I'm getting rid of a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. This truck has been my daily driver for the last 2 years, and I absolutley love it. For the amount of miles on it, It's given me very minimal issues, and to be perfectly honest, I really don't want to sell it, but with the possibility of me moving 30 miles from work, I'm going to need something with better gas mileage. Here we go!
Specs:
-1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
-4.0L Inline 6
-Auto
-Flat black (yes, it's murdered out)
-2 Wheel drive (currently)
-276k Miles on the clock (Yes, I realize that's a SHITLOAD of miles, but I'm not joking when I say that this thing still runs and drives awesome. I'm guessing that the trans isn't original either, because it still shifts perfectly)
-Power windows/locks/cruise control
The good:
-Like I mentioned, the truck starts, runs, and drives GREAT, even through our shitty MN winters. No crazy clunks from the suspension or steering, no vibrations, nothing
-31" Yokohama Geolandar AT2's (they actually have some tread left too, should last the summer)
-New power steering pump and serpentine belt in the past month
-New water pump, idler pulley, plugs, wires within the past year (might need a new set of plugs by now, but there are no problems so I've just left them in)
-NEW (from jeep) ECU (bad ECU's are a common problem in the 93's, and a new one is $600, so you don't have to worry about that anymore)
-Replaced the crank sensor when I replaced the ECU (about 6 months after I bought it, also another common problem)
-Has an older style 5 knob AFC Fuel controller in it to squeeze a bit of gas mileage out of it. I can remove this if it's something that you don't want in the truck, but it gets around 16 miles to the gallon, sometimes a bit more
-New fuel pump replaced last summer
The bad:
-The biggest issue with the truck is that if you want the 4WD to work, the front diff needs to be replaced (or a new ring and pinion put in). When I bought the truck, there were 2 different size tires on it and it tore up the front diff. It still works great in 2wd, and I havn't gotten stuck in the 2 winters I've had the truck
-Rear main drips a drop of oil every now and then, but nothing rediculous that requires IMMEDIATE attention
-Rear pinion seal leaks a few drips as well (again, nothing that requires immediate attention)
-Power windows work GREAT, but only from the drivers control (another common jeep problem, can be fixed with a new connector on the back of the master switch)
-Drivers rear door was replaced at some point, and they didn't hook the electrical back up, so the window doesn't go down
-It was broken into a few months back, and they failed at stealing my cd player, but there are a few small cracks on the dash now from it
-Needs a new oil pressure sending unit (another common jeep problem. Right now it's just plugged because it was leaking so badly so the oil pressure gauge doesn't work, but it's only a $30 part, and very easy to install)
-There are 2 small rust spots on the truck. 1 on the passenger rear quarter panel, and 1 on the trunk hatch. Nothing bigger than a dollar bill
All in all, this is a great truck, and I honestly want to keep it. My need for something with better gas mileage, and wanting to mod something again is getting to me though. Come check it out!
