Heep...I mean Jeep.

Well, Im sure y'all have noticed I havent been on much lately. A couple weeks ago, my gf's jeep started ticking and knocking horribly (4,0L I6). So I parked it and found a parts jeep for $400. Turns out the motor only had 90K on it and looked imaculate inside (not even any sludge in the oil pan). So I got a great deal on it

Got the swap finished today and had time to take the oil pan off. Turns out #5 piston shattered for some reason. There was no other noticable damage.

What year is it? The late 90s-early 00s 4.0s are known for broken piston skirts.

crazy how some jeeps are complete shit and others can keep going and going. my brother has a 96 XJ with 250k still going. i dont think he even changes the oil anymore. it's like they had a group of humans assembling some jeeps and a group of monkeys assembly others.

Which group built the good ones?

Jeep was a 1998 Grand Cherokee...Engine only had 175k on it, which is nothing for these jeeps.

Doorgunner, lmao for the landmine comment.

i was implying the humans, but i suppose strong cases could be made for either lol

Apparently for some it is something.
