1978 Jeep CJ5 Four Wheel Drive in Excellent Condition.

65,000 miles.
I have over $3,500.00 of receipts from the last two years.
When I purchased it, the Jeep was leaking oil very badly 
from the rear main seal. My mechanic said the seal was
dried out from sitting for so long in the previous seller's 
garage. Once the oil leaking problem was solved, the Jeep
has been a pleasure to drive. My mechanic repainted the
oil pan (it looks perfect), but I told him not to paint the valve
cover because I wanted it to stay original. The underside
of the Jeep is beautiful, with only very tiny spots of rust in
minor places.
The armor-plating was installed before I owned it, and was 
not put on to hide any rust, but to reinforce the body and to
make it look cool. There is no rust underneath the armor-plating
and it can be removed very easily.
16 inch Eagle wheels with a spare off-road tire and Eagle wheel.
I unbolted the spare tire and carrier off of the back of the Jeep
to make it easier to access the tailgate.  It also comes with a
large, steel basket to carry coolers, etc. which gets inserted into
the trailer hitch sleeve.
It has a wonderful three speed, manual transmission that is geared
very nicely for driving. I have never had it on the beach, and the 
previous owner never took it on the beach either. It has always
been garaged. 
The soft top is not in good condition (the plastic windows have
yellowed and cracked, but the side doors are in excellent condition 
(see picture of doors).
It has a new gas tank, new hoses, brake lines and other small 
improvements.  
I just purchased a brand-new Best-Top bikini top for it, and it 
can be put on or removed in seconds. It fits very well, and 
does a great job of protection. I like it much more than the full soft top.
This is the first CJ5 I have ever owned, and despite the lift kit and
large tires, it rides much better than I expected. It is very original 
and has always been adult-owned.
Reserve price is under $5,000.00.
This Jeep is really fun to drive (I drive it to work almost everyday), 
and people love it wherever I take it.
Serious bidders can call me at: (631) 513-9508 with any questions.
The Jeep is for sale locally and is sold in "as-is" condition. 
I reserve to end the auction early, and bidders are encouraged to
inspect the Jeep before they bid on it.  The CJ5 is located in
East Hampton, New York.
Thank you.

Least reliable cars and trucks of 2022

Tue, Nov 15 2022

Related: Most reliable cars and trucks of 2022   Every year, Consumer Reports ranks new cars based on their predicted reliability. We often see Toyota, Lexus, and a few other automakers near the top. But on the other side of the coin, the list of least reliable vehicles sometimes contains surprises.   The organization surveys its members to determine the vehicles that exhibited the most problems over the prior year. Owners are asked about creaks and rattles, the durability of parts and trim, and mechanical issues. Consumer Reports assigns a weight to each problem and then uses them to create a score, with 100 being the best. Some familiar names appear on the list of least reliable vehicles (in order with the lowest predicted reliability score at the top), but there are a few eyebrow-raising models, followed by CR's score: Ford F-150 Hybrid: 4 Hyundai Kona Electric: 5 Lincoln Aviator: 8 Nissan Sentra: 9 Ford Explorer: 16 Chevrolet Bolt: 17 Chevrolet Silverado 1500/GMC Sierra 1500: 19 Jeep Gladiator: 21 Mercedes-Benz GLE: 23 Jeep Wrangler: 24 Consumer Reports noted that sedans are the most reliable vehicle category and found that trucks are far lower on the list. That said, the survey showed that trucks from American brands tended to have better reliability scores, so it’s surprising to see GMÂ’s big two and the Ford F-150 on the list. Part of their problematic ownership experience could be due to the fact that all three trucks have received recent updates, and the Ford was completely redesigned for 2022. New tech, fresh drivetrain components, and other improvements can upset the balance of reliability and make newer models look less dependable than their older counterparts.

100,000 Jeep Cherokee models subject to further 9-speed recalibration

Thu, 29 May 2014

It seems that the software problems with the nine-speed automatic gearbox in the Jeep Cherokee continue to mount. The programming already caused multiple development delays and even postponed the Cherokee's market launch by roughly two months. Now, Jeep has issued another recalibration to hopefully assuage unhappy drivers.
According to Automotive News, this reflash for the allegedly jerky transmission covers over 100,000 Cherokees built before May 5, but it's not technically a recall. If owners are having problems and complain to the dealer, they get the new software. Otherwise, they continue with the current version. New vehicles on dealer lots also receive the latest revision to the programming. It takes only around five minutes to install, but technicians need to take the Cherokee on a test drive to adapt the gearbox to the changes.
The Cherokee's transmission software has been problematic practically since the beginning. The Jeep plant in Toledo, OH, briefly idled its second-shift workers last year to take care of the issue. Since the launch issues for the crossover, demand has been strong. Jeep added another 1,000 temporary workers to the Toledo factory to keep up, and sales were on par with the Wrangler in just its first two months.
