Ml55 review

And was also a POS

@@NWI_Steel how so?... Mines got 230k and just did a 4000 mile road trip, rock crawled up a mountain pass on stock radial tires and drove back?... Traded it for 2 jetskis 10 years ago and hasn't had a single issue.

Why is that "crazy?" It's called progress.

@@sidefx996 because it's 4 years later.

The Ranger and Frontier were both under 100 ft!! 😂😂.

I have a 5.2 v8 but i hear the 5.9 can go right into it. Thats what i may do with mine or just Ls swap it. Ill see what i want then ill go with the answer

@@22lrjayden81 i just did a 5.9 swap on my 97 5.2 zj! it went pretty flawless as long as you have a later year with the new computer it should all work plug n play. BALANCING IS DIFFERENT!! harmonic balancer and flexplate weights.

@@xthral awesome, mine is a 1998 so its the last year they made the zj before 1999 when they went to the WJ models

Email them! I'm sure they would love that

Yeah I've had a couple of the 5.9. GC cutting out the catalyst and changing the air intake would really wake it up.

Did you build it yourself? I have a JC from 2000. Curious on how to add mods to it, but I don’t know who to call for the job.

I’m in Pueblo! I have a sequoia. Let’s hit the trails!!!

Colorado springs in the house

Noooo the Durango R/T was!!

If at the time was the 90s.. then the Gmc typhoon was like 0-60 in 5.5

@@jonathancrews169 True I forgot about those, they where very quick!

@@jl456 I’m just going by what Jeep advertising stated in 98. .

They’re slow lol the 911 is faster in the real world. The 5.9 magnum falls on its face after 2nd gear, runs out of horsepower.

Dakota rt

Hell yea, my buddy bought a new one back then & I was so jealous because it blew the doors off my '88 Trans Am GTA 5.7 in the short runs but over long distance my GTA topped out at 160 where his Syclone quit at 130 but it was still a bad ass truck

@@nadronnocojr Had a new one of those too but was stolen in '98

@@SquirminHermanthe1eyedGerman my buddy in highschool had a typhoon and we had a lot of fun in that thing. Its launch was unmatched with all wheel drive.

@@ntme6506 I was 25 when the Typhoon was new & it was just a beast like the 1989 20th anniversary Turbo Trans Am & the 1987 Buick Grand National GNX! I had a 1983 burgundy/silver Buick Regal Ttop Ttype & a 1978 gold Ttop Z28 in high school & I saved enough money 3 years after graduation that I bought myself the black/gold GTA as a graduation present! Yea those all wheel drives came out the dig like its ass was on fire!

Nope lol. Still slow as hell.

Mine is tuned, has an aftermarket intake, 52mm TB, cat delete and 3" out the back. It's no racecar by any means, but it'll smoke the 33's on it in 2wd. It's 242 swapped.

Had one too and it was AWD. Stayed at the gas station!

My 99 Ram Sport with the 318 and 6” lift, 35” tires, one ton axels is really hard on gas!!!

I remember that. If I remember correctly they damn near had to grease it up and wedge it in with a shoe horn. LOL!!

@@jbandt yup… it was fantastic! Only pickup 🛻 that was better was the 2000 Ford F-150 Lightning… that was seriously fast 💨

I have an rt and it walks all over lightnings all the time, especially in the turns .. like mustang and Camaro. The mustang could NOT go around a turn on rails

@@jbandtactually, the v8 fit great under the hoods on the dakota’s easier to wrench on then any other midsize truck.

and they brought out the n/a soft top to boot 💀

Yeah the 5.9 is a dog…. The 911 driver let the Cherokee take that first race lol

I think the whole point of this vid is to get the auction price up...

I had nachos for dinner last night

Yeah but that was an AMC 360 though or did you put a Chrysler 360 in it??

@@extremedrivrIt was AMCs tall deck 360, the same engine they used in the AMX & the Rebel just detuned by '73! Fun fact, it was also the same engine that was in the '74 Bricklin for 1 year {the same car used in The Junkman 1982 [HB Halicki from Gone in 60 Seconds 1974]}! The 360 has the distinction of being the last AMC motor built as Chrysler used it in the Grand Wagoneer until 1991! I had that Cherokee for 38 yrs along with my 1976 Jeep CJ 304 4bbl 3sp {got them both as a senior in high school} & just sold both a couple yrs ago

Throw a 78/75 on it. It'll wake up then.

@@racerx250 A 78/75 what?

@@marcmartino476 78/75 is the size of a turbo. VS racing makes a few that are top performers.

@@racerx250 Interesting, I will check them out. Thanks.

Nope the 5.9 is a turd lol.

Faster than 5.0 explorers?

@@speedracerjeff they definitely are but for back then it was pretty stout.

@@angelgjr1999 yeah by a good chunk. The 5.0 explorer was roughly the same weight and only made around 210hp and quite a bit less torque.

@@cfltitanif you were around in like 2019 and before you could’ve picked one of those 5.9 zjs up for like $10k with around 20-30k miles on it

A RAV4 Prime would spank it off the line.

You had a 5.9 in green? Did you paint it?

@TCB84 no original paint green with gold lettering

@@Tony-hf9mv Interesting. Didn't know they made the 5.9 in green.

04s dont have the 5 7, u mean an 05?, 04s would have the 4 7

@@pinesurf1 that is very possibly

I've got a spare pcm with a flyin Ryan 93 tune on it I'll sell ya at a reasonable price.

@@racerx250 I also have the 93 octane tuned pcm with the stock as a backup. Thank you anyway.

In California it’s not uncommon to see limtied versions of them. Also Lots of zj driving around with 5.2

You're half right. Grand cherokee and the durango rt had the same exact drivetrain, the dakota rt was only rear wheel drive.

Different diffs Chrysler 9 1/4 with 3.92 ratio used in the Dakota’s, and Durango’s. Dana 44 in the rear on the Jeep and some of the jeeps have aluminum center sections on the Dana 44.

Do it and enjoy it. My boss said when I asked, "you only live once". Last February I picked up a 2004 Corvette with 97k miles for under $14k, at a local-to-me used car lot with a clean title and a decent Carfax report, not perfect, but decent. Not a garage queen but driven around and enjoyed. It's a nice looking car with bright red paint, red seats, and red carpet, yes lot's of bright torch red. To buy an older Vette like that, there's usually some nice new parts and all the BS stuff that fails has already been fixed. The car had a couple different things fixed that were under open recall that usually will make this car inoperable, by the previous owners. It's still a "fast car" with a 350hp LS1 aluminum V8, transmission is in the rear of the car so almost 50/50 weight split front to rear. Parts are cheap and the C5 Corvette is known to be fairly reliable with out known major engine or transmission issues and falling apart like some cars do. Before you buy an older discontinued car model, see what parts are available to fix it. The C5 Corvette still has a HUGE after market support and parts availabilty for a few more years.
