They do seem pretty tough. I know the history of this one from day one and, while not phyically abused, it was neglected for a long time.
This is my first Cherokee and I don't know anyone else w/one this old but mine makes all kinds of bumps, grinds, dings, ticks and whines....but it seems to...
I actualy put in 11qts total. One 5qt and one 1qt...then my additional 5qts after the beers ;). So it has 11 now less what it's puked out.
I forgot to mention the low RPM vibes. At higher RPM's it felt OK...I assume the oil was foamed! I thought the vibes were another problem raising it's...
How bad is this...
Last Saturday I replaced my rear main seal and valve cover gaskets in an attempt stop the hemmoraging. It was already a long day and I was exhausted. The car sat Saturday and Sunday I added the oil (while having a few beers with my neighbor) and I drove to work Monday.
Last...
I was thinking $3500.00 and I would pay cash AND come down to Portland to get it...
$3500 is all I have.... :(
That's a NICE jeep. Makes by POS look positivley haggard.
Maybe I can talk my wife into spending a little more....I'll have to part out my '.89
It's a terrible place to live. Stay far far away.

That's what I told people when they found out we had bought a home here last year. I told them it's was full of methlabs and the aryan nations and the only reason I came...
Job market is OK...depends on your skills. I work in Spokane Valley in the electronics/contract assy biz. I have a 25 min commute from CDA...@ 70MPH.
Housing has gone WAY up but you can still get decent deals outside of town.
the swaybar is not going to be causing death wobble, the trac bar can. I don't even run a swaybar, but that's a matter of preference.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
You don't run a front sway bar? Just curious....hows that handle?
Mine touches the front coils just a...
I did mine all by myself in about 7 hours. The price was right and 6 months and 7500 miles later, the rear is still about 3.75".
My '89 rides better than before the lift....but my suspension was shot already so my benchmark's not the best. Then again, I'm not wheeling the Rubicon or Moab...
Just an FYI. I had the very similar sypmtoms and checked all of the above.
After all the trouble shooting and new parts, I finally rechecked my injector wires and "click", one of them was not quite all the way engaged. They all looked and felt fine. But one was just backed off enough to cause...

Double check the bell housing bolts. We just saw a similar symptom on a rig and the bellhousing was loose and moving.
This would cause my symptoms? It doesn't FEEL like a tranny/clutch problem..
Feels more like it...
I put new Ford injectors in about 3 weeks ago and the 89 jeep ran great. It was like I gave it a tune up!
Then a week ago, I notice a slight stumbling during acceleration at the bottom end of the RMP range in 1st gear.
Then. last night while getting on the freeway it started stumbling and...
FWIW - My high idle was cause by a couple of loose bolts on the intake...just enough for air to squeak in.
I havd tried everything...but re-torquing the bolts did it.
I've only owned my Cherkee since last year. Is it normal for the filter to hold oil even after I've drained the pan? Everytime I change the oil I drip a ton of oil out of the filter when I remove it. There's also a puddle of oil in the screen when the filter screws on. Is this normal? I would...
Like I said, I've been going up there for years and we picked it because it's NOT like CA. We make sure to tell everyone down here what a backwards, boring, depressing place it is so please don't come up... ;-)
Also,m my typo, I meant CCP as in carry permit not CCR . Not to be had in...
