    Gotta love those Jeeps our family had a 1988 Cherokee Chief bought it brand new in 88 drove it till 1999 at that time it had well over 350,000KM not sure what that is in miles as I am in Canada the only thing needing replacing on it was a few clutch's rad hose and the usual oil changes other then that it had no issues AMC made the transmission for Jeep at the time I believe .

    I blanked out for the first few second of the video because this vehicle brings back so many memories. My dad got it for a family car when we first came to Canada, and we had it for 3 years, when we upgraded to a 2002 grand Cherokee.

    my grandpa had this exact one with leather and then replaced it with a 2003 liberty sport manual. I now have the liberty but I kinda wish I had the Grand Cherokee, theyre pretty nice

  • @SimbaTheGreat
    @SimbaTheGreat 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @1ownjoo2 Wiki is not a reliable source for anything. The 1st gen Cayenne isn't a crossover, but it's neither a body on frame truck either. The Cayenne is the equavalient to the VW Toureg which isnt a crossover either.

    I had a 97 grand Cherokee and it was a tank. Got it with 150,000 miles and sold it at 300,000. Only issue I ever had was a water pump and normal maintenance.

    I love those jeeps too. I have a red 96 grand cherokee limited in mint condition. Its got 41k original miles and rust free. They are so fun to drive. Thats why i got an older one. I'll make a video of it for ya

  • @SimbaTheGreat
    @SimbaTheGreat 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @1ownjoo2 Well technically speaking the Cayenne isn't car based so it's not a crossover. and both the Grand cherokee (ZJ-WK2) Have been unibody so theres no arguement there, and the cayenne is also unibody

  • @zezaekrael
    @zezaekrael 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Glad to hear it. Sorry my response was not helpful (too late!) but at least you did. Can always rebuild that other 4.0 and have a nice shiny backup or sell it. They are hard to kill and plenty of Jeep owners would be happy to take it off your hands.

    @aolhater12 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you look before he even started it the gauge was up at 210 degrees which means it was probably already running before he took the video or the water temperature sensor is screwed up. My guess is he already had it running before the video to make sure that it started and ran fine before making a sales video for it. I have a 1993 as well and I have gotten it hot before because my belt broke on me. It did not take long to overheat and if this Jeep was going to overheat, it would've in the video.

My stepfather starts it up to keep the battery active and then the noise immediately goes off. Itz been like this for at least almost a year!! Right now itz unregistered and he (stepfather) is looking into a good used 4.0 L inline-6 at the junkyard

    Hey Kyle, can you rev higher? Plus you say power everything, but manual seat. Could you also tell us, FWD, AWD, RWD, or 4WD, and more of the back, e.g. air conditioning if present, how it rides.

  • @killllshot
    @killllshot 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    Safe? You think that its safe for a car to heat up to 210 after idling for a few minutes? The 1993 Jeep we have only goes near or slightly above 190 when we are going up over Highway 17 in the middle of summer when its 90 degrees out.

  • @johnnyd4ev

    My 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo just went over 125,000 miles. I inherited it from my mother when she passed away. She only had driven it for 9 months. I would like to find someone to refurbish bumpers, front grill, inside ceiling, and side door covers. Everything else is in great shape, engine, etc., being a straight six cylinder my husband says they dont make them like this anymore. I will cherish this SUV forever/.

    Does anyone know if Chrysler has now or in the past recalled the bad paint? Mine is like a dark tan and the paint peels off the roof and hood like skin that's burnt from being at the beach too long lol. Its the dark tan color.......Also FYI for anyone, the Selectrac 4WD system is the best ever made!! Winters here in NJ are not getting better and I never had a problem with going thru the snow AWD. Yes it's better than a Benz LOL!

    That car has got an issue with its cooling system or a computer. Pause at 5:33 It has been idling for about 4 minutes and its all the way up to 210 degrees. You failed to mention that. We have the vary same jeep and it never gets that hot not even in town.

  • @zezaekrael
    @zezaekrael 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Pinging can be a number of things from bad gasoline (often due to water in the gasoline), bad valves, bad camshaft, weak rocker arm springs, could just be the valves need the lash adjusted too. Best bet would be to have a professional mechanic check it out.

    The only two things that is wrong with the Jeep 93-97 Grand Cherokee's, after carefully reviewing, are the transmission and the gas tank is placed behind the rear wheel axle. Otherwise, Good Vehicle!
