[toates89]

I blew my engine in my 99 GC on xmas. and i have an engine waiting for me there but i only have 55 dollars to my name. can someone please help me

Wish I could help, work is super busy now that all the rich people are back from vacationing and I don't have a trailer

 

[toates89]

thanks, yeah its been a real rough couple of weeks. i blew my engine then i got the flu, then i got over it, and then got the flu again.

I wish I was closer and could help. I know how things can go. I got laid off right before Thanksgiving. The whole family got the flu. My daughter ended up on the hospital. All in all, compared to some years, this was a good year. I have had some real crappy ones.

Things are tight but if it would help, I can paypal you $20. I learned a long time ago, that helping someone else never costs you.

Take 55 dollars and get AAA. Push jeep to street, Call AAA. Tell them where to bring it

glad to hear it. best of luck getting the new motor in :thumbup:

If I were closer I'd be willing to lend a hand. Any technical problems you know where to post!!

might want to up your AAA i get 100 miles free

 

[toates89]

Well i just got a call from the shop. New engine has a knock. when it rains it pours

 

[chedisme]

that sucks. but the 4.0s will run for years like that. I know my last motor was shot to hell. it sounded like a bunch of skeletons were tap dancing in my valve cover. and I dd'd it like that for about a year. even drove it back and forth to RC 3hrs each way and beat the hell out of it for a few days. the only reason I even swaped it out was because I got a good deal on a low mileage replacement. I really wanted to run it untill it totally self destructed.

so you might be ok... at least for a little while.

My first jeep knocked when I bought it with 136k miles, and it ran like a champ til I sold it with 215k miles, still knocking.

 

[Luke95]

Run it till it shits out its what I'd do.

 

[toates89]

Its a engine with 0 miles on it. I am not satisfied with paying 1700 for a engine with a now oil pressure issues

 

[rweaver138]

well, that changes things a bit

 

[chedisme]

Yea. That would piss me off. Who did the rebuild?

 

[kastein]

shoulda put in a junkyard one in your driveway... even at $300 each that's enough to try 5 times.

 

[chedisme]

yea I got mine from kens junk yard.
