the timing chain was done before I got it, it's never been done. I change the oil about every 5000 km or close to it. Snow...

I'm only going off the "recommended" service life. Not knowing the engines condition. With routine oil changes the chain could well last much longer than 200,000 Miles. Heck, I put over 200,000 Miles on my C-10 rear diff without one fluid change. o_O -- DougW |

Re: 93 Jeep Cherokee
No, we got it around 250K or so. It has been nice to us. We have off
roaded it on some pretty insane trails and it still hangs in there. Minus a few pieces like the rear bumper end and some trim bits trees took out, but.... ;-) The slave is going, so I am going to have to pull the thing apart soon.... Oh well, it likely is in need of it's first clutch change too.... (only one previous owner and I have the history) I have also put about 40K miles on my CJ7. We have decided we like Jeeps and will likely stick with them. Well, we will never sell our CJ7, that's for sure, we might upgrade to a newer Cherokee some day.
