1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport on 2040-cars
Santa Fe, Texas, United States
As stated above jeep has what I have been told was piston slap , it has been doing it since I bought it @ the first of the year, and only does it at idle speed after it warms up. Hasn't got any worse and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere but it is there. I bought a new GMC truck and didn't want to drive it to work because of the parking and had wanted a Jeep for awhile and bought this one for the purpose of a work car. I looked at ALOT of jeeps before I found this one, most of them were rusty or beat to death.This one is very clean for the year underneath as well as on top. Got ticked off and retired last month so if I can get my money or close back now I will get rid of the jeep , if not I will keep it as a extra car. I have put @ 4000 miles on it. So there is my story.
Last month I had a new clutch, pressure plate ,throwout bearing,and pilot bearing in it. Also had a small leak so also replaced the oil pan gasket and the engine is VERY clean in the pan and all looked good there, and because I had heard there was a problem with the oil pumps making noise I had it changed while the pan was off (made no difference at all by the way) Other than mentioned above the jeep runs excellent ,uses no oil,no smoke,and shifts and drives good also. A/C , heat, wipers,power steering/brakes, lights,stereo with speakers in sound bar and dash,all work as they should. 2 tires are different brands but all 5 are in good shape , locks on all 5 wheels , high lift jack , carpet is good also.It was also a guy my age I bought the jeep from and until I got it had spent it's life @ Austin Texas . It also has a throttle body spacer , flowmaster exhaust with header , and a K& N air filter,and as stated the jeep runs and performs very good. It is not a new car so if you expect one buy a different one , I don't have to sell mine and sure do not need the drama.Shipping is on the buyer and all sales are final . If you want to set up a time to look at it that is fine ,PAYPAL FOR DEPOSIT ONLY. |

Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh
Thu, 28 Feb 2013We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
Dongfeng and PSA extend Chinese joint venture
Thu, Dec 19 2019BEIJING/PARIS — China's Dongfeng and Peugeot maker PSA are extending their business cooperation, despite the Chinese company reducing its stake in PSA to help smooth the French carmaker's merger with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA). Dongfeng said on Thursday it had agreed with PSA to extend the duration of their joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot Citroen Automobiles (DPCA). Under the deal, the venture could get the rights to PSA's new brands in China and will benefit from new technologies and intellectual properties, the Chinese company said. PSA was not immediately available for comment. The announcement comes a day after the companies said Dongfeng would reduce its 12.2% stake in PSA by selling 30.7 million shares to the French company. Analysts said the move could smooth U.S. regulatory approval for PSA's roughly $50 billion (GBP38.97 billion) merger with Italian-American carmaker FCA. The sale of Dongfeng's shares in PSA, worth around 680 million euros ($757 million), will leave the Chinese group holding around 4.5% of the merged PSA-FCA, which is set to become the world's fourth-biggest carmaker by sales volumes. "As the cooperation between Dongfeng and PSA deepens, we expect the joint venture to continue making good progress in China," a Dongfeng representative said. On a conference call, Dongfeng said DPCA would have exclusive rights to PSA's Opel cars should the partners agree to bring the brand to China, and enjoy lower prices on car parts imported from PSA. Earlier this year, a document seen by Reuters showed Dongfeng and PSA plan to cut jobs at Wuhan-based DPCA and reduce its number of car plants to try to make the venture more profitable.
