The 5.

9 Limited models were produced only for the 1998 model year.
Power comes from a 5.
9-liter V8, rated at 245 horsepower and 345 lb-ft of torque in stock form.
Output is sent to all four wheels through a 4-speed automatic transmission and Jeep's Quadra-Trac full-time four-wheel drive system with low range.
I have owned this for twelve years, running Royal Purple full synthetic in both differentials and changing oil every 3k.
I have replaced the heater core, evaporator and radiator.
Alternator replace with a Crown OEM.
According to Jeep, it is designed to deliver full power at low RPM.
I replaced the entire HVAC ducting as the previous owner tried to change the heater core by cutting it out.
Just laugh, that is what he did.
I change the heater core and evaporator at that time.
I also replaced the cracked header panel with new.
It’s behind the grille that the grille, headlights and front stuff screw into.
I ran it in the winter, washing it regularly, and it has received three crown rust treatments, and some generous application of Cosmoline.
As of October 2023, it has new ball joints, axle shafts and boots, ABS sensors, brakes.
Other than high miles and a some rust it is all there, runs excellent as it should.
It is an absolute beast in the snow.
