It was a pretty insane knock. A pretty important part went through the pan at one point, and that was about it for that shitty engine. i think 2 years had these 2.8L gm V6 in them... junk engines. total shit. and oddly enough, mated to a chrysler A908 trans
I've heard one other person say they are really awesome engines, but everyone else i've heard from or talked to just told me horror story after horror story about the quality and power of these engines. From a few people i heard that they came stock with a rod knock :) just a joke of course, though this one seriously had a bad one. The 2.5 (i think) liter 4 cyl's sopposedly put out almost the same power, but held up, and used less gas in these.
Nice! thanks for the advice, we probably wouldn't have thought of those things, and would have quickly failed again. which it might anyway, because the oil pressure starts normal, and quickly drops down way low as it warms up... so its pretty much doomed. but it'll be fun to get some more runs out of it. Then hopefully we can find an amc 4 for the beast :)
Tom, When you take the pan off to weld it, grind the rod off where it doesn't hit anything and let 'er eat on 5. Or, if thr od is busted at the big end, Hose clamp some sheet metal around the crank for oil control and come alive with 5.....LOL
Thats from mikes camera, and he's got a youtube channel going on too. i think he has the footage from that up in one of the vids. if you want to check out his stuff go to my favorites, he should be the first video. he gets alot of good stuff i miss! like me flipping the wheelhorse over backwards almost slamming down on me : )
Im giving this romp 5 stars for rompage. Good Cherokee abuse and I'm liking the tractor wheelieing that was amazing more needed! Were you really mad at the end? 8:20 ish?
we do the wheelie action with the wheelie horse alot, but alot of it doesn't end up on camera for some reason. haha, nah, i wasn't mad. just having some fun :) cause i got the thing stuck.
Yeah! us too, that was really impressive for sure! The thing loved it! yesterday, we threw a rod through the oil pan though. still runs, so we're thinking about patching the hole, and driving it on 5 cylinders or what ever till it breaks again :)
hay tom i am finally getting my dream garden tractor in 2 weeks its a wheel horse like u guys hav but im gonna use it for work it has hook ups for a front end loader
how many cylinders is that cherokee runnin on? LOL I love it when it stalls (but I'd like to hear more cranking LOL -- just MY opinion. you guys are awesome!!
was the engine knocking, or was the rod rattling?

go beat up on some MTD tractor, leave the bolens/wheel horse/etc to us.
I'd be 'hatin' about the Cherokee, but it's got a GM 2.8 v6 under the hood... poor lil bastards should have never been born.
