Re: Re: Important
Should be 2 small drains up top. Have to remove the cover to get to them. They are probably clogged. Sometimes you can just run a piece of wire through them. The water should be draining off the roof.

Looked at an 01 Cherokee as a dd. The guy said it ran great and only had surface rust. I got there and it had a lot of rust that was a pot hole away from falling out. Started the motor and it had a major rod knock. Told him I would give him scrap price. He said no. On the way home he called me and said he would take $500 (original asking price was $1500), I told him I would give him $300, he said no again. My bet is he calls me within a few days and accepts.

When I pulled the covers off the bounders a/c units, they had been completely overcome by wasp nest.

You would have to know more than I do about diesels than I do to mess with it.

Price out the parts to fix it (including a new head) and a replacement motor. Mercedes replacement parts aren't usually easy to find. I think he would have a hard time getting what he wants out of it...would be a cool jeep if it was running right

Rod knock or horrible piston slap?
My 01 sounds like you threw a bucket of bolts in a dryer. It's always sounded that way.

Ryan, you still have a washer bottle? Since I'm going to keep this POS, it might was well be capable of washing windows on command

Apple Valley Farms is still fun when wet.
Nice seeing Jeepmanwi there. Howdy Paul :wave:
I'm not sure why I damage stuff only when I run with other folks.
Ran all morning alone - no issue. Ran into some old trail buds, and 5 minutes later, I back up to get a better line on a muddy uphill mogul and slid a bit into a mud bank. The CB antenna snaps off at the base and a dent appears in the lower 1/4 panel. :doh:

Well, probably piston slap and rod knock. On start up and shut down its real bad, but when its running it certainly has rod knock. This motor is moments away from coming apart.

They're a great motor. Until you over heat them and the drop a valve seat.
I might be looking at one today. I have the guy to $500 said it runs really rough. I really hope it didn't drop a valve so it's a quick flip. Got my fingers crossed

Maybe altrocker and I should hit the JY and pull a half dozen $100 4.7s for you guys while the june motor sale is going on. It sounds like 4.7s from running/crashed jeeps and trucks would sell well in the midwest.

Happy Fathers Day!
Finished cleaning house and hiding dangerous objects as having GF family over.
Fri: "Go wheeling tomorrow, I'll get everything done for my party"
^^^^^^^*** uh huh
I gave my nephew the 98 2 door a while back. We went wheeling at AVF (RPM4x4.com). He's been into mudding. By the time we left, he left mudding behind. Wants me to help him budget build his 98 so it will do the stuff we did.
