Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

stpid questions. why are 5.9s so sought after?

One year only so production was under 14k worldwide, had all of the best features in a ZJ, minus a third pedal. Fastest SUV built since the Typhoon and until the Porsche Cayenne Turbo came around in 2004 or so- 0-60 in 6.8, 1/4 in 15.1. Had a lot of heavier duty parts, and a lot of different smaller upgrades. I can go on with the ZJ nerd stuff if you need.

Stolen from wikipedia:

The 5.9 L Limited ZJ (1998)[edit]

The 5.9 Limited was a Jeep Grand Cherokee produced only for the 1998 model year, having more luxury and performance than that of the regular Limited. Chrysler manufactured nearly a quarter million Grand Cherokees in 1998. Of those, fewer than fifteen thousand were 5.9s. It housed a Magnum 5.9 L V8 engine with an output of 245 hp (183 kW) and 345 lb·ft (468 N·m) of torque, going from zero to 60 mph (100 km/h)in only 7.3 seconds[6] (Motor Trend measured this at a slightly faster 6.8 seconds[7]), making it the quickest SUV available that year. The performance of the 1998 5.9 L V8 has been surpassed by Jeep only with the introduction of the 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, which housed a 6.1 L Hemi Engine.[8] The 5.9 Jeep Grand Cherokee was named the 1998 four-wheel drive vehicle of the year by Petersen's 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine.[6]
The 5.9 Limited was available only in Deep Slate, Stone White, and Bright Platinum. Other features separated the 5.9 from the standard Limited model including:[9]

A Deep Slate 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 L (Note hood louvers and mesh grille inserts)


  • Functioning heat-extracting hood louvers
  • Revised grill with mesh grille inserts
  • Five-spoke alloy Ultrastar wheels
  • Black-wall tires
  • Chrome plated exhaust pipe
  • An improved premium 180 watt, 10 speaker Infinity stereo system
  • A rear speaker bar for additional Infinity speakers
  • Calf-grain, soft leather seats and trim
  • Leather center console armrest
  • Leather door inserts
  • Leather shift handle, e-brake and transfer case handle
  • Enhanced faux wood trim throughout, additionally around the transmission shift handle base
  • A full-leather spare tire cover with multiple pockets
  • A center leather armrest in the rear seat
  • A lower-profile roof rack
  • Molded rocker panels
  • Chrome Badging
The Grand Cherokee 5.9 further included additional performance-enhancing features including:
  • A stronger 46RE transmission than the 5.2
  • Quadratrac heavy duty NV249 transfer case
  • Standard trac-lock rear differential
  • An electric cooling fan
  • A high-output 150A alternator
  • Lower restriction exhaust and chrome plated exhaust tip[10]
Further statistics from Motor Trend, January, 1998:[11]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

The guy I bought the house from had a 5.9 ZJ. He loved the thing.

Forgot if I ever mentioned that.

There's a guy locally that has me beat big time- I've had 3, two on the road and one I bought totalled and parted most of the way out. This dude currently has 4- one with a Vortech V1 and an NV4500 swap, a white 5.9 he was DD'ing, a 93 with a 5.9 swap with all of the OBD2 stuff swapped, a slate 5.9 he was turning into a lightweight 2wd racer, and my old parts 5.9.

Was trying to research some gun shops in my area.

Maybe I'll hit one of them up this weekend and just take a look around.

Thinking about getting a 12ga shotgun after talking with T-pain.
