      MrEeeaddict if you stay anywhere near the borders of Detroit it's high as hell. Like higher than anywhere else in the nation. Other than that as long as you have a good driving record it's descent.

    • @professorjack2099
      @professorjack2099 6 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      From what I've learned in my college course, it's because you need to give the engine time to circulate the oil. When an engine sits for a very long time, the film of oil that usually remains in the cylinders is lost. You need this film to prevent too much friction when starting up a engine.ALSO, modern vehicles (I think like 90s+) have computers that control many variables in the car such as ignition timing, air/fuel ratio, brakes, e.t.c. They "learn" overtime what values work the best in certain conditions, they even adjust to the way you drive.When a battery goes under a certain voltage (is dead) the memory of the computer dies with it, thus it has to learn everything again.It's probably not the best idea to give the engine only 1.2 seconds to "learn" how to idle correctly. Let alone revving the shit out of it.Could you imagine waking up out of bed for work with your dick on fire? That's probably how the jeep feels lol.

      How big are insurance costs in USA? Cuz in Poland is the main reason why we don't have more than 7-8 cars in collection.. especially now, insurence went up 20-30%, it's ridiculus, for example, you're buying a 5k $ car, and insurance is about 800$.. that almost 15% of the car!

    • @55points

    300 bucks is steal. the straight 6 is built like a tank & very easy to work on, and hell it does not even look like its even burning oil. Heck you can even find 4.0 engines with low mileage for a few hundred bucks then install it and bam now the re-salve value is way over 2k. Someone looking to build a cheap off-road trail rig would gladly pay 2k for that . Steam clean that engine and underneath detail it completely that jeep will look like new.

    • @benchattin
      @benchattin 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Aviator Guy No trail rig. These things are getting harder and harder to find bone stock that have been well taken care of. I know they're not extinct, but like the '80s - '90s Toyotas, Nissans, Grand Wagoneers, etc, people like me would pay top dollar for a well cared for stock example of one of these beasts, and keep it stock. Never run it hard or abuse it, just drive it. I don't have an issue with people who actually put dedication into their rigs without welding some hideous attachment to it, rattle-canning it matte black or camo, or chopping the top off then beating the snot out of it for no reason. A couple years back my friend bought a 1985 Toyota Pickup with 160k on it for $1,500. Standard equipment: 22re straight 4 with a 5 speed, long bed regular cab, blue, 1 owner, bone stock. Had regular rust in the regular places, not too bad. 2 months later he rips the bed off and replaces it with plywood, sprays the engine bright orange, rips out all the interior trim, spray paints it 5 shades of some ugly gray color, and later cracked the block for running it too hard. Now I'm trying to find one that's in mint condition and baby the shit out of it. Really bothers me when people treat vehicles that could take them several hundred-thousand miles like garbage. But like I said, if you wanna build some kind of trail rig or crawler, just do it right or don't do it at all.

    Back in the summer of 1998, My father and I drove his new Cherokee Classic home from Lou's jeep in Geneva Illinois when she had 9.6 miles on her, plastic still covering the headrests. It's in my garage this very day with 412k TROUBLE FREE miles and I HONESTLY blow away these New "jeeps" at every single stoplight. My wife hates it because there's no leather or xm or gps like our other vehicles, but I TRULY understand and can relate to that movie Christine, l love that JEEP! She's never let me down once, the Chicago winters are no match no matter how cold or how much snow drops. I'm extremely saddened to see these cars with jeep badges and soccer mom V6's in them. If jeep offered that model again, straight 6, Dana axels same everything I'm not sure there's a price people including myself wouldn't pay. Great find man!

      Ryukachoo the volts will be enough to light up a few electric bill but it will need a lot of AMPS to turn an engine.
      Power = Volts x Amps.
      Volts is the difference between the two terminals in levels of electron attraction. 12 Volts is the difference on a car battery. 110/220 is common for home voltage.
      Amps is the number of hard working electrons trying to get from one terminal to the other. The more of those electrons you have, the higher the amps, and it's the amps that do the real heavy work. The volts is just the difference between the terminals.
      Batteries run out of Amps, but the volts are often still 12v even when they are nearly flat (out of Amps).

    Tyler: On 4.0 litre XJ's the starter is located directly beneath the engine oil filter / oil filter adapter. When changing the oil filter place a plastic grocery bag around the starter to prevent oil from soaking it. Additionally, if equipped with one (I believe all years do, but not 100% sure) the engine oil filter adapter has rubber O rings (three) which can leak oil on the starter. There's a replacement O ring kit from Chrysler; it's a relatively simple DIY fix.

    The wires that run from the top of the hatch into the body also have a tendency to snap so if your rear defroster or rear wiper stop working, the cause could be the wires in that area.

So had the area of concern plated and fabricated on all for doors to eliminate future failures. This i got done through a friend for $50 bucks and a good old 12pk.
