Re: Jeep reliability, Was "4 cyl. mileage"
Yes, but are you attempting to maintain seventy miles an hour out
I-10 where even the trucks are rolling at eighty.

Re: Jeep reliability, Was "4 cyl. mileage"
Blimey.
I've had the rear axle oil seal begin to weep, and a dry solder joint in the
alarm system which I resoldered myself. Since I have had it, it has never
failed to start first time, and has never bled anything on my driveway. I
haven't worked out what my I6 will do flat out - haven't ever taken it above
80. I do know it will pull 80 up a very steep hill though. Perfect vehicle !

Re: Jeep reliability, Was "4 cyl. mileage"
Today, yes. One way we had a heck of a head wind causing a lot of problems
even maintaining 60mph. Lots of shifting back and forth between third and
fourth.
Of course that head wind became a tail wind on the hour trip back and I
hardly ever dipped below 70 (maintained 70 -- too scared to go above that)
and didn't take it out of fifth until I hit traffic.

I get my ***** busted for talking about the 3 Wranglers I've had. <G>
Some people think I'm exaggerating.
My daily driver is a Tacoma, the Jeep is the wife's! <G>
