I always heard there they were inline 6 I didn't know that they made v6 Cherokees except for the new ones (the adopted brother lol)Originally Posted by BlueXJ
Please post photos of the V6 Cherokees, as I have never seen any. It is possible since I have little experience with them. Just been around Jeeps for about 50 years.

When AMC came out with the Xj platform in 85-86 there was a 2.8 V6 model Cherokee. When Chrysler took over production, they canned the little V6 and kept the I-4 (go figure) the new 4.0 was now the go to engine used in the Xj.Originally Posted by XJCherokee182

I still have a pic of mine when I first got her. They were the Wagoneer Cherokees. The ones with the 4 head lights. I'll dig it up when I get home.

Official deals were made in 86 but yes, Official takeover occoured in 88. Remember cars are made one year prior to their release. They finished their model runs before takeover.Originally Posted by Kris smith
Chryco took over AMC in late 88 so the 87 and 88 are still AMC and they use the 4.0

easiest way to tell is the 8.25 has a flat bottom on the axle. the two diff covers look very similar. so unless you know what to look for, you will be confused.
8.25

If he bothers to look, yes.Originally Posted by caged
now do you really think he can be able to tell the difference between the d35 and the 8.25 just by referring to this pic? i bet you couldn't either... if you've never seen them before.easiest way to tell is the 8.25 has a flat bottom on the axle. the two diff covers look very similar. so unless you know what to look for, you will be confused.
