What did you do to your car/truck today?

Jeep.jpg Update 56 on my vehicle situation. I've accidentally ran the Eff Juan low on ATF twice since April (I really just don't give a flying eff juan about that MFer). With that being said it has had no reverse for the past 3-4 months and it now whines constantly. It was having overheating issues and I was like dude wtf so it got a new waterpump, thermostat, and a radiator. Now the FLIPPIN COOLANT IS LEAKING FROM THE TIMING COVER OH MY DEAR LAWD. Did I mention it's burning oil? Oh and another side note it has this weird unidentified metal clank in the rear. Bottom line FUG THAT BISH.

I bought a '99 Cherokee super stoked on it. Has piston slap like a mother franker when its cold :lol: sounds fine when its warm :smirk: 150k on the clock :panic: some dumb funker was working on it because the sum bish cut the body ground off and who knows where the hell the thermostat went. Dude, seriously, why do people run vehicles without thermostats? I don't know how much they cost retail but I paid like 5 dollars for mine. They installed a new starter because it wouldn't start...... but it still wouldn't start after they put the new starter on, so I guess you could say they're mechanics. I haven't even addressed that issue yet just been jumping the starter wanted to make sure the fugger would run at all before I did anything to it. But hey aside from all that the Jeep has no rust, it shifts well, and it has brand new tires. Lets see if it treats me better than the Eff Juan.

Those 4.0L's have wrist pin noise from using Teflon coating on the pins, it helps with lubrication on cold starts before the oil has a chance to circulate.......until it wears off as you would expect Teflon to do, and when the missing Teflon is replaced with excessive clearance you are left with the knock, however I can't say I've ever see one let go so you can probably relax there. As far as the no crank problem I'm betting if you check the neutral safety switch, you'll find its probably no good, they can be kind of spendy for a new switch but It's a common problem on those year cherokee's.

We had 4.0's preteflon, then taking one apart with high mileage with the new coating was kind of dramatic. they all flop, my daughter inlaws has about 140 on it now, and it has been rattling since it had 60 on it. it is a noisy engine by comparison to the others that were around in the early 2000's

My Cherokee that got wrecked was same engine same year, zero piston slap. I'm guessing it has something to do with the lady telling me she continued to drive it with a bad water pump, the only reason she parked it was the starting issue :lol: Fairly certain she barbecued the thing a couple of times :bonk:

So far I'm 55 dollars into parts and I have no regrets. Water pump, thermostat, idler pulley, and a belt.

Me? I traded mine in for this one

Sure it's a ladies truck, but the older my bones get, the softer (and more adjustable) my seat needs to be. Besides, it reads me my text messages.
