`96 Cherokee -- any warnings?

Jul 14, 2004 2 Replies

I just contracted to buy a `96 Cherokee, auto, 4.0 High Output. Now that I've gone and put a deposit on it, is there anything about that particular model year that I should have known about?


Check for the old "cracked manifold problem" ... and while doing your road test, assuming 4wd 4H 4L , get out on some gravel and make sure that's working ... if it wasn't used much, parts may be seized. And a compression check is always a good idea.
