and North America have warned tens of thousands of jobs could be lost. Automakers need time for testing and ensuring that new technology will work, Tavares said. Pushing to speed that process up "is just going to be counter productive. It will lead to quality problems. It will lead to all sorts of problems," he said. Tavares said Stellantis is aiming to avoid cuts by boosting productivity at a pace far faster than industry norm. "Over the next five years we have to digest 10% productivity a year ... in an industry which is used to delivering 2 to 3% productivity" improvement, he said. "The future will tell us who is going to be able to digest this, and who will fail," Tavares said. "We are putting the industry on the limits." Electric vehicle costs are expected to fall, and analysts project that battery electric vehicles and combustion vehicles could reach cost parity during the second half of this decade. Like other automakers that earn profits from combustion vehicles, Stellantis is under pressure from both establishment automakers such as GM, Ford, VW and Hyundai, as well as start-ups such as Tesla and Rivian. The latter electric vehicle companies are far smaller in terms of vehicle sales and employment. But investors have given Tesla and Rivian higher market valuations than the owner of the highly profitable Jeep and Ram brands. That investor pressure is compounded by government policies aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions. The European Union, California and other jurisdictions have set goals to end sales of combustion vehicles by 2035.
FCA spends $1.5 billion to retool plant for Ram production
Tue, Jul 26 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is planning to invest $1.48 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly plant in metro Detroit to build the next generation of the Ram 1500. The investment will allow the assembly plant to go from unibody to body-on-frame construction. FCA also confirmed that production of the Chrysler 200 will end in December in order for the plant to be altered. As previously reported, FCA is looking to move production of the 1500 from its current assembly plant in Warren to the Sterling Heights Assembly plant (both are in Michigan). While FCA has not released any official plans for the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Automotive News reports that the plant will be retooled to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs. Earlier this month, FCA announced plans to invest $1.05 billion to retool the Jeep Wrangler factory. FCA's current investment plans are part of the automaker's push to put competitive products on the road.
