1989 Jeep Wagoneer Limited from North America - Comments

No problems at all, just replaced the crank sensor and that was all within the 8 years I've owned it.

Great truck. Gives me no trouble and I trust it more than my 97' Caravan.

What sort of gas mileage do you get? I have an 86 Wagoner and it just sucks up the gas..

Thanks,

Michael.

Hi. I purchased a 1990 Jeep Wagoneer Limited (the smaller one) with 120k miles in May 2001. So far so good.

Shortly after I purchased it, I replaced the brakes (front pads & and rear shoes), shocks all around and I had an additional leaf spring installed in the rear packs.

I was pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive the parts were at the local parts store. I replaced the brakes, shocks, etc.. because I use it to pull a horse trailer around Vermont. I have a small 2 horse trailer with electric brakes that weighs about 2200 lbs and I usually load only 1 horse ~1000 lbs and hay ~200 lbs. The car has done a great job so far.

I won't win any races, but I've had no problems and the 4 wheel drive has allowed me to get out of some wet, muddy places. But... it does eat gas. I average about 16 mpg or so around town and 11 or 12 when I'm towing the trailer. I had a SAAB 900s before purchasing the Jeep and I was averaging about 26 mpg with the SAAB, so I did experience gas shock with the Jeep... But, I like my Jeep.

Have 1985 wagoneer it needs a carburetor, but I can't locate one.

I just bought a 1986 Grand Wagoneer, 360, 4 wheel drive, sunroof etc. Runs great, changes to 3rd gear a little weird, but..only paid $800 for it.

Needs new woodgrain, I want to go with the 578 Cherry Oak. Can I get some advice on where to buy and how difficult it is to put on.

I had a 86, grand cherokee here in germany, And had slipping problems with my trans. Found out I had to service "new filter and oil" about every six months, Hated to sell it, but with gas at around 6$ a gallon had to adjust, I really miss it.

I just bought an 89 Wagoneer Limited with the 4.0 motor. Paid 500 bucks for it runs great, looks great. Sucks gas!
