Hello everyone!
I have been an automotive enthusiast (AKA car nut) for years, but I just purchased my first Jeep this past weekend. I have been interested in them for quite a while but for some reason or other I never got one.
Until now, all my mild off roading, was done in a jacked up 89 Crown Vic station wagon, lovingly dubbed "The Hillbilly SUV" Believe it or not, it has more ground clearance than the Cherokee, but is easier to get high centered due to the longer wheelbase. (Being 2 wheel drive doesn’t help much either, despite the traction loc rear)
Every vehicle made his it’s little quirks and things specific to it’s design that are handy to know, so I am asking for some people to point me in the right direction with my new toy.
I just got solid, 89 Cherokee 2 door with 138k on it. It has the 4.0/auto with the closed loop cooling system. The interior literally looks new, except for the headliner, which should be a relatively easy fix.
Here are the bugs I need to work out, in no particular order.
(Yes I know how to use the search function, and plan on using it regularly, but this is my first post so cut me some slack, ok?)
Cruise control, doesn’t work.
Drivers window grinds and has to be helped up if rolled all the way down.
Clicking/popping noise from the front end, when making a sharp turn in full time 4x4.
Mystery rattle coming from inside passenger side of the tailgate.
Minor oil leak coming from the valve cover.
Thanks, for having me.
