Well, to start off...I am glad to be back. I have regretted selling my 99XJ from the day it drove away. I recently picked up a 97 cheap (skyjacker lift, new 32's, pushbumper, lights, roof rack, light bar, no rust or dents, and I got it for $700.00 ) knowing it needed some work, and that is where my question is.
I was told that the guy had a leaky waterpump, continued driving it, and overheated it. The engine still runs, but very rough. I checked the oil and found no signs of water in it. What usually is the first to go on the 4.0's when they overheat? I will do a compression test when it warms up a tad (12 degrees right now), but for now.....it sits
If it needs a head, will I need a 97 or newer?
I have searched and obtained ALOT of other info from you guys about modifications and I do appreciate it.
Thx again,
