i found a 93 cherokee 4x4 for 2500. has a 3.5" tough country lift, tow hitch, roof rack. 130k miles. 4L I6. is this a good year ? any quirks w/ em or things to look for ? it is from a co-worker who has had it in family for 3 years and maybe drives it 10K miles a year.
That inline 6 engine is one tough beast. I think you will be pleased with the torque.
mine had a standard tranny behind it that always would grind going into reverse and eventually in every gear.
The rear main seal on the engine tends to leak on some so look for that.
The clearcoat on the paint is a problem area, look for fading or peeling. A waxing now and then is a good practice
I put a new radiator in around 120,000 but it was probably my fault for lack of preventive maintenance.
Overall I would give it a thumbs up :2thumbs:
Agree. My 93 wrangler had that engine, lots of torque. I loved it.
Get em' down a bit and it seems fine. The 4.0L is one good engine :nod:
I am absolutely thrilled with my 97 cherokee sport...4.0 inline 6...awesome rig!
My '99 TJ tranny grinds going into 2nd and a little going into 3rd. But I do love that straight 6. Mmm-mmm-mmmmm.Quote:
