Jeep Cherokee SE 4.0

[Brithunter]

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is anything you good folks can tell me about these vehicles. I am just buying a 1993 with 83,000 miles on it and have not had anything to do with Jeeps before. I noticed they have the drive selector (2WD-4WD) located to the left of the normal gear selector. Now does this want to be in 2WD for normal driving on tarmac roads?

Reason for the silly question is that I seem to recall that in London when the Cherokee was a new model that the Yuppies types were thrashing them around from traffic lights to traffic lights and several had rear diffs give out. I do not want to run into problems so any help would be most useful.
