Hello!
I have a 1995 Jeep Cherokee 2 door 4x4 with the 4.0 and AX-15. Its a wonderful little machine, we picked it up for 1k with 120k miles on it.
It had issues where it was burning a crap ton of oil but, replacing the entire CCV system and putting new oil with some Marvel Mystery Oil seems to have completely fixed the problem.
Obviously since it's been sitting for a few years (understatement I know) it has some age problems.
I've flushed the coolant system, put some 10w-30 Rotella T5 in, flushed the clutch and brakes, and I have fluids for the transmission, differential and power steering. The belt was shreking like a witch so I replaced that and tightened it until it didn't make a peep.
I also have a good sized exaust leak in the muffler. Looks like it got hit by a large object. Any good replacement suggestions? Cat might also need to be replaced, it doesn't stop smoking until it's been driven hard for a little bit.
I heard somewhere that using a full synthetic 10w-30 in the AX-15 was a good idea and I had a gallon laying around. It's Pennzoil. Good idea?
The clutch has about a half to full inch of dead space before it actually does something. I can just wiggle it around with my hand. Is that normal?
After sitting this long should I also replace the fluid in the differentials?
The only problem I haven't solved is the interior fuse box. It has a lot of rust and doesn't like to make a solid connection with most of the fuses. So going down the road, it likes to turn random things on and off as I hit bumps. My girlfriend thinks it's the funniest thing. Should I try to clean it with wire brushes and contact cleaner or try to find a new one? I haven't been able to find a replacement online unfortunately.
Any suggestions will probably be done as this car is gonna be my baby.
Thank you
