Bought for use as a spare auto. NEW tires; exhaust; steering stabilizer; brakes. Anyone who buys this will be purposely looking for the 5.9 Engine (RARE) Very powerful- jet ahead of all traffic on the road. Check out Youtube for racing videos using this stock vehicle. No oil burning, drips or leaks. Known Problems: Power moon roof motor operates- will not open. Drivers side power door lock actuates- will not lock. Locks manually. From Four Wheeler Magazine: "As if the 220hp 5.2L V-8-powered Grand Cherokees weren't good enough, Jeep went and offered the healthier 5.9L in the new-for-1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited. In fact, they weren't satisfied with the regular ol' Dodge-version mill and stepped it up a bit with a new computer, a requirement for premium fuel, and the healthiest 4x4 exhaust note in recent memory. Rumor has it that the stock exhaust is right off the shelf at Mopar Performance. A beefier 46 RE trans swallows the grunt instead of the 44 RE unit used on 5.2L Grands, and the transfer case is the same fulltime unit with low-lock that helped the Grand Cherokee win the 4x4 of the Year title back in 1996. So it's all you could want, right? Well, not really. The 5.9L engine comes only in the swanky 5.9 Limited, which includes new body cladding, a full-dress leather interior with a rear-seat armrest, a sunroof, trick tunes, and fake wood. Not that those are bad things, but the 5.9 Limited package is a minimum $38,175 wallet knocker; with a few options not netted with the 5.9L, ours ran $38,900. The good news is standard equipment including 3.73-geared axles and a rear Dana 44 with a Trac-Lok, but the bad news for trail use is that you're stuck with pavement-priority Goodyear Wrangler HP VSB treads on one-off 16x7 wheels. Not only that, the Up Country suspension is an option-list no-go. Jeep explained that the 5.9 is targeted at buyers with a concern for street performance and handling in addition to 4x4 capability. Granted-but we found that the lack of ground clearance and the highway treads significantly diminished off-road performance versus the taller, meatier Grand Cherokees. But even handicapped by street shoes, the 5.9 still ousted all comers in this year's driving contest. The Jeep scored tops in the Urban, Highway, Sand, and Rockcrawling portions of the Ride & Drive. Other top scores fell under Engine's Available Power, Drivetrain Performance, Interior Appointments, and Four-wheeling Attributes. Score! Even so, we know the basic platform is capable of more."On May-03-16 at 06:02:04 PDT, seller added the following information: NOTE: Airbag light on only because I have accessory power on to show mileage. All good with the airbags.
