Greetings to all proud jeep owners, my name is Kevin and as of this Friday I will officially own a 96 sport. Its got roughly 181k on the motor, I am relatively new to jeep motors is this high or should I not worry and just continue with regular maintenance and a tune up. Idk if I should say this here but fellas give me credit I have seen the errors in my ways lol. I used to race ricers but it could take the new england weather, started looking into jeeps and said, f-it I want a man's vehicle lol.

 

Welcome to the family.

181,000 miles is still in great shape for a 4.0 if it was maintained well by the previous owner(s).

 

Thank you very much, lets say that for the sake of conversation that it wasn't, I'm no mechanic I wouldn't be able to tell by looking at it but it doesnt knock or tick, everything seems to be there that should be but if it wasn't properly maintained, what should I be on the lookout for?

 

welcome to the forum! im in central mass. congats on the jeep. things to look for are rusted out floors, busted vacume lines, cracked header at the collector, valve cover gasket leaks, rear main seal leak, leaking oil filter adapter, saggy rear leafs, im sure theres other stuff im not thinking of right now

 

Hey Kevin, Welcome to CF. The above posts cover it pretty well.
