Picked this up on Friday out past Gettysburg, PA. 134k miles on the odo. Some minor body scratches. Mechanically it seems great *knock on wood*. These things are fast for what they are. 245 hp, 345 lb. ft. of torque, AWD, high 14's/low 15's in the quarter (stock). Not bad for being 5000 lbs. Road Holding Index: .75 g. FUN as heck Jeep.
Here are some photos...

Let me know when you see this message:
"Coolant Sensor Bad."![Grin](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/smilies/LS1Tech/gr_grin.gif)
They 5.9l LTD isn't bad. Mine died with extreme age.
Tranny, center dif, rear dif, half shafts.
Each one slowly deteriorated with age.
I now have no second gear, but she keeps on going!

Pretty clean looking, I picked up an 01 recently with the 4.0. I couldn't buy a jeep with AWD though as for when I go camping I like finding the off the path tails to go camp down and AWD is not the same as front and rear locking differentials 4x4.
Still a super clean truck for its year. How much you give for it?

I'm thinking of buying one very soon. And after a lotta searching I can see you can find really clean ones of under 100k millage for less than $4to5K
Anyone know if the 1999-2004 body styles are as reliable as 1998 and below? Cause I hear those go 200k+ all the time, the tranny is the weak spots(at VERY high milleages)

That's the NV3500 you have, same as my 4.7 Dakota has, and they are not very strong haha. I wouldn't trust it behind a 360 that was anything other than stock. Even then the torque would be pushing it.

Nice GC...those 5.9 Limiteds are pretty rare. A while back I had a 5.2 '94 GC for a winter beater for a few years and it was pretty damn fun to drive...the AWD was great in the snow and made light to light holeshots in the rain fun, lol.

I love those GC's. I almost bought a 2dr Black, 2" Lift and some AR wheels.. It was awesome looking. Some sneak bought it out from underneath me for 100$ more.. I had a deposit on it and everything. I got it all back, so whatever. I ended up buying my GN a month later, so I guess it wasn't all bad
