Please message me with questions at: kasandrakbbuscarino@ukcatering.com . 1997 Jeep Cherokee 152,400 Miles
Up for sale is my 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I picked it up about one year ago, and I am the second owner. Before I
bought the vehicle there was hardly any work done on it, other than a motor swap. From what I was told by the last
owner there was a knock in the motor at about 138k miles; and it needed to be replaced, so a motor out of a Jeep
Cherokee with 78k miles on it was installed in this vehicle. I picked up this vehicle because of the interior
condition. Out of all the other Jeeps I had viewed, this one was by far the best one. I have maintained it in its
condition since I picked it up.
My original intention was to make this a rock crawler and to eventually do a motor swap to either a stroked 4.6l I6
or an LS1 conversion. My reason for selling it is that I have run out of time (never patience) on the car and I
don’t drive it as much as I would like to. I would like to see it go into someone’s hands that appreciates the
off-road or to a Jeep enthusiast.
I had a trusted shop in town do all of the major work on it, but for the little things I decided to tackle the
project myself. All of the parts on the vehicle are less than a year old, and installed about 7k miles ago. I hate
to say it, but this vehicle hasn't seen as much the off-road as I would have liked.
Full Disclosure:
· Interior is in good shape 9/10
· Exterior is in okay shape 7/10
· Tire tread is at 70%, spare has not been used.
· Exterior does have some hail damage from before I bought it, nothing major.
· Exterior has paint blemish on front fender near hood. (can provide picture)
· Exterior has scratch on rear by the tailgate that is exposed down to the metal.
· Exhaust is starting to rust, which is why I will be providing a new Flowmaster Exhaust kit. (can provide
pictures)
· Paint started to peel just below the driver’s door, on the rocker panel.
· I recently was chasing an ignition issue, which was from the fuel pump giving out. (everything was addressed at
the local Chrysler dealership)
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

There are several modifications on this Jeep, so I might have missed some. I believe I got the majority of them.
Keep in mind everything from the ground up to the chassis has been replaced.

FCA facing class-action lawsuit over Grand Cherokee shifters

Fri, Jun 24 2016

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is now facing a multi-million-dollar class-action lawsuit over the recalled shifter design in the 2014 and 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and the 2012 to 2014 Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300. Grand Cherokee owners, galvanized by Star Trek actor Anton Yelchin's fatal accident, filed the suit. According to The Wall Street Journal, the owners allege that FCA concealed the shifter's problems. On top of restitution, the class action suit is demanding a court order force FCA to issue a do-not-drive warning to owners of affected vehicles until it fixes the problem. FCA started distributing a software fix to dealers last week – according to the WSJ, the update will add more warnings about the shifter's position and will automatically kick the vehicle into park if the driver steps out. FCA's shifter problems have been bubbling under the surface as part of the company's recall issues. The US government dinged FCA with a $105 million fine last year for its recall practices (or lack thereof) last year, but things have exploded this week after Yelchin's death. The 27-year-old, best known for playing Ensign Pavel Chekov in the rebooted Star Trek film series, was killed after his 2015 Grand Cherokee rolled down his driveway and pinned the actor against a security gate. According to Jeep CEO Mike Manley, the company will dispatch engineers to analyze Yelchin's vehicle. Related Video:

Chrysler recalls 468,700 Jeep Grand Cherokees, Commanders over rollaway risk

Mon, 13 May 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall covering a combined 469,000 units of the 2005-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the 2006-2010 Jeep Commander (inset). Of that number, 295,000 are in the US, roughly 33,000 in Canada and Mexico and the remainder in other markets. It seems an electrical fault in the transfer case can allow the affected SUVs to shift into neutral on their own, while an Associated Press report says that Chrysler had "found cracks in a circuit board that turns the four-wheel-drive system on and off." The issue was discovered when an owner started his car remotely and it rolled away.
Chrysler is expected to begin notifying owners in June 2013, who can then take their cars to dealers. The dealer will reflash the final drive controller free of charge. There's a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below with more information.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.
