derf Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I'm going through that area in a couple of weeks. Too bad the Subaru won't have enough to tow that back with me...

JZLAJeep Posted July 7 Posted July 7 I'll be in Coeur d'Alene at the beginning of August for work. Hmm...

JZLAJeep Posted July 8 Posted July 8 I contacted the seller, asked about the "engine runs but needs work" and about the interior since there are no interior pictures. I received the following: "Interior is pretty good and it is rust free. "I rebuilt the engine 2 years ago bc it was smoking like it wasn't burning fuel good enough. Thinkin' it was tired, I replaced literally everything. It is wet sleeve so I replaced the pistons, rings, & cylinders as a set. Everything to do it is online since that engine was installed in a number of vehicles in Europe including Jeep Cherokees there. "New copper core radiator. Remanufactured turbo. Clutch kit complete with slave cylinder. Professional rebuild of the fuel pump & injectors (Spokane Pump). Rebuilt alternator...List goes on. "Started it and it ran exactly as before. And then it leaked coolant from somewhere. I tightened the various hose clamps. Still couldn't find the leak. Figuring it might be the newly installed head gasket, I bought a new one and was going to do that over but instead concentrated on the smoking and hard starting. Figuring it was old fuel, I installed a brand new fuel tank! New fuel... same problem."
Pete M Posted July 8 Posted July 8 don't know the details, but I swear I read that Lowes rents trucks with unlimited miles
