Red Lion, Pennsylvania, United States

 Up for sale is this 1980 Jeep Cj7
Mechanical
This Jeep is equipped with the 304 v8 and is mated to the factory T176 4 speed transmission. It has a Dana 300 transfer case and narrow track AMC 20 rear end installed. Up front it has the Dana 30 axle, however, I do not know the gear ratio installed in the axles. The engine ran and had strong oil pressure before the gas tank was removed. The original fuel tank developed a small fuel leak. Included with the sale is another fuel tank that I purchased for installation (Shown in the picture).
Chassis
The frame has the typical CJ rust in the rear channels but the rest of the frame was found to be solid after checking with a ball peen hammer. In addition, all of the shock mounts and cross members appear to be solid. The frame does not have any cracks or rot around the front steering box or center channel areas. The body mounts also appear to be in good condition as well. The front and rear suspensions are not modified and still has all of the factory components still installed. This Cj is equipped with the power brake option. The right rear brake line was broken in half and needs to be replaced. Replacement brake line kits are easily available for the CJ models.
Body
The tub itself has rot damage in the front floor pans, quarter panels, rear fenders, and around the roll bar mounts. It would be better to replace the tub with one from a YJ or a reproduction. The front fenders have rot on the outer areas, however, the inner fenders are solid and do not appear to have any rust damage. The windshield frame will need to be replaced since it has typical CJ rust damage in the lower corners. The front grill, dash and tail gate are in good condition and can be saved. The hood is in good condition and has a tiny rust hole (shown in picture) which can easily be repaired. The temp and fuel gauges are currently not working, but all of the other gauges and lights operate correctly. I will also be including the front and rear Bestop seats with the sale of this jeep. The seats are in great shape and do not have any tears. In addition, there are two full doors that go along with the sale.

This Jeep has a clean PA title. Many more pictures are available upon request. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements. $300 deposit is due within 48 hours of the sale. I have set the reserve at a low price for an easy auction. If you have any more questions please feel free to ask. Thanks for looking and good luck!

Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.

What's really going on with the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's transmission issues?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

On September 23, Automotive News reported that Chrysler had idled the second shift workers it hired just five weeks prior at its Toledo Assembly Complex to build the 2014 Jeep Cherokee. At the time, Chrysler said it had "built the critical number of vehicles we need to stock dealerships once containment is released" and did not want "to put additional strain on our logistics partners ... upon release." That reasoning was not only unusual, it didn't seem to make sense.
It appears the center of the nine-speed issue is software, not hardware.
That same day, the Detroit News ran a piece claiming workers at the Toledo factory said the halt was due to issues with the Cherokee's transmission. It put the number of already-built Cherokees needing fixes at 1,000 and said that some of the workers not laid off had been instructed "to take the Jeep on long test-drives." That made more sense. Three days later, on September 26, Automotive News reported that the 500 workers laid off had been reinstated, with engineers "speeding repairs on the SUV's powertrain software." The AN piece didn't put a number on how many units are being fixed, but it did say that 12,000 have been built and are awaiting delivery to dealers. The best it could say about when dealers will get them, however, is that "progress on a fix is being made. It's unclear when shipments to dealers will start."

Chrysler highlights Mopar lineup for SEMA

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

SEMA is all about aftermarket parts, and in Auburn Hills that all comes down to one name: Mopar. After having previewed its lineup for this year's Vegas tuner expo earlier this month, Chrysler has now revealed what may not quite be its full dossier of modified show cars, but a good portion of them.
All told Mopar is preparing 20 vehicles for display at SEMA this year. Among them you'll find the Ram Sun Chaser, a 1500 Quad Cab show truck kitted out in two-tone orange and black paint, a roof rack for surfboards, onboard shower and convertible tailgate. The white Fiat 500L is called the Adventurer and is modified for a more rugged look that could hint at the upcoming crossover version. The Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver upgrades on the Trailhawk package with everything from roof basket to rock rails. To counterbalance the off-roaders, there's also a modified Chrysler 300S with a deep black paint job, special grille, Varvatos-edition wheels and more.
All four concepts details so far have Katzkin interiors as well, and there's also an unspecified Dodge Durango with a storm-trooper look in the gallery above. But for more details on what Mopar has installed on the Ram, 500L, Cherokee and 300, you'll want to delve into the press release below.
