Re: Milage on 4lt. engine
250,000 km's is nothing.... I have 382,000 on my XJ (Cherokee) and it still
runs strong, no problems with the engine or rest of the drive train, the
body on mine is shot though.
Main things to look at is the floor.. they used a nice rubber backed carpet
during these years and it works great for not letting water get to the
floorpan but at the same time, any moisture that gets between the carpet
back and the floor will destroy the floor pan.. I had to replace the floor
from the fire wall bend to just aft. of the drivers seat as well as from the
curve to the front of the rear Seat on the pax side, from just inside the
frame channel to 1/2 way up the tranny hump. I also replaced the floor of
the cargo area from frame channel to frame channel.
I would also suggest taking a good look at the rocker panels as they have a
good tendency to rust out if the vehicle has or had running boards
installed.
Bill has a copy of the pics I took of the front floors, perhaps he could
post a link for you.

Re: Milage on 4lt. engine
I believe it was our bleeding heart Liberal Government we had back in the
late 70's that changed things, I was to young to ever find out why, but one
day in elementary school we were learning feet and miles then the next week
we had to change and learn meters and kilometers.
