Hey guy's ,how's she going eh? Thought I'd come over to the Jeep forum & ask some questions about buying this Jeep I'm kinda getting the bug for <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />.
It,s a black 1987 YJ Laredo 5spd. hard top w/soft & doors, all original paint & 2 tone decals,chome package, original alium. hole sloted rims ,all terr BF Goodrich tires. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
Not knowing anything about Jeep's, it's got a couple of issues i'd like to question you guy's on
1. The serial # says this jeep came w/ a 4.2L carb, but this one has a 4.0L fuel injection in it w/ the block # having a M in it I think this mean's it's from 87&88 years so this must mean it's out of a Cherokee or Comanchee?is this right?<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />(that explains for the wiring hyway being exposed <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />.
2. The fuel pump is a external one but I think it's in the wrong place?It's on the inner fender well ,close to the intake & the filter just before it. The fuel line looks like it's not a high pressure line either ?
3 The clutch feels funny when engaging, it engages close to the floor ,very touchy, does this mean the hydrolic ralease bearing needs replacing? Noticed oil between the motor & trans leaking <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
4 The ignition on this thing is got some issues to , when you turn the key to the on position you have to flick a toggle switch to engage the starter to start .Ignition switch on lower column not working properly ? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
The motor sounds real good ,but 1 leaking injector ,Not to sure what else I should be looking for he want's $1500.00 for it &I just found out he paid 1000.00 for 2 of them which the other one was a 89 Sahara , Is it worth it ? thanks ,your info would be greatful.
