You might want to see how much it will cost you to replace the engine. You don't know what the po has and hasn't done to it.

i just need it to last until the summer TBH. then i can worry about an engine swap. i kind of assumed that, if it hit 355k, it must be somewhat ok. It looks just like The Roosters cherokee.

A lot of Renix jeep last to that mileage with regular matience So just make sure it has good oil pressure with a mech gauge and take it for a drive make sure it is completely warm to check oil pressure
Let us know how it goes good luck

Well AMC is the one who created the Cherokee and the Renix 4.0

for some reason i never thought of that perfect acronym. AMC rocks. ive been working on getting a kammback.

its been almost a year since i sold my xj :O

spiral_energy

The Rooster
