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 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.
Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Offering a diesel engine in an American pickup is anything but new - Ford, General Motors and Chrysler all offer excellent and almost impossibly powerful oil-burning engines in their various fullsize trucks. What is new and novel about the 3.0L EcoDiesel, though, is its size, and the variety of vehicles that use it. It's the smallest engine, as far as displacement is concerned, currently offered in a large truck in the US, and, for 2014 and 2015, it is available in the Ram 1500 and the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Though it may be small, it's got muscle. While 240 horsepower isn't particularly impressive these days, the engine's 420 pound-feet of torque more than makes up for that. The torque rating is even greater force than even the big 5.7-liter Hemi can muster. Chrysler's well-regarded eight-speed automatic transmission makes the most of all that bull-headed pulling power in both the Ram and Grand Cherokee. Chrysler claims the Ram EcoDiesel 1500 can tow as much as 9,200 pounds when properly equipped, which makes it "90-percent of the Hemi with a night and day difference in fuel economy."
Make no mistake; it's that promise of a sizable fuel economy improvement that many long-haul truckers will be most interested in. In the Ram 1500 that we tested for our Tech of the Year competition, the diesel engine costs $2,850 more than the gas-fed V8, and Ram estimates that EcoDiesel buyers will pay off their investment when compared to the Hemi engine in less than three years, which is considerably less time than the 4.5 or so years the average buyer will keep his or her fullsize pickup. The more you drive, the more you'll save, and the math proves equally as effective in the Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Fiat-based baby Jeep spotted testing in US and Europe
Thu, 03 Oct 2013Details remain scarce, but our spy photographers have managed to capture the upcoming Jeep B-segment crossover for the first time, testing in both the Alps and in the US. Shown here as a cobbled-together Fiat 500L mule, the new Jeep model is expected to arrive for the 2015 model year and act as a replacement for the current Compass and Patriot models.
According to our shooter, the new "baby Jeep" will share a platform with the Fiat 500X, and both models will be built on the same assembly line in Turin, Italy. We can't tell much from these images, but the added length apparent on this 500L mule would seem to dispel the recent speculation that the new entry-level Jeep model would be sized closer to the Ford Fiesta - since the 500L is already considerably larger than the Fiesta. Powertrain options will likely mirror other Fiat/Chrysler collaborative vehicles like the Dodge Dart, but this Jeep will also try to live up to its off-road roots with an optional all-wheel-drive system.
