Re: Help with 92 Sahara Purchase
Too bad, I thought you might have retro'ed the distributor and was
wondering how you liked it.
Anyhow to the OP, we have over 310K km on our 88 4.0 and it is still
going strong.

My 94 YJ Sahara has 329224 km. I had to replace the original radiator,
water pump, coolant hoses including the heater hoses at 304101 km. The fuel
pump is starting to get weak and the injectors probably need replacing due
to the low rpm symptoms. I also have a lazy lifter when it's cold. The 2nd
gear synco is also lazy in the cold, so I double clutch. All the oil and
lube is synthetic which really helps. I think the Jeep CJ, YJ, TJ is the
best designed long lasting domestic OEM body, engine and tranny out there
as far as domestic cars are concerned. IMHO.
BTW, my Sahara seats are like strong canvas and they are still good with
no tears or cuts. They last longer than leather.
