I have read some of the previous posts about GWs. I have read what some values and things to look for might be. The 88 that I am looking at has 145,000 miles on it. The door windows and rear glass all work. The power seats work. I did not try to open the rear gate. It runs fair. It did have a little hesitation but it has been sitting for a while. I have looked in my catalog of 4X4s and know that it has a 727/NP242. I belive the 4 wheel worked OK. I drove it with the switch engaged and the light on but could not feel any binding in the front like what all the other 4X4s I have driven. I was far from home and could not find any gravel or mud to test it further. The front tires were a little wore and I believe it might need some repairs.
Is there anything else I should be looking for? It did not have any puddles under it. The power steering pump did have a minor leak but this should be an easy fix I hope.
This GW will be used for pulling my John boat for hunting and getting around when the snow flies. It is priced at $2000. Does it sound worth the effort? What can you tell me about how the 4X4 works. I know it is vacuum but does it have an emergency engage? Is the rear open or limited slip?
Any help would be appreciated.
