I've heard that and it amazes me. My Jimmy stranded me exactly once and thats
because I ignored a dying fuel pump.
Other than that I had a water pump put in because the old one was leaking. Ours
leaked exactly one quart of oil per thousand miles from new when using 5w30
oil, in the summer I'd use 10w40 oil and it'd go to 1500 miles per quart.
It was an excellent woods truck, no extra power but enough to get by and it was
skid plated the length of the under carriage.
Much better woods truck than the '95 Cherokee that replaced it. That piece of
junk got stuck on wet grass...

Ick. That 2.8 was BAD mojo. It was used in Cherokees prior to the 4.0L
being available. Features included bad RMS, milling the block to accept
an
upgraded RMS and... halt-and-catch-fire (as seen on junkyard wars) mode
of
operation.
