1984 Jeep Grand Wagoneer review from North America
"One hella of a truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the Engine when I first bought the truck.
Changed the Tranny in oct. 2000.
All sorts of small things, from waterpumps, to wheel bearings, and just about everything in between.
General comments?
Dear God, I love these things. I've owned 5 since I turned 16, and my dad has owned several himself. People think I'm crazy with how much work I have to put in to them to keep them on the road, however I enjoy it. I've yet to come across a more versitle 4x4 sport utility. I currently have two of them. An 84 with 10 inches of lift and 36 in swampers, and an 88 with 3 inches of lift and 31 for gas mileage, which isn't good anyway. The interior is the most comfortable out of any vehicle I've ever owned, and now that I've rebuilt my 84 from the ground up its very reliable, and its always gotton me home after a day of wheeling in the back woods near my vacation property. My 88 was purchased at a car auction in june of 01 and for 500 bucks, and its giving me no problems at all in the 15 months that I've owned it. And itll hit 180000 next month. The transmissions in these things are chrysler 727 tf. and they are stout tranny's. Both mine have dana 44's front and rear.
