Howley Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Decided to keep it.We took the truck in this week for the front end work and got a call with bad news. The main thrust bearing is out. I'll go pick it up tomorrow and get the details.From what the mechanic said, the motor needs to be rebuilt. It may go 20 miles or 20,000.The 1991 jeep purchased 10 years ago for $4700 has lasted 10 years and 100,000 miles.Total miles on it are now near 170,000.This year I knew it was time to get ready for a replacement or spend the time and money to maintain it to last another 10 years. To have the wheel and axle bearings replaced might cost about $2k. The motor might last a bit longer and a rebuild one is about $1,200 to $2,000. The body and interior are in good shape.My hope was these projects would not happen all at once. Even if $6,000 were spent on the truck it is cheaper than replacing it with one that cost $20,000 - $25,000.For this truck I know that to get it to last another 10 years it might take a series of $1,500 to $2,000 dollar maintenance projects. I just thought they could proceed one at a time and not all at once.Now is sooner rather than later. Time for a new engine or rebuild this one.

johnny quest Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 sounds like its time for a stroker :brows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howley Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 We picked up the truck with the front end and power steering pump replaced. It just made it home before shredding the serpentine belt so is not drive able now. We were told the transmission and transfer case are good for another 100,000 miles as is. The fluids were changed and looked good. PM me for a link to The Invoice for the work done so far. Web site has been set up. 1991 Jeep Truck New Ft brakes (2,000 miles), tires (sold) and fuel pump (200 miles). Down the road would be the rear end and small paint touch ups.

Howley Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 Buy this great near no rust rig "as is" and re-build the motor OR I'll have to buy a re-build, or crate motor and put it in over the next 6 months and THEN sell it for Top Dollar. ;-) I'll try to keep updates listed here.

johnny quest Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 i think that there is a bit of interst in the truck, but i doubt that anyone on here will be willing to spend $3500 on a truck that doesnt run. just sayin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Advice to seller: Get it running, starting, stopping, steering, and road worthy and re-advertise it if you still want to sell. Then you might get what you are asking, maybe even "top dollar" because it's a fairly decent truck. No one is going to be interested in paying your repair bills to some local shop.
