Next day a guy emailed me saying he was interested and he had a 01 cherokee to trade for it. He said it overheated on the highway and he decided he didn't want it anymore. He casually told me that it had a cracked head (at 115k miles, and he had the entire engine replaced.) It got a blown head gasket, the mechanic at the garage where the jeep was parked at for months, told me. I don't know if the new engine still had a 0331 head on it or whatever. I ll find out tomorrow. My plans for it is to get back roadworthy ASAP so I can dd it while I build up my 99 XJ. Any tips would be appreciated.


The smoker I built
Nice! Needs chrome tips and a turbo

Lol. The smoker will be gone, the new owner is coming and pick it up next week.

The drivers door indeed is dented slightly.

Cheap? No. It's free lol

Installed my new vacuum line to the map sensor, jeep ran like a dream. Everything was right in the world. 10 miles into a long highway drive my stereo cuts out. then the tach. then the spedo. then the whole jeep halts.

I spent the next two days in 8 degree weather trying to get the alternator out. now everything is working again. at least for now.

Ha. Never had that issue. I don't live in an apartment building. We also have apartments that are the first floor of a 2 family house. Land lord lives above me.

I went over my entire jeep engine. Found things I need to fix for my coolant leak. Coolant lines and other not so fun things. Need to do spark plugs, wires, etc. Also need a mass air flow sensor.

Also. Because I parked it. It was snowed in with some frozen hard packed snow. So I instead of digging it out just muscled through it. And took pictures.
