Naa, I'd try and get him down to $35. If he won't go lower I wouldn't buy it.

okay so my jeep started to over heat again, when i bought it i had to put a new water pump and belt on and i wheeled it acouple of times and it would over heat, so i put a fail safe 160 thermostat in and it stayed right at 210 or below, i recently started it up and drove it around the yard and flexed it on a stump cuz it was such a nice day in awhile and when i back it off it over heated and was right around 250, so what do you think i should do, flush it maybe and see if its blocked?

Isn't the fail safe stats unreliable...

Default 91 Cherokee with the 4.0 HO

My Jeep has a huge flat spot when you first accelerate. It is just off of idle. I know it is lacking fuel. I found a few vacum leaks and repaired them, I also changed the fuel filter, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the tps, and the crank shaft position sensor and it still has the same dead spot. Oh and I also checked fuel pressure and it was what factory specs called for. Has anyone experianced this and what should my next step be? Thank you for your help.

Maybe get some rod holders made for your garage and modify them?
