1981 Jeep CJ 5 with the Pontiac "Iron Duke" 4 cylinder engine. I owned it for about 70,000 miles. AMC used a mix of parts on this thing. 6 sets of brake pads (Ford brakes) I rebuilt the calipers twice and put on a set of rebuilt calipers, the brakes just drug all the time. The engine had metric fasteners and the rest of the vehicle was standard. at about 50,000 miles the motor was using oil bad. I was a Private in the Army and drove 13 miles to base. I would go to the motor pool and get a quart of oil every day, it was using a quart of oil every 26 miles. I did this for about a month before I could afford to rebuild the motor. I got rid of the Jeep at 99,000 and the motor needed rebuilt again. This was the vehicle that swore me off American made cars until I bought a Dodge Ram diesel pickup 20 some years later.
