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. |

Jeep Wrangler rides into SEMA on new Mopar performance axles
Tue, Oct 30 2018Mopar is unveiling Jeep Performance Parts axles as the latest off-road accessory to the Jeep Wrangler, which itself won the "4x4/ SUV of the Year" honors at SEMA for the ninth consecutive year. The show opens Tuesday and continues through Friday at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Mopar teamed with longtime partner and auto supplier Dana to develop the axles, which are co-branded under the name JPP Ultimate Dana 44 AdvanTEK. They're installed on a Nacho Wrangler concept at Mopar's 15,345-square-foot display. The high-strength axles are built in the U.S. and feature gear technology that reduces gear set packaging, with added strength and overall rigidity for the trail. The high-clearance carrier design adds an extra half-inch of ground clearance, with an expanded range of gear ratios (4.56, 4.88, 5.13 and 5.38) to accommodate for more tire sizes. Chromoly axle shafts, thicker quarter-inch steel bracket mounts, 9.5-millimeter tubes and upgraded U-joints also add durability, while a nodular iron differential cover adds rugged looks, and its ribbing adds strength and rigidity. The direct bolt-in assembly allows for use of OEM components and includes electronic differential lockers already installed. The axles will be available for purchase starting next month.

2015 Ford F-150 named Truck of Texas, Lincoln and Jeep also awarded at Truck Rodeo
Tue, 14 Oct 2014The Ford Motor Company has a lot of reasons to celebrate after winning eight categories in this year's Texas Auto Writers Association's annual Truck Rodeo. Most important among them, the Blue Oval's latest 2015 Ford F-150 earned the prestigious Truck of Texas award, ending the Ram 1500's two-year winning streak. The 2015 Lincoln MKC also grabbed the honor as the CUV of Texas, and Ford was named Truck Line of Texas.
FoMoCo even took trophies for best technology with its extensive use of aluminum on its latest F-Series and best commercial vehicle for the new Transit 250. It wasn't a total sweep, though, because the Jeep Grand Cherokee grabbed the title of the SUV of Texas for the fifth straight time.
This year's event put 60 auto writers in 75 pickups, SUVs and crossovers and challenged them to find the best in a plethora of categories. All of the winners are listed below, and scroll down to read the full announcements from the Texas Auto Writers Association and Ford.
2016 Jeep Wrangler recalled over impact sensor wiring
Thu, Oct 20 2016Fiat Chrysler just announced a pair of recalls totaling nearly 311,000 units. The bigger recall affects certain 2016 and 2017 model year Jeep Wranglers. Although, since FCA claims all of the affected 2017s are in the company's hands, really, only 2016 owners should pay attention here. The affected Wranglers suffer from an issue where wiring disconnects from impact sensors in certain types of crashes, potentially preventing the airbags and pretensioners from activating. FCA uncovered the problem in what its press release calls "a routine, in-house crash test" and claims "service availability is imminent." The affected Jeeps require a simple rewiring. The other recall, announced Tuesday, is more of a fleet issue, affecting 2007 to 2013 model-year Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cabs and 2011 to 2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit police vehicles. There's a problem with "premature diode wear" in alternators that are subject to "frequent load cycling, at or near maximum amperage, [or] in hot ambient temperatures." Affected alternators could short out, causing a vehicle to stall or potentially catch fire. FCA lists 182,743 affected Wranglers in the US, 18,011 in Canada, 3,087 in Mexico, and 20,948 in global markets. The Ram/ Charger Pursuit recall lists 74,833 vehicles in the US, 10,077 in Canada, 1,088 in Mexico, and 134 outside the NAFTA region. Of all those vehicles, the Jeep recall hasn't caused any injuries or fatalities, while FCA says it's aware of one "potentially related injury" and no accidents due to its fleet vehicle recall. FCA says it will notify owners/operators of affected vehicles when service appointments are available. As per usual, all the work is free of charge. Related Video:
