How long will a 99 Jeep Cherokee last?
That said, according to most users, the Grand Cherokee has an average maximum lifespan of 20 years. However, not just because the Jeep Grand Cherokee can last up to 20 years, it doesn’t mean it is always safe to purchase a used unit that is less than 20 years old.
Why is the XJ Cherokee a good car?
The Cherokee is so light thanks to its unibody construction which isn’t without its flaws. The XJ Cherokee is also arguably the best size for an off-road vehicle. The super small wheelbase of the Wrangler makes it more maneuverable. But, that small wheelbase isn’t the best for wheeling.
Which is the best engine in a jeep?
If you’ve already owned a Jeep than you know how awesome the 4.0-liter is. If you haven’t owned a Jeep before, let me reiterate: the AMC 4.0-liter is one of the best engines ever put in a production vehicle. Seriously, it’s like the Chevy 350 of the Jeep world.
How many miles does a 4.0 liter engine do?
It’s not unheard of for a 4.0-liter to do 200,000 miles without a sweat. They seem to have major engine failures at 300k miles or higher. AMC developed new inline-6 engines over time, but the AMC 4.0-liter’s oldest ancestor is a tractor engine.
How tall is the average person in a Jeep Cherokee?
When you think of a Cherokee, you think of a big fat SUV, but really it’s quite small. It’s about the length of my old camry, and about half a head shorter than me (I’m 5’10”). But it’s roomy inside, enough to comfortably fold the seat down and sleep in, and it still gives you that high-up feeling that people like when driving a truck.
What should I do about my 1999 Jeep Cherokee?
Over the years the biggest repair that was needed was the rear main seal replacement at 280,000 miles.

The engine has never been stripped down to do an overhaul or replace anything, besides spark plugs and the like.
What kind of mpg does a 1999 Jeep Cherokee get?
The mpg reads 15 but i tested this and found that it is getting 21 in the city. Awesome. Oil change every 3000 miles and other regular maintenance and I believe this engine will go to 400,000 without an overhaul. People complain about the ride being crappy which is correct, but then you don’t buy a jeep for comfort.
Is the Jeep Cherokee a good car to buy?
People complain about the ride being crappy which is correct, but then you don’t buy a jeep for comfort. This vehicle is a true utility truck. And it actually handles quite well in the city. Jeep designed a great truck with the cherokee and plan on keeping this going for as long as I can. Eventually will restore this back to factory look and feel.
What kind of transmission did a 1999 Jeep Cherokee sport have?
I had a 1999 Jeep Cherokee Sport. This Jeep had the 4.0L I-6 with a 4 speed automatic transmission. It was a very good vehicle for the West Virginia winters, my driveway is just over 2,000 ft up a hill, and it never failed to make it all the way to the top.
