[quote=”YoungV8Mechanic” post=164076]Hello, tomorrow I will be setting up my first interview with a shop chain, and I was wondering what would be the right thing to wear. Thanks, Keegan.[/quote]
Hope it went well for you ,
[quote=”maxiitech” post=165890]It’s no big secret these shops do this. If it’s a big repair they add on miscellaneous repair costs. Is this a criminal offense? Can they be indicted on charges?[/quote]
Basically , no they can’t
[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=165210]Here’s Part 2. Tried something different with the intros. Let me know what you think.

you should put some dramatic Criminal Minds or CSI flash back in there for these multiple part videos as well as some cheesy music to match .
Under drive pulley , an CAI and exhaust , get the PCM tuned , inter cooler would help too . Depends how much you wish to spend . There is an Australian company called Mace Engineering who do performance parts for them [URL]maceengineering.com.au[/URL]

[quote=”Holicori” post=163691]I’ve got a slew saved on Amazon…but looking for feedback to hopefully not buy books that aren’t worth the paper they are printed on

I think you might struggle
Have a look on Amazon books , or maybe a manufacture specific site may have some books

[quote=”EricTheCarGuy” post=163323][quote=”Evil-i” post=163279]Apparently, this Jeep uses something called “UniFrame” construction, which is, as far as I can tell, a hybrid combining unibody and body-on-frame design elements.
Lifted this from Wikipedia’s “Vehicle frame” page:
” American Motors (with its partner Renault) during the late-1970s incorporated unibody construction when designing the Jeep Cherokee (XJ) platform using the manufacturing principles (unisides, floorpan with integrated frame rails and crumple zones, and roof panel) used in its passenger cars, such as the Hornets and all-wheel-drive Eagles for a new type of frame called the “Uniframe … a robust stamped steel frame welded to a strong unit-body structure, giving the strength of a conventional heavy frame with the weight advantages of Unibody construction.” This design was also used with the XJC concept developed by American Motors prior to its absorption by Chrysler, which later became the Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ). —including modern day sport utility vehicles (Jeep Grand Cherokee et.al.).”
If nothing else, it’s an unusual engineering feature that might help you fall in love with this thorn in your side. Or not.
Not that it helps you at this point, but a possible reason for the hammered valve could be that while the engine was in the process of overheating due to coolant loss, the driver probably jammed his foot through the firewall in an effort to keep the failing engine running. Could have over-revved the engine, causing valve float, which led to the piston tagging the valve.[/quote]
I can’t see myself ever falling in love with a Grand Cherokee of this vintage. As I pointed out, I’ve seen way too many problems with them.
My father in law has Parkinson’s, not likely to be putting his foot through the firewall. Everyone agrees, this engine was a problem. It didn’t have anything to do with driver error.[/quote]
My older brother had a Grand Cherokee a few years back , the V8 model , it was without a doubt the worst car I’ve ever experienced , the handling was vague to say the least , and surprisingly slow for a V8 as well , his taste in cars did improve albeit slightly , when he traded the Grand Cherokee for an Audi S6 Quattro .
Really enjoyed the Nissan FIF videos , they are a good car .
