1988 Jeep Grand Wagoneer

This has been a great vehicle for me. I have owned this Jeep for roughly three years. I am in the process of moving and am looking to part ways with my Jeep. This Jeep is a classic. It has been a good runner for me. I talked with my wife at great detail about this and have come to realize a few things. 1) I am not a mechanic. 2) I do not want to become a car guy because I would rather spend my money on other hobbies.

I have noticed over the past few months that there was some oil leaking from the Jeep. I took the Jeep into a mechanic this week and was given the following things to look at. 1) Manifold Gasket Set 2) Valve Cover Gasket Set 3) Battery 4) Coolant. The estimated repairs with parts and labor at this specific shop came out to $888.04. Please be aware of this. These are repairs the mechanic could see from the outside of the engine. There could be more once the engine is worked on. The driver side window needs a new track in order to function. I was told by the same mechanic the part can be purchased for about $10. I have a picture of the window motor in my pictures. The plastic track is what needs to be replaced. There are minor rust spots on the body. There is a major rust spot through the rear passenger side floor. This spot goes through the floor and is the size of a softball. Please see the pictures. I had the mechanic fix the tow package, so you could pull something if desired. The interior is in fair to good shape. The carpet is in good shape in both the front and middle of the Jeep. The carpet has started to deteriorate in the rear of the Jeep. If you look at the pictures, you will see a wiring system sticking out of the back door of the Jeep. This was something I had installed to operate the rear window. On this particular model, you need to roll down the rear window before opening the tailgate. If you look closely at the mileage gauge, the number in the one hundred thousandths place looks different. This has led me and my wife to feel as if a previous owner has tampered with the mileage gauge. Once again, I am not a mechanic. I want to make sure I am being as honest as possible with this description. If you have questions on anything else you see, please let me know.

On a final note, I am looking to sell this Jeep because I feel I can spend my money on other hobbies. This would be an awesome vehicle for somebody looking to restore or have a fun project at home. There is a reserve on this Jeep because it does have a lot of nice qualities to it. The best being that it is a cool ride. Please feel free to email me your questions and I will try to be as honest as possible about it. Please understand my knowledge of everything automobile related is limited, but I will try to do my best to help you out.

EU finds Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki Vitara break emissions rules

Thu, Jan 23 2020

AMSTERDAM — Fiat Chrysler's Jeep Grand Cherokee and Suzuki's Vitara diesel models both break emissions rules and must be fixed or face a ban on sales across Europe, the Dutch road authority ruled on Thursday. The RDW authority, acting as the reference regulator for across the European Union, said Jeep had developed a software fix and that the authority had ordered the company to recall the model across Europe to roll it out. It added Suzuki had yet to find a credible solution for the Vitara. "Suzuki must come with adequate improvement measures or the RDW will begin the process of revoking its European type approval," the RDW said in a statement, adding it had also started the process of revoking approval for the Jeep Grand Cherokee as a "precautionary measure." Regulators across the world have been testing diesel models since Volkswagen admitted in 2015 that it used illegal software to cheat U.S. emissions tests. The RDW said it had found both the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Vitara had used "prohibited emissions strategies" that led them to emit higher levels of harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx) on the road than under testing conditions. Dutch State Secretary for Infrastructure, Stientje van Veldhoven, said in a letter to parliament she would inform prosecutors of the RDW's findings. Fiat Chrysler and Suzuki could not immediately be reached for comment. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Jeep will build old Wranglers next to new ones in Toledo

Mon, Mar 21 2016

Jeep made a lot of people happy when it confirmed that the next-generation Wrangler would continue to be built in Toledo, OH. Now, news is breaking about the lengths the automaker will go to in updating its northern Ohio factory. There's good news for Jeep dealers (more Wranglers to sell!), Jeep fans (more JKs to buy!), and Jeep itself (more money to be made!). According to a report from Automotive News, capacity at the factory will be increased to 350,000 units per year. That's around a 50 percent increase over what the Toledo complex can currently manage and is, according to Jeep boss Mike Manley, part of a move to keep production "at the right place" so "supply [stays] just behind demand." The other big news revealed by the AN report focuses on the future of the current Wrangler. Yes, the current JK has a future. It'll continue to be built at the Toledo factory up to six months after it successor arrives in showrooms, a move that's partially down to the way Jeep is shuffling production about. Toledo currently builds the Cherokee on a unibody production line – it'll continue to do so until March of 2017, when production will move to Belvidere, IL. The unibody line in Toledo will then be converted for body-on-frame production, which should take about six months. But during that time, the current JK (likely rebadged as a "Wrangler Classic") will continue to be built alongside another line of next-generation Wranglers, keeping dealers supplied with the today's Wrangler through March of 2018. The two Wranglers will overlap for about six months. This is all very good news if you've been waiting to pull the trigger on today's Wrangler. But move quickly Â– the clock is officially ticking.

2014 Jeep Cherokee will keep Liberty designation in China... sort of

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Chinese buyers will get their first live look at the 2014 Jeep Cherokee during the Shanghai Motor Show, but CarNewsChina is reporting that it will go by a different name - Ziyou Guan, which translates to "Liberty Light." The article states that our Jeep Liberty was never sold in China, but the iconic XJ Cherokee was sold and produced there as the Qinuoji (a phonetic translation of Cherokee).
The new Jeep Liberty Light will be built alongside the Fiat Viaggio (China's Fiat-badged version of the Dodge Dart) at the Guangzhou-Fiat plant, and the two models will share the same powertrains: a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder base engine paired to a five-speed manual or a dual-clutch transmission and a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (the base engine for the US-spec 2014 Cherokee) as an optional engine. It doesn't sound like the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 will be offered in China.
We'll be on hand when the new Jeep debuts in Shanghai, so stay tuned to Autoblog this Friday night and Saturday for our live coverage of the show.
