I currently have the 83 Cherokee in the garage as I have it sold. I need to replace the valve cover, the battery, and the front sway bar and driveshaft. May install the nerf bars as well. Anyone have spare stock sway bar connecting rods?
Need to troubleshoot the 6.2 diesel 3+3 and get it started and gone.
Well, the Suburban's winterization is fixed, for now. I still need to install a trans warming pad. I got a cold front put on, and the block heater plugged back in. When I do the trans pad, I will also install another plug box and the buddy heater. I also need to install the running boards I've had since June.
The 83 Cherokee is an 86, but who's keeping track? No habla Jeep. I have actually done an extensive amount of work on this, and it is ready to be IM'd. It also most likely needs ball joints. I did drive it at 60mph and the wobble that used to be scary was barely evident. The sway bar and new steering stabilizer took care of the worst of the vibes.
the 6.2 diesel 3+3 is runninga nd mostly back together. just a few more tidbits to get accomplished and it is out the door! Need to install the flex plate cover, drive it a few miles, and re-check all the fluids. Replaced all the glow plugs, some winterization components, trans filter, gasket and fluid change, fixed the t-case shifter and reassembled it, and fired it up! Plus a few other little things.
Basically, Friday PM and Saturday I got two of my projects running and close to going out the door with cash in the pockets.
