1999 Jeep Wrangler Sport on 2040-cars
Santa Fe, Texas, United States
As stated above jeep has what I have been told was piston slap , it has been doing it since I bought it @ the first of the year, and only does it at idle speed after it warms up. Hasn't got any worse and I wouldn't be afraid to drive it anywhere but it is there. I bought a new GMC truck and didn't want to drive it to work because of the parking and had wanted a Jeep for awhile and bought this one for the purpose of a work car. I looked at ALOT of jeeps before I found this one, most of them were rusty or beat to death.This one is very clean for the year underneath as well as on top. Got ticked off and retired last month so if I can get my money or close back now I will get rid of the jeep , if not I will keep it as a extra car. I have put @ 4000 miles on it. So there is my story.
Last month I had a new clutch, pressure plate ,throwout bearing,and pilot bearing in it. Also had a small leak so also replaced the oil pan gasket and the engine is VERY clean in the pan and all looked good there, and because I had heard there was a problem with the oil pumps making noise I had it changed while the pan was off (made no difference at all by the way) Other than mentioned above the jeep runs excellent ,uses no oil,no smoke,and shifts and drives good also. A/C , heat, wipers,power steering/brakes, lights,stereo with speakers in sound bar and dash,all work as they should. 2 tires are different brands but all 5 are in good shape , locks on all 5 wheels , high lift jack , carpet is good also.It was also a guy my age I bought the jeep from and until I got it had spent it's life @ Austin Texas . It also has a throttle body spacer , flowmaster exhaust with header , and a K& N air filter,and as stated the jeep runs and performs very good. It is not a new car so if you expect one buy a different one , I don't have to sell mine and sure do not need the drama.Shipping is on the buyer and all sales are final . If you want to set up a time to look at it that is fine ,PAYPAL FOR DEPOSIT ONLY. |

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands
Wed, 10 Apr 2013With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.
Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models
Wed, 16 Jan 2013Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?
Jeep shows off Moab Easter Safari concepts crawling the red rocks
Thu, 28 Mar 2013While most brands are busy showing off in New York, Jeep headed out to Moab for the Easter Jeep Safari with the company's fleet of 2013 concepts. This year saw the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk II, Wrangler Mopar Recon, Wrangler Stitch, Wrangler Sand Trooper II, Wrangler Flattop and Wrangler Slim Concepts tackle the rocks and sand, and Jeep was kind enough to bring along a camera crew to film the machines rolling over a few obstacles. The result is the video below, though don't expect to see too much hardcore off road action.
Instead, the quick clip features more than a few interviews with Jeep executives, including Jeep Head of Product Design Mark Allen, explaining what makes the Easter Jeep Safari so important. You can check out the quick clip below for yourself, and be sure to thumb through our galleries of the concepts as well.
