Have a deal on a 98 Cherokee, thats actually solid!
It has a few issues, so I have come to the "experts".
1: The owner says that it does not like it when the temp gets over 25C. It runs rough and over heats. It has a new rad and hoses and both fans. He, for some reason, did not change the thermostat. But runs fine when cooler out.
2: When locked into 4h or 4l, there is a slight grind from the front right when turning left.
3: Once she warms for a bit, there is a sound that, for no better description, sounds like rocks tumbling in a can. The sound does not change, when put into gear, so my first thought of transmission is out. The owner says it is the catalytic. Never having experienced this, figured I would ask.
And lastly, how hard is it to put a full gauge cluster into it? It has that gas and speedo set, I would prefer a full gauge set.
Thanks for any thoughts, and/or ideas.
