1988 Grand Wagoneer


Unfortunately, a long distance move is forcing me to sell "Woodrow", my much loved Grand Wagoneer.  I've just upgraded the distributor and with that project came a lot of other new pieces:
Upgraded to HEI electronic ignition
New HEI distributor
New timing cover
New timing chain
New 100 amp alternator
New camshaft gear
New distributor gear
New water pump
New belts
New hoses
New oil pump

In the last 2 years it has received new: brake lines, calipers, wheel cylinders, pads, shoes, tie rods, sway bar bushings and links.
The steering box has a slight leak.  I have and new rebuild kit for it that is included.
The body and paint are in good shape.  It has been repainted.
The floors are all solid.  There is some bubbling starting along the bottom of the drivers side rocker panel.  The metal is solid, but the paint is bubbling.  There is also a nickel sized bubble on the tailgate just below the V8 badge.
It has a brand new JVC USB/Bluetooth radio.  I love it, but it does not play cd's.  I listen to it through my iphone.  It you prefer a CD player I have a Blauplunkt unit I will swap with.
New Infinity 6.5" speakers in the doors and Pioneer 6x9's in the rear.
The interior is great with the exception of the rear carpet, which is deteriorated and in bad shape.  I have the cargo liner back there so I didn't bother replacing it.
All of the power windows and locks work great.  The rear window functions well from both the drivers switch and the rear key.
The only two things that don't currently work are the A/C and the cruise control.  I have not yet looked into repairing them.
I have a nice extra rear window with a new track that is included.  The one that is on right now is a bit scratched.
It does have a trailer hitch with working round 6 light plug.  
The truck runs and drives great.  I drive it up to Northern Michigan (4 hour drive) with no hesitation.

Ask all the question you like.  Tests drives are welcome and encouraged!

Chrysler 3.0L EcoDiesel V6: Autoblog Technology of the Year finalist

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Offering 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.

Jeep launches new ad with unreleased Michael Jackson track

Fri, 09 May 2014

We've recently heard much about how Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne plans to pump up the volume on Jeep sales, inaugurating new models and global dealerships. But that's the stuff outlined in five-year plans; right now, advertising and special editions are at the fore, and the late Michael Jackson, too. Jeep has begun airing two commercials to push its Altitude Editions, Call of Summer and Lovers of the Game, that feature the song "Love Never Felt So Good" from Jackson's upcoming album of new music.
A little more star power - and timely, too - comes from Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving. While Call of Summer features a few short shots of the former Rookie of the Year and two-time NBA All-Star, Lovers of the Game is all about his white Wrangler Altitude Edition and wrangling shots. You can watch both spots below, and if you want to hear the rest of the music track before the album hits, you can download it from iTunes.

Four Wheeler crowns Ultimate Factory 4x4... who wins?

Thu, 15 Nov 2012

Nearly every automaker doing business in the SUV or pickup truck segments offers a package designed to improve the off-road capabilities of its wares. But, of course, not all such factory kits are created equal. How, then, to separate the wheat from the chaff? Gather each of them up and put them through their paces, naturally.
The folks from Four Wheeler and PickupTrucks.com joined forces to run just such a comparison test, with the winner named the Ultimate Factory 4x4. A total of seven vehicles showed up to the fight: the 2012 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor, 2013 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, 2012 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and Xterra PRO-4X, 2012 Ram Power Wagon, and 2012 Toyota 4Runner Trail and Tacoma TRD T|X Baja Series.
With the contestants in place, the whole crew put each vehicle through a battery of tests that included skidpad and acceleration measurements, a hillclimb, a rocky stairstep course and a rock garden. Considering the nature of the beasts, on-road ride and comfort were not part of the routine.
